The more I read...the less I want to install leveling kit

82Crew · Jan 20, 2017

I have the Rough Country 3 in on mine, came with Springs in the front and 1 inch block in the rear. I did not get the adjustable track bar. I am running 315/70R17 on factory 3rd gen wheels and the only issue I have is minor tire rub on full turn right. I believe that issue will go away with the track bar. For the price of the springs with shocks kit vs the spacer and shock extenders I don't see a reason to not get the springs and shocks

My 2500 is a 2wd so it's a little different I went with the maxtrax 2.5 level kit witch was new coils and shocks and it only ran like 220 bucks and it rides the same a factory

I had the RC 2' on my 2014 2500 5.7, if you do do it just make sure that they know what they doing, Les Schwab install them for me and I was getting some popping noise so I had to take it back, what they find out that something wasn't tighten properly or right.

Shock Extension.

The way it was setting after the install, I really love it but the wife had an hard time getting in and out.

Don't believe the hype. Spacers and shock brackets are fine. I've had that stuff on my truck for 50k miles.

It's not so much a matter of hype as it is what route you want to go. I my self am of the opinion that I want more travel with lift... So the Carli or thuren or pure and maybe even the bds are a good option for me.Where as the rough country/ super lift and other lifts are just a lift with out added travel. ya ya I know we are talking about lvling kits.

Just curious if you noticed a big gas mileage hit with the level?

Drove 415 miles to upstate NY in August and got 22.62 mpg. Drove the same after I leveled it in December and got 22.96. I wouldn't think a level would affect much anyway. It's the monster wheels and tires that will kill you.

Absolutely not. Tires did it. I ran stocks for 20kish before I went to 35's.
