Leveling System question

[pastor scott.com]

I just recieved my new Performance Products Catalog. They have an add for a leveling system by Ready Lift, it gives you new keys and shock extentions. Says it retains factory ride and installs in 30 min. Anyone try this system ?

its $229 for a 2000 to 06 Chevy truck or burb

Do you have any pics of the parts?......also, I would be concerned about the angle of the CV shafts.......sounds like this leveling kit is going to really lift the front end up........just assuming this because it comes with shock extensions......

I've seen a similar kit (the one I saw actually had longer shocks) and that's exactly what it does- lift the front end. As far as CV shaft angles go, this is not much different than cranking the torsion bars. I haven't heard any feedback from anyone about this type of kit yet, but I can't imagine it being worse than cranking the torsion bars alone, except in the hit to the wallet.

All this Kit does it life the frt about 1 1/2 inches to let the truck sit level. My Burn sags in the frt . I have no pics but it just contains new keys for torsion bars and shock extentions.

Buy ford keys and longer shocks, save about 150$

This is actually a little more money, but I like the shock replacement instead of the extension. Haven't tried it yet, but its on the agenda for this year.

Those are the exact kits I'd seen. They were listed in a new products section of an off road magazine a few months back. (Both the 4 shock kit and the front-only kit).

Although Offroad Unlimited says their kits won't harm your drivetrain, I'm still concerned about the CV joints. I really don't know the actual degree of angle, but adding another 1-1/2" of height is a lot of angle. I max'd out my bars once on my '05 EC Z-71 and road around town for a week with no problems. The first time I got on the interstate and hit about 65 MPH, it sounded like the front end was going to fly apart. I went back home and dropped the front end about 1/2" and the noise went away. It could have just been a fluke.

Mine are cranked up about 1.25" and no problems here. Factory shocks also. No notible noises neither. I'd consider putting that kit on mine when I need to put shocks all the way around on mine.
