Any experience with Clayton’s 1.5” Leveling Kit?

[Mflowers11]

Currently have a spacer/puck style leveling kit on a High Altitude w/ Rubi suspension. Pretty sure the spacer lift threw off my casterand rather and screw around with it, ordered the Clayton 1.5” leveling kit with the adjustable control arms etc. I am a very handy guy and am not worried about the install, but thought I’d check with a few that know better than me.

1. Doing the install and will bring it in for an alignment to ensure proper geometry if needed. Does the kit come with adjustment measurements & instructions a handy weekend warrior can understand?
2. Planning to run the stock shocks first but want smooth HWY ride quality for longer bus trips. Increasing rubber from stk 275/55/20 to 275/60/20. What about shocks, no worries about budget, any suggestions? Maybe reservoir shocks similar to the Mohave?
3. Anyone know of any good instal videos. Took a quick look and didn’t see anything.

Went this route as once it hits 100-120k I’m going to upgrade to a full lift anyway and make her my weekend toy! Thanks for the help in advance.

Why level it? If you put anything in the back then it will look like it's sagging

It looks like the leveling kit comes with some of the parts used on the Performance + kit I installed. Clayton has some pretty good videos and the kit comes with control arm length recommendations to get it close for alignment.

I got the Falcon 3.3 shocks and really like them. The adjustment actually change the ride. It’s the most I’ve ever spent on shocks, but after having them would do it again.

I did the whole install one month after getting a new knee and it was pretty easy. Follow the directions and it will all come together.

@Teqsand I have a steal bumper and winch that I’ll be putting on which will give it a little rake but I like the look leveled. I use it as a utility vehicle on the weekends but rarely have a load in it. 95% of the time the most weight I have in it are a set of golf clubs. Till I’m done driving it for work it’ll be a pavement pounder, not rock crawler. ?

+1 on the Falcons. I just installed the sp2 2.1 shocks on the softest setting and they are fantastic. I’m running the 1.5 Teraflex leveling kit with mopar lift control arms, running 33 tires. There is still the slightest rake in the front, but you can barely tell.

The buy once cry once is real. If you are planning on doing a full lift, do it now, don’t waste your money on other stuff.

Probably not hauling stuff very often and prefer it to look more level the majority of the time.

I felt same when I did the 4" lift, it leveled it, but then drove me nuts every time I put stuff in the bed it gave me headlight issues
