Cheap, yet effective.

I'm looking for a cheap, leveling kit that works like its supposed to and can handle the weight of a half ton snow plow. I don't really care about ride quality, the truck already rides like its solid. What do you think of the topguncustomz kit? Recommend me some.

Anthony Jaime's got a 6.0. Totally different kit than yours. However rough country does make a good kit. But for plowing and heavy use like that I recommend the Icon kit.

The Icon kit corrects all your steering geometry and has the proper spring rates. A must for plowing. The rough country kit will work but will steer like **** with the plow on it

I've been doing alot of research back and forth between the 2 actually. And from what I understand, It's worth it.

Does the Rough country kit come with steel spacers or rubber ones?

If its the rubber ones they get kinda mushy and bouncy with a plow on
