Anyone running the RC 3.5?

I am, after about 12,000 miles, I'm researching other kits to soften the ride (speed bumps), and lift it a bit more. Starting to hear some unusual noises when I'm turning.

Doesn't look terrible with the current tires. Kind of makes it look like a HD

 

Yeah i was surprised how well it looked with the 32s. I was thinking it was gunna be taller... guess ill have to wait for my 35s to find out the overall size.

Not gonna lie, it looks kinda cool as is without big tires. What size tires do you have on there now?

It's got stock JK tires. I think there a 32. I'm thinking 33s or 35s on 20x12s.

@matt_s, Yeah if you're going to invest in tires, go 35s and be satisfied with them, instead of kicking yourself down the road in a month!

 

Truck looks good, can't wait to see the tire upgrade!

I'm thinking so to. I wanna add another inch or two up front as well

 

Try it with what you have first. Try to preserve the ride. If you lift it an inch or two, you will likely just space the strut or replace it. Easy to do, but relative to ride you want, you may have more insight after experiencing the lift as is. Just a thought...

Yeah I'm gonna swap my other rubber on see how it looks and rides before I decide if I'm gonna add anymore height

If you are just looking for an extra inch or two in height, maybe a small body lift will work. Just thinking out loud. LOL. Great looking truck by the way.

I asked this same question in the Leveling Kit thread, so I also wanted to ask/post it here as well.

I have a question, or maybe matter of individual opinion. I have the Rough Country 2.5" level/lift with the rear blocks (have not installed this kit yet). I am debating as to whether to install that with a 1.5" Zone Offroad body lift, or the Performance Accessories 3" body lift, or go with the 7" RCX lift. I want to put on 35x12.5x20 tires 20x10 wheels with either a -12 offset with backspace of 5 Fuel Mavericks, -19 offset with a backspace of 4.75 BMF Novakane Death Metal, or -24 offset with a backspace of 4.5 Fuel Maverick or Krank. Just looking for those of you that have done maybe a combo of these and opinions. I understand that it is personal preference as to what people want, affordability, etc. I have read this thread and the suspension lift thread and am really on the fence as to which way I want to go. Seen so many great looking trucks that are leveled, leveled + body lift, and lifted. Thanks in advance.

    • This video may not be the exact content for the joke thread but its a lot of laughs so here it is, I've only watched a portion of it so far but if anyone is looking for some light hearted good soap box driving action, its here. As a note in the upper left of the screen it shows the number out of 100 to refer back to any particular vehicle for comment !.    https://www.facebook.com/reel/1351928276956715
    • Did have to make 1 modification because of the WeatherTech rear mud flaps and that was needing 3 longer screws than what came with the install package. 😄
    • Picked up the liners yesterday. Installed passenger side WITHOUT any modifications. All mounting holes lined up perfectly. Rain is interfering today with drivers side. Very Happy! Will add pics when finished
    • As a matter of amusement I’ll leave this conversation with this. Do you beat the government average fuel estimate? Statistics are a guide to me. Not a rule. Someone once said I have to have the last word. If true and possible may be. I’ll blame that on working in a family business.
    • That is a fair point, and I agree that trying to log “everything in the truck” would be the wrong direction.   There are a lot of modules and a lot of traffic. If the product became a full-truck datalogger, the amount of data would get huge very quickly, and most owners would never use it.   I think the first useful version would need to be narrow: - powertrain-side event evidence - selected high-value parameters - communication / voltage / reset events - pre/post event window - short report first, raw log only as backup   One distinction I should make is between active OBD/PID polling and passive bus capture. If you are polling PIDs through OBD, then yes: the more parameters you request, the lower the effective sample rate becomes, and you are adding diagnostic traffic to a vehicle that is already busy running itself. With passive CAN capture, the recorder is not asking all the modules for data. It is listening to traffic that is already on the bus. So it does not consume vehicle bus bandwidth in the same way that a scan tool polling hundreds of PIDs would. But your point still applies in a different way.   Even if passive capture does not add bus traffic, the recorder still has limits: - processing rate - storage rate - timestamp accuracy - decoder workload - event filtering - report size - user attention span   So the answer cannot be “log everything and let the user figure it out.” The product would need to store enough raw evidence to be useful, but only decode, graph, and present the important parts around the event.   A practical report should probably show: - what triggered the capture - how much pre/post data was preserved - which selected parameters changed - how those values compared to baseline - whether the same pattern happened before - whether any voltage, reset, bus-off, lost-message, or communication fault occurred - selected graphs around the event - raw data only as supporting evidence   So I agree with you. More data is not automatically better. The real product is the reduction from raw data into a useful event report.
