Been searching the forums for leveling kit options and I wanted to see if any other tremors are running this kit. I think it's down to this RC kit and 2" kit from Ranger Lifts. I'm looking to be as close to perfectly level as possible. Not looking to add any weight to the front and I'll rarely be towing or hauling. Thoughts?

Go with the Bilstein 2.5" from Stage 3. I would recommend heavily against Rough Country, their parts are absolute garbage and you'd be doing your truck a disservice. Bilstein and Eibach both make an affordable kit for leveling. I have the bilsteins on the front & rear and it was a massive upgrade in ride quality.

Rough country parts are made overseas… there is a reason they are cheap.

This is actually false, "most" of rough country's products are made in the US, Tennessee to be exact.

I've always been happy with my RC purchases in the past. I actually have their bed cover on my ranger. Just was asking to see if anyone installed this kit on a tremor and their thoughts. Looking for 100% level with no rake.

Been running the Rough Country 2.5" leveling kit for two years without any issues. Just make sure you get an alignment after installation. It's level and allows me to run 285/65 R18 tires without any rubbing.

Many folks here have run that RC spacer level for quite some time without problems.

Same for the FRL one.

You really can't go wrong with either for your needs.

Thanks all! Just was concerned that it wouldn't work with the tremor suspension setup.

Not sure why it wouldn't work for Tremor. But also not positive it will. Might want to check further before diving in.

Im 99.99999% sure it will fit, just not sure what the end height results will be.

If you would like to send me one I would be MORE THAN happy to install it on my Tremor and report back with a review. It's a sacrifice I'm willing to make for the ranger community. ?

When I was looking at level kits there were many who said stay away from RC as they are junk... blah blah blah. Well I've had mine now for over 2 years and have no problems with it and I've done a good amount of off roading too. I had the alignment done and have just recently had it checked and it was only off a little and everything (spacers) still looked good. For me this was a perfect set up but it all depends what you're going to do and what you want out of it. Is this the best set up, no but if you're just looking to level out the front and maybe add a larger tire it's fine.

I’m a Rough county dealer/shop and everything I’ve gotten has been direct from their manufacturing facility in Tennessee. Quality with RC has been top notch the past few years. We’ve done hundreds of their lifts and leveling kits with no issues. -Ben
