Hi everybody.... Looking to do a 2.5" front and 1" rear lift/level. Just wondering what the differance on the front is between the kits that go on top of the strut and the ones that go below the strut. Any benefit to one or the other? (Ride quality, install ease, etc.) Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!

The lower ones usually only are 1-2", the top ones are anywhere from 1-3". So I would just do the top 2.5" so you don't have to do top and bottom. No real benefit to one verses the other.

No problem, also I wouldn't go more than 2.5'' without switching control arms else you'll reak havoc on your front end.

the lower ones are a shit ton easier to install and by shit ton I mean you dont have to tear out the strut assembly.
