    Anyone have experience with these? Any pics of them installed with the new stance? 2012 pics prefered!!!

    I am not going to be doing tires and wheels soon so with that being said would it look goofy?

    I have a leveling kit on mine..you can see some pics in my build thread.

    I am eventually going to be lifting my truck but needed new tires and wanted to be able to clear 33s. That was 33,000 miles ago and I haven't gotten around to it yet. The leveling kit does what I need...for now.

    I have Pro Comp's leveling kit as a temporary setup just to clear the new wheels/tires. Purchasing a legit 3" lift from TJM very soon.

    True...but I only have so much $$$ so you gotta prioritize. My leveling kit cost me about $50.00 and I have no delusions that I'm ready to tackle any off-road situation. But, eventually I will be able to put the lift I want on (Toytec 3" OME lift) and be ready for more fun off-road.

    With wheel spacers and quite a bit of trimming of plastic, I clear with a 2.5" leveling kit.

    I hear you there man I am tight budget myself but I got lucky and got in on a group buy on my eibach springs. I think I paid $106 for them and they leveled out my truck nice after I got the rear leaf TSB.

    (Truck looks a little nose high in the picture, but I'm just parked on a slight incline, my setup levels almost perfectly)

    Only problem with the kits that are based on or coupled with the AAL TSB is, is there is no AAL TSB for the '12's (at least yet).

    It's still just leafs and adding another to lift it. Nothing scientific about it. Better than a block and less iffy than using spacers to lift the front. Just get one with desired amount of lift.
