My first mod just came in

[PowerWagon2012]

I can't wait to install my leveling kit! 2.5" zone level! Anyone know how hard the install is? I'd like to tackle it myself.

Get-r done!

 

[discojables]

I never even changed my own oil and I was able to figure out how to install my level. Having the right tools helps. IE: Coil spring compressor and breaker bar...

sweet

 

[PowerWagon2012]

yeah the local performance truck shop (they specialize in lifts and such) wants $250 to install it. I feel like I'd rather install it myself, then pay $80 for my alignment. I don't have a spring compressor though. Is it absolutely necessary?

 

[quietpeen]

Gonna take a guess that you want the spring compressor. If you have a local autozone they should loan you one

 

[discojables]

Yes you will need it. Checkers and auto zone rent them out. Look at the spring make sure your getting the right one. Air tools are nice but not necessary. There are youtube how to videos also.

 

[durango4819]

yes get a spring compressor! autozone will let you use one for $50 and give you the money back if you bring it back in one piece lol

 

[PowerWagon2012]

Yeah I have to go there to rent a torque wrench anyway lol. I'm excited for this little project.

Move. Installing a level on a 4th hen was easy. Took me less than 3 hours and I wasn't hurrying.

Sweet. Looking forward to the pics.

Wow, you need to get your hands dirty more often

 

[Stangshcky12]

You don't *need* a spring compressor since your truck doesn't have coil overs like 1500. It would help some.
I actually ended up using a bottle jack between the axle and frame to get enough room to reinstall the spring with the spacer on top. I wasn't to crazy about using the spring compressor on the HD springs. I wish I had thought about using the jack before I finished the drivers side lol I could have skipped the spring compressor

 

[PowerWagon2012]

Well didn't have time to tackle the install today. Hopefully tomorrow. My buddy told me I need to replace my shocks when I install my level. This is my first time modding a truck so excuse my naiveness lol.

That's going to look sweet. You do not need to buy new shocks though.

 

[Stangshcky12]

Something else you don't *need* but might help
My girlfriends 2500 rode much better with +2" shocks then it did with the stockers but they did have 150k miles on it

I'm excited to see it. You have a 2012 1500 right? 2wd or 4wd?
What'd it run you?

 

[Picton]

Good luck on the install. I've been considering a leveling kit myself.

Nah I have a 2012 2500 powerwagon.

Got it online for $108 shipped.
