T-Rex leveling kit
Just wanted to know if anyone is running this kit??? I am considering the skyjacker coils and rancho 9000s for my truck but I ran across some chat on another site about this kit , it sounds awesome but very expensive $3600.00. Is really that much better if all I want is good highway manners and room for a little bigger tire?? thanks

Re:T-Rex leveling kit
I looked into it pretty well, it replaces your existing suspension with a much more compliant set of springs and custom tailored shocks..The shocks alone are 500.00 apiece..Your truck will ride alot better on and off the road..Not for towing however..It takes the overloads out of the rear, along with adding their spring pack, eliminates that buckboard ride our trucks have now..I spend alot of time in the dunes at Pismo beach, where stutter bumps form in the sand..you can supposedly drive across them at high speed with this suspension, and it will soak everything up like a motorcycle will..In theory, they have designed it like a dirt bikes suspension, with progressively wound springs and very high quality shocks that are designed to soak up all bumps then get stiffer...instead of just being stiff to begin with like our trucks..anybody who has driven across sand like I described knows what I'm talking about..it will bounce you out of the cab..Our stock suspension is waay too stiff..I'm going to have them install this suspension as soon as I can..But remember, its not for the heavy towing crowd.

Actually - the mini-leaf pack is not part of the suspension kit and can be purchased separately. Without the mini-leaf, you do not affect your towing ability. I don't tow much so I went for it. If I get to a point where I am towing heavy often, I'll add airbags on the rear.
T-Rex suspension is incredible. If at all possible, go for a ride and you will be sold.
