Who installed their leveling kit? Preferably 2014s
Correct me if I’m wrong but the 2014 model is a bit more difficult for a leveling kit install than previous years.
That being said, who did the install themselves and how did it go?

I did mine on my 2013 4wd, not too hard. from what understand the 2014 has a different way the bottom of strut attaches. I think you have to swap sides with the coils but 100% not sure. someone will chime in

2014 uses the suspension from the 2015+

A few hours in my garage, an extra set of hands, and this youtube video (and I'm not very mechanically inclined). I didn't need to loosen the lower control arm nuts as the struts weren't that hard to remove with a small pry bar. Took some solid bashing with a small sledge to remove the strut bolts.

I did a 2.5" MaxTrac on a 14. It was tight and pretty difficult. I am a pretty good wrench and had to figure out a way to get more clearance to get the strut back in. I wound up removing the strut lower mount studs. I have a thread here about it. I didn't swap sides or turn mine and they went back in fine

Disconnected my sway bar, pulled the Front axle out, disconnect the ball joints, put a little pressure on the lower A arm(Some one else with a cheater bar) and my new struts rotated right in installing the bottom first.
