I have a 2009 chevy 2500 with following mods
PPE Forged Center link
Kryptonite idler arm and idler arm support
Kryptonite Idler Arm
PPE Tie Rods
Dmax Store upper control arms
Kryptonite leveling keys
Im mainly looking to get a level out of my truck but keep my cv axles more straight than they are now. Are there any lift kits that wouldn't work well with those front end parts. Im wanting to put a lift on and de crank they keys to get a leveled look. Im looking at putting on an aftermarket brush guard in the future which I know will sag front end a hair so Im looking for something to put on the truck to make it level and keep cv axles at a lower angle. Also I noticed alot of the lift kits come with keys and upper control arms and such and Im not wanting to throw all that stuff on if I dont need to since I just purchased all these parts and put them on.

What size tires?

I put a cognito 4-6 and turned it down to about 4 and my CV angles are straight

I kinda run different wheel setups all the time. I just buy and sell them honesty. I have ran 20x12 and 20x10 both with 33x12.5 and dont rub at all. I was reverse leveled and decranked keys but I also have trimmed alot. Im about to run some 33x13.5 on a 14 wide for a little bit just for the heck of it but not for long. I dont want to tear up my front end after all these new parts. I am gonna put 33x12.5 on 5 star stocks with adapters. Not a big fan of adapters so I may just go to a 8x6.5 wheel with 35s.

Do you have any photos of how the truck sits? I've been debating this lift for my 05. This kit doesn't drop the torsion right?
I'm not in the habit of taking photos of my truck so I don't have much. This might be the best I hot right now. Non torsion bar drop kit. The 2008 truck in my sig

I think I paid closer to $1500. His probably included installation at that price. If not that's a rip off

I have heard good things about zone suspension from a couple of customers down here. It's not bad when it comes to pricing either

When the time comes around. Mine will more than likely have a rough country on it. Especially after seeing the abuse that they can take here. lol
