3" Leveling Kit Installed

Yesterday I installed the 3" Leveling kit from Fat Bob's Garage. It isn't quite 3", but makes the truck look level. The front is actually 1/4" higher than the rear. Can't post photos yet so here is a link to photobucket if anyone wants to see here. New tires to come very soon and fill the wheel wells up a little better.

Gator, I am interested in where you got the width skinny tool box. Everyone I looked at was made for mid-size trucks. I am looking for one like yours that doesn't take up much beds space (width wise).

I bought it off the side of the road in a farm community in the north western part of Florida. It was a scratch and dent item from Better Built, which is located out of Pensacola, FL. To my understanding, they are the only ones with the narrow in black for the full size trucks.

Thanks for all the responses.

And if anyone was wondering, I can still fit my 06 Honda Fourtrax 500 4x4 and 04 Suzuki gs500 motorcycle in the bed, just not at the same time.

Looks good. Those leveling kits are a must on these trucks.

just goes to show, every truck is different. I put a 2.5" kit in mine and the front is 3/4" lower than the back still. it came down a bit after the alignment, did you align yours yet?

I called Better Built and they said the stock them at Lowes. Checked Lowes website and they got em for $148. Not bad, though they don't have em in Black. I like the black one too. Nice Truck - Go Gators!
