Not much to it. I have a 2" Skyjacker on mine (07 Sierra). It needs to be re-aligned after your finished to get the smooth ride back. You might want to browse through this site before you make up your mind though. Especially the thread about the ball joints being trashed. Also take a look at Bilstien shocks before you make your final decision.

Do a search. After all the post on this one I decided to leave mine alone, I do think they look 100% better with a 2 inch lift just don t want to deal the potential issues.

So with the 2" lift how much faster will the ball joints be cooked?

i did a two inch lower shackle to level mine. no ball joint concerns or alignment issues to deal with. the kit cost me 60 bux. and it took me about an hour and a half to install. rides nicer and handles better than stock. just another suggestion.

Im looking at buying the skyjacker kit. Did you have to do any grinding on the 3 strut studs? Also did you have to swap the strut assembly (driverside to passenger side and passenger to driverside? I've seen some kits where that is required. How much $$$. Any added info or heads up you have will be very appreciated. Thanks.

I believe I did have to do a little grinding, but not too much. I did'nt have to swap anything. It all went together very easy. The only problem I had was that the new nuts were not in the package. I don't have many metric nuts laying around the house so I had to go to town and pick some up. They did offer to overnight some but I was in a hurry to get it put back together. I believe I paid about $100 for the kit. I think the trucks look 100 times better when leveled, but I may have looked into it a little deeper had I realized the potential problems. We'll just have to wait and see if there are any problems. If there are hopefully the payoff is worth it.
