GEN 2 Leveling Kit?

[RodGod87]

Hey,

What is everyone using for a leveling kit? Just got new rims and tires and the place I got them was going to do a leveling kit, but the kit he ordered he said it was junk and there where no other “good” options for leveling kits?

Need help as I would like this truck leveled.

Thanks

Go with the Eibach springs.

They add preload to the spring to raise the height. You may notice a slightly firmer ride, but with only a 1.5” increase in height, the impact is minimal.

You could also look into Eibach spring replacements that raise the truck 1.73” overall.

If you want to raise the front and have zero ride impact, your only option is full replacement shocks. They’ll be available later this year from Fox. Retail pricing for the front shocks (pair) is $3799.95.

Thanks do you sell the Eibach spring replacements? Would this alter the ride at all?

We’ve been offering these since late 2016 when the Gen 2 Raptor first debuted.

If you have a 2017-18 truck, we recommend the 2.25” for level stance.

If you have a 2019 truck, we recommend the 1.5” for a level stance. 2.25” will sit slightly nose high.

Any discounts on these?

I keep hearing that perch collars will ruin the ride on the 2019’s but can’t find anything that says how. Some say because it will ride higher and top out the shocks but I have trouble seeing why this would only apply to the 2019’s.

Do the Eibach’s make the shock closer to “topping out”? What’s the best way to level a 2019?

I have a magnet metallic 2019 and was looking for the best option to level it. Finally decided on RPG perch collars. Was going to go with 1.5” collars like many people suggested, but called RPG and he recommended the 2.25” to level my 2019 truck. I went with those in orange to match the suspension components and they perfectly leveled my truck. The collars did not change the ride whatsoever. Highly recommended, but go with the 2.25”.

Hey looks good. Can I ask you of it would be possible to measure from the top of your tire front and rear to the bottom of the plastic lip well?

The truck looks level and great. I’m just curious about the wheel well area. Thanks

Thanks! Yeah, I’m 41.5” (ground to fender flare) all the way around and I’ve got a Line-X retractable cover which adds a little weight to the rear. If not for that, I might still be a little low in the front, even with the 2.25” collars.

Thanks Mark,

That’s good real world results I can go with. I gather the RPG collars just sit Lower or there a little thinner? But they set you dead level. Not sure if even a 100lb bed cover is gonna make these trucks drop any in the back. But good to know in the worst case I’d be a hair lower in the front, than it being higher than the rear.

Same ride quality too! That’s great.

Yeah, I was going to go with the 1.5” collars as I was about 1 1/4” or so low in the front compared to rear. With this in mind I thought the 1.5”ers would be more than enough to level it. Since I’d seen some people were level with the smaller and some were level with the other, I thought to call RPG and he noted that the 1.5” collars raise the front by about 3/4” and the 2.25” collars would raise it by 1 1/4-1 1/2”. He was right. It’s good on my truck. Of note, I’ve seen so many varied measurements from ground to fender flare on this site. Lots of that has to do with all trucks have a little variation truck to truck and also if you don’t have the truck on perfectly level ground, the measurements will be way off.

That’s a lot of the feedback I was listening to. So I wasn’t sure which way to go yet. Nothing like speaking to the people who make the product.

Now by any chance do you have your pre collar measurements? Lol. I’d compare mine.

Did you install the collars or have a shop do it. Is it just as simple as using an on the vehicle coil spring compressor tool?
