What about height adjustable struts like rancho makes? I did contact them about making them for our trucks and got the usual answer no way. But rough country could take the lead and make them. This way you don't need to mess with spacers just pop the old strut out and put the new one in. Give it a range of 1 to 2 inches of lift and there you go. I don't know this is really getting rediculous. I really want a 3 inch lift but don't want a body lift unless I could get a 1 inch body lift and then use the spacer kit. How about rough country making a 1 inch body lift.

Just to make sure i understand what the kit is i have a few questions. The front spacers are like the trailmater spacers which preload the spring or like the Truxxx kit which mounts on top? Is the 2.5" lift front and rear so the truck will still keep the factory rake or is it different front to back? if it is different what size blocks are in the back? Thanks

By the way im a 2wd guy and i agree that the 4wd drives need a good lift too but dont hate on us 2wd guys, sometimes that is all your dealer has and you cant afford the extra cost for the 4wd (such as me). wells thanks roughcountry for coming thru with this and keep going so we have some more options.

we tried both styles decided on the top mount like the truxxx, it maintains factory ride quality in front, its 1.5 inch blocks in rear, it still has the rake but its not as bad, also it comes with hydro shocks for rear, you can get the front spacer only for 99 bucks, but it will give it a prerunner look, or a reverse rake, i couldnt stand riding like that for the days they had it on my truck but if you like it, its an option
