    2" Front Leveling Kit

    I'm looking to get my front end level with the rear. It's a 2004 ECSB. There are a few brands that all say "they are the best." The brands I'm looking @ are Tuff Country, Daystar, and Readylift. Any info would be much appreciated.

    Thanks

    You just want to raise just the front end? I would just turn the stock keys. They will probably go level. Those kits are just new keys that have a little more turn to them. Just turn the keys up even on each side to where you like it. Its usually not a good idea to raise anymore than 1.5 to 2in. It will stiffen your ride somewhat, and pay attention to your cv axle angle. If it's too steep you'll run into problems down the road.

    My truck is 2WD and has coilovers, not torsion keys. The kit consists of (2) 2 inch spacers that go under the springs.

    I had thought about that, but I live and work in a rural area and it really wouldn't fit in around here. LOL! That, and my driveway resembles what some might call a ski slope and I would hate to have the a** end or exhaust scrape the ground everytime I pulled in or out.

    i'd go with some 2" coil spacers and a set of 265/70s

    I'm getting new tires tomorrow. 255-70/R16's. Think 265's would be a little better? Right now I just have 235-75/R16's

    i think 265/70s are about 31-31.5", if you're going to do coil spacers i would go ahead and get the 265s now. they llok fine on a stock height truck and will look even better once you do the 2" lift.

    a little taller, but here's a pic of my 2WD on 4" spindles and 265-70-16s:

    Might have to do that. So....what is the difference between Daystars and Readylift's? They look the same but there is a $100.00 difference between the two. Is one better quality than the other.
