If you are looking for the actual kit if the places listed are just installers, hellbent steel makes a really nice one. I think the 2 inch front level i got for mine was around 90 bucks (uninstalled).

I've got a hell bent steel level kit on my f150...I got the 3"... Don't get the 3". My trucks a 2wd and it was too much lift, I had to add blocks to the back and now my tires still don't wear quite right after 2 alignments. I'd go with the 2" or 2.5"

Good point. It is actually hard to find a 3" leveling kit for a 4x4. But 2.5" is the highest you should go on any truck.

I have zero dealings with Road Armor but I hear its a bitch. People complain that they buy directly from them and never get their bumper or it takes months. However, maybe going through a distributorship might be better. I know that they sell Iron Cross bumpers and everybody can get a Ranch Hand.

Any place that does front end alignments. Just call around and find the best price. It's a simple job and you'll need a front end alignment anyway

And btw stacy, all trucks are taller in the back than the front. That's how they're made

Check out Bodyguard bumpers. Their customer service is great. I've got one of their bumpers on my truck.

Lots of them on their website and even
Ore on their FB site. They are similar to road armor just not quite as extreme.

what kind of truck? i put a leveling kit on my F250. it is not hard to do, just time consuming


Its a 2006 dodge ram 4x4 with less than 50,000 miles bc it stays parked in the driveway all the time

He likely couldnt install it, guy doesnt know how to use a hammer, muchless install anything on a truck, FML

only one around lafayette is B and M

did mine for about 400 including alignment....which WILL need to be done after its installed.


I would definitely use them if I wasnt 2 hrs away. Used to be good friends with Bryce.

I kinda wanted to go somewheres that had it, or order it and install it, but I wanted it for christmas so Im kinda late. Ordering it could be an option now, and I may just get him a giftcard to one of those places for the install, what do yall think?


Do yall think any of these places will be open tomorrow? Its monday but its christmas eve as well, FML

If you've already bought it, just give it to him Christmas morning and tell him you'll get it out on ASAP.
