Default leveling kit?

looking to throw a leveling kit on my 2014 stx. I have a few questions before buying a kit that id like some insight on. first of all I came from the bowtie side, we just crank the torsion bars to level so this block stuff is new to me.


im looking into a 2" level block from motofab, is this amount of lift going to make the UCA angles too steep? and anyone that has done just the 2" front, have you had any issues? my main issue is I don't ant to go through balljoints like crazy.

Things will obviously wear a little quicker any time you change the height from stock, but at 2" you're pretty safe. Tons of people running that.

I have been running on a 2" level for about a year... so far no problems. It is the safe way to go.

yeah im aware that things will wear more quickly when any geometry is changed from factory, but im trying to avoid the issues of eating through upper balljoints and cv axle boots every 3000 miles. ill keep searching around for peoples reviews.

Unless you're really wheeling it hard, you'll have no problems with a 2" level. I've had mine in for 2 years and 50,000 mi. and the front end is still nice and tight.
