Default rough country 2.5

1st question. does the rough country 2.5 suspension lift keep the factory rake angle or do i have to get the front pucks to not have it? 2nd question is that all i have to get, are the 4 shocks and four springs if im going 2.5?

After 2000 miles, mine seems to have settled. If it has any rake left, you'd have to laser level it to see it. Good kit, just double check your front shock bushings in a few weeks. My top bushing kinda jumped ship. So did my dads. Had a couple spare sets of Rancho poly bushings around the shop, no mas problemos.

it will definitely take care of the rake, and at first it may even look a little higher in the front depending on how you look at it...but it will settle nicely. And yep, all you NEED comes in the kit (4 springs, 4 shocks)....other doo dads like a rear track bar braket and some rear brake line extensions might not be a bad idea, but the brake line extensions you can make yourself or just get some from Rough Country for a few bucks.
