Review: ABSOLUTELY PLEASED!! WELL WORTH IT!!! - Title says it all!! Tonight I finished installing my 2" Rough Country leveling kit that I got off of desertcart for $66 with shipping. Must I say after a 30 minute drive home IM PLEASED... EXTREMELY PLEASED.. I love my truck too much to mess something up and didnt wanna spend the money for professionals to do it but I figured what the heck, 100% bolt on no special tools required but 1 wrench (15mm), 2 deep sockets (15mm & 18mm) , a crescent wrench, and a 7/32 allen wrench. Lets proceed. First off the kit comes with 2 spacers, 4 bolts, 8 washers, 4 nuts, instructions, rough country advertising sticker, and a yellow rough country warning sticker to put either on the inside of the door alongside the other factory spec sticker(s), in the glove box, or in the engine compartment; choice is yours but its bright and notifies anyone working on the truck or future owner that there is a modification. Now on to my clarifications for ease of installment. I followed the youtube video "2010 Rough Country Leveling Kit Install" TO THE TEE! However when trying to pry the strut up there was an extreme amount of pressure and it just felt as though someone was gonna get hurt. Didnt feel normal. Well after about an hour of trying to watch every moving part while prying and also trying to observe what is happening as well as "what needs to happen" ..FINALLY WE SPOTTED THE PROBLEM... we noticed one important step missing in the video instructions that would make the install go from 1.5 hours to 20 minutes tops GUARANTEED, WHICH IS JUST OUR OPINION. But if somehow you were able to get it by watching the video in this post and following those steps then most likely your here reading this because you broke something or messed something up and want to know of that easier way you could have done it. In the video they stated loosening and leaving the sway bar bolt loose. For us this was humanly impossible to pry the strut far enough away from the lower control arm to slip the spacer in safely. We simply unscrewed the top nut and removed it completely from the sway bar but left the bolt in place. Giving you MUCH more room to move strut up and down. Next we easily picked the strut up away from the control arm and placed the spacer in place and wiggled the pry bar back and forth to align holes to accept bolts. We used a small vertical hydraulic jack to crank the lower control arm up to allow bolt for sway bar to protrude through enough for nut to catch. Your also going to need the 7/32 allen to keep the ball joint from spinning when tightening your control arm nut. Also FYI the other side took us 12 minutes TIMED!!! Trust me just just remove the to nut completely from the sway bar. Now that we are finished and see the bigger picture of what we needed to do I consider this install a very very simple install probably a 2 or 3 out of 5 on a 10 scale of difficulty. Going check alignment first thing in the morning hope you all find this post helpful. I don't ever post on anything but figured my two cents may save someone an hour of daylight. PLEASE GIVE THUMBS UP IF THIS REVIEW HELPED IN ANY WAY! Thanks God bless. Update 4/5/2017: Since I first wrote this article, I have since installed this kit on 3 separate trucks that I've owned: 2011 Chevrolet Silverado LT 2WD, 2011 GMC Yukon SLT 2WD, and 2008 GMC Sierra SLE. All were equally easy and came out nice! Rough Country is the way to go! Dont settle for anything less!! Other brands have packaging issues, broken parts, missing pieces, uneven bolts, misthreaded bolts, unthreaded bolts, etc... Rough Country has an unmatched Quality Control department that ensures correct blemish free products. Uploaded before/after photos for your viewing pleasure Keep in mind this product is Rough Country SKU 1307 which is for Cast Steel. The Rough Country SKU 1308 is for Cast Aluminum or Stamped Steel. Steel Cast Control Arms Steel control arms are offered on 2007-up models and have a BLACK finish. A magnet will stick to steel arms. Aluminum Cast Control Arms Aluminum control arms are offered on 2014-up models and have a GRAY finish. A magnet will NOT stick to aluminum arms. Stamped Steel Control Arms Stamped Control Arms are offered on 2016-up models and feature welded seams, a rounded steel construction, and a concave sway bar pocket. They have a BLACK finish and a magnet will also stick to stamped arms.
Review: Easy install - Took just over an hour to install both sides. The truck sits nice now. Good quality materials, bolts have enough length. I disconnected the sway bar links and was able to push the rest of the suspension components down by putting my body weight on top of the caliper and pushing down to get the bracket under the strut. Then I loaded the washer on the bolts and wiggled the strut until the bolts went through the holes. My truck is a 2012 Sierra from Texas, so there's no rust. I still sprayed PB blaster on the bolts and nuts to avoid issues

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this fix my chevy lean, my driver side is lower than the passenger side?**
A: Get a bigger passenger

**Q: Will it affect the milage that it gets?**
A: No, however my truck is supposed to get 19 highway, but only gets 17. Trucks aren't meant to be fuel efficient anyways.

**Q: Am I going to need an alignment after installing the spacers?**
A: Yes, you will need alignment.

**Q: Why does it say its a 2" lift if it only messures 1"? Does it really pick it up 2" even tho its only a 1"?**
A: The ratio of lift to spacer thickness is not one to one. Due to the design of the independent suspension of the truck, when you extend the strut by 1-1/4" (for 2" lift), 1-5/8" (for 2.5" lift) or 1-3/4” (for 3" lift) the angle of the strut becomes steeper allowing the truck to experience approximately 2", 2.5" or 3” of lift, respectively. It is the combination of extending the strut and the change in angle that gives the full lift. Once the kit is properly installed and you have the truck aligned, you will see the lift you expect. Remember that the installation is not complete until you have the truck aligned

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Looks great on truck
*by T***M on July 29, 2023*

The Rough Country leveling kit proved to be an excellent addition to my truck, providing both aesthetic and functional benefits. Once installed, it gave my truck a clean and attractive level appearance, enhancing its overall look. The installation instructions provided were clear and easy to follow, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free process. I was impressed with the solid construction of the leveling kit, which felt durable and capable of withstanding rough driving conditions. However, a drawback I encountered was that the installation process was a bit challenging to do alone. Having an extra set of hands would have been beneficial, especially during certain steps that required more assistance. Despite this minor inconvenience, the leveling kit lived up to its promises and transformed the appearance of my truck, making it a worthwhile purchase for truck owners seeking a level and appealing stance.
