Thoughts on 1-1.25" level kits

[JL8jeff]

Does anybody have any good or bad comments on some of the 1-1.25" level kits? My base Sas sits about 1-1/4 to 1-1/2" high in the back so I'm not sure if I should go with a 1" or 1.25" level kit and wondering how those kits worked out for people that installed them. I'd rather be a little short and still have some rake vs the opposite and too much lift up front. I see the RC 1" has 2 spacers up top and was wondering if that leads to any adverse issues vs a single spacer up top. Also, has anyone measured the thickness of the top spacer and lower spacer in case I decided to just install the top one. Thanks for any insight.

Every photo of a level I'm seen over 1", looks like it's got the Caralina squat going.

I find it interesting that the RC and Zone 1" level kits have new lower bolts/nuts and have the upper and lower spacers. The Readylift 1.25" has the upper and lower spacer but still uses the stock lower studs which makes me think it has to have almost no threads left after putting the stock nut back on.

I think leveling kits look like nearly 100% of the time, on any vehicle.

Load up the truck with your standard camping load and measure again. Mine fully loaded with gear still sits about 1” high in the rear (Picture). I have purchased the Zone and Readylift kits, not sure which one I’m going to install. I prefer the construction of the aluminum Readylift kit, but the 1” of the Zone might work better. I would also consider doing a coilover setup with 2” lift front and 1” lift rear. Unfortunately we will be buying a house shortly and my Bronco funds will evaporate.

Can't, the forum police will slap me.

I used the Rock Krawler 1” front level kit. The entire spacer is on the bottom . Had good results

I installed the RC leveling kit and added spacers as needed. At least you can fine tune the lift to your liking.

Wheels look great! What did you end up buying for those?

The same AT3's have been serving me very well but long term I would pick up a black set of wheels like yours.

You can look at Bilstein adjustable 6100 shocks. I'm leaning this way vs adding lifts. Always can adjust and move to 37s in the future.
