Leveling Kit
I put one on and I love it. It raised the front 2.5 in. Only one problem. When I put the 5th wheel on the rear it squats the rear about 2-3 inches and makes it feel like the tail is wagging the dog. Now I have to get air bags for the rear to keep it level with a load.
Can anyone suggest a good air bag system?

>Thanks for the help. How hard are the kits to put on?
Hanger and shackle kits invove swapping out your stock hangers and shackles with the longer ones in the kit. Swap out the stock shocks with the new ones in the kit. It is an easy kit to do for the average DIY.
How
>much do the kits usually cost?
Edge is the most expensive at around $670 I think
Fabtech also makes a good kit for somewhere around $540 if I'm not mistaken but I could be wrong.
Hope this helps.
