Anyone installed Rough Country 1" leveling kit?

[TootieQuivers]

Here are some before and after pics for the 1" RC leveling kit for my badlands. Hard to get the vehicle in the same spot with same camera angle but from the measurements it was 7.25" from the wheel to the fender and is now at just shy of 8.25".

First time installing a level myself. Ran into some challenge every step of the way figuring stuff out on the first side then the second side only took an hour or so.

It looks so good. Mine is going on tomorrow, hoping for the same results. Not sure why it wouldn't be though.

The change is subtle but looks a lot better. Good looking rig there.

Awesome and thank you! I had the RC 1" level on while I had 35s and they were great but I have since installed the 2.25" front / 1.25" rear Wild Horses 4x4 perch collars w/ 37s.

I actually didn't feel like my front was as level as the perch collar kit should have made it (perhaps with the added winch weight in the front) but luckily I still had the RC spacers and used the lower ones to add just enough to level out the front.

Good luck with the install!

The color combo on the green and gold is killer. CJC Off Road did a Ram with a Carli lift and the same color combination that I was in love with.

My plan is to put the GRT Off Road perch lift on mine in a year or so. I driver 40-50 miles a day right now and just assume put some miles on it as is before doing that. I will end up getting a little Ranger to drive back and forth to work and that's when I will pull that trigger.

I am going to go with the Fifteen 52 wheels and 37 Ko2 I think.

Basically this but Race Red and black wheels.

Any option for keeping the rake with a slight lift? Trying to decide how to slightly raise my non-sasquatch Badlands to accomodate 35"s on a set of sasquatch wheels that I acquired, but I would prefer to keep the rake as I sometimes tow, etc.

It seems to be easy to bring the front up 1" but to bring the rear up everything is a larger lift and still seems to include a level...

Did you ever figure out a solution for this?

With 1.5” perch collars and 1“ RC front level kit, and a winch plus heavy armor. I’m now adding 1” or 2” RC top hat spacer to rear to do what you are referring to -restore rake and get a little lift for loading up gear.

IMHO, the leveling lift is fine and dandy and all - until you put people in the rear seats and heavy enough cargo in the rear, plus if you go up tire size and get an E load, look for 15 plus pounds on the spare. I personally don't mind a bit of a front rake - which should be level with everything that can go in the back.

As a test run before putting the perch hardware on, I’m trying a spring spacer.

Durashock B+ size, about 1.75”. A cheapo way to test what top hats will do and get better everyday ride/look. Looks better to me and rides more planted on turns. Not made for a loaded-out road trip though. So when I get my next big project done at the 4x4 shop before my next adventure, I’ll have them put in the 2” top hats have waiting.
