    i have a 05 4wd with 103,000 miles. i want to level it but most kits i have found are 2.5"-3" and ive read that if you go over 2" it puts too much stress on the ball joints. and i dont want to do that because of the mileage. i have also looked at leveling coils. any input for what would be best to use would be appreciated thanks.

    Ok, found a couple. It doesn't look quite level to me, but it could be because of the sloped driveway in the 2nd pic.
