2" leveling kit problems?

Has any one had any problems when they were putting on or after putting on a leveling kit? i have one for my 96 but when i was looking at it to put it on, it looks like once i get it on the axle is going to shift back a little bit since the kit didn't come with longer control arms. and will the axle get shifted to the left or right at all? and did anyone have any problems with deth wobble because of the hard angle on the track bar?

and one more thing. Has any one added a leaf to the rear? if so are the factory u-bolts long enough to add a 2" leaf?

a leveling kit will move the axle rearward and out to the drivers side a bit. And yes, chances are high that you will get death wobble unless you take it in for an alignment to reset the caster angle that you just threw all out of whack!

no....

You need an adjustable trac bar so you can lengthen it and push the axle back out to the passenger side

the diff usually sticks out a hair to one side already, not that noticable. With the leveling kit, its going to stick out even more. But, unless your really looking for it, you probably wont notice
