Default Re: Got the Truxx leveling kit..but....

I had the same problem with my truck after the Truxx kit was installed. I also has some minor popping in the front end. There were some postings that explained that you could loosen the rear shackle at the leaf while on a floor jack, lower the rear and then tighten the bolt. This will probably give you that 1/2 inch. Some guys did it for the same correction. I just ditched the Truxxx kit altogether and purchased the Bilstein Cognito Leveling shocks. Yankee you can do one of the following:

Option 1: Crank down the t-bars a bit, about 1/4 inch, but u do not necessarily have to get another alignment bc the front end alignment should still be to spec.

Option 2: You can buy the rear shackles or the add-a-leafs to lift the rear, no alignment would be needed.

Option 3: Do the above on the stock rear shackles and get the 1/2 inch.

Here is a pic of mine with the Cognitos. Oh, and the front will settle in. I had to adjust my t-bars many times inbetween test drives. My front was sitting perfect at 24 1/4, I am now about 24 1/8.
