Why is AS leveling kit so popular?

Is it because of how cheap it is on ebay? Or is there actually a benefit to choosing that kit over readlift etc.?

From what I have read it is the price and I have not seen on this forum where one person has had an issue with it.

It is cheap, well built, good instructions, pretty finish, and not too bad to install. I got one because it seems to be the most popular one here so I know it can be trusted.

I believe it was the first to use an offset design, keeping the coil from rubbing the upper control arm. As far as I can tell ready lift has not yet adopted this style.

What they all said! Great product, no issues, and not too bad to install. The best part is they are cheaper than the other companies and it seems to be a better all around product.

some pretty good responses... I think I might just pull the trigger. I had one more question though. I hear how the 2009's will sit a tad higher in the front with the 2.5" kit. Would I be back at level if I installed an Add A Leaf in the rear?

ya it is super easy to install because you dont have to take the coil assembly apart. i believe the add-a leaf would give you at least 3/4" in the rear resulting in a slight bit of rake with the back a little higher

I have the 2.5" kit on mine and I am dead level.....at least my eyes say I am. I wouldn't think you would need the extra leaf., If you are worries about that, go with the 2" kit.

You could get a Readylift kit if buying an identical product at 3 times the cost appeals to you. Leveling kits are a pretty simple product. It's hard to make a bad one.

Simple, Reliable and reasonably priced. What more could you ask for?

I bet I could make a bad one. Maybe I could use green treated lumber?
