I'f you are doing this in 2024. The rear blocks that go on top of the leaf springs are sloped. I was told by a rep a RC that the slope goes towards the front of the vehicle. Just a little bit more information. Great video. By the way, it helped me do the installation flawlessly
MIght be a dumb question - if you're strictly wanting to level the truck out, not necessarily "lift it up" at all, do you have to put the rear blocks in? Or can you just install the front components to level it up and skip the rear? Brand new to this - trying to read up before I buy anything. Thanks
So I got a 2.5 leveling block for the bottom of the shocks. Mzs I’m sure brand don’t matter but they look like the one in the bottom. It didn’t come with the plastic piece on top of strut. Everything is put back together and my front axle rubs on the bolts for the shock up top. Do you think it’s because I don’t have the spacer up top that’s why it rubs? If so do you know what size the top spacer is? The bottom one is a 2.5
Just attempted this install this morning and i installed the lower strut bolts backwards as i couldnt figure out how the hell to get them to clear the cv axle
Depends on what you are wanting to do. If you are just wanting a small lift for looks then blocks are the way to go in my opinion. If you are actually wanting to take it off road and crawling, or doing a large lift for looks, then doing a proper lift with springs and brackets is better.
I have the same truck but it’s Silverado thinking I’m going to do the same thing . I have 265/70/17 toyo at3 on it wish would of waited and got 285 but it’s going to have to do , 👍 nice truck
Yeah I used both in order to for it to set level. I think the struts they sell you don't have to do either of them because it already has the lift built in. I just swapped to there struts and I didn't put the either bracket back in.

How come the 2.5 RC I got has triangle spacer for top strut and and round one for bottom of the spring of the strut
Great video! Thanks for the detailed walkthrough.
Video was useful while installing. Thank you for making this video.

You can just buy the 2inch level kit for $30 bucks
has anybody figured this out? i feel like i could just do the lift on the front an not have to put new block in the rear or do i have to?
The front will be slightly higher if you do that. I just did my front, noticed that, now I’m starting on the back.
whats the angle on the cv axle with this kit

Did you fix it?
Flip the bolts upside down like in the video
Did you need to take it to get a front end alignment?
Would you recommend getting the upper control arms for a lift or do you think it is not needed
Not really needed in my opinion for 2.5 inches and lower. I do recommend on 6 inch lifts
How was the ball joint angel?
Exelente. Video u exelente explicación

Do you think, when you weigh cost vs performance, it's better to lift a truck with blocks or with springs?
Depends on what you are wanting to do. If you are just wanting a small lift for looks then blocks are the way to go in my opinion. If you are actually wanting to take it off road and crawling, or doing a large lift for looks, then doing a proper lift with springs and brackets is better.

I had a third spacer that went under the spring on my strut and I just could not get anything to work at all
Do you need the top one to make it 2.5”?

Looks good
How much would a shop charge me to install a 2” leveling kit
Depends on what color your truck is...
Why the back too?
What size rims do you have
If all else fails, follow the instructions
I'd give it a F@#$n ten lol
