Rough Country Leveling Kit

[jking23]

Hey all, looking to tackle a leveling kit install.

Will do a lift of some kind down the road, but I have brand new BFG MTs that I can’t bring myself to swap out yet.

Anyway, I bought the Rough Country leveling spacer. It was $30.

I’ve watched Eddie’s videos on the subject, but my question relates to an alignment afterwards.

I’ve read that you’re crazy if you don’t do one, I’ve read that it’s a waste of money to do one, just adjust the drag link and center the wheel.

What is the verdict here?

TIA

Any time you change your lift height, you will have to straighten the steering wheel by adjusting the drag link. Other than that, nothing to mess with. How much height is the leveling kit?

3/4”, so from my research, should be fine with OE track bar.

You won't have to mess with anything other than the drag link to recenter the steering wheel.

Awesome.

Thats what I was hoping for.

Thanks!

Just following up on this, I’m half way done and this is nowhere near as bad as that bumper install was

AND, when you get done, you'll know how to install the new coil springs when you do lift.

Oh yeah, nothing to this at all.

If anyone else is debating tackling it, you DEFINITELY can

Think the new tires will need new gears? I'm about to put 33's on with stock 3.45

33s should be totally fine as far as I know
