I’ve heard rough country has come a long ways.
I almost bought the Vertex coil overs but went with ICON. If you’re going with 2” spacers any of them will work.
Have fun!

Did my 2011 F350. No regrets. Icon leveling kit. Better springs than factory. They're progressive.

Did my 2009 Silverado 1500 with a MotoFab (Made in the USA) 3" front/2" rear "pucks and blocks" kit.

Currently $123.99 on Fleabay.

No issues whatsoever 4 years later.

Always level mine. One of the first things I do. I even have a spare set of 1 1/2" spacers on the shelf...just in case. I usually end up with f150's it seems.

Yeah, have been known to mill a 1/2" off a rear lift block to make things look right. But I'm not quite that particular any more, much less have the energy.

Bought a low miles older Silverado this year that looks like it's running down hill. I won't go to a lot of trouble or expense leveling it, but it will get the front end raised up a bit with a torsion bar tweak before it gets new tires before winter. Then it will be aligned.

2009 f350, Carli leveling coils on front brought it up 1.5 inches. It was 1/2 inch off the bumpstops before that. Much better ride.

If you put a leveling kit on your your admitting it’s a car.

And if you put a load on it your headlights will fücking blind the folks coming the other way.

Leveling kits are gayer than house cats. Not quite as gayer than aids.

I put a 2” steel leveling kit on my 2020 F150 along with a 12,000lb Warn. Wound up with something slightly more level than the factory rake, but not level. Countered the front sag from the winch, plus a bit. Dead level is a bad idea in a truck that will tote any load. Mine now sits fairly level with 800-1000lbs in the bed.


Now with even more aplomb

At least it wasn’t a fàg in a Subaru lol. That’d be damned shameful thing to put in a headstone.

Most leveling kits make the truck look like the front end is too high.... the older I get, the more I just want to leave chit alone.

I used adjustable Rough Country struts on the front to raise it about 1 1/2". I replaced the factory 1 1/2" block on the rear axle with a 3" block to keep the same rake as factory. Everything is just about 1 1/2" taller front and rear. It's not obvious it's been lifted and I like that. I don't haul a ton of heavy stuff, but when I do, or when I tow I don't want my headlights pointing at the sky.


Most people don't really want the truth.

They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

If you level, do upper control arms as well. You will knock the upper ball joints out if you dont. Been there

My truck works for a living, so no level for me. Last thing I need is a Carolina squat everytime I put something in the back.
The rake is there for a reason.

Just got my house leveled today. The truck will have to wait.
