Leveling Kit Issue
Hey Guys and Gals,
So I picked up a '15 model XLT 2wd when they came out because I couldn't resist. I didn't want to pony up 50k for all the bells and whistles so I opted for an economical purchase with plans of doing a few things to make it "mine".
First stop, Rough Country 2" leveling kit. I get the front torn apart and get the spacer on top of the strut, and that was it. The studs they provided were 10mm according to them and those didn't fit the 3/8" thread that Ford installs on the strut mount. I contacted RC and they told me to return it then, period. They offered to send new studs (10mm) but I dont think a solo trip through the mail will make them fit. Has anyone else had an issue installing one of these kits? I'll be returning this one and I guess a $100 customer isn't important to their big picture. So with that said, I'll also take suggestions on a reputable place to by my kit.

Got a picture of the kit?
The kits I've installed come with new nuts. You put the spacer on and use the factory nuts to hold it to the strut. Then use the new nuts on the studs in the spacer after you get the strut back I place.
