I put cargo coils in my 93' 4x2 ext cab SB about 2 months ago. Leveled it right out, matter of fact it's about an inch higher in front than in the back. Feel like I'm in a Super Duty now. Rides nice too.

I believe that the guys thay raise the front will have problems in the future. It may be the boots on the rack and pinion , tire wear, ball joints, etc. The geometry is just not right. The best alternative is lower the rear with shackles or remove the spring spacer. It looks great. HAVE A GREAT DAY, FISHEAD

I believe that "us people" that level the front of our trucks, that we will not have any problems in the future. It depends on what kit you buy if you ask me. I got the autospring 1 5/8" leveling kit, and I love it. It looks great, and rides great, the tire wear will not be an issue, as I had an alignment done, the boots on the rack and pinion will be just fine, but the only thing I think could have shorter life would be the ball joints, and that is it. But anyway, only time will tell, and those of us with the leveling kits will be sure to let everyone know!
