1. less than 200 to buy installation depends.
2. 500 pounds isn't anything.
3. something about lower bumpers for govt. regulations. maybe they get breaks for complying.
4. it looks better and you can fit bigger wheels.
5. some of these trucks are already sensitive to vibrations so you might not want to screw with it right away. non metal setups can squeek. if you stay with the bigger name guys you should be fine.

daystars probably the most popular. but some of the billet aluminium ones are getting there i think they are the revtech ones i cant remember. do a search on leveling kit and you will get atleast a hundred pages of info.
