Default leveling kit installed

Got home from work a little early today so finally installed the Teraflex leveling kit. Very simple install.

The whole thing took about 2.2 hours by myself. The factory scissor jack was a huge help in spreading the axles from the body to get the springs with the added spacers back in. Nice kit and nice instructions from Teraflex.

33s go on in the morning and pictures will follow.

Now its time for .

I was reading up on the kit and the description said you might need some spacers to run the original wheels any truth to it.

Not to run factor wheels AND TIRES. If you run larger and wider tires on the factory wheels then spacers are needed.

Like stated above, you don't 'need' the spacers with stock wheels and tires but i put some on anyway just to give it a more aggressive stance and it looks and drives great. It feels just like the stock ride but looks a million times better!

Nice write up. Your rig looks great, thanks for the info about the spacers with this leveling kit. I've been researching what type of lift I want so this info. helps. Thanks.
