Great Quality
Everything in the kit seems very high quality. The ride is a little stiff, but that's expected for an 4x4 lift kit. Everything feels "tight" since the install-thats a good thing. It seems like it's going tk be very durable, but only time will tell. I highly recommend it. Install was easier than I expected, I did it all with 2 floor jacks, jack stands and almost all hand tools (ratchets, wrenches).

Great for the Money
I'm pleased with the look of the truck. It lifts the front 3 inches and the rear 1 inch to level it out. It gave the truck better ground clearance and I was able to run 34 inch tires. Seems like I could still clear 35s with the right wheel offset. The kit came with everything needed at a decent price. It doesn't seem to ride any rougher than factory, and I drive a lot on the interstate as well. I couldn't speak about the install, as I had a shop install it. Overall, great value for the money! 👍🏻

Not bad
Install was fairly easy. Good instructions. I was a bit disappointed in the ride. I installed new tires with it and had an alignment done. Maybe reviews had my expectations too high. The sit is just a tad low on the back. I mean it is a leveling kit and maybe it is level, but it looks like it’s an inch low in the rear which kind of makes my eye twitch. Quality wise the parts are stout and well made. I don’t worry about it driving around. Overall it’s good but keep in mind it’s not a full lift and ride may not be what you expect.

Too firm, can't handle offroad trails
Don't waste your money on this kit unless you have no choice. It ride horrible especially when hitting bumbs. Not good for offroad that's for sure.

Great look for price
It looks amazing it's an easy bolt on set but you got to make sure you have the tools your gonna need to get all the old parts off. Took me longer to remove old parts than install the new ones

Very nice lift and keeps the ride quality
Switched out from spacers and this is so nice. This lift puts the truck at a nice height and brings the ride quality back to, if not better than when it was new. The spacers were good for a little height, but they made the ride very stiff, this lift fixed that perfectly.

Waisted time and money.
The kit I purchased was a 3 inch leveling kit for a 2017 ram 1500 four-wheel-drive. This kit made a ridiculous mess. It did fit on the truck, however, it was not functional. Had I tried to drive the truck after putting the kit on, I would’ve blown out my CV joints, as they were severely angled. The CV boot was hitting the spring on the strut. We thought the parts would settle into a better position as the hoist was lowered and the weight of the truck settled on the floor. The suspension only dropped a half of an inch as a truck was lowered to the ground. The amount of lift on the front, measured 5.25 inches instead of three. Had I completed the installation of the blocks in the rear, the front of the truck would have stood about 3 inches above rear. Scratching our heads, we checked the part numbers with the suggested parts, which were correct. We reevaluated the installation to make sure everything was assembled properly. No problems were found there, it was a ridiculously poor fit. After many hours of working on this mess, I decided to pull it all off, go up to an auto parts store and purchase stock suspension components. This leveling kit was returned to Amazon for a refund. You can see through the attached photos, some of the issues that I ran into. I know there are a lot of positive, satisfied comments, but this is what I ran into and I would recommend that people avoid it. Good luck with yours.

With the right tools, it’s easy
Item said it should take about 6 hours to do the install. I was able to do it in a little under 6 in my drive way. The fitment was spot on, and assembly was a breeze with the right tools. The only odd tools were a 21mm crow’s foot wrench annd an 15/16” impact socket. American trucks did a great “how too” video on YouTube for this kit.

The vehicle is up and running, and everything is working fine. The cost of the product was worth it.
