To the folks who are interested, and to give you an idea of the end result, here's a pic of my rig with Tony's 2 inch leveling kit. I did however lower the front 1.5 inches as I felt the truck had a bit of Cali lean with only the 2 inch leveling kit being installed.

A little too much disparity between the front and back now with the front lowered that much, I'd say. But as long as you're happy with it... (And it still beats the stock look.)

You wouldn't by chance have any pics with just the 2" rear level kit from Tony would you. I'm wanting to do this but I'm curious about how bad the Cali lean is.

Sorry man I don't have any pics of only the 2" rear kit installed. But I will tell you that my kit is static at 2" and cannot be adjusted (I'm non autoride) as tony's autoride kit is. With that said the cali lean was not due to the leveling kit itself but was due to the shape of the rear window. For some reason the shape of the window makes it APPEAR as if there is some minor cali lean.

Thanks for the info.

Back only looks like its leaning. Looks bad. Imo

You will eventually do the front if you only do the back to start with.

Been there done that. Lol

That's what I was wondering about. I didn't know if I need to go ahead and order parts to drop the front at the same time. I need to find some time and call Tony and discuss it with him.

I used mcgaughys relocation brackets set at 1.5 for the front and Tony's beltech springs on the back. Rides excellent.
