2" leveling kit

Has anyone had experience with the 2" leveling kit from Summit Engineering? It looks like a 2" aluminum hockey puck that installs under the spring on top of the front axle.

I have a 2005 CC LB 6.0 that I am wanting to level out.

Do you have a link? I went with ready lift. You may need new shocks for the front to add length of travel. The kit I used is steel and has rubber bushing and mounts on top of spring. But same principle

I used the same Ready Lift as Raptor. Works great and it also came with shock extenders.

They must have come out with those after I bought mine. I had to buy longer front shocks! Lol

I am not familiar with these, but I installed the Zone Offroad 1" leveling "pucks".

Whether you go with 1" or 2", they install fairly easily and should do fine for you.

The 1" is all my truck needed and gives it the stance I prefer.

However I think I hear of more people purchasing the 2" spacers that you happen to be looking at.

Look at you truck on level ground.
Some 2" kits can give the back end of the truck
a tail down look.

To fix that you have to change the rear blocks and make sure
that you get the right type. I now have a set of 5" tapered blocks
I can't use with my truck.

If I remember correctly or at least with the kit I bought if you have a F-250 you change the rear blocks and on a F-350 you do not have to. Do not remember where I read or someone told me but that is what I remember.
