Bilstien Leveling Kit

Hey all,

I finally installed my 2" leveling kit and did an alignment, as soon as I can talk myself into going back out in the cold I will take some Pics for you.

The Gallery has been updated, wouldnt let me create a new one though. Hope everyone likes it...I do. Now I need to get some new tires for the extra room. Anyone have any ideas??? I have the factory 20" wheels and I would like to keep them.
