Hey got a new truck a few months ago and wanted to put 285 on the truck and wanted to level my truck wondering if anyone has ever used Suspension MAXX Cam 2 Leveling Kit...... It seems good but don't want to mess with the torsion bars and affecting the drive.. thanks for any help

All the 'leveling kit' is, is re-indexed torsion keys which allow you to crank the hell out of the torsion bars. If you go much over an inch, your ride really starts to suffer (I'm at 1.5" crank right now, and it's pretty stiff). And if you go over 1.5", you'll wear through suspension/steering components like crazy (pitman/idler arms, ball joints, tie rod ends, etc.). If these parts fail, well, it ain't good.

If you want to fit 285s, I would just crank the stock keys 1"-1.5", and get an alignment.
