Leveling Kit

I was just curious what the benifits are to these leveling kits?

Any reason that someone would not install one?

Thanks

benefits:
more aggressive stance
can fit up to 35" tires on stock wheels,
*some aftermarket wheels if your backspacing is around 5.5"

drawbacks:
premature ball joint failure due to the increased control arm angle
(how premature is yet to really be determined as the most a kit has been on is roughly two years)

if you want to know more, there are chapters upon chapters of threads on autospring, daystar, leveling kits etc if you search...

I just installed the auto spring 2" on my '04 and it drives exactly the same. It also looks so much better. Only have a few miles so far but most of what i read about it is positive. I say take a chance!!!

I say do a search and you'll find enough information to keep you busy for hours.
