Yeah, they do it for load reasons and also for handling. When the front is higher, or level with the rear and you take a sharp turn, it increases the roll rate. IE, the Center of gravity. Not so noticeable when not carry a load, but put a heavy trailer or 1200 lbs in the bed and it won't handle like the same truck.

I don't want to encourage those out there thinking about this leveling kit, it can cause problems, but damn, this is a sweet truck now. I was worried about it affecting how well it would track on the road, or any wierd noises, but nothing so far. I am curious as to how my CV joint angles will be affected for my 4wd. I haven't tried the 4wd since I bought the truck. The angle didn't look too bad. I just hope that I don't get into a money pit with lowering the front axle if I have problems. I am sure I can expect some accelerated wear if I am running 50+ mph, but I don't see it causing any failures.

Anyone out there with this kit and 4wd care to comment on how well it has been working?
