Question as to placement, from what I have seen and read these two filters seem to go in the same place...passenger side of the radiator. (There is not alot of free space in this area, not like on my 66 F250)
Coolant bypass filter?
Oil bypass filter?
and who makes the best product for each application. TIA
Check out the Dieselsite website. There is also installation instructions with some pix.
Exactly what texans said....only I had to add another leaf in the back as well because my factory springs had sagged a bit. I think most who put in the levelling kit end up doing this as well or replacing the spring block to a taller one for the same reason. The spring that I added in the read fits in the leaf pack 3rd from the top, to re-curve the OEM spring pack. It doesn't stiffin the back at all and I've never been a fan of tall spring blocks.
o ok cool. If I got just a plain lift, would it just lift it unevenly like it is now, or can you lift it and level it at the same time? Also how much would parts+labor run usually for the leveling kit?

Most of the quality lifts will also level your rig as well. As for cost, keep in mind that this is Canadian bucks. The front cost was about $800.00 and the add-a-leaf kit for the back was about $180.00. I did the work myself with a little help wrestling in and out the big parts. For tools you would need some big sockets and wrenches. A few jack stands in the 3 ton range, a couple of floor jacks and a whole load of big "C" clamps. It was a good project to exercise the patience.

Yea i would have to probably get it done some where due to lack of tools and time on the weekends. I believed you said the front leveling kit would add about 2 inches to the front?

What year is your SD, 05 or new you'd have coil springs instead of leafs like mine. That kit is cheaper and much easier to install.
ah darn, yea mine is an 04, looks like mine will be a grand haha
I don't know what your labour rates are there, but here if you are paying someone to do the work; it pretty much doubles the price. That's why I did it myself. It's not a real difficult project. Just time consuming and everything is just large and heavy.
Besides.....never miss an excuse to tell the wife why I bought some new tools
