NO COMMENTS/QUESTIONS/REPLIES*****PICS AND INFO OF LEVELING KITS ONLY*********
PM YOUR COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS TO THE PERSON.-that way we will keep the thread clutter free.

Post up a pic/pics of your truck with your leveling kit. The more pics, the better-everyone loves looking at pics. :cool:
-Include all the following info:
*Year of truck/size of truck(1/2 ton,3/4 ton)
*Brand name of leveling kit and size/where it was bought/price
*Size/brand of tires on truck and rim information (rim size/offset)
*Likes/dislikes of the kit
*Tips/advice to putting on the kit to help others.
*Any other info you think is important or useful

Hopefully this takes off, i think it will work well. It would be good to keep all this info in one thread for people to quickly compare different kits and look at others trucks to get an idea of what they need to buy to get their own desired look.

OK, I put these pics on another thread earlier.
Rough Country 2" leveling kit $64.95 + shipping
stock tire size for now 265/70/17 Goodyear Wrangler ATS
so far so good, the ride seems a little stiffer
dealer install + allignment $160.00, probably could of done it but well worth it for me
looks like a 4WD now :D

2007 NBS Chevy 1500
2" leveling kit from ebay 50 bucks including shipping.
285/60/18 BFG All Terrains

Only dislike is i dont know how well the normal Grade 5 steel bolts will last with rusting and what not.

Pros....I love it ride didnt get affected at all it feels more responsive if anything. it took me about an hour to do the first side because i was scared to break anything and what not but after doing the first side i had the second side done in about 20 minutes.

also prior to installing i noticed my truck already had a 1 inch spacer above the strut to give me a 3 " total lift including an add a leaf...here are my results

Tires rubbed a bit on driverside mudflap in reverse at one specific steering angle. I took a dremel and sanded down the square edge of flap so it was tapered and that took care of it. Well worth it. The stance looks great with the kit and tires.

I went with Maxx Tracs (or something). Unfortunately there was no reviews on these kits but the company that puts them on were in our local auto mall and the dealer that services my car recommended them. So no warranty issues if ever arises.

'11Sierra 1500
MaxTracs 3" leveling kit. Bought at Wheel n Tire Connection in Irvine California $250 parts and labor plus up to 12k miles of free 4 wheel alignment.
305/45/22 Goodyear
I haven't had any problems yet. Just got them put on over the weekend. We'll see in 700 miles when they said to come back so they can do an alignment again.

This is my 2007 Chevy Silverado 1500 4x4 Blue Granite Metallic

Wheels: Ultra Goliath 20 x 9 with 0 offset

Tires: 305/55/20 Nitto Trail Grapplers

Level Kit: Rough Country 2" Level Kit, paid $64.95 + Free shipping and installed it myself.
Here is the link to the kit http://www.jcwhitney.com/front-suspensi ... cwx?filt...)

I have only driven about 200 miles on the level kit. However I installed new wheels and tires at the same time so it is tough to determine how the level kit has affected the ride and performance of the truck.
