I know this thread is 1 year old, but I just finished installing my Daystar 2" leveling kit. The finished height ended up being 3" in the front. The truck sits pretty level now. I had to get the camber kit installed in order to align properly, but I my alignment shop tells me I need I beam drop brackets to properly align. I can't seem to find just drop I beam brackets anywhere. Anyhow here's the before and after pics:

Wow, that leveling kit really changed the looks of your truck. Mirrors, paint and wheels look completely different.

Can't help any on your missing pieces, but I do remember reading about broken steering gear issues on the early 99 models. I don't remember if it was only with a lift, or if it included the leveling kit as well. Might be worth doing a little research to see if there's anything else you need to change before something breaks.

Semper Fi.

Thanks! Those two pics are 3 years apart, the most recent one is today. It's Herculined down the sides. I just swapped the mirrors out last week. I got tired of those POS paddles.

That looks pretty good for herculiner. Hope it holds up better than the stuff in my bed did.

What make and style wheels are those? My wife is looking for some black wheels to put on her truck.

I got a hell of a deal on those from Discount Tire. They're KMC HotWheels 20x8s.
