Bilstein 2" leveling kit
Has anyone installed a Bilstein 2" leveling kit? Good kit? How did the truck sit? How was the install? I hate the way my truck sits. I had a set of Bilsteins on my other truck and I loved them.

I just put one on mine last week. The shocks ride great, install was very easy. I was on a truck lift though so that helped, doing it in the driveway probably wouldn't be so fun. It only took about 20 minutes, all I had to undo were the shocks, sway links, and the brake line bracket. You will need some caster bushings when you are done, mine dropped to around .5 degrees. I wish it would have gone up a bit more, it cut the difference on my truck in half, but I suppose if it went up much more I would be wanting a trac bar which would add to the cost.

The Bilstein 2.25" is a good setup. Progressive rate coils, shocks valved specifically for the SD, etc.
The one thing I would add to the setup is caster cams, like what Icon includes in there 2.5" setup.
Also, an adjustable trac bar is a nice upgrade to keep the axle centered under the truck.
