Yet Another Leveling Kit Question

Since Rough Country has changed their design to a 1 piece 2 1/2" kit, does anybody know of a 1 1/2" kit that is still made?

 

Preferably the design that goes on the bottom of the strut like the RC kit did, I did see a couple that required changing the entire strut (adjustable) and were quite expensive, also I saw a couple that went on top of the strut, I would imagine that design would be harder to install.

 

I should have jumped on a Rough Country Kit before the design changed, thats what I get for waiting.

I have the 2" Fabtech kit and have no problems with it. They say it is 2" but I think it is more like 1.5" or 1.75". It does not go on the bottom though.

The top strut spacer wouldn't be much harder to install, you remove 3 nuts on the top along with the 2 on the bottom. I know ProComp and ReadyLift don't require you to cut or swap the struts. But they are pricey.

today is your lucky day. Rough Country has the old style kit on ebay.

Thanks, I just ordered it.

 

I only want to come up 1 1/2" in the front, I would like to keep a very slight rake to the truck (rear slightly higher) and feel like the 1 1/2" will be perfect.

 

Again, thanks for all of the help.

Better confirm with him that that is definately the adjustable kit. One guy had that pictured but when I asked him he said it was now a 1 piece, 2" kit, even though he still had the 6 pieces posted.

Yea that would be me, doesnt sound like the guy i bought it from has the 3 piece design anymore because i asked him for that one or a refund and he said to call him for a refund, have not got a phone number to call him on so thats all i know right now :thumbs:

I am in the same boat. I just got around to wanting to order my RC 2in lift, and I would rather have the ajustable and not the single stage lift.

I like the idea of only having one part (less pieces to fail), but also prefer to have the option to adjust if needed. I bought the aluminum kit from a guy on ebay, but I'm not going to put it in for a while though. But when I do I'll let you know how it is.

Call me crazy, but I also dont like the idea that the new part is a plastic resin. There not steel any longer. I just called rough country to confirm.

I got mine from topgunz too but that was back in May when they still had the adjustable steel spacer kit. The 1.5" of lift worked quite well on mine, still has a slight rake to it.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Z45 · Posted

      The oil filter has NOTHING To do with oil leak. GM sources parts from 1,000's of vendors and as with anything mass produced, flaws are unavoidable.    Putting a larger oil filter will do nothing but satisfy emotions. The OEM filter is designed for the engine and perfectly capable of handling the demands on the engine. Oversize oil filter could result in reduced flow and overall lower oil pressure.

      The Peckish Synapse

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.

      Diesel hit $6.00 here today at the truck stop.   Payed $2.79 for E85 today too.
