Was going to install mine last night but it's arriving late. Tires just showed up though. Gonna go get them mounted. Hopefully it'll be in the mailbox this afternoon and I'll get it on tonight. So I can get my alignment in the am.

Hey, can you post a pic of your light bar? What brand did you get, did you install or dealer? Just curious what model P/N#, and how it is wired....

I just installed a leveling kit from zone off road on a 2019 trail boss and the top spacer should have a smaller hole in it so that the upper strut mount rubber cusion has something to rest on instead of a 5/8 in gap between the top mount and frame this looks like a upper strut mount failer problem down the road

I'm looking into this kit, in the instructions it looks like it all goes together with out gaps. I'm having some difficulties understanding/picturing what you are describing.

19 TrailBoss with Rough Country 1.5" leveling kit and 35x11.50r18 Toyo Open Country AT II

No wheel spacers and there is about a gnats ass of clearance but no rubbing

Finished everything up. Had to make my appointment for the alignment next Friday due to shipment delays. 1.5 motofab & 35 12.50 18 Ridge Grapplers with 2" Bora spacers.

Did you really put 2" spacers on this poor truck!?!? How long are the wheel studs!?!? Hard to comprehend...

When you go that big they don't use extended studs. the spacers have its own built in studs and then the spacer bolts to the hub.

I haven't had any shaking issues or any other issues. I've had the setup for almost 2,000 miles and I drive a lot of highway around 70mph. City and highway driving has been fine. Feels stock.

Have you had any issues with this leveling kit? How many miles do you have on the kit now? Any issues with the Upper Control Arms?

I am having this kit installed tomorrow with TOYO MT 295/70R18’s on factory wheels.

Greetings all,

I've been reading all the lift / lvl threads I can these days. Here is what I can contribute...

I bought my truck brand new off a dealer with 285 65 20s installed. I asked the service rep at the dealer what did they do to the truck since that wasn't stock. Said they added a spacer up front. I asked about an problem with wear and tear or warranty issues he said nope. Makes me wonder if a dealer is willing to install suspension mods on every single one of their AT4s just how much premature wear and tear can be expected? The truck is under warranty and I can't imagine a dealer would compromise these trucks to the point they are going to have a slue of folks showing back up to their service department needing all new front end suspensions.

I'm currently deoyed, so I can't take and measuments for a bit. But I am more and willing to do so when I get back home. I do remember measuring the height distant from the ground to the body and the rear was under and inch taller.

I'm no mechanic. If there are issues with these mods, where should I inspect or be on the look out for?

I noticed in another thread the listed parts for the Trailboss’s lift don’t include arms or any steering parts.

Basically it is a leveling lift. Probably means that putting a 2” level on top of it would have your arms WAY out of whack.

You are 100% correct. They come with longer struts and do not correct the geometry
