So installed RC’s 2” leveling struts on my 2022 Ram 1500 to level the truck. Unfortunately I now have a reverse rake going on somehow with the front being 1.5” higher up front which is giving it a ‘Carolina lean’ appearance which I can’t stand. A lot of reviews stated that after installing their truck was perfectly level…any reason for this? Will end up lifting the rear but didn’t want too cause I didn’t want the truck that high.

Most of the people on those reviews don’t realize their truck actually looks ridiculous…

I’ve had 2 leveling kits on a Chevy and gmc both of those kits were more like lift kits. They were 1.5 in the front and 1” rear and kept some rake which is necessary for towing and hauling.

I’ll never do another leveling kit or anything like that again as they didnt help with longevity in the front end.

Rough country heights are rarely accurate
