Daystar 2.5" leveling kit

Anyone have any experience with these? Issues or good things or all these all pretty basic?

Also this may be a dumb question...

It's a 2.5" leveling kit but -- does overall height of the truck change from ground to top of cab clearance lights?

Thanks everyone!

I had the same leveling kit on my truck for a year with no problems, but you do need to get a pair of longer front shocks also.

It raises the entire front of your truck 2-1/2" so you cab lights will also be raised, but not that much, more like 1-1/2".
