Which 2" leveling kit? Motofab or Rough Country

OK, got the job done. Just had to completely remove the upper ball joint and the sway bar end link. I was then able to move things around enough to get the bolts in from the top. Overall it was an easy job once I decided not to try to cut corners on the install.

Looking good! Just make sure head down for an alignment asap!

I see this is older post, but I as well choose the Motofab 2" kit, after the install I am now 3/8 higher in the front, I'm not liking this. How thick is the spacer on the ruff country kit compared to the Motofab kit, and is there a skin or spacer I cad just add to the back instead of the block kit, there is 3/4 of thread left on the rear factory u bolts. Thanks

This is surprising....Can you notice it visually though, or only when you measure?

Here you go. Motofab 2" with LT275/70/18 KO2's. No issues at all:

Did you guys go with the top spacer or under strut spacer?

My kit is on a 2011 , after driving around to let everything settle I remeasured and the front is about 1/2 inch higher than the back, this is measured at the fender in wheel center line. Visually the truck looks level , cab and bedrails. But tape measure shows the difference. I have blocks to put in the back I jus have not done bit.

I recently purchased a 2013 GMC 4x4 Sierra SLE Ext Cab 6.6' Bed/5.3 /E85 Fuel.(63,000miles)

I had New Front Strut Assemblies w/Springs(Napa OEM upgraded tho)installed along w/ Moto Fab 2" leveling kit.

Excellent Stainless Steel Hardware, Black Hard Anodized Aluminum Blocks. Truck was Raised Almost 3"+/ 1" higher than the rear, wow!! PLUS the Blocks were only 1.25" thick!! I WAS TOLD IT'LLsettle down and be level after some Mike's. The ride is Excellant, the front is perfect now! The way it should've come from the factory. I also had new rear booted shocks(Napa OEM Grade updated too)installed@ 

same time. Also had Alignment done. Total cost $ 1,237.40. But the ride and look plus being higher, Easily 3" + is fantastic!!

But there is nothing wrong with a high end plastic spacer. In fact I'd probably get plastic next time!

I'm a retired master machinist engineer 35plus years! Plastic will not wear or make any noise compared to any types of metals btw!
