Hey im getting a 1-3 inch leveling kit from ready lift, should i do it or have my local spring shop put it on also what are those brakets that it comes with?? Thanks for the help guys

the brackets are the shock extenders...when you crank the torsion bars you will need a longer shock or the extenders if you plan on using stock height shocks.

The only things you will really need to install it yourself is the torsion bar unloading tool.

I bought one for like 40 bucks on ebay....looks a strangely shaped clamp.

A hammer and something skinny to knock loose thetorsion bars cause more than likely they will have some rust on them.

a couple smaller sockets and some PB blaster or WD40

A local shop is putting on my keys and installing new shocks (Which I already have) for $75.00. I'm just dropping off my truck before work and I will pick it up before lunch. Much easier if your crushed for time.

Seeing how rough the stock shocks ride you would be happier if you bought new ones. I'm a big fan of skyjacker nitro shocks and bilisteins are great too from what i hear. If you are on a budget use the extension mounts you have now with the stock ones. But if you want a better ride get new, longer ones:rockin

Not to jump into the thread but I'm doin the same thing. I would like to get a set of bilsteins is there a certain size or model number to get for the level kit 2-3" lift? And all they around?
