Which 2.5" Level?

mistermcgoo · May 7, 2019

I recently installed a Motofab 1.5" lower strut spacer and definitely like it, but am comtemplating doing either the Rough Country 2.5" Kit that includes the rear block that adds 1" or ordering a 2.5" Motofab spacer and 1" rear block. I have 2 questions..

1.) Does anyone have experience going the Motofab route vs the RC?

2.) I noticed the RC kit has a 2" lower spacer and a 0.5" top spacer, any particular reason for this? I'm a little more inclined to go the Motofab route since it would be almost $40 cheaper and slightly easier to install the front portion since the Motofab spacer is only a 2.5" lower mount.. am I missing something here? Did RC intentionally not make a single 2.5" lower spacer due to front end wear concerns or something?

I thought RC only had a 2” level for our trucks

If I had to do it over again I would go with the single Motofab single 2 1/2 spacer for the front and a 1" rear block.

This depends on what arms you have. Cast or stamped? Stamped i wouldn't go over 2

None I would go over 2 (cast or stamped), it just adds more wear on the front end. The closer to stock the better. I did 1.5 front and 1 rear to keep rake for towing and hauling (as well as the headlight alignment) and because the further from stock you go the more wear incurs and this was a happy medium. Not has harsh as a 2.5 but allowed more room for the larger tires when going off road.

Nasty - I have an 18', so I'm assuming they're stamped..

Because that one spacer is a lot easier to install than the RC one on top/one on bottom set up. However that's assuming you are doing a 1" in the back.
