i had the RCX leveling kit on my truck a while ago and just a little hint from my experience, if you put the rear spacer in your truck still wont sit level, just higher all around. heres a pic of mine with the same kit on....see how the rear sits higher? id just install the front spacers if you want it perfectly level. it is an overall nice kit though. didnt affect my ride quality at all. just trying to help!

yea they really shouldn't call it a leveling kit. Honestly your truck still looked good with it installed. A slight rake looks good imo, but the stock rake is horrible

thanks, and yea it wasnt the most noticeable rake in the world but definitely noticeable looking at it straight on from the side like that. heres another one where you cant tell (i really dont miss those quads lol.) and if i remember correctly my kit was a 2.5''/.75'' versus his with the 1.75'' rear. is that how it comes now? or is that a typo? hope all this helps OP.

not to concerned about having it leveled just sitting a bit higher. I'm horrible with spending money on vehicles. I don't think I've owned one that I haven't added something too. Stock is not my thing. I will say this is that quickest that I've started buying things for a vehicle. I usually wait about a month not a day.

Did you buy the kit that came with the body lift? Because the rear lift in that is .75 but the standard kit the rear shows that it is 1.75. What size tires are you running?

The raked look will make it level when towing and not ass down under load. Either way the truck will look good.

nope bought just the leveling kit itself and it came with a .75'' rear spacer. those are 285/70/17s. i did add a body lift later on and replaced the front spacers with Bilsteins and i still have the rear spacer in.

first attempt at install failed. only had 2 hours of free time and couldn't figure out how to drop the arms low enough to slide the spring assembly back in. Trying again tomorrow. going to pull the brake caliper off hopefully that will give me the extra drop I need. Plus I have more time. Any info is greatly appreciated to make this go faster.
