Leveling Kit
I'm thinking of a 2" leveling kit for my 2012 SD, I did my last 08 PSD and needed a adjustable track bar to center the axle. Will I need to do the same on this truck? I currently installed F350 blocks and shocks on the rear and will put Air Lift bags on if I do the level.
Thanks in advance!

ya to center the axle you will need either a adjustable track bar or you will need a drop track bar bracket. also to keep everything else in line you will need the trailing arm drop brackets . i just bought the readylift sst level kit. has everything to keep
the front end in line . i got mine with the 5" rear blocks. shock extensions are only required if you go off road or longer shocks. i do believe they sell the kits with out the rear blocks . there called the f350 kit coz they have 4" blocks already, right now they will knock 10% off advertised price if you ask .so you should be able to get a kit for less than 400$

That's what I thought, I didn't think the would be any difference from the 08 front end. If I remember the track bar was around 450.00 from ICON and for that price I may go with a 3" suspension lift, but I'll research the SST.

Post up some pics....... I also have a 2012 CC 4x4 and want a little bit of lift.
I always get confused by how they call it a "leveling" kit. I have measured and my truck sits damn near level stock.
So would the kit you bought also be what I would use?
Thanks!

Its a 2.5 level kit with 4" block its the tow package with the 5" block the 5 wont be quite level slight rake. They make a 3.5 for the diesel if you wanna modify your exhaust slightly for the drive shaft. There web sight has all the diff kits

I have found that ICON makes a Stage 4 2.5" kit and has all of the necessary parts to keep everything correct but it will cost around 3,000 just in parts, you get what you pay for!

I understand I think the shocks they offer in the kit are what makes it expensive , I would only want to do this so I can gain more clearance when I have tire chains on for hunting but that is only one week out of the year plus it looks good.
