Kept it simple, went with Fox 2.0 on all four corners, adjusted to just shy of 1.5” in the front to keep a little rake. Added Ridge Grapplers in 275/55/20. I’m a little old school, I like to keep it looking a little stock.

So i put my RC 2" level kit and Toyo 295/55/20's on this weekend. Install was simple, just like on my 2011. It definitely helps to have an extra set of hands when wedging that spacer in there. 295/

Thanks. Here is one more from yesterday. Considering we're getting 8-10 inches of rain the next two days, I won't be taking any better pics soon.

How's the ride compared to stock? And where'd you buy the shocks? Debating between this and Bilstein 5100s. Truck looks good

Thanks! It rides just as smooth, but gets rid of that typical “over reaction” to bumps/rough road. Handles bumps/potholes in turns a lot smoother and got rid of that Cadillac float feeling on the highway.

No experience here with Bilstein’s, so I can’t tell you one way over the other, but you can feel the quality of the Fox’s.

I ordered from 4wheelparts, but even amazon has them for $370.

No rub, it’s actually the stock size tire, but is actually a little taller. MPG didn’t change, still getting 19-20 mpg after 200 miles.

Very nice. You don't see many leveled regular cabs. I thought about leveling mine but now I think I'm leaning towards a 4/7 drop

So fellas, I really like the trucks I come across on the forum and am trying to make a decision on a leveling kit for my 2015. I was initially set on the Rough country 2.5 up front with the 1 in in the back but have recently come across a few issues that people have made about it. I've read that RC tends to give a creeking/popping noise to the suspension up front during full turn, or just turning at that matter. I'd like to avoid running into that issue. So...from the people who have had the kit, or any other kit for that matter, can we get some reviews on your personal experience with your current kit and how long you've been riding it? 

I know when I get new upgrades I really dig them straight off the bat, but as time passes and the honeymoon phase tends to fade I start seeing the issues I could really do without. So any experience which you guys have run into as time has passed with your kit would be greatly appreciated. Also please give recommendations which you have liked and what kits you guys would recommend due to no issues at all. I don't just want to hear the bad, but also the good. Thanks folks!!

+1  Was hoping to here the same type of review.  Looking to put a 2.5 leveling kit on my 2018 and was going back and forth between Zone and RC...

From all the research I've done in the past couple weeks, I would go with the Bilstein 5100 leveling shocks, and leave the rear alone. Will give you a little bit of rake for towing/bed loads, but much better than a spring spacer

Before he installed the 1/2” spacer he would rub at about 90% turn (give or take) after the install he rubs after like 98% turning (again give or take) im just not sure if its from the uca or the sway bar. wen i see my young brother again ill check where the rubbing is coming from
Hope this helped

      Gas Prices

      By Atlas · Posted

      I understand that. The price is what it is, though. The price is what oil costs today, where our choices have led us, where supply is, and where demand is, in the market that is. Speculation is for futures, what we think the price will be, but with incomplete information at the time the price is forecast. I know you know this, but you appear to be intent on making a secondary point here about what you think the market could or should be, if only other choices.   In 1975 it became illegal to export US Crude. I'm conflicted on what the best answer is. Free markets allow export in pursuit of profit. But there is also a lot to gain by producing and consuming our own oil here. How do you reconcile it?

      That sir is a choice. And even if it were not for all the reasons stated, this disruption has zero to do with the reality of the actual logistics and everything to do with the greed of SPECULATION. Spot price is irrelevant to reality.

      What I think you're saying is there is supply here at home, and in Venezuela, and we could ease pricing if only it were favorable to do so.   Well, yes?   But that's not the current market. Supply isn't what could someday exist, if only, it's what producers are willing to produce and sell at a certain price point.   The national price of single family homes would come way down if we'd just slap together a few million homes this summer.   RAM and GPUs would get a lot cheaper if we just set up some factories to produce a bunch more and stopped using it to build out AI data centers.

      The turn signal/multifunction switch is faulty.  I've seen a few of these go bad at work.
