Rough country

Just amazed at how far my front spring had sagged. Before installation my front wheel well was 5.5 inches lower than my rear, now after installing the rough country 2.5" spring leveling kit which replaced the leaf springs with 5 spring packs and the shocks and track bar, I am .5 inches lower in the front!!! Great kit for 300.00 but man was it a pain to install 4.5 hours.

Now waiting for stimulas check too get new wheels and tires.

Wow....a 5" lift from a 2.5" spring pack. Does the truck look low in the rear now?

Was that from Rough Country....I would be major upset.

When I was first done I thought the back was low, but it is not, it measures a full 1/2 inch higher in the back......PERFECT.

they were rough country springs i'm not too happy either, the good news is if you have a problem with the springs with in a year they'll replace them free but i would imagine that would get pretty old after the second time
