But these guys seem to have done it and the product looks nice too. Have any of yall used this to boost the rear an inch, as opposed to blocks, and are there any drawbacks? This looks like a shorter arm, so would it limit suspension travel? Thanks.

very interesting. I wish I would have know about this option when wanted to bring the rear up over a block. Let us know if you go for it and if you do towing, it’s effect good/bad or none. Good luck

Lots of reviews in it. So I was surprised to have not seen it come up here. I think I will give it a shot. I can still do a mini block raise in the future if there's no ill effect and I still need it. A lot of guys reviewing added this to even 6" lifts with mega rear blocks. I don't have any rear lift yet and am doing this mostly because of the level I currently have and the frequency that the bed is full or I'm towing.

Default 2018 Lariat SE leveled

Sorry for the crappy pic but you get the idea. 2” level using bilstein 6112 and 5160. I also installed a set of Rancho upper control arms and SPC alignment bolts. Sits on 20” Venomrex 601s wrapped in General Tire Grabber ATX 33x12.5R20. I had rubbing on my weather tech mudflaps but I took a heat gun to them and bent them a bit so the tires would clear. No more rubbing.

Anyone here leveled a 2019 CC 4x4 with a diesel?

The diesel weighs about 50#’s more than the others. I think I’ll be okay with the 2” for the level… BUT I am getting a set of 20” Superduty take offs 275/65/20 which seem to be around 34”

not really interested in a lifted truck just a bolder look

What block did you use, if any, in the rear and do you have any rubbing?

yes, they also have the 6112 which is great with a 2 inch lift

Any more shots of truck, going to do the Bilsteins to my 2018 as well, just debating on the wheel offset,
Thanks

Fox 2.0 kit from Stage 3 on 2015 KR. Front was little high but after alignment all 4 corners are within 1/16" - 1/8" of each other.

80k miles and rear FX4 shocks I could compress with one hand and took about a minute to rebound......so needless to say ride is night and day better.

Best photos I could get from dreary day in GA.
