2.5" motofab Install Photos

andrewb24 · November 19, 2020

I took off my 2" Rough Country lower strut kit and installed the 2.5" motofab upper which was a pain in the a&$ doing by myself. I also installed a 1" block in the back awhile back. Here are some after pics finally.

Shouldve waited til I washed it but you cant see the dirt lol thats why I got a white truck.

Why did you remove the rough country lower strut kit? I ask because I am looking into doing the same to my RST and was looking at the lower strut kit from rough country for the easy install.

Looks great BTW. Kinda wishing I had gone white but went with satin steel metallic myself.

I tried the motofab 1.5" front lower shock spacer and it pushed the shock against the cv boot. Seems like some trucks rub and others don't.

The lower kit is real close to CV axle and also wanted the extra .5" after adding 1" in the back. My next color choice was satin steel metallic.

What was the difference between the front and back height from the factory? My 2020 RST seems to only have a 1 inch drop in the front. (From the ground to the top of the fender is 37.5" front and 38.5" rear) I was considering going with the 2 inch Ready Lift in the front and a 1 inch block in the rear to keep it level. It seems like the rake seems to differ from truck to truck.

I didnt take a measurement when it was stock. But it was .5" higher in back with the 2" rough country in front and 1" block in back. Havent measured difference with the 2.5" motofab kit.
