Just confirming before purchasing...

hey guys I'm about to bite the bullet and buy this kit from toytec:

http://toyteclifts.3dcartstores.com/BK0510--Bilstein-Adjustable-lift-kit-with-5100-shocks_p_132.html

I plan to run them on my 2015 DCSB at 2.5" (no top plate) in the front with the 2" AAL in the rear with a set of 265/75R16 General Grabber AT2s. I know I can fit those tires stock but I'm also looking to improve ride quality a bit and raise the look of the truck. Does anyone have anything I should know before buying? Is this a solid kit or am I missing something? I originally was planning on an OME kit but after seeing the fitment issues on 2015's I opted to not bother.

 

Do you have any future plans to haul heavy loads? If so, I'd swap out the OEM leaf pack rather than just going with the AAL. If this is not a concern, then do the leaf packs at a later time

 

Or before you purchase - call Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road and see what the price difference would be for everything but ditch the single AAL and ask for the 3 leaf progressive. My guess is the difference is negligible, and you'll be happy you did.

Edit* also get the 1/4" spacer for the driver side lean. I did this later on, cost me an extra $30 for the spacer and $60 for labor. With 2.5" up front, you're going to lean.

 

It's included in the kit.

 

+1 for the 3 leaf progressive pack.

 

Looks like a good kit, you'll be happy with that set up. One thing to keep in mind is the replacement of the needle bearing after you install the lift. Some trucks develop the front end "noise" right away, others it takes some time, some not at all. Should be another 300 bucks if you have some one install for you, or save 150 and do it yourself. Lots of info on TW!!!

 

I have this exact kit but I had them keep the billies set at stock. I'm running right at 1.7" of lift all around with the single AAL. Truck is level with the canopy and the ride quality is fantastic. I also pulled the front sway bar. The Eibach springs really made the ride a lot firmer, in a good way. The stock springs are really soft.

I will say I'm pretty sure I'll be needing a whole new leaf pack soon. My canopy sagged my rear a lot more than I thought it did and my truck came stock with a 3+1 pack.
