Anybody ever used this leveling lift kit?

[BEEMDUB]

I want to raise my truck, but want a little bit more than the ccm 2.5/1.5 level because my truck is already lower than stock (ppv suspension), I found this on ebay, any input?

It's strut spacers that's why it's so cheap but honestly I know nothing about lifts so can't help much.

ahh, are strut spacers bad?

I have no clue to be honest it seems bad to me.

hmm...does this one look better? Looks like it comes with more, I'm not to extremely knowledgeable about lifts/levels if you haven't noticed lol

Those are using both upper and lower strut spacers in the front. I have seen this done before but it causes really bad angles with your cv joints which is not good. I would recomment sticking with a max of 2.5" in the front from CCM unless you are going to do a full kit. In addition this would destroy your shocks, maxing them out like crazy.

I got the ccm kit and love it. 2.5 is as far as i would go with the front because of left over travel you'll have on your upper control arms. Only thing I did diff is ordered a 1.5 spacer for the back since the ccm kit i ordered had the 1''.

Btw, you getting bored with your tablet install yet?

did you get the 1.5 spacer from CCM or somewhere else?

and nope, just getting settled in

I got it from supreme suspension on ebay. Maybe I wasn't looking properly, but I didn't see any option for a 1.5 spacer on ccm's website. You may be able to call them and ask for a 1.5 instead of the 1'', and save yourself from having a spare spacer collecting dust.

Glad to see your diggin the install, my processor should arrive Monday.

I'm still debating on whether or not I want to install it on my own lol I've never worked on suspension before...I really want to but REALLY don't want to screw up somthin....I think I might just go with CCM I just am wondering if that will get me up to stock height or if I'll still look lower..

My front spacer is from ccm, only thing I did was buy a 1.5 spacer for the back. Shouldn't cost that much for the install. At least your truck will be already at the garage for an alignment. Personally, I like the look with the 1.5 spacer in the rear.

Just for additional info, below is my leveling setup:

Front - Truxxx 2.5" Adjustable Leveling Kit - 3 upper strut spacer plates (1/2" ea) and a lower strut mount spacer (1") So this kit is adjustable from, 1", 1.5", 2", 2.5"
Website has changed since I purchased, shows $227, which is pretty steep, I remember paying around $180... (link below)

Rear - BB 1.5" Coil Spacers and Shock Extenders - $68 on ebay (link below)
I like this particular rear kit because the shock extenders allow for the rear shocks to operate normal as if in stock position.

Anyway, not the cheapest route to go leveling wise, but I'm very happy with the stance with just a slight rake and ride quality is just like stock

It wouldn't destroy your shocks on the front as you are not changing anything but the mounting point it will however kill your cv's and ball joints..

Anything above 2.5" will be bad news bears for your truck. The angles start looking real ****** with anything > 2.5" -- If they didn't I would've run a bigger leveling kit myself... hence why I'm leveled 2.5/1.5.
