That’s interesting! How’s the off-road capability now? Any significant difference?
Off-road? It’s a game changer! It glides over obstacles much better now with the leveling kit.

I love the look of my leveled truck! But I noticed my fuel economy dropped slightly.
I got mine aligned right after installation. No complaint so far, but keep an eye on it!

Does it affect the alignment much? I heard that leveling kits can create some issues there.
That’s unfortunate! Did you see any other trade-offs besides fuel economy?
Mainly just a firm ride. But honestly, I like how it handles corners better now.
I’ve got mixed feelings. The stance is awesome but the softness I enjoyed is gone.
Sometimes you have to sacrifice comfort for style! Still, would you recommend it?

Absolutely! Just be prepared for a little stiffness and keep ‘that rear end’ in check!
Stiffness? Should I be worried? Sounds like a trade-off for those cute pics of us flexing on trails!
Haha, you’ll be fine! Just don’t try to do ballet off-road! Your truck will thank you!
I’m thinking about installing a leveling kit on my Chevy! I’d love to see some before and after shots to help visualize the difference.
I did a leveling kit last summer, and the difference was huge! I’ll post my pics after this.
Installation was pretty straightforward for me, but the front struts took a little finesse. Anyone else have tips for the strut assembly?

Using a spring compressor made it much easier for me! Just be safe with it.
I’ve encountered some challenges with alignment after installation. What do you guys recommend for DIY alignment?

A lot of people use the string method or even a level. It can work pretty well if you’re careful.
I had no idea leveling kits could do this much! Can’t wait to see the pics, @scottandrew!
