Ok guys whats your thougths on this one. The fat bobs bottom 2" level kit can be gotten for like 40 bucks versus 65 for the rough country 2" leveling kit. Looks to me they are both made of the same material.

Ok cool i didnt see anything about free shipping or next day air free when i was looking at rc's site ill look again.

Update i just checked their site how did you get free shipping and next day delivery. When i go to check out it adds shipping charges to my order. Not that im complaining but if i can get free shipping i want it. ha ha ha. I would like to know if anyone has experience with the fat bobs leveling kits that are similar to the rc one though.

When you go to check out you have to punch free shipping. When I ordered mine yesterday they had a timer clock running and it had about 23 hours left to get the offer.

I would get the cheaper one. they are the same. It is a chunk of billet aluminum machined into a spacer. Pretty hard to screw up. As long as it is from reputable establishment you will be fine.

 

I purchased mine from a small offroad shop that machines their own parts for off road racing. They look the same as the RC and the "Fat Bob" and I have had no issues.

I actually did the "Fat Bob's", and they looked the same to me. I think (not certain) that the FB's are made of some type of heavy nylon material. Bought on e-Bay for $35.95, with free shipping. (Link) The only criticism that I have is that one of the bolts was too LONG, and had to be cut off. They said it was the difference between the A-Frame's one is stamped and one is solid (mine is solid). Easy install, did as advertised... should hold up forever.

Im no pro but i think the nylon will hold up too as well just fine for what most of us do and mild off roading shouldnt hurt i dont think. One concern i had was the nylon cracking when tightening the bolts but i havent found anything on that issue here so i think im good to go.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I don't know how far back vehicles had hour meters, be it driver accessible or diag accessible but was wondering if there was any rule of thumb your shop came up with in regards to an hour limit on engine oil regardless of the miles on the oil.    I know with construction or farm equipment its almost always based on engine hours for maintenance scheduling as no other metric really applies other than a seasonal time limit that one self imposes on items like engine oil.

      I'm not sure what to say on that mess but I will say that is an odd thing for that mechanic to speculate on as per assuming its been run out of oil a few times as the odds of that engine having instead piled up with a complete seizure would be very high if such events had actually taken place. However there is nothing saying that the oil has ever been changed although once again, what filter was on that engine as that would tell part of the story if its possible to figure out if its a factory installed filter or not. Too many items unknown and a lot of speculation, but regardless of that its one fubared mess that is mind boggling to see for a vehicle that new and its hard to imagine how it ever made it that far in life looking at the top of the engine.    His scanners, I've watched him before here and there and I'd have to say if I recall correctly that some of his scanning equipment is one or two steps up from a child's Exo Sketch 😋

      I agree. That`s a LOT of sludge for 12,000 miles. I tossed that out here since this is an OCI thread. There`s tons of people here that do not post.   I used to work on a city fleet. That includes police cars and fire trucks. Lesson is, not to only use the odo for oci. A police car has a ton of hours on the engine for the miles it shows. And, not just idling, directing traffic. They beat on these things.   Course, since it is a Kia, they were gonna use the "100,000 mile warranty" for their OCI.😉

      Manufactuer's Defect - Paint Failure - Cherry Red High Country 2021 Suburban

      By AlVeron · Posted

      CLASS ACTION SUITS?  Does anyone know if there is already a class action suit for the paint - which was to have been fixed, changed in after the 2020 GM vehicles?  Does it look like this?    Just started 3 weeks ago - No help from GM as of yet - Dealer will not assist in speaking with GM on my behalf. Confirmed it is the paint they use along with the way the put it on that causes it to fail.  Clearly a Manufacturer's Defect.

      That dog don't hunt. 😏   First, a 2025 with 12K on the clock AND idled for a year nonstop is false on it's face; this is 2026. You can do one or the other but not both.    Second, ENGINE HOURS are absolutely available. The rest is third grade math. Micky Mouse scanner he got out of a box of Cracker Jacks OR an ID10T error.    Third, if they ran it out of oil "Several times" that motor is boned on the first hit.    Does this guy think piling higher makes it stink less?
