I'm running Rough Country on 2 different pickups and haven't had a single problem. One of them since around 2012 and the other for about a year and a half.

All the research I did for my F150 pointed me to AutoSpring.

No autospring for a 2500hd. I'll look at Rough Country.

I have the Bilstein's on my Land Cruiser. I like them. I'll have to look at that too.

A SAS would be perfect.

I've had these on my Silverado 1500 since 2011 with no issues.

Wasn't meant that way. It really isn't anything special.

I have a 15 Chevy 2500hd too. I put 35’s on it and dropped the rear. It will clear 35’s stock. I dropped the rear 2” with mcgaughys shackles. If you’re trying to bring the front up some, look at the zone adventure series.

Each truck brand has their cheap lifts. All have been named above.

By far, the best GM leveling kit comes from Cognito though.

I have a rough country on my 2011 Silverado. It’s the 3” with the differential drop. I would recommend you look at which one is going to be easiest on your front end angles.
If I could go back and redo it I would buy their leveling shocks, their forged control arms with the corrected angles, and the differential drop. I recently had to change my ball joints and before that, I didn’t really understand that most leveling kits put those joints in a bind. Good luck!

Never knew they made leveling kits. It would be pretty tough to beat that kit.

Don't forget to adjust the headlights.

Leveling it will make it ride like crap. Spend a little more and lift it. BDS or CST 4 inch lift with Fox 2.0 shocks will ride very nice. Speaking from personal experience. I am running 295/65/20 on stock wheels; they are 35x11.50.
