Level Kit And Lift Blocks Installed

[426ted]

Finally had some free time this morning so I decided to install the Rough Country 2" kit and the Readylift 3" blocks in the rear. Compared to my old '86 GMC, working on this thing was a treat- nuts weren't seized, it was pretty clean etc... Easy job as well; I think most people could do this with basic hand tools. Unfortunatly my impact packed it in right at the start- the U-bolts were a bitch. Other than that pretty straight forward. Took off that stupid lower valance as well. Really happy with the results, it looks as it should have from the factory.

Looks great. Need to get my rear blocks ordered and installed.

[fisetd]

look good, so you took the factory block out and replace it with the 3" one or you stacked it?

[blackout07]

Very nice. And I completely agree...that is how they should look from the factory.

Thanks guys. I replaced the rear blocks and did not stack them. Now I need to decide on the N-fab vs the Go Rhino nerf bars, though I may be stuck with the N-fab as I can't seem to find a Go Rhino dealer out here. How do you like you bars, Matt? I know there is a good comparison in a post from a few months ago on this forum, but I am still undecided.

I think summit racing deals in go rhino got a set of steps from them for my friends jeep.... Another question. I am looking to get the same type of set up I have an 08 silverado. was looking into the ranch quick lift and the rear spring. I am going to be getting the 18'' z71 wheels what size tire did you fit on yours? I also will be going for the bfg a/t.

+1 nice lookin truck

 

Also wondering about your tire size... and how you like the bfg a/t's as far as road noise and winter traction. And are you just using your stock rear shocks?

What is your size of your tires. Truck looks awesome thats what I am about to do to mine.

[wolverine_22]

did you get the rear shock extensions.

[All-Terrain780]

nice block all-terrain u got there. how u like the new height? i love mine pretty much same setup .

[426ted]

Thanks guys. Tire size is stock- 265/65-18. Installed the BFG's before I took it off the dealer's lot. I think the tire are pretty good- handles snow and rain well and doesn't get too cut up on old logging roads. They also wear really well. No noise from the tires that I notice. I did not get longer shocks and I had it up in the bush last week; didn't notice any issues there. The height is ok, but I think I may go with a body lift down the road as a lot of guys here have done, some cool looking trucks on this site. I almost think the best part was ripping off that stupid lower valance.

Just got done lifting my 2010 Z71 Silverado. I ordered the 2.25" leveling kit from readylift but only installed the top strut spacer which is equivalent to 1.5" lift. I am wanting to clear 285-65-R18 BFG AT's with this setup. I also installed ready lift's 2" rear block. Tire Barn will have my tires in tomorrow (12/11/2010). I'm hoping they fit, if they do not, then I will go back home and add the additional ready lift spacer to achieve 2.25" lift up front. If I do this then I will probably order the 3" block for the rear and sell the 2" block kit. I will post pictures when done. Keep you guys posted...
