Finally got it leveled with RC 2" level kit with 295/70/18 Nitto Terra Grapplers G2s on Mayhem Rampage +18 offset....no rubbing or modifications done

 

 

Looks good!

 

2" Rough Country Level with 1" rear block, 20x9 +20 Fuel Kranks. 295/60/20 Nitto Ridge Grappler. No rubbing and am really happy with the setup.

 

Trying to understand leveling kits...

So if you get a 2" level in the front, what would the difference in rake be then?

Why get a level kit and blocks in the back, wouldn't that negate the level?

What is the benefit or reason for blocks in the rear?

Thanks,

Same same. The only possible difference would be if the stroke of the strut is different it could allow more (or less) travel. More droop than the factory strut with a puck (which just pushes down the whole assembly) could make the angles worse.

 

My truck from factory had 2.75" of rake. With my 2" coilover upfront now stands with a 3/4" rake. Not too noticeable, but a 2.5" up front should give you a nearly level stance front to back. Some install blocks with the front level suspension because they still want a slight rake, but the front higher, they can fit bigger tires with correct backspacing (rub issues) and bigger stance.

 

Ahh, so the level and blocks together provide an oppertunity for bigger tires. Cool. Thanks!

Does just a 2" level in the front provide that opportunity for bigger tires without rub?

 

Yes with correct wheel backspacing.

 

So it would be optimal to have less backspacing?
