Has anyone used this leveling kit? Thoughts?

My wheels are off to the powdercoater and I want to add the 2" leveling kit to my truck. Here's the link. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...5713318&rd=1,1

Has anyone used these? Is the install fairly simple? Any thoughts are much appreciated.

I had it in a 3" lift kit in my 99 Dodge. I now have a set of 2" for my '03 but haven't put them in. So I guess for having them twice they are pretty good. Very strong and you maintain your factory ride quality. Just get it aligned after you put them in because it does change things up a bit.

I bought my 2" leveling kit online form Hell Bent Steel Inc. Great kit, good instructions, and less than 89 bucks. I think i Paid 75 with shipping. Be sure to have a spring compressor on hand, or borrow/rent one from auto zone, those springs are hard to compress.

Wel I didn't say it was good quality. Just that the same quality was maintained. I prefer a stiff ride in my truck so I don't feel like I'm slopping all over the place when I hit bumps.

I bought that exact kit and for the price you can't beat it. Install went very smooth. While I was at it I installed new shocks. I bought shocks that were 2" longer also in case I choose to add a bit more lift down the line.
I know this isn't the best pic of what you were looking for but it shows that the truck is very level, which is what I was looking for.

ps. guys, how do I post a pic that its not a thumbnail. I only know how to attach a thumbnail....

i bought a set of skyjacker springs with 2in of lift for $150, i'm not a big fan of spacers. you don't need a spring compressor just lift the truck and let the suspension extend fullt then you can just pull them out
