Hey everyone, over the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday weekend next week I will be installing a 2" Rough Country front leveling kit on my 2018 4wd truck and wondered if anyone had tips, suggestions, information on doing so that they would not mind sharing? I have been searching the forum here and have some threads bookmarked for reference and am just trying to gather as much information as possible into one place to help things go as smoothly as they can since I will be doing so myself in my garage (hopefully I can get the truck to fit in diagonally to stay warm)

Tools used / suggested but not used / time expected / hints / tips are all things I am hoping to learn from this.

I did check the How-To/Suspension section but did not find anything yet for my model year, so hopefully I can provide that after doing so myself

Much appreciate everyone's suggestions and information in advance

 

 

Shoot (4wd) should have specified (edited/added) and thank you Jfabes

 

Watch stage 3 motorsports how to video on Youtube. It took me little over an hour to do mine but I have done several in the past.

 

Thank you Brad2013FX4 I appreciate that and am watching it now.

 

 

 

This is my story to a T.
Took some time to determine sizes etc and learn. Second side was rather easy then

 

If you decide to pull the axle nut off to give you more clearance be real careful when re installing. I would highly recommend to NOT pull the axle nut off unless you have a vacuum pump to re install the IWE actuator properly.

If you do happen to miss-align the axle, IWE actuator and hub then its very easy to destroy the actuator.

Ask me how I know.


Now pulling the axle nut does give the LCA more droop which does make it much easier to get everything back in. It isnt necessary as I did one side without removing the axle nut.

 

Thank you smokeXC I appreciate that and hope to have/learn which sizes I will need as well
