Truxxx (spacer kit) is easier and faster than a 5100 (shocks) install.

yeah let me know about who your gonna have put it on and what they are charging. I think tox mentioned getting the dealer to put it on, but it would be a little more money, but you wont have to fight them over warranty issues later. I am thinking about it too.

I haven't decided yet. One of my hunting buddies runs and co-owns a alignment shop. He hasn't ever done one, but will if I ask him. It would be a cheap cheap install..........I think. I might get an azzhole charge if it's a pain in the butt.

LOL, right. I was reading through the Truxx installation instructions and it didnt seem that hard. But what do i know. I am no mechanic by any means. To be honest, i have never even heard of a leveling kit before until i joined this forum. I was looking at a post tox responded to with truxx in it from a while back filled with pictures of leveled trucks. And now i cant stop thinking about getting it leveled. and new tires. dam this forum, dam it to hell lol.

Hey soul...........I bought it from a truck after-market accessory shop...........they do all the bolt on acc., wheels tire and lifts, spray-in liners, etc..............................I bought it from them and they installed. I paid $450 for front level kit installed and that included the front end alignment......rear 1 inch block was $150 installed.................

I like doing some stuff myself, but this is the stuff that holds the whole truck up and I was not taking the chance with safety, not having the right tools, damage, etc..............you get it, it is too easy to write a check and do it right, instead of F'in it up!
