Leveling kit left the nose up 3/4" and I hate the look!

    I'm gonna just drive the fucker with a vibration. I'm clearly not educated enough to put new rims and tires on a truck. Sheesh!

    Let's not bust his chops too much. Live and learn right?

    I was asking if it was a dealership he got it from but les Schwab, I get it.

    They're busting your nuts, but your really not that bad off. I'm not sure i would take it back to where you got it done if they told you the spacer would settle..

    Holy fuck I just put OME 887's with 5100's and a rear Icon 1.5 Progressive AAL with rear Icon shocks and Camburg UCA's. Plus 5 TRD Bronze Beadlocks with 5 Cooper ST/MAXX 265/75/16 tires on for less than that.

    All these haters, man your truck is brand new and looks good from the one picture you posted. New Factory springs will settle a little with time, just figure out your vibration and you should be good.

    I think they are just busting my chops. I'm cool with that.

    I'll take it and have someone look at the vibration I have now and see if we can't that corrected.

    If not, the mom mini van wheels and tires go back on it. Spacers come out.

    The vibration feels like drive line because I can feel it in the gas pedal.

    Good lord...I knew Schwab overcharged but thats a whole new level. My buddy had a 2 inch lift/level (with blocks) and wheels/tires for his Sierra 1500 for 2k...and I though that was overpriced! Sorry OP, you got hosed. Its a reason I never go to the big chains like that. If you were nearby I would show you how to do it yourself, suspension work is fairly cut and dry. I've done a suspension rebuild with a socket set and 6 pack of Coors...

    Hopefully you can sell your stock wheels and tires for a decent price to offset some of the cost.

    I was just thinking that...I could do a semi-full suspension without spacers, wheels and tires, and still have enough left over for some katskin leather seats, some light bars, a nice dinner for the wife and I...and the 6 pack while I install it all.

    It could seriously be something stupid like a out of balance tire.

    OP before your head explodes and you lose sleep over this, go back and have them check the balance on all 4 tires. Schwab does road force balancing, they should be able to dial it in. I'd bet this is the issue.

    See if they will throw on some 1 inch blocks to the rear to fix the bro lean too...after all, they told you it would be "level."
