Leveling kit?

Thanks!!

Yea, it's "technically" a level kit, but it uses 3" spacers on top of the front coil springs and a 1" block on the back leaf springs. I knew it would ride a little rougher than factory but it's worse than I thought. It's a Rough Country kit, so I think I'm gonna change to a ReadyLift SST. Supposedly, the mounting bracket extensions in the SST kit keep the factory geometry the same and is supposed to ride at least as well as factory if not better. I may just have to wait a little while though...lol. $$$$

I have the same exact kit. My ride didn't change any.

I love the stance. Good looking rig!!!

Ok, just so I'm sure, you have the ReadyLift SST kit and your ride didn't change? If so, I'm definitely going to change mine. Up to this point, I've only "read" that it doesn't change the ride, but if you're verifying it then I'm sold.

No sir. I have the rough country. It didn't change my ride.
I looked at the SST kit but couldn't justify the money at the time. Now I'm thinking of putting a 6" under it and going with 38s.

So did you change shocks for the added length between upper mounting bracket and lower mounting bracket? I tend to think that's why mine rides rougher...the shocks are extended and have less "travel." Of course, I'm just guessing.

Wow...a 6" and 38s will look sweet! Post some pics when/if you get it done...

I actually used the kit that came with a rear add a leaf and new shocks. It was 300 bucks I think. I already had 35's under it with no issue but wanted the bigger stance.

My truck is also deleted and tuned running 5" exhaust.
I'll post up pics for sure. 38's are about as big as you can go before changing the gear ratios.

Maybe I'll try new shocks...that might be easier and less expensive than an entire new kit. They're stock shocks anyway, and the truck isn't an FX4 so no Rancho or Fox.

I'm definitely going to delete mine once the warranty is out... I just have to find the right exhaust/muffler combo as I don't want it louder than it is and I have zero interest in "rolling coal." Lol...it's fine for those who enjoy it; just not my thing. I want to do it for the long-term benefits: maintenance, performance, and fuel mileage.

Thirty-eights would be awesome, but I also pull a 5th wheel camper occasionally. I think there's a place when it would become too much for my particular set-up. What I added is Fuel Forged 22x10s with Toyo Open Country AT 35x12.5s. I'll probably go a little more narrow on the tires next time around (just to minimize the debris thrown onto the side of the truck), but I like this look right now.
