    I'm guessing this is the same thing as the Headstrong one that is currently sold out? I don't plan on doing anything to the rear.....just the front to level it up.....

    Lots of threads on 2" levelling kits... which don't level they give the bro lean on the 3rd gens. We are looking for 1/2" spacer feedback which gives 1" lift, make the truck actually level... and doesnt require doing the EGCS or an alignment. That is one heck of a price tho.

    He asked what I used, I posted the link.

    1. They'll all require an alignment.
    2. Not all 3rd gens sit the same, mine was closer to 2'' lower up front than 1'' so I went a bit taller instead of .5'' low.

    ^ it is cheap for a reason. Buy a good quality top mount one, spend the $75 -$80. Do not go higher than a 1/2. I did not need alignment after I did mine. Have 25K ++ miles on the set-up and the tires. Tire Wear is fine, no shimmies/shakes, rides great.
    Anyone is welcome to send me a PM if you have questions I can help with.

    Cut and paste from my previous post

    "This left me with 2 options. A 1/4 inch spacer up front or a 3/4 inch spacer up front and a 1" rear block

    I took a Jack to lift up the front 1/2 an inch and was like "NAH"

    I went with option 2."

    3/4 inch spacer

    This is new to me.

    I searched high and low for a black colered spacer and only came up with a 1.5" lift 3/4 inch spacer.

    For those of you who do not want to dick around with a ECGS bushing just go with 1.5" lift up front or less. I have zero problems. going 2" is a gamble. some say its fine while others say it cant hold a straight line causing them to have to buy control arms. I did not want control arms or a front bushing.

    1.5" up front and 1" in the rear looks pretty level to me. Leaves me with 1" of rake....loaded rear seat and bed on a recent trip and still no bro lean.

    Did you have to swap for longer studs or were stock ones long enough?

    Big job to swap the studs if so?

    Comes with new longer studs. Look at link i posted above in this thread, I am sure every kit is different though. Did this install over 2 years ago now with a buddy in his garage, took 4-5 hours ish
