Anyone have the Traxda 1.5” leveling kit on a 2500?

Wondering if anyone has issues with it.

I’m looking to just take the front up a little bit so the truck don’t have the stink bug look.

I don’t want to level it either. So please dont recommend 2 or 2.5 kits.
If I were to level it when I hook up to my trailer it would be to low in the back. And my trailer isn’t heavy enough to warrant helper bags.

I will likely keep the 275/70 tire size maybe 295/70 at most.

Anyone have pics of similar set ups?

Got a traxda spacer on our 1500 seems fine. It don’t tow. My 2500 has thuren kit. I see no issues with using the spacer for purely aesthetics.

I think it should be ok. But shock extensions are kinda iffy.

It’s to keep the travel. If you raise it up 2” you’ll use up 2” of shock. So the extender gets it back. Other option is to go with new shocks. Or do a thuren level kit which is the real level. Spring with matching shock. But it’s not $120 that’s for sure.

It’s like $500 and will likely need a track bar so it will almost be $1000 all said and done.

Yep lol. That’s where it gets tough. Gotta decide between budget friendly or correct proper stuff. Not that spacers are bad or anything wrong with em. But they’re cheaper for a reason. Throw a spacer and shock extensions on. Run it if ya hate it you’re only out $120+- bucks then you know. I will be resolving my wife’s spacer with a true lift but this was the best route for now.

I know a few on here that have spacers. But not traxda I believe. The spacers are all similar to me so maybe @McBroom or @olyelr might have some insight. I believe they run spacers. Most just choose to do a proper spring and shock lift.

I’m using Rough Country 2.5” leveling spacer kit up front.
Works perfect! Prep and attention to details in the instructions are recommended.
I’m loving it looks awesome and if your not looking for it it’s unnoticeable.
This is on my 2500 HD 4x4

I'm running RCX leveling spacer up front. I've used RCX for year's and never had any problems. I did run traxada rear spacer on a 2015 2500 that I owned because that was the only brand I could find, maybe also have been the cheapest (non ebay/Amazon) spacer I could find also. I had no complaints about it.

Yep, I have the 1.5” spacer from Truxxx. Works just fine. But of course, some Thuren springs would be much better!

I think I’m just going to wait and buy this.
Fairly good deal considering it comes with track bar.

I have had my truck since March and only put 2900 miles on it so it’s not like I need to get it done right away lol52E29188-192D-477A-A139-216899938881.png
