Like mine so far I did do an add a leaf in the rear since i got 2.5 inch's of lift which left no rake at all .I think it rides better then stock, on some big bumps when the suspension drops fast you can feel its kinda harsh over all i like it way better looks wise and ride

Here’s where I can maybe provide a helpful review for the forum. A leveling kit was a certainty, I didn’t want to do the puck kits. I’ve done a few before, but wanted to do something a little different. I thought about going with the Fox setup (very nice, but I’m not doing THAT much off-roading), looked at Rancho’s quicklift (the lifetime warranty was nice, but I read many reviews of shocks leaking after a year), and Bilstein (I didn’t want to go through the hassle with the spring compressor and taking apart the stock setup). I happened across Rough Country’s leveling strut setup. Looks like a new setup, pricing wasn’t bad, and came with a 3 year warranty. Part number for the 2014-2019 trucks is 50068, pic below for reference. From what I can gather, these are recent in the market. I have already ordered them and they are supposed to ship on September 24th. I will update with my review on install and first impressions. Also will update as tires get put on and measurements with the Rough country kit. Stay tuned!

Had the RC leveling struts installed today along with Wildpeak AT3W in 275/70r18 on my 2017 Screw. First impression after about 25 miles of driving is that the truck rides sightly more firm, which I like. No more floatiness like I had with the OEM set up. Have rears that I'll install this weekend.
It's raining and drizzly here today, so I didn't get a chance to get any pics or measure the height difference from stock yet.

I just got these installed. Absolutely love them. Ride feels just like stock. Seems as of right now to be absorbing bumps / rail road tracks much better than stock.
took some rough measurements before and after from the center of the hubs.
front before was 21”
Front after was 23”
Back measures the same at roughly 23.25” to 23.5”

Are you guys seeing the premature failure on these like other folks are mentioning or are they retaining ride height? I've been seeing a few post where guys are back to factory ride height after about 18 months.
