For those considering just a front level with OEM wheels and tires, here’s before and after pictures of Rough Country 2” spacers installed yesterday.

Cash, I have a 17 KR with 2" RC. I am almost perfectly level. Yours seems to have a slight rake yet....1" or so.
True? I would like to get an inch or a bit more rake back. Going to look at 2.25 or 2.5" blocks...seems like that would get a +1 or 1.25 back

installed the 12.5/11.5-20 ridge grapplers on factory wheel. No rubbing issues. I have the ready lift 2.25” up front
extremely quiet. Working on air pressure to get that hopping gone. At 45, hitting ridge or Lil bumps w throw the rear out to side. 38 in front, 35 in front has calmed it down

Finally got around to doing my 2.5 leveling kit this past weekend. Had the alignment done today, so I went ahead and broke out the tape measure to see the final results. (Measuring from the ground to the center of the stock fender flares) Stock was Front- 37 1/8" & Rear- 40 5/8". After the leveling kit and alignment, Front- 39 7/8" & Rear- 40 1/4". So I ended up with 2 3/4" of lift in the front and went down 1/2" in the rear. This gave me the perfect level look I wanted. Very happy with the results.

22x12 Hostile wheels come next week. I should have them on next weekend!
