Yea gonna need pics of front and rear suspension components. I dont think mopar offered 4-6” kits. If it dosnt have the front lower control arms dropped, its most likely just 2-3” at most.

Well its definitely a 4-6” spacer type kit, with spacers over the front struts and drop brackets/extensions.

As to which brand…do the shocks have stickers on them? Any stickers/badging on any other brackets? Are there spacers over/under the rear coils?

The diff drop cradles and diff skid look a lot like the zone kit.

the only label li could find is that one in the picture with the bar code , its a mopar shock , ill have to get back under and check the rears

Yea, the fromt struts are oem units, the lift comes from the spacer on top of them. What brand rear shocks?

there is no labelling on the shocks at all , probably not the best pics , it looks like there is something , maybe the spacer on top of the spring ?

We were able to work with him and get it figured out. It is a Zone kit with Zone branded rear shocks and OEM struts up front. We got a very nice upgrade shipping out to him real soon.

Has anyone used or 'know of' the use of this front end leveling kit???


@RamDiver @Wild one @CannuckRam1313 @Adamcr68
Everything I’ve seen/read suggest that spacers aren’t your best option, you would be better off getting new struts, but have heard people say the spacers worked for them.
Lots, I mean “lots” of members here have more knowledge than I do, so I can only speak about my experiences, I have Thuren coil overs and a set of Bilsteens to use when I get my shocks rebuilt.
Both preform better than the stock springs, IMO, I never used spacers so can’t say that they are no good but I think you would be happier with a strut level.
Keeping the geometry/angles close to a stock suspenion setup will help save wear & tear on the rest front end parts, again IMO.

I would have to be paid to put rough country struts on my truck, and even then i probably wouldnt. They are just junk. Thats why they are so cheap.

Go with bilstein, or fox, or eibach, or…anything but rough country lol

Spacers cause issues long term. It is well documented here the issues they cause over time. Adjustable struts are the way to go.

ROUGH Country does not last nor does it ride good. Suspension is the item to not go cheap on or you will pay for it. Bilstein 5100's and Eibach struts are the best lower cost option that are good value. They will ride nice and last.
