Great looking set up! Thanks for sharing!

Does adding the aftermarket stuff void the warranties? Got a Tremor ordered but still looking at adding a lift.

I had the dealer themselves do the lift so if there’s any problems it’s going back to them

I just ordered the RC 2" Lift. You like the ride after the install? Also do you have any rubbing issues when turning with the larger tire?

I just got my Mav back today from getting a RC 2" lift, and new shoes.
2023 Lariat AWD
Rough Country 2" lift
Falken Wildpeaks 245 60 18

Ride is just as comfortable as before.
Noticed there is a popping sound (front driver side) when I go over bumps. Installer (an offroad specialty shop) said the spacers need to settle, and to come back in 500 miles to have them look at them. Maybe true maybe not. I will follow up.

Update on my 2" lift. The original RC lift installed was the spacers. Was OK at first, with as I noted originally, a 'popping' sound when turning or going over bumps. Well, the ride became stiff, like bottoming out, and that popping sound got worse. Went back to my installer (reputable shop) and they tore it down. The owner agreed with me that it just isn't right. So, I upgraded to the 2 inch suspension lift (owner sold the upgrade at cost and no labor) and they took out the spacers. Got it back today, and it's like a whole new truck. There clearly was something just not right with the spacer setup. The owner is talking with the regional rep for Rough Country about this issue. But, just to share my experience. It is worth the upgrade the a suspension lift, not just the spacer lift! Back to loving my truck...

Hey buddy. Thanks for sharing this! I have an EB FWD.
I installed the RC 1" leveling kit at the front. It is the 1" composite spacers. I am very happy with the way the truck looks and the additional clearance is just what I need. However I do have the same issue you described. The front suspension bottoms out and I also hear that popping sound when I drive over holes or roads in bad conditions. Before the spacers it did not have that issue, it was very comfortable and absorbed the road bumps and holes w/o issues.
What would you recommend? I am ok spending a few more bucks if that gives me the end result I am looking for which is a leveled look with the extra front clearance (I like the rear height) but I want to keep the ride as comfortable as it came from the factory.

Regards!

Spacers are cheap for a reason. Adding the cheapness of RC on top of that and it's almost never a good combo.
