Rough Country 2" Leveling kit with Stock wheels/tires

[akbrener]

I put up pictures when this kit was first installed and honestly that photo sucked. Just thought I would throw these up to let anyone interested in this kit get good angles of how it sits.

Perfect kit for anyone not wanting to go with bigger tires, or having to get bigger tires to fill the gap that a CCM or other 2.5" kit would produce (nothing against those)

Very nice! Thanks for the update. I'm thinking of installing a 1.5" front leveling kit on my wife's Yukon since I'm sticking with the stock 17" wheels for now.

Looks higher in the front. Did the kit come with a spacer for the rear coils?

 

[akbrener]

It looks a higher in the front than it really is, but the measurement is 1/4" higher in the front

man it looks great! i really like it with the factory wheels!

Looks good. I'm loving my kit.

 

[Rough Country]

are you going to a larger tire or stick with factory? very sharp either way!

 

[akbrener]

once these tires wear out I may go up just one size, maybe a 275/60 I do not want to sacrafice fenderwells or gas mileage too much

Just got the 2 inch rough country put on like the original poster. I think it looks great. Should I throw on 18s wrapped in 285s? Not sure yet.

Also got the smart start from Viper. Man I love it.

Swamp and brener- did you two look at the rough country 3.5" lift? I've been debating whether to do the 2" leveling kit or the 3.5" lift. I kinda feel like if I'm gonna do it might as well go big or go home. I just don't know if the stock 20's will look kinda funny with the 3.5" lift. Any thoughts?

Goto give you two props on the trucks as well. They look sick.

I have looked at the 3.5 kit, the big reason I did not go that route yet is because the tires were brand new when I bought the 20s. I just wanted to get rid of the awful rake. But for $70 bucks it is not a big loss if I decide to upgrade. I am also 2WD.

I will probably step up to 275/60/20s when the time comes for tires if I do not get the 3.5.

I do not think the stock 20s will look too bad with the 3.5, I think there is at least one person on here with the stock wheels on a 3.5 or even 4" lift.

Rough Country 2" Kit 285's???

Can I actually run 285/70/R17 with the Rough Country 2" Leveling Kit?
Any issues with rubbing front? or rear?

Two of my buddies run 285s with the 2 inch rough country. One has a z71 and the other has a SLT Yukon. They both look amazing. One wrapped stock 20s in 285s and the other did XD hoss 17x9 and wrapped em with terra grapplers.

They have no rub.

I don't think the 3.5 is necessary for 285s, but it wouldn't hurt.

I'm a 2WD and I wanna just keep stock wheels and tired for now. That's the main reason I only did 2 inch level.

Hey swamp, How is your ride by the way?
Im still debating whether or not to go rough country route. It seems to be the cheapest kit, other than CCM or ready lift. So much to choose from, just don't know what is best.

Nice truck by the way OP

I just installed the RC 2" on my wife's TX ed, LT. We had new tires installed right after and we stuck with the stock size.

I also posted an install thread of this kit for anyone needed.

Ride is smooth. Just as good as ever if not better because I like the way it rides with the front a little higher.

Anyone have a similar leveling kit on a 2001 tahoe?
