Default Front Leveling Kit with Load Leveling Rear Q?

Wanting to install the front leveling kit from Rocky Road and was wonder if it would have any ill effect with the (Towing Package 24J) load leveling rear suspension.

Shouldn't cause any issues with the rear leveling. You're just bringing the front height up to match the back so the rear height will be the same. You may need an alignment to set the camber of the wheels again though.

I doubt you'll have any issues with towing either. Most people don't reach the max capacity when towing anyway.

I say go for it!

I leveled my D several months back and have had zero negative residuals. I have pulled my 3000lb + bass boat many times including a 750 mile trip without problems. The only issue I encountered was my headlights had to be lowered a few degrees. I swear, for about two weeks everyone in the midwest flashed their brights at me. Of course, I reciprocated...

Durangerous, can you provide us with the front clearance height of that plastic 'feeler' / 'curb scraper'? Thanks.

My D measures right at 10 1/4" of clearance. That's with the 1.75" leveling kit and the Terra Grapplers.

Durangerous: I was reading the instructions for the level kit, & it said to check & retorque after every 3, 000 miles. Do you have to do that? If so, I'm not going to be able to get the kit- as it would then become to costly & time consuming.
