I've got the Daystar kit and am satisfied with it. As far as installation, I can't comment as I had it put in at my local truck acc. shop.

I would get a Lorenz or Kore or similar kit that comes with springs,shocks and drop blocks for your sway bar. I am running the Lorenz with great results and install is not bad. Allow your self about 2 to 3 hrs.

Do you have the 6% or 23% springs? How much more stiff is the ride than stock on the lorenz around town?

I've got Sean's 2.25 kit w/23% coils. My camper's on all the time. Ride is compliant,and perfect for my application. I would think the 6% coils would be best for the average owner. Contact Lorenz for his suggestion.

I'm running 6% and ride is like stock until you hit a big bump. The Bilstiens handle bumps much better.

Just installed a leveling kit from Top Gun Customz. $86 shipped to my door, great quality product!! It took about an 1 1/2 hour to install. I did have to "borrow" a set of spring compressors from the local Advance Auto Parts to put the springs back into the buckets. I already had 315's on it ; made my truck look much better.

I don't think it matters which one you buy. I've never heard of anyone crushing a plastic one or any trouble. None of them do anything to adjust steering and suspension geometry, even the really expensive coils. I had a set of top gunz as well, they were fine. Easy to install.
