Rough Country Leveling Kit - Feedback Anyone

[Randt26]

I am about to put in the rough country leveling kit (front 2.5 front/1 rear). Anyone have any feedback out there, opinion, other directions I should be looking at something different? I realize everyone likes different things but I'm just looking for a slight lift, however do not want any wear and tear issues which is everything i'm reading about leveling kits on '14's. Truck will be used a ton to tow a 19' boat.

I had that for about a year. They gave me a horrible ride and noisy going over bumps. Had them removed and put the bilsteins on and the ride is a ton better and no loud clunks when I go over bumps. Hope you have better luck with yours.

Did you run the older kit or the newer style? The old one used 2.5" spacers that go on top of the front strut. The new one uses a coil spring spacer that increases preload to achieve lift.

The old one is a terrible design - but the new one doesn't look bad on paper. Haven't seen anyone try it yet, though.

I have the RC leveling kit on my truck, I tow a 17ft bass boat often and the kit still leaves enough rake to level out perfect in tow. The level kit makes my truck look a little beefier put still keeps the stock manners I loved when I bought it, any other questions just ask.

My kit was the newer one from RC.

I have the newer one, it rides great, looks awesome. I would suggest it to anyone.

I have the 2.5" leveling spacers that are listed on their site for $129. I don't see the coil spring spacers on their site. Am I looking in the right spot?

What size tires are you running?? I'm putting the rough country kit in my truck next weekend, want to stuff some 33' grapplers under it. Running 275/60 wranglers now.

the nice thing about rough country is they are always upgrading their designs, I had a 6inch lift from them and I destroyed it.. they warrantied it no questions asked, I was stoked!

I have had the old style 2.5" on my 2011 Ram for about 20000 miles. No problems so far. Left the 1" spacers off th back so it would sit level without a load in back. Love it.

Yes. Looks like somewhere between $15-20. Call it $65 total and I'll get them out to you.

That's using FedEx, I'm sure I can probably get it for under 10 using USPS. I can do $60.
