I installed Skyjacker leveling springs back in '96 on my truck. The kit only came with springs and shocks back then. It raised the front end about 2" (huge difference) . It made the truck look 100% better. The springs are a little stiffer, so the ride will be. The trucks handling didn't change at all. After the springs were installed, my front axle shifted over towards the passenger side about 3/8". Not really noticeable. Truck aligns fine, tracks str8 as an arrow.
