    Hi, they sold it as 3" leveling kit, they measure 2" high. They believe is going to raise the truck 4" based on the factory control arms. Any truth in that, is not 4x4, this is all it came in the pack, don't I need the stopper extenders, and other stuff? Do I need to worry about the angle on the drive shaft? Basically is there anything I will break by adding this?

    Throw them on there and you are good to go with the level look.

    I'm not a fan of spacers.

    I have the firestone air bags on the back and they caused a front rake.

    Make sure to add a diff drop if you don't already have one. It'll help your cv angles

    No. You will need upper control arms and you will need bump stop extensions unless you want to risk bottoming out the shock and it collapsing. You will also need to lift the rear in another way besides the air lift. You will also probably need to extend your airbags with some spacers. Probably a good idea to get some daystar cradles for the bags so you don’t tare one upon articulation.Then you should probably get a carrier bearing drop to account for the lift in the back. If you want to level look with those spacers you will probably need to lift the rear end 2 inches in one way or another. If you don’t want to deal with any of that a cheaper route would actually just be to get a 2 inch lift in the front with some 5100s and be leveled and done. No upper control arms
