Hey everyone I'm looking to at least level my 1500 rwd bighorn and kinda on the fence between maxtrac 2.5" coils and shocks or the rough country 2" coils and shocks. The price difference is about and extra 65 for the maxtrac kit through Ebay, my truck sits about 2" lower in the front than in the rear which means I'll probably be running at least 1.5" rear coil spacers to offset any squatting from the "leveling" haha
My questions to everyone who has had experience with either of the mentioned kits are
How good is the ride? Considering how biased we are when upgrading parts haha
Does it ride like factory?
Should I go with just either set of just coils and get different brand shocks?
What type of rear shock do you recommend as well?
I will be doing the whole front end and posibly rear bushings since the truck has 150k and even though she rides smooth I understand the amount of stress the leveling will put on the suspension parts.
I'm setting her up so I can install a set of ion 184 series in the 20x9 configuration, I don't know the offset on the wheels as the seller didn't know but they where on a 2008 rwd wrangler with no lift of any kind and the 33x12.50R20 repulsor tires have no signs of rubbing.
The only configuration I have found for this wheel that has the 5x5 bolt pattern while being 20x9 are either 0 offset or -18, I understand 0 offset is like factory wheels and that normally a -12 offset is good but haven't really found much on -18.
Although I'm inclined to think that by the looks on the fitment on the Wrangler these are the 0 offset ones.
Attached a picture of my Ram and the Wrangler with my "new" wheels lol.
Any input WILL be appreciated.
