2" RC leveling spacers

tim5779 · January 4, 2019

So as we all know the RC spacers dont give you a true level. Most dont want it because it makes the truck look like its sagging in the back. However, I installed mine and to my surprise the front is still 1.5" lower than the back. Anyone else see these numbers? Question number 2: Ebay sells spacers for the top of the strut assembly. I found some that are 3/8" thick which I'm thinking should bring me up to right about where I want to be. I dont want a true level, but within an inch would be nice. Does anyone know of any negative side affects with combining this 3/8 thick spacer with the rough country? Thanks fellas!

You are essentially talking about doing the RC 2.5" without putting the blocks in the back. I did that and my front and rear are within an inch now. I love the look! And to answer your question, no, there are no negative side effects.

Keep in mind the RC 2.5" leveling kit is the normal 2" bottom spacers with the .5" top spacer for the front.

I have the 2 inch lower strut spacer. Cheap but very well made. Ride is great. Zero issues. Left me with about 1 inch of rake in the back which I wanted.

Sweet! That's exactly what I wanted to know.

I am running the 2” RC front kit only. Looks good/rides good

I believe adding the 3/8" spacer is not worth the effort and cost. A 1.5" or 2" level will give you a perceived improvement in visual appearance and are friendly to other suspension components. To many a "true level" looks high in the front and actually will be when you put any load in the bed. I suggest keeping the 2" as is and if you're not happy invest in a proper lift kit.
