How is the RC level on the already lifted truck? How’s the upper ball joint without the new UCA’s? Can’t decide between that or the RL with UCAs

RC level kit is great. Maintains the ride quality and the actually levels the truck. Angle on the UCA's changes minimally and the RL kit isn't worth the extra $.

I asked my truck shop and all their employees a million times haha! They agreed the RC kit is the way to go for leveling an AT4.

First photo (side view truck has the 2 inch Readylift) since been removed cause the boot contacted the bottom part of the strut. Added Rough country 2 inch leveling struts and the Readylift was removed. Plenty of cv axle clearance now . 20x9.5 on 285/60/r20. It’s my vets truck. He said no rubbing and rides a lot better than factory.

Is this differant kit than the 3.5'' kit?

Yes as stated in the caption it is the Rough Country leveling struts they offer. 2 inch lift struts. Approximately $325 for both I believe.

I saw that. On rough country's site, they have the 3.5'' kit that comes with new coil/struts. Is that the same strut/coil as with the 3.5'' kit?

Can anyone speak on leveling kits and the ability to still use the OEM wheels/tires? This is in regards to a trail boss with the upper control arm lifts maybe. But looking at the fabtech setup it states you cannot use OEM wheels. Is this actually the case for all or is their setup different ?

Angles are good on it! I don’t have any photos to show though.

Greatly appreciate the feedback!

I believe so. Model 501066. I used the 3.5" lift N3 struts with my AT4 lift to get a 1.5" level.

hmm, I guess what im trying to figure out, is if the 3.5'' RC kit is actually going to give 3.5''. This would be on a non trailboss truck as well.

I have the Trail Boss but either way the same, but thanks for the insight, just wanted to get a real world opinion on it instead of dumping the crazy bucks on the RL one, cause everyone always talks about are the UCAs and the ball joint angles but I actually wanted to see if they were that bad

Yes, the 3.5" RC kit (with the spacer or the optiinal strut) will give you approximately 3.5" over the non trailboss/AT4 trucks.

Here's mine fella's. 20' AT4 w/duramax.

2 in RC level kit. Falken AT- 295/60. Fuel Rebel 20" wheel. Minor rub on the felt liner at full lock. Don't notice it enough to even think about switching!! Haha. Stance and ride is great imo. RC level kit didnt mess with factory AT4 ride either.

Looks great! I did the same leveling kit and wheels but in 18. I have the stock 275/65 wrangler MT duratrac and the rough country 2in leveling kit. I have no rubbing and can’t tell a diff in the ride. When I replace the tires I am going to go up to as big as I can with minimal cutting. So far I love the set up.

Looking to level my 2020 LTZ, and trying to find the best setup for the OEM 20” wheels. From what I gathered a 2” level kit on 295x65x20 should work. Has anyone noticed any significant issues with this setup? Any rub? My truck is pictured below. As far as leveling kits go, what is the best 2” kit? I want it to sit level to remove my rake.

I’d be careful going 2” unless you plan on using a rear block. My LTZ Z71 had less than 1.5” rake. For the time being, I ended up just doing a simple 1”, then someday in the future, I’ll do a 2” front level with a 1” rear block.
