Talking Finally new bumper and winch! Question about leveling kit for new sag...

Just installed an XHD stubby with RR 8500 winch today - very happy with the new look and ready to test it out! KC lights with tube bar mounts coming on monday.

So yeah, I got a good 3/4" drop in height up front. I'm running a RC 4" coil lift. Can I put a leveling kit in on top of the coils? I have a 1.75" sitting around and I'm hoping it will bring me up to about 4.5" net. What do you think?

If possible, can anyone in MA/NH help me put the spacers in? I don't have the tools or the know how!

Thanks all

Woohoo! :-)

Yes, you can add spacers to your coils with no issues... I'm nowhere close to you or I'd def help you out.

Just remember, with a 4.5" lift, the pinion angles are way off. Meaning, you may be replacing drive shafts in the near to mid future...
