Default Leveling kit installed today!

Installed my 2.5" motofab leveling kit today. I would recommend buying motofab. Cost me like $80 shipped. Good quality. Ride stayed the same. The part that sucked the most was knocking the studs out of the bottom mount and shock.

Did you raise the back at all? Im looking at this kit as well but some of the pics make the front look taller. So Im looking at the 2" kit or the 2.5" kit with a bigger block in the back

I have the motofab 2" spacer with superspring overload springs in the rear. I think the overload springs added 1/2" to the rear over stock. Overall I have 3/4" - 1" of rake, if I didn't have the overload springs it would be 1/2" rake. I thought about doing the 2.5" motofab but I wanted to keep some rake due to getting a camper here soon.

Looks great, just bought the same kit for my 2017. Did you have to remove the axle to get the strut in and if so did you use a vacuum when putting it back in? I keep seeing this come up with others but most of the instructions say nothing about it.

I did a 2.5" motofab level a couple days ago after buying my 2017... I seen everyone talking about how hard it was and so on. I personally thought it was easy to put on, like the original poster said the hard part was driving the studs out of the strut. After a few whacks and no movement I went to the toolbox and got a 3lb sledge and they came right out...as the old saying goes "sometimes you just need a bigger hammer"

275/55R20. I'm going to 275/60R20 when these wear out. It sucks cause these are brand new and they have alot of life left. I might try to sell them if I can talk the wife into it. I re measured my truck today after it settled down and I'm about an 1 1/8" - 1 1/4" rake on the drivers side. passenger side is 1", I'm guessing it's higher cause of the full tank of fuel.
