nice looking truck man. I just bought the Rough country lift also. I cant decide if I want to add a leveling kit to the front of it also. Do you think the truck sits fairly level? Its hard to tell in pictures. you should make an album with more pictures of that nice truck

No not any rubbing issues at all. I went with the -12 offset with a 4.53'' backspacing, they do stick out a little but it's not bad at all, I will take a couple of pics here in a few.
here is there part number xd77889067712n

this kit comes with a huge spacer up front between the strut and upper mount, since the spacer is all a leveling kit is, I'm not sure where you would put it. It definitely is not advisable to stack the two.

Thanks for the pics, showed me what I was wondering about. Did you go with that offset because of the RC recomendation or do you like them sticking out that little bit? I really think I want the +18mm but that is over 1/2" more backspace than they recommend. I think that would tuck the tires in just the way I like it. Do you happen to know how much clearance you have at full lock between the wheels and the control arms? Again, thanks for your answers and pictures.

Looks great! I love the BMF Novakanes, and the XD Monsters, either in a 22 would be Some more aggressive tires would really set it off!

I believe you can add the Bilstein struts and lift it another 1" or 2". I've ordered the lift and I'm considering going that route with the 1" setting to get the front up a bit more.
