Kryptonite leveling products

Does any one on the forum run the Kryptonite stage 3 leveling kit with fox shocks? If so what is your opinion on the kit. Good buy or waste of money?

My truck is a 2018 silverado custom double cab. 4.3 V6

I was seriously considering that kit. Seemed like a good kit and the price seemed reasonable. Then I decided I wanted adjustable ride height shocks. The ones in that kit are not adjustable on the truck. You need to go up one more level in the Fox lineup for on truck adjustables.

Sorry, that was wrong. I looked at the package again, and they are the IFP shocks, so they are ajustable on the truck. Those shock go $490 each and the rears are $170 each and the arms are $500 for a pair if you buy it all separate, so $1820 total. That makes $1700 for get package pretty good. It would cost an extra $420 on top of the individual prices to go up to the 2.5 coil overs.

Heads up you'll need spacers or new wheels with their UCA's. Their rep recommended 4.5in of backspacing to me. Ride and look great

What wheel size and offset did you go with on your truck or did you go with the spacers?

I can confirm this. I did a 2.5” level and Kryptonite control arms and the stock wheels rub the control arm at about half lock of the wheel.

I went from stock 18s to XD844 Pikes at 20x9 0 offset. Just ordered some small spacers for the front. I feel like the wheels might touch the arms at full lock at certain angles. If I had to do it over I'd go with the Readylift UCA's and tap grease zerks into the bushing housings

I like the Kryptonite UCA's, but its just been a bit of a pain

For those that had rub with stock wheels, were they the 18" or the 20" wheels? Maybe it doesn't matter, but just curious.

My stock were 18s, but considering I still have slight rub on 20s with 0 offset I guarantee stock 20s will have major rubbing
