Lifting issue

Howdy! i am trying to get my 2.5 leveling kit installed on my truck and I am coming across a few issues. The offroad shop that is going to install the kit has told me that i will have to have new "adjustable " lower control arms in order to keep the alignment correct. This is because I have a 2wd 2500 and not the 4wd.... Any ideas??? I really want to get the truck up in the air some...

It is probably a good idea to get them if you want the geometry to stay correct and cause less problems down the road.

You do not have to, but what they are talking about is gettong longer control arms so you can recenter the axle in the wheel well. When you lift the truck it causes the control arms to swing down, thus making the axle move towards the rear of the truck. Depending on tire size, you can experiance rubbing.
