Just ordered a Kryptonite Stage 3 2"level

[dieselfan1]

Also got a Ready Lift 1" block for the rear.

Seems like a solid setup. Comes with new keys, Kryptonite UCAs with replaceable ball joints and all four Fox 2.0 shocks. 

Anyone running this setup?

I tow a travel trailer and a cargo trailer so I think this will be perfect with my 35x11.50R20 Nitto Terra Grappler G3s.

Looks like a good kit! I am looking to do something similar soon! Looking forward to hearing your feedback and seeing some pics

[dieselfan1]

My 26 3500HD rides a little better than stock with this setup.

I highly recommend. 

I'll get some pics later it's raining

It sure looks taller now and with only a 2" kit!

 

How is the level now with the changes. Do you still have some rake? 

 

Any chance of a side view picture? 

 

How would you compare the Fox shocks to the Z71 Ranchos?

[dieselfan1]

Still has a little rake.

It don't bounce around as much with the Fox shocks.

It's definitely an improvement. 

I towed my cargo trailer today and I noticed the difference right away.

I'll get some better pics tomorrow it was a crappy day today

How new is the truck? changing out the suspension this early must mean that you didn't care for the Z71 kit that they gave you?

This is my 23rd Chevy truck. Im 63 and used the crap out of them being a carpeter. The last few trucks I've had were just my daily no tool hauling. I know my way around these trucks and all the issues.

I picked it up end of September. There is 2000 miles on it now.

I knew when I bought it i was either going to lift it or level it.

Thats what I do.

 

Since i may get a fifth wheel i just leveled it.

I knew going in the Ranchos weren't the best. So anything is an improvement. 

I saw this Kryptonite Stage 3 kit and it was a no brainer. Thought about the Fox 2.5s but settled on the 2.0s

I've had Kryptonite parts on trucks in the past and they were solid never an issue.

What is your truck? 2500,3500?

Witch truck is yours?  They both look good.    

Sorry must be the lighting.

Mine is a 3500 Duramax. Has about 30k miles now. I bought it about 1 year ago and have found that the rebound is non existent with the Ranchos. Makes for an interesting highway drive!

 

I am hoping to make a decision on my level soon!

That looks nice. How much what that kit?

Thanks Pryme.

The kit is around $1500 US

1" block & bolts was $200 US

I had my buddy at 

On The Rocks 4x4 do the install $800 in including the alignment 

So $2500 all said and done.

Worth it.
