2wd leveling kit- 99-03

Mts678 · Apr 12, 2014

I know there isn't many 2wd's out there. For the ones out there though- what kit did y'all order for a leveling kit? These trucks stock sit with a serious rake that needs to go! The rear is about 5" higher than the front. I have some 1" djm drop shackles I haven't installed yet, but it will still have a big rake unless I bring the front end up higher or get the drop rear hangers. And I think is rather go up in the front.

Coil spacers off eBay. I still had a rake though.

Ok cool. I ordered the poly kind. I have djm drop shackles that give it 1-2 inches that should level it pretty close then

I changed the hangers with DJM hangers....

I got the aluminum 2" coil spacers from summit engendering of eBay.. I'm going to look into the djm drop hanger..

That will be next if I think it needs to come down, I want a slight take, very slight- so when I have some weight in the bed it's not sagging. But I plan to get some firestone air bags later down the road at some point.

Did y'all have to use the longer shocks or will the oem length work fine?

Mts678 · Apr 21, 2014

I've heard that the stock shocks will work just fine. I haven't installed mine yet, I was wondering if it's a good idea to replace ball joints at the same time?

Did y'all have to grind the I-beam?

I did a 2" spacer. Stock shocks work but will be at max extension if you jack up front end (to change tires or whatever). I will get pics of the entire setup later
