    Leveling kit install question

    I've been going back and forth about installing a rough country 2" level on my truck. I've looked at the install instructions along with an install video in YouTube. From what I can see, it looks like you'd just be able to remove the lower shock bolts, compress the shock a few inches with a bottle jack, slide the spacer in, and install the aftermarket bolts. Anyone else see a potential issue with doing it this way?

    Which kit are you going with? Is it just a spring spacer? I want to install the same 2" kit on my truck as well

    It's that simple. It's a spacer for the bottom mount of the strut. It's no different with the spacer that goes up top.

    So there is no need to loosen the sway bar, control arms, etc? Just jack up the front, take wheels off, remove factory shock bolts and put the new stuff in?
