Tonight I finished installing my 2" Rough Country leveling kit that I got off of Amazon for $66 with shipping. Must I say after a 30 minute drive home IM PLEASED... EXTREMELY PLEASED..
I love my truck too much to mess something up and didnt wanna spend the money for professionals to do it but I figured what the heck, 100% bolt on no special tools required but 1 wrench (15mm), 2 deep sockets (15mm & 18mm) , a crescent wrench, and a 7/32 allen wrench. Lets proceed.
First off the kit comes with 2 spacers, 4 bolts, 8 washers, 4 nuts, instructions, rough country advertising sticker, and a yellow rough country warning sticker to put either on the inside of the door alongside the other factory spec sticker(s), in the glove box, or in the engine compartment; choice is yours but its bright and notifies anyone working on the truck or future owner that there is a modification.
Now on to my clarifications for ease of installment. I followed the youtube video "2010 Rough Country Leveling Kit Install" TO THE TEE! However when trying to pry the strut up there was an extreme amount of pressure and it just felt as though someone was gonna get hurt. Didnt feel normal. Well after about an hour of trying to watch every moving part while prying and also trying to observe what is happening as well as "what needs to happen" ..FINALLY WE SPOTTED THE PROBLEM... we noticed one important step missing in the video instructions that would make the install go from 1.5 hours to 20 minutes tops GUARANTEED, WHICH IS JUST OUR OPINION. But if somehow you were able to get it by watching the video in this post and following those steps then most likely your here reading this because you broke something or messed something up and want to know of that easier way you could have done it.
In the video they stated loosening and leaving the sway bar bolt loose. For us this was humanly impossible to pry the strut far enough away from the lower control arm to slip the spacer in safely. We simply unscrewed the top nut and removed it completely from the sway bar but left the bolt in place. Giving you MUCH more room to move strut up and down. Next we easily picked the strut up away from the control arm and placed the spacer in place and wiggled the pry bar back and forth to align holes to accept bolts. We used a small vertical hydraulic jack to crank the lower control arm up to allow bolt for sway bar to protrude through enough for nut to catch.
Your also going to need the 7/32 allen to keep the ball joint from spinning when tightening your control arm nut. Also FYI the other side took us 12 minutes TIMED!!! Trust me just just remove the to nut completely from the sway bar. Now that we are finished and see the bigger picture of what we needed to do I consider this install a very very simple install probably a 2 or 3 out of 5 on a 10 scale of difficulty.
Going check alignment first thing in the morning hope you all find this post helpful. I don't ever post on anything but figured my two cents may save someone an hour of daylight. PLEASE GIVE THUMBS UP IF THIS REVIEW HELPED IN ANY WAY! Thanks God bless.
Update 4/5/2017: Since I first wrote this article, I have since installed this kit on 3 separate trucks that I've owned: 2011 Chevrolet Silverado LT 2WD, 2011 GMC Yukon SLT 2WD, and 2008 GMC Sierra SLE. All were equally easy and came out nice! Rough Country is the way to go! Dont settle for anything less!! Other brands have packaging issues, broken parts, missing pieces, uneven bolts, misthreaded bolts, unthreaded bolts, etc... Rough Country has an unmatched Quality Control department that ensures correct blemish free products. Uploaded before/after photos for your viewing pleasure

The installation was actually easy. As described by many other commenters, I did not exactly follow all the installation steps which are written to install both bolts head down on a 4WD configuration. Instead, if you install one bolt head up (the one on the drive shaft side) and you have someone to help insert the bolts while you pry and hold the strut up, you can install this kit by only loosening the sway bar attachement bolt on both side. The bolt installed head up (drive shaft side) needs to be trimmed by about 3/8” to clear the drive shaft when installed. When trimmed, the overall length of that bolt works out to be the same as the original bolt. No need to loosen any other bolts and components. Make sure that you are really careful when prying the strut up using the upper control arm to ensure that you don’t damage any part, wire, or attachment.

Install was easy, about 30 minutes each side.
Used the bolts that came with the kit and installed them bottom up like the factory bolts.
No issues with hitting the shaft.
Also, if you loosen the bolts on the control arm, it gives you that extra 1/4 inch to slide the leveller in and no need to touch the stabilizer.
Raised the front about 2.5 inches.
