Extra large truck nuts on the back. Weighs it down enough to level the front.

How much should I expect to pay to get a rough country 2 inch level kit installed?

Bilstein 5100s

Not available yet for new body style.

I went with AutoSpring, 2.5". They provide an offset to allow full articulation without contacting coil spring.



From center of hub to fender well, the front sits 1/2" lower than rear. Gives a perfectly level look like I wanted.
(I don't tow much at all).

2" RC. Don't try to install it yourself unless you have the right tools. Getting the bottom of the strut back into the A arm is a pain.

Just take the kit to any regular old car shop and tell you'll give em $100 plus alignment to put it in.

I know everyone says you don't notice a difference in ride, but my last two leveled trucks were noticeably rougher after the 2.5 level. Is it the same thing with this kit?

I've been waiting on the 5100s, but I've also heard when you crank them all the way up it's a worse ride than the level kit.

I'll be doing the same eventually to my 2016

down to RC 2.5 level kit or the Bilstein 5100s (by time I'm ready the 5100s may be out)

I hear the 5100 is the better option but is it really that much better for the price? Just slap on the 5100 shocks and that is it?

They do make 5100s for the 14 and 15-16 now. I plan on taking my 2" spacer lift off and putting them on.

Also cajuncommander the kit is easy to put on...took me and a buddy about an hour. Need a nice size crowbar to get strut back in then bolt it back to a Arm.
