i am really thinking hard about a 2" leveling kit for my 06.i just want the best kit out there and dont want to make a costly mistake with having issues. i read that it is a 50/50 that it will be fine or crap.i want to replace the shocks also,so anybody have a suggestion on how i should level this thing out or just leave it alone until i can afford a lift kit???? i just hate the nose dive look. thanks for any input.

The Daystar kit is pretty simple. Whatever you do, stick with a 2" leveling setup to avoid potential CV issues. Some guys have had vibration problems with the 2.5" kits on their '06+ trucks. Or, you could save up for the KORE prerunner system. Expensive, but it kicks ass. thumb2

You'll get 1.0" - 2.5" from the Rancho Quicklift.
