Pros/Cons - Rough Country Leveling Kits...

What's everyones thoughts? 2.5-3in Leveling kit runs around $130, local shop will install and do an alignment for $250, so out the door under $400. Searching around the forum and I don't see much about Rough Country. I ran the leveling kit made by them on my gmc which was basically a plastic spacer, this kit looks a little nicer than just a plastic piece, but I'm not real knowledgeable on this stuff. Any thoughts? I know I see alot of guys running the bilsteins, but I'm guessing this is alot cheaper than the bilsteins.

 

Spacers are fine if you never leave the pavement. I got me through for a year until I could get some nice stuff.

 

If you get bump stop spacers, it won’t bend the shock... a lot of people don’t talk about that, my 5100’s actually came with bump stop spacers to install

 

All I can say is Toytec

night and day between spacer lifts and coilovers.

Go coilovers.....pay once cry once.

So this is one that alot of people steer away from?

 

As you can see, a lot of us have been the spacer route. I go off the road a lot regularly. A lot of us do. Spacers aren't that bad if you only hit the occasional dirt road. If you really spend most of the time on pavement then spacers can fill the bill. I personally don't care much for spacers but there are a hell of of people using them. Personally I'd skip the spacers and get some reasonably priced coil overs to get you the lift/leveling you want.
