2" Rough Country Leveling Kit Questions and Concerns

[Joach]

I just bought a 2018 Denali Sierra, and contemplating installing a 2" Rough Country magneride leveling kit, as I only desire my front end to be level with my rear. Has anyone made this installation, and if so, have you experienced any problems (ie. alignment, hauling, bearing problems) ?

 

Additionally, is there any other brand you would recommend?

I can't really say about Magnaride setup but on the regular setup, the Rough Country 2" level spacers did what they were supposed to. Had a front end alignment done and it ended up not being too far off. When trying to tow my toy hauler, it was a bit of an issue. The rake is there to compensate for the sag that happens when weight is added to back and usually will end up with back end level with front on stock setup. However, when that sag happens with a leveled front end, the front end will be pointed slightly at the sky. During daytime, it just looks a little funny. At night though, headlights will be blinding incoming traffic. I solved this with Airlift bags and their compressor setup.

 

But... When it comes time to change out the strut and the RC level spacers have been there for a length of time, you're in for a surprise. Took me almost a good 2 days cutting with sawzall, pounding with a BFH and drilling out what still remained. Along with curling my tongue the right way and trying to watch the colorful language as my young son was nearby through a lot of it to get them completely removed.
