That is a gorgeous truck! I love the 2 tone silver and black, especially cause I'm a Raider fan.

Thanxs Snowr8r.

I have talked to a few shops today & 2 says that the 3" drop Pitman is not needed for a 2.5" lift.

???
anyone done this levelling kit without the pitman arm replacement or is it necessary?
sorry for asking the same ******* question.

thanxs
Colin

Thanxs Brad.
appreciate the info,
Pretty much what I was told also but needed to know what guys are actually doing.

Parts list I ordered,

~2.5" front lift
~Carrier Bearing Drop Kit
~Axle pivot brackets
~Spring eye & bushing kit

Is there anything else I need to do the lift?


Thanxs
Colin

AGAIN, You are NOT going to need the carrier bearing drop with anything less than 6" of lift
