Leveling kit question

[Colonel Forbin]

This has probably been beat to death but I'm a new member so I'll ask. Thinking about rough country or another leveling kit. Has anyone experienced any premature wear on suspension components? And how much was the ride affected? I have an all terrain with 20s so only planned on going up one tire size.

Here is a pic of my truck, I came from a 08 Yukon Denali love the pickup. Former owner installed a borla exhaust sounds real good

The consensus here seems to be that suspension components shouldnt be compromised. I leveled mine about 3 weeks ago with the motofab 2" kit (same design as rough country, except made of billet aluminum vs plastic and way cheaper) and the ride is exactly the same. Smooth as silk. The geometry doesnt change per say. It just moves the strut higher. The travel on it doesn't change. Def get an alignment directly after install as the toe will be out and cause premature tire wear on the outside of the tread if not. Also, im told i can run a 33" tire with my setup now. So glad i leveled. Looks way better and the higher clearence for the air dam is a nice plus

^ you can run a 34 inch tire (275/65/20) as long as your on stock wheels or a wheel with stock offset. That's what I'm running with a 2 inch rc level.
