I was wondering why nobody had put him straight yet. Guess Fosters was having some fun as well.

i had similar air bags on my '02 s'crew 2wd for extra `capacity purposes. they worked awesome, and if you blew 'em up unloaded they'd stand the back end almost 2 inches extra.

nothing against lift kits...but for $70 (leveling kit) + $60 (alignment)...you can fit 35" tires on your stock rims.

leveling kits are alot cheaper and easier

those look neat, but the price and what it achieves compared to the levelling kit is a great governing factor. also, the warranty will be voided with a "lift" kit, no problems with the levelling kits. don't argue, i've already checked it out.
