leveling kit question

[PapaCap]

Seems to be the least invasive system I’ve found. No cutting, no drilling, no brake line monkey business, new UCA keeps bushing geometry proper, US made, lifetime warranty, great reviews. Hmmm...I ordered the Rough Country kit today.

First hand long term experience with RC leveling low cost kit......I installed RC's 2.5" leveling kit IN my front struts when my 2015 was nearly new. ZERO problems with anything including the stock upper control arms and stock upper ball joints, mainly because mechanically the RC kit lifts exactly like Bilstein struts = By preloading the springs, the strut length is unchanged.

I should add.... My truck is not treated gently, I live on a rough, wash boarded, pot holed dirt road and also drive many miles of off-road trails when hunting and fishing. Tires are 315 X17 BFG KO2s, front bumper is a heavy steel aftermarket bumper with a Warn HS 9500 in it so the front is loaded more than the average truck and still it is holding up.

i have a 2016 4x4 and did the 2 inch spacer i had to replace my upper control arm 2 times the ball joint was coming loose. I removed it all and did the zone arms and the rancho shock level kits drive so much better now

I had the HBS 2" spacers on mine for about 5 years with nothing else and no problems whatsoever.

Last year I redid everything with Bilsteins at 2.8, upper control arms. diff drop, and body lift. still rides great

See a lot of the reviews you see for the spacer lifts are from guys who just got them installed. Yes they are happy because the truck rides great but never come back and update the review when their suspension goes to ****

I have a 2014 3/4 ton I put a 2.5 inch readylift...spacers only. On at 17000 miles, now at 117000. No problems ever.

2500s are different. Spacers ride better on solid axles.
