Yet Another Leveling Kit Question

sc4808 · June 29, 2009

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'm not sure how the aluminum will hold up but I've seen these on Ebay, dont know of anyone having one though.

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.

Last week I had a Ready 1.5" levelling kit installed and alignment redone. It took the mechanic 40mins to install the strut spacers and 45 mins to do the alignment with test drive. 1.5hrs - I was in and out. If are doing it yourself Ready Lift has a video that shows how easy it is to install: http://www.readylift.com/p-108-readylift-6...stallation.aspx

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

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.

Well I just got mine from topgunzcustom off ebay for $60 and it is the new rough country kit.

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.
