Hello all, so im wondering since i have the org with the factory 1” lift, if i were to install rough country’s 2” leveling strut would that be a safer way to get an extra inch in the front since they dont make a 1” strut spacer? im only asking cause i dont want to do a 2” ontop of factory 1”

Correct. The RC struts would only net you 1” of lift since you would be replacing the ORP strut/spring.

I’ve seen lots of different opinions on this 1” factory lift. I have the same ORP and I don’t believe it is lifted. If you look up ready lift products they have a disclaimer at the bottom of each product “not recommended for ORP”. They want you to measure from the center hub to wheel lip, anything over 22” -22.5” you will need less of a lift. Mine measures 22”. So I’m taking it as I don’t actually have a 1” lift and I can use the product just the same as if I didn’t have ORP.

76poptop same here. I dont believe I have 1" more lift than non ORP trucks. I want to go around the dealership with a tape measure. I'm thinking of doing the 2" spacer as I dont believe it will affect my truck anymore than a non ORP truck.

I had the same thought, walk around and take some measurements, avoiding eye contact with sales haha, on mine if I measure from the ground in the center of the wheel I end up with 37 3/8 front and 39 1/2 back so my plan is to do a 2 inch level and it should come out perfect.
