Ok, I really need some honest opinions, Is the leveling kit worth it, or do I spend the same amount of money on X codes?? Im really not sure what to do!! Ive replaced the shocks, and all that happy stuff, so Im just not sure what to do!!
As always, thank you in advance everyone!!

I have both on my X
It all depends on what you want. If you want to maintain the stock or close to stock ride, try those mini packs like I have from Marty at http://www.truck-toyz.com They go under the spring pack and dont affect the ride much. You still get to use your stock shocks also. Now, if you want a little stiffer ride and can get the X code's fairly cheap they are nice also. Not to harsh but stiffer for sure. I still have good movement up front on the springs.

Thank you very much Scott, I have to admit, Im kinda modeling my Ex after yours...(From a suspension standpoint) yours is the closest to what Im looking for!! Not too crazy, and still being able to tow and have the capability that the X is designed for!!
Thanks again for the pic, It makes sense now!! I really appricate it!

With both the X codes and the mini spring pack I have 5 inches lift over a stock X. I tow enough to worry and I now have NO worries. I had 305/70/16 on stock 16X7 rims with V codes and rubbed only on the molded mud flap.
Keep me informed and ask any more questions that you might have.

A leveling kit will raise the front of your truck a inch or two and level the ride out. The ones i have dont require a thing else extra except what they come with.
2- 2 inch mini spring packs
4- longer u bolts
The way they are designed they go under the shock mount; retaining the stock shocks and since the springs are so small they dont hurt the ride.....

$230.00 for the 2 inch leveling kit with no shocks. I will post a link to his catalog soon.
You also have a good week end.
