daystar leveling kit

[95C1500]

I plan on adding 3/4 ton leaf springs on my C1500. Someone said they might raise the rear 2'' or they might not. I want to go with Daystar 2.5" leveling kit but it requires afetrmarket control arms and new shocks. Does anyone run the Daystar 2.5" leveling kit? What control arms do I use? What shocks do I need?

Just crank your stock keys man, forget the leveling kit.

If he had a 4wd this would be the answer, but its 2wd so he's got coil springs haha. Unfortunately I know nothing about the 2wd's so I'm no help, hope you get it figured out!

it would be much better to go with lift spindles... you can get a set of 4in rough country spindles for about $300. coil spacers will change the geometry of the front end, you will always be fighting alignments and frontend parts wearing prematurely.

heres a pic, this truck has 4in spindles, 2in blocks in the rear, 1.5in wheel spacers in the rear and 32/12.5r15s

Would I need to purchase a steering stabilizer for this kit or would I be good to save $50 on one? I will be running 17x7.5 wheels. What tire size should I get?

 

[oohunter04oo]

i wouldn't run the stabilizer.. probably a good idea to replace all front end parts (balljoints, tre's, idler & pitman arms) and a lot of ppl run 33s with this kit. what rims are you planning on running?

 

[95C1500]

17x7.5
