whats the difference.........a spring is a spring. Mine didn't come close to going in with everything unbolted and at full droop. if my trac bar was still bolted up the spring would never have gone in.

I think with 2.5" your truck would sit nose up, even more so with a trailer. But OTOH 2.5" will decrease your chances of clearance problems with 35s. If it were me and I was going with 2.5", I would do something to the back end to raise it a bit, maybe a 1 or 2" AAL.

The difference is I would rather have no pressure on the spring, then a compressed spring, just waiting to shoot across the garage and blow a big hole in the wall or worse. Don't get me wrong I have used them. In some applications it is unavoidable, but our trucks are not one of those situations, I have installed 15 leveling kits on 2nd and 3rd gens 1500-3500, and have never had a problem getting the springs back in, without a compressor.

Technically a 3" front leveling kit, nothing done in back, added a lot of shocks and stabilizers since then, tires are in sig, I love the look, but rubs barely when I turn full lock to lock
