No. I went Ready Lift. Honestly, heard nothing but (-) comments from installers/shops about RC suspension products. Not talking smack, just repeated was I was told by 3 different local shops? So I went Ready Lift. Super happy with 2" level spacers.

Just had the 52006 kit installed today, but only the rear portion as I did not want to raise the front at all. Measured a 1.25" drop in the rear which was noticeable but I wish it was double that. No change in ride quality although I would expect the truck to bottom out more easily with heavy loads. The biggest issue is that it has rendered my onboard scales just about useless - the truck thinks it's carrying an extra ~1,200lb load around now. Does anyone happen to know where the onboard scale sensors are located? I need to figure out how to reset the scale (the built-in reset does not fix this). Thanks!

I just installed the kit today, but chose to only install the rear drop platforms and didnāt add the 3/4ā spacers to the front. Overall a relatively painless way to lessen the dorky looking rake.

Thank you for the pics of the rear only drop for the Rough Country leveling kit! I am looking to do this as well, but Iām wondering if they only sell the rear portion and perhaps increase the drop to 2 inches? Or is there any way to increase the drop another inch or so easily while installing the 1.25in drop kit?

The sensor is a potentiometer with an apx 2" lever and linkage mounted to the frame just near the front pivot of the cast aluminum trailing arm. It measures how far the suspension is compressed.
To get the zero point reset, you are going to need to shorten the linkage or rotate the sensor so its at its zero position when the truck is empty. Not sure if its easily adjustable that far.
It has to presume a given spring rate of the rear suspension, so if you changed the spring rate and not just the offfset it will need to be recalibrated for the spring rate as well. Not sure if that is something possible in Forscan.

Hey Nate
When I was installing, and researching for that matter, it seemed like going more than 1.25inches was getting mighty close to the bump stops. I wanted more rear drop myself, but was not interested in killing ride quality.
Iāll take a look at my rear suspension as it sits unladen and see how much more travel there is, for informationās sake.
