Has anyone noticed a drastic change in fuel millage after installing a 3/1 leveling kit and bigger tires? I know some loss is to be expected due to more rolling mass, wind resistance...
Bilsteins are on sale until the end of the month.....
Do you have a link? or should we go straight to the Bilsteins website?

I too am wanting to level out my truck, and put a little bit bigger tires on it! I have been looking around and found these to be some of the most reasonably price leveling kits out there. They are not Plyurethane bushings either...They are laser cut, precision welded steal brackets.
Does anyone else have another lower priced brand to go with that is good? I looked at rockymountainusp.com aswell and they have some decent deals from several companys but honestly more than I'm looking to spend.

I dont think the lift is one of the things I would be too chinchy on. That being said, I am going to go with the LowRangeOffroad Kit within the next couple months. Havent read a complaint on it yet. I wish i could afford a ProComp Lift but 6in and 35's might be a lil hard to get a carseat in and out of anyway! And for me it will be pretty much all show, no offroad.

No problem man, thanks for the link, I added it to my favorites just in case!
On the other hand, I did have another question and another website found with I would say the best price for 3" leveling kits! The website is fatbobsgarage.com, heres the link for the 02 Tundra 3" Anodized Aluminum Spacer Kit - $102.00 shipped!
My question is tho, and its something I either have not looked hard enough or just can't seem to find in plain english....I have a completely stock 02 Tundra SR5 V8 2WD that I want to level out with the rear....I have seen leveling kits anywhere from 1.25" - 3" in spacer kits. Well which one do I need to achieve the perfect level?
I dont know what the difference inch wise is from the front to the rear, So I am not sure how high I need to come up. Thanks again for any help!
Not sure what the height measurements are for your gen, but I'm shooting for 2.5/1. I was going to go with the Low-Range Off Road kits, as they looked like the best constructed and thought out. HOwever, I ended up with the 5100's front and rear given they were on sale.
ALthough the 5100s are good, the rears are not adjustable, so now I'm shopping for the diff drop kit and 1" rear block. I'm leaning towards the Low Range Off Road pieces, but am looking for the best parts/value. You may want to look at the fat bob's garage parts closely. I looks at them and they did not look like they were zinc coated or anodized. I don't know anything about them, it's just an observation.

Let me tell you, I wish I had the money to go with the 5100's! As I stand right now I have tallied up everything I plan to do this weekend shipping & tax included and I am sitting at about $1059.00 not including the possiblity of needing a front end alignment. As of right now I only have $950, and I dont get paid until next week sometime. Make a long story short, I'm pinching pennies and only have a limited time to do all this in. I have to go up to kerrville to do the work (4 1/2 hr drive) cause my father has all the tools needed and he's a damn good mechanic. So I guess right now to achieve what I want my best option is to go with the leveling kit.
A full set of Bilstein 5100's only cost me $236 delivered to my front door. The diff drop will be around $30 and the 1" rear block (with U-Bolts) runs btwn $80-120, depending on what brand I decide on. Besides installation, which I might be able to do myself I only have the alignment to do...... I've heard the front spring/shock set takes a bit of prying to get in/out, but other than that, I've not heard anything terribly difficult involved with the install.
