[QUOTE="Yardsale , post: 1017153, member: 58988"] I don't see a Truxxx [u]Leveling[/u] Kit on their website (there is a suspension lift kit). If ride quality and performance are goals, keep in mind that the Rancho QuickLIFT raises the resting ride height which reduces the suspension down travel (as will any kit that raises the resting ride height via suspension change). The practical implications are the wheel cannot travel down as much to follow dips which can cause a sudden top-out, loss of traction and subsequent body roll upon recovery. It also can inhibit ground tracking on bumpy roads when the vehicle is rebounding upward (suspension is expanding) after driving through a dip, also causing loss of traction. This is particularly problematic at the front with the open differential (one spinning wheel powered). [/QUOTE]
