Leveling kits

What type of leveling kits has anybody used? I'm thinking about getting the 2” front add a leaf kit.

I guess what I did with mine is more than a levelling kit .

The previous owner had an extra 2 inch block installed in the rear which made the truck sit way too high in the rear . I was debating for awhile about taking the extra blocks out of the rear but then decided to buy a 3 inch lift kit with new shocks from Skyjacker . Then I had to buy an adjustable track bar to bring the front axle back under the truck to stop the dog tracking .

When all was done , it raised the front about 2.5 inches in the front and now it looks a whole lot better .

These are what I ordered for my truck, I never installed them though so I can't really give you a review.

I have the shackles that Izzy posted and they work fine.

I did the mini spring pack from Icon and 2" over stock block in the rear. Upgraded the shocks while I was at it. I've had it for a couple of years and would eventually like to go with a 4" lift.
