I am looking to add 2 inches or at least 1 to the front of my truck. I currently have a 6 inch suspension and a 3 inch body. I have a 1500 and is a 2015 RWD. Ive been having trouble finding any sort of leveling struts or anything. I recently installed Zone off-road UCA's and once I purchased them I realized they sold the "Adventure Series" which comes with 2 inch spacers. Could I just go with any 2 inch strut spacers? Or any ideas?

2wd does not use struts. You cannot mix 2wd and 4wd lifting lift components. You are very limited. Your best option would be to swap to the maxtrac 7” lift over the rough country 6”.

It looks like the rough country kit is 4” from the knuckles and 2” from the spring. The maxtrac kit is 4.5” from the knuckle and 2.5” from the spring. The rough country kit you may be able to go a 1/2” more but I wouldn’t push it. The rough country kit may not be able to handle any more lift to begin with. 2” more is a lot in terms of adding lift. The only way I can see you going more lift is to go custom because you’ll need drop brackets for the lower control arms which would also require drop brackets for the upper control arms as well or longer knuckles

Based on his Avatar, pretty sure it's only lifted in the front.
Have never seen one of those 'lift the front-squat the rear' trucks, in real life, so not sure.

Personally, I'm glad My Generation had to do Death Defying stuff to get our kicks.
