Just Ordered My Rc 2" Leveling Kit

MBC Racing · March 25, 2011

Well, just placed my order with RC. Mentioned this forum and basically got shipping free.

I did some searching and saw the concerns about wear and warrantee..... IF my front end wears out early, and I am concerned about the warrantee being voided, I will just pop out the spacers, bring it in and then put them back. No big deal. I had the front raised on my 00' silverado for last 50k of the 126k miles on it and the front end was fine. Axles were fine, ball joints fine.... I guess I will see.

As for the rear sagging.... well, I have a 4x4x 11' sierra CC with 6.2 3.73's and max trailer package. Only had it for a couple months so I have not hooked up my 22' enclosed trailer yet. I only tow about 12 times a year, so if it squats a little, not a big deal I guess since the rest of the time it will look good. RC has a 1.5" block that I can buy for the rear with new u bolts for $50. I may end up buying them too. Will put a touch of rake back, but will lift the rear some too and might look good. I don't so much mind the rake as don't like how low the front is.

I will post pics when I do the install. Will prob put on the new wheels and tires too. Stuck with the same size.

As for alignment.... I saw one guys post where it showed -18 deg Camber!!! Not .18, but 18. Something had to be wrong.... My race car is at -2 deg and it is pretty noticable that the top of the tire leans inward. His sheet also said stock was supposed to be between +2.5 to +4.5 deg if I remember correctly from his sheet.... doesn't sound right to me, but I will do a search. I figured for sure that the Toe would need to be adjusted, but didn't think the camber would be effected that much.
