Which level kit for RST?

[jb177]

Which level kit have you guys used on the 2019 RST?  I want something that will get it close to level w/o nosing in the air.  

 

ReadyLift looks to be the best quality, but I'm reading quite a bit here about Rough Country. 

 

My local shop does mostly zone stuff, any feedback on those?

I’m looking for the same thing. I want to raise the front but also keep a rake so probably put a block in the rear. Just don’t know what size would be good

I used the rough country one. The rear is still about 2cm higher but looks level on eye test

Is the rough country one tapered like the readylift?

Just dropped off my truck to have rough country's 3 inch suspension lift installed with 35x12.50r20 Ridge Grapplers on stock wheels. I'll post pictures after I pick it up.

Please post a pic of it when you're done.  After making more calls this morning, I'm going with either the zone or readylift.  

 

Is the rough country steel or polymer?

It is steel. Kit comes with new a-arms and shocks & blocks for the rear. I was going to go with readylift's 4" lift but decided to go with the cheaper 3".

Please post pic when you're done. I just ordered the 4" readylift SST but if your setup can fit 35s then I might go your route. The readylift is currently on back order so I have time.

Rough country

Thanks for the pic. To me it looks a little nose high. That’s what I’m afraid of. I wonder what size block in the rear would keep the rake? How hard was install?

I just ordered the FabTech 2" front and the 1" rear block.  May want to take a look at those.  I went with the top mount spacer.

I measured both front and rear top of fenders in my garage which is on level ground and the rear is still higher than the front but you're right the front does look higher. Install was easy if you're using a impact wrench, about 35 min each side. For some reason though, rough country wanted me to disconnect the electronic power steering connectors so that took some time. Anyone know why they have you do that?

Do you know if that's a true 1" rear block?  I just had the Motofab 2/1 kit installed on my truck.  But what I ended up with was a 2/2 lift.  Apparently on the K2 there was a factory 1" block that was removed and replaced with a 2" in the kit for a net 1" gain.  But on the 2019 there is no factory block, so you get the full 2" gain.

 

Motofab is telling me they don't make a 1", trying to find one to bring the back end down an inch.  Right now I still have a 1 1/8" rake on my truck.

I don’t.  I ordered their block that says it lifts the rear a true 1” but I don’t know if they’re assuming there is a factory rear block that is removed to make that happen.  I saw your pics and I like it so I’ll stick with theirs.  I received the kit but haven’t had it installed yet.  I tow a lot so I don’t mind the rake as much.  I just don’t want too much.

Another thing to think about if their 1” rear lift block is really lifting the rear by 2” is your shock travel.  You’re going to bottom out your shock and will likely have a rough ride if you don’t replace the shock with a longer travel shock.
