pharmboy2010 · September 4, 2012

Was checking out Rough Country's website and noticed they have a new 2.5" leveling kit that includes rear blocks.

Wow. I had not seen that yet either. I would probably have done this if I it had been available. I still like the cast iron rear block that the ReadyLift has available though...

thats funny i thought about making some thick washers on top to make a spacer just like that lol. i already have RC 2" lever they should sell just the top spacer and rear block as a kit also

Im about to add 20x9s with 5" Bs so will give me extra security with the rubbing. Going to run 305/50r20's

Interesting I wonder if the added .5" would affect the tension on the ball joint?

they JUST came out with that, got the email at work last week or so. and agreed i'm not so hot on the rear block option they have...

sic lx, i have 20x9 novakanes with a 295/55r20. it took me a 2" rough country plus a 1.5" zone body lift and trimming behind the fender liners and then pulling them back with zip ties to clear...

there are other 2.5" leveling kits out there, so i dont think this one will be terrible. they should sell just the top spacers seperately, and use better rear blocks.

I sent RC an email today asking if they would sell just the top spacer and/or rear blocks, since a lot of people already have the 2" level. No reply yet...but will keep you guys posted.

Im just going to run 305/55r20 for now with fuel boost wheels with 0 offset

rear blocks didnt think their would be much to them. what they say about them This kit includes a set of Fabricated 2" Rear Blocks to replace the OEM 1" block. Fabricated blocks offer a longer lifespan than cast blocks and are less susceptible to damage and the environment

I ordered this kit today.

Because somehow a larger tire will fit with fewer mods?

I had the RC 2'' levelling kit on my last truck with 3'' rear blocks. I'll likely put the 2'' blocks on, but i'm not sure if it is enough in the back. I hate the 'level' look.

My buddy has this lift on his 08. Works great and he loves it, he also put the 2" block on top of the factory block. His trucks got a lifted but still raked look. Looks awesome and works great.
