2” Rough Country front leveling strut kit

[Echance01]

Just saw this on Rough Country's website and I couldn’t find a thread on this yet. Anyone using this? Thoughts/opinions on going this route versus the 2” ReadyLift kit with UCA’s?

Looks like maybe they are competing with bilstien on this one. Although these aren’t adjustable

Just did the online chat to ask about these and attached their response...

If you look the reviews are based on that product for all makes And models, not just the 2019 ram. So that’s a little deceiving but I know they have been making these and coil overs for other models for awhile now.

Makes sense then. I'm definitely interested in them, especially with the slow delay in Bilsteins for us.

So is the “better” way to level a truck? Trying to understand why someone would go this route versus the spacers?

Better struts(improved ride) with leveling height versus stock struts with leveling spacers.

Got it...and if someone goes this route would the recommendation also be to change out the UCA’s?

I believe most will say yes, but it's really dependent on whether or not you would use offroad or not.

Someone dump $300 bills and get these tested.
Should provide a better ride over spacers.

I would if I could do my own alignments. Someone should call rough country and ask for a free pair to advertise them on the forum here lol

tempted....

If I had the means to change them out, I definitely would call them. I'm sure they'll cut someone a generous break to promote these on here.

My question is could you use this on the front combined with a 2" motofab spacer and new UCA's, stick 2" rear spacers on with the new RC V2 3-4.5" rear shocks to achieve a budget 4" level lift? Or would the diff have to be lowered?

The diff has to be lowered.

The diff has to be lowered.

Same if stepping down to 3" total? I know I should probably just wait for a 4" kit but I'm impatient lol

 

[SilverSurfer15]

Kind of a Grey area, your “best” bet at the moment IMO is to get these, a 1” top spacer from the older trucks, and the readylift UCA.

*Assuming these are factory length struts*

A better route really is just buy the 6” kit, don’t use the preload spacer and run it around 5”. Or even swap in a 4” strut spacer from the previous gen trucks. And use a 2” rear spacer.

I've seen about a metric crap load of posts complaining about the quality of Rough Country lift kits. Any reason to believe their struts would be any better?

My thoughts exactly. Jump on any Jeep forum and you'll learn all about the (mostly) garbage RC puts out. Poorly valved shocks, sagging springs, poor welds, etc. I wouldn't run these for free.
