Default A few questions...

So, for starters, I want to level my '04 Lux. I'm thinking of going with this kit, which is 2.5" front and 2" rear.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWAX%3AIT

That should be everything that I need, and then an alignment afterwards? Any idea how much the ride will be affected by using the proper leveling kit vs just cranking the bars?

I'm going to be putting 37x13.50 Mud Grapplers on my stock wheels. I'm fully aware that they're gonna rub, not too worried about that. For those of you that are running the Mud Grapplers, I know they're loud, but are they obnoxiously loud from inside the vehicle?

What about re-gearing? Are the bigger tires going to throw everything out of whack? Speedo? Loss of power?

Anything else I need to know before I throw down the cash and buy all of this? Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I'm pretty new to this!!

Thanks!!

Do you already have coils in the back? If not, they are real easy to replace and much better than the bags. I just changed mine out last weekend, took me about an hour. I also replaced the shocks with rancho rs9000's and added the leveling kit. Seems to ride even better than stock.

You will lose power with the bigger tires, but if you don't off road you may not mind, but it is recomended.

With a programmer you can tune for different tire sizes and gears to keep your mileage/speedo accurate. Not to mention performance tunes. I have a superchips vortex and can't complain.

Your steering components will wear out fast (or break if you offroad) with the larger tires. There are lots of posts on here about which front end components (tie rods, etc) to get.
