That's what I thought. I'll go one rung down to start. I don't want to be rolling around looking like I have a fat chick in the back...

HA! HA! HA! HA!

No offense to anyone but nothing looks stranger then a truck that looks like it is about to blast off!

Around here guys laugh at *** dragers. SLIGHT rake is beautiful in level truck.

This is why I want to see more then one crewmax pic, cause I'm paying to have it done and don't want block in back to compensate.

If your are just leveling the front, then just slap some Airlifts on the back and you can adjust it all you want. I keep about 15#'s in mine to give the truck a slight rake. I can't tell any difference in the ride.

Can someone compare the ride of this Bilstein strut lift kit to a coilover lift?

what tools would I need to install this lift myself? Do you need a coil spring compresser, and if so what kind. Thanks

Can you adjust the height after installed? Of course, I think you will need an alignment after any adjustments.

Is there a special place at 4wheelparts.com to find these shock? I went to there site and the adjustables are not listed. Is there another place to buy them?

I just got off of the phone with them - hoping to order and take advantage of the 15% weekend discount. I got NOWHERE with the guy on the phone. I gave them the Bilstein part numbers from Bilstein which didn't help.

I indicated that others had successfully ordered them and he said "there was nothing else that he could do".

I guess Wheeler's will be getting my business when I'm ready.

Ask for mike at x5466. He was able to get them fine for me with the part numbers. The price was $89 for front and $79 for the rear at the end of Aug.

Thanks mhollack. Voodoodan thats a good price I hope that price was each and not for the pair. I looked at Wheelers off road and they had them listed and the ebay sale was cheaper. Sounds like I might have got ripped off if so. Oh well. Very happy now
