    2" levelling kit
    Bought my truck about 6-7 months ago. I cant seem to keep the alignment. My mechanic tells me its the levelling kit that's stretching out my control arms (I think..sorry newb..) Im thinking to get rid of the levelling kit. Should I look into an actual lift? (3") Would I continue to have this problem? Good products? Thanks

    Welcome to TW, there's lots of info on here about lift's and lift kits. If you can post a picture of front and back people here would be able to tell you what kind of a lift you have on already. 3 inches of lift will affect alignment but I've never heard of a simple leveling kit changing things. Any idea how much lift is already on it?

    I would go with the 3" in your case. You will spend a little extra on getting new UCAs but they will solve the alignment issues your are experiencing and will continue to experience.

    Look at OME for the lift kit and @HeadStrong Off-Road for a vendor.
