I used the rough country 2.5"f-1.5"r level kit on my 09' 4x4 trx and installed it with the help of a friend in about 2 hours it cost $120 plus $40 for the alignment. aside from the loss of a bit of ride quality i love it and highly recommend that kit for others to use.
And also the had them for 2wd models as well.( i see the list them for cheaper on ebay)

Is there still a vibration when you put it in 4wd? I did a leveling kit on my 08 and there was a vibration after in 4wd.

no new vibrations from the lift the only issues i have had from the lift is the turn stops on the lower A-arm and the spindles nothing major noticed yet. i did have to completely disasemble the brakes&rotors after mud bogging it last week

I added the rough country leveling to my 09 cc sport and I think it looks great. I put 2 1/2 in the front and 1 3/4 in the rear. I also added a set of timbrens in the rear so I don't get that rear sag when I pull my 16ft car hauler with my dads 5000lb tractor. I think its a personal preferance, just like the ones who like to lower their trucks. in my opinion anyways.

did you change your tires when you added the leveling kit? i haven't seen the 2.5 front/ 1.75 rear.. you got a link to where you got it? you got some pictures of your ride so we can see how it sits? thanks
since you lifted the rear 1.75 didn't that put alot more distance between the timbrens and the axle then what it's supposed to be?

I will post some pics when i get my camera back from my fiance. When I bought the leveling kit and installed it, i noticed that the front sat 1" higher than the rear. After some talking and sending pics to rough country about this problem they made me a custom made steal lift for the rear that measured 1 3/4" and now my truck sits level. As for the timberans, there was more of a gap now that I added the leveling kit. So I talked to them also and they sent me a new puck that bolts onto the timberan that I have to help fill that gap. Now I have about 1/2" gap between the timberan and my rear axle.

Hey stvsherrod, that post was probabley mine. I posted that about my leveling kit to find out if anyone else had that problem when they put there kit in. Some guys wanted me to keep them posted on what rough country was going to do to help me fix the problem. As far as I know, I was the only one to have that problem with that kit, and don't know why that is.
