Rough Country 2" Leveling Kit (Model 9594)

Product Overview

This Rough Country 2-inch Leveling Kit is designed to raise the front of your 2020-2024 Chevy/GMC 2500/3500HD truck, achieving a level stance with the rear. This modification provides increased ground clearance, allowing for the installation of larger wheels and tires. The kit includes forged torsion bar keys, engineered for enhanced strength compared to stock components. These durable, corrosion-resistant parts are designed for straightforward installation without requiring cutting or drilling.

Important Compatibility Note: This kit does not fit AT4X or ZR2 models, as these vehicles are equipped with a 1.5-inch factory lift and Multimatic DSSV dampers.

Safety Information

Rough Country strongly recommends that a certified technician install all lift systems. Proper knowledge of Rough Country instructions, suspension procedures, and post-installation checks are essential. Installation without the necessary expertise may compromise the integrity and operating safety of the vehicle.

It is the buyer's responsibility to ensure all bolts and nuts are checked for tightness after the first 500 miles of driving, and subsequently every 1,000 miles. The vehicle's wheel alignment, steering system, suspension, and driveline systems must be inspected by a qualified, professional mechanic at least every 3,000 miles to ensure proper function and safety.

Operating Your Vehicle After Installation

After installing the leveling kit, your vehicle's handling characteristics may change slightly. It is important to drive cautiously and become accustomed to the new feel of your truck. The increased ride height may affect the vehicle's center of gravity, particularly during cornering or sudden maneuvers. Always adhere to speed limits and drive defensively.

Ensure that a professional wheel alignment is performed immediately after installation to correct any changes in steering geometry. This is crucial for maintaining proper vehicle control and preventing uneven tire wear.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance is vital for the longevity and safe operation of your leveled truck. Follow these guidelines:

• Bolt and Nut Checks: As per the legal disclaimer, re-check the tightness of all bolts and nuts after the first 500 miles, and then every 1,000 miles thereafter.
• Suspension Inspection: Periodically inspect all suspension components, including the torsion bar keys, shock extensions, and associated hardware, for any signs of wear, damage, or looseness.
• Wheel Alignment: Have your wheel alignment checked by a qualified mechanic every 3,000 miles or if you notice any unusual tire wear or steering issues.
• Tire Rotation: Rotate your tires regularly according to your vehicle manufacturer's recommendations to promote even wear.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues after installing your Rough Country 2" Leveling Kit, consider the following:

• Uneven Stance: Double-check that the torsion bar keys are installed correctly and adjusted evenly on both sides. Ensure the vehicle is on a level surface when measuring.
• Unusual Noises: Inspect all installed components for proper seating and tightness. Loose hardware can cause rattling or clunking sounds.
• Steering or Handling Issues: This often indicates a need for a professional wheel alignment. Verify that the alignment was performed correctly after installation.
• Premature Tire Wear: This is typically a symptom of incorrect wheel alignment or improper tire pressure. Ensure regular alignment checks and maintain recommended tire pressures.

For persistent issues, it is recommended to consult with a certified automotive technician or contact Rough Country customer support.
