I leveled my 2010 dc 2wd. (a 2.5 inch spacer front only) Now is there any thing I need to check on such as zero the vsc or any sersors to shim or disconnect the battery or do I just drive like I stole it?

Good question, Dan. Those with lifts/levels, please chime in. All I know of is to continue to check your alignment and check for vibrations in the tires.

I had ordered a pair of 2.5 inch spacers on ebay. I removed one strut only to find out the cheap ebay spacers would no fit my truck. Hmmm its Friday I just wrestled a strut off the truck and now I have to put it back on. This day is not going too good. "I WANT MY TRUCK LEVELED"
OK truck is back together now and wifey is saying I'm to old to be doing this kind of stuff and to go to the 4 Wheel Parts store and just get them to do it. It's about 2 o'clock and off to 4 Wheel Parts we go.
I must say the 4 Wheel Parts Performance Center on 610 South just west of Almeda had a pair of spacers, installed them and aligned the truck by 4:30. The work I observed is first rate. The truck tracks as straight as an arrow. They are a tad pricey but I would use them again and would recommend them for others to use.

It's called the Low Pro ???. It is the low profile one. I had one on my other truck for about 8 years. Never had a problem with it. My daughter has one on hers and a part on it broke. She called Truxedo and they sent her a new part with no questions ask. No pics of it to where you can see it. Maybe later.

Just make sure you keep checking the alignment....and all the associated parts that 4WP's installed for you. Things tend to loosen up a bit over time....

Shouldn't be a problem Tee, the installer should try to get it as close as possible and that should get you to the tire shop.

Thanks, Chuck. I know it'll look retarded but it's easier than transporting tires back and forth.

LMAO shush! I have the state logo on the camper already. I'm not going that far if I end up doing that. Just don't feel like shoving 35s in the SUV if I don't have to.
