Should have listened to Tony...

I got my '15 two weeks ago, and spoke with Tony (NorcalSS) via text regarding a leveling kit. He recommended the Belltech setup...5321 I believe. My wife surprised me with a McGaughys 2" leveling kit so today I had the chance to install it...it's more like a 4" drop kit...rear measured out at 34" to wheel well...far from level. Thankfully I had a 1" spacer laying around which I threw in to make it somewhat livable as my time using the lift at the shop was up. Needless to say I just had Tony order me the kit he recommended first. Lesson learned. I emailed McGaughys, but don't expect a whole lot....everything had been installed before I realized how stinking low it was. This is Mcgaughys "leveling" kit WITH a 1" spacer thrown in

A little bouncier that stock...almost like it needs more shock dampening. I thought about the front but it still goes camping etc. I don't want it completely useless in 4x4.

We'll see what Monday's email reply says...not holding my breath.

THey easiest way is to take the 1" spacer out an get a 2" spacer like this...

But I agree that get a spring that performs and fits without any spacer would be best

Thanks for the link. I had ordered the 1" spacer off eBay just in case things ended up just under level...but this is way under level. Tony said just to get a 2" or 2.5" spacer but for the $200 or so a Belltech kit will cost I'd just feel better doing that. Thankfully this kit was only $117 shipped and while it sucks, I'm not going to lose too much sleep over it. I'll just post it up for sale here.

I spoke with Tom from McGaughys this morning. He was more than apologetic but confirmed this is the right coil. I'm going to ship them back to him I believe so he can check them out...it's possible a 4" drop coil was mislabeled. It seems to be a freak incident as many people have used this kit with no problems. Things happen and I don't want to bad mouth McGuaghys simple because of a possible mix up, like a said they said they will take the whole setup back even though I installed it. I'll update when I/we figure anything out. In the meantime, I ordered some Belltechs from Tony.
