Best Leveling kit out there

Sickboy774 · 01-17-2007, 03:55 PM

Hello everyone! I know this question has been asked several times before but...I am wondering which leveling kit people like the most. I bought one for my '97 gasser which was the black steel one. I have heard about and seen a couple of other styles out there. I am wondering, because of the heavier Diesel motor, if some are better suited for the cummins.

Seems KORE has a pretty good following here. I have no experience with the KORE kit, but people rave about it. Little $alty for me though.........

I have the tuff country kit which is the all steel one, works well and seems to be a very solid setup, these trucks are heavy in the front.

My vote goes to Kore. Springs, shocks, bump stops, and sway bar drop brackets, a well thought out kit. I figure you spent a lot on your truck, so why skimp on something like suspension, steering or brakes.

Couldnt agree more....Another vote for KORE here. No its not cheap, but like 'hemi' said, why spend all that money on a truck to put a cheap levelling kit on it. The ride and handling has been so much better with the KORE kit that I wont ever go without one again.

I am now very interested in the KORE CHASE setup to try and straighten out the rear end.

I have some friends here that have gone with just 2" blocks, and they have ridden in mine and the difference is quite unbelievable. There are some other kits out there that are styled similarily to KORE without the big price tag. You might want to check them out if KORE is not in your budget.

Good luck with it!

If you are not looking to spend alot of money I think the Daystar spacers are good I have put about five of them on myself and know of a ton more on trucks and have not seen any problems. They will run you about $150 give or take. If money is no option go with the Kore kit.

Yeah, I only have a 2wd, but I got some billet steel adjustable spacers for $159. Like 'em a lot

how much is this KORE kit? i tried looking on the internet but didn't see any prices.... maybe im just an idiot. After installing this kits you have to get the truck alignment done again?? Anyone got MPG numbers?

Kore runs about $650 i think and there is another one, Lorenz, there about $545. Still alot of money for a leveling kit.

yea thats a little steep... stock rides just fine to me. Plus my tax return isn't as much as i was hoping, I dunno if ill be able to afford 35's .. Well see but I aint gonna pay that much for a leveling kit, mines mostly for looks no serious offroading.....

Didn't see anyone mention the Skyjacker D25 replacement springs.
I know lots of guys that have them and really like them.

Probably what I would have done myself but I went with more lift then came back down to just leveled.....

Any cons about going to a 2" leveling kit? Ride? Rear end? Ect.?
