    Would you guys say $695 for a leveling kit plus install is a solid price?

    it would be a pro comp kit with 3 inch front and 1 inch rear. Checking around town here in Vegas for the best deal!

    Any suggestions or input would be much appreciated!

    Fyi anything over 2"- 2.5" is a bad idea. Lot of problems with 3"

    3” lift in the front? Yikes…

    2” is max on these trucks if you don’t wanna terrible ride or start breaking things.

    See that’s what I thought as well about the 3” in the front. The shop literally recommended this so that was a red flag for me!


    I’m going to shoot for 2” front and 1” rear

    Bilstein 5100s- will give you 1.5-2inch in front (4th or 5th notch)= true level. you can always add a leaf in the rear if you carry heavier loads. All 4 can be had for around $400.

    I decided I’m going to spend more money and go with the bilstein 5100 lift.

    Wish me luck fellas, with 90,000 miles I figured it was time to upgrade over all! I’ll post a pic once it’s done!

    Removed some stuff, added some stuff.
    Absolutely not. I’d buy the parts and spend the afternoon doing it myself. Only takes a few hours. Basic tools and a YouTube video will get the job done.

    I thought about it but just went with the kit for now. Bump stops are a great idea though

    I have read wheelers are good for the price. There are others like sumo, timbren, etc they are a bit higher in price though.

    I did 5100/5125/Icon option 2. Brought the front up 2" and the rear 3" but it was sagging a bit due to the topper. Probably not the best picture, but I have a bit of rake still and can haul my camping gear with butt sagging. Also did ubolt flip and kept my sumo springs even though they probably don't contact much.

    Ride is great. Pretty similar to stock but a bit better on bumps and corners.
