Autospring level kit- toe in adjustment

I'm about to order the kit off ebay,and it warns to adjust TOE IN.
Is that something I can do myself? or if a shop does it what kinda price am I looking at?
Did anyone else adjust it after install?

also, I see some cheap H13 and H1 bulbs on ebay for 2.00. Are they better than the stock lights? Has anyone used them? I'm not looking for the best, just better than stock...Thanks

You will need to get your front end aligned by a pro....could range anywhere from 50-150 bucks. :thumbsup

go with nokya stock wattage bulbs. you will be way more satisfied. i bought a set of those for my bros truck and they burnt out in maybe 2 months. cheaply made.

good looking out man, thanks!


Also, another question regarding the level kit.
Auto spring notes to add 12$ for powder coating.
And I just ran across the NCD kit for the same price and is Anodized.
I'm not really sure what that is, but I'm in northern MN and they lay down tons of salt. Should I go with the NCD?

I think the NCD kit is way better made and is way stronger, made from solid billet aluminum. The AS has there offset design, this makes the spacer weaker than the NCD. NCD has been in this business for a long time, and make spacers for other well known suspension companies. They guarantee their product for life and test all of their products to the extreme. I am very pleased with my NCD spacer and obviously would recommend it.

Either one is going to be good.

Your not going to bend, break or hurt a AS leveling kit in anyway dude.
You'd break the a-arms long before that would happen.

I'm sure they are both great kits.
My concern is rust, here in MN they lay down the salt pretty bad.
and I'm wondering wich is better to prevent rust. Anodized,or powder coated?

Hey nicks700,

I just got my level kit from Ebay from NCD customs. It was 89.99 shipped, I'll be putting it in Wednesday night. When I opened the box, there was good directions and a well wrapped item. It is powder coated nice and feels solid. I think you will be happy with NCD!!
Post pics when you are done as I will this weekend...

The NCD is annodized, not powder coated, which means a much more durable finish.
