Anyone with the 7" RCX lift notice that the rear leafs have a funny arch to them after the rear blocks have been installed? when I look at the rear leafs it looks high in the center and then lower at the ends of the blocks. Kinda looks like a "W" are the outter small U-bolts to tight??

Did the BDS 6" with Fox shocks. 22x12 Sprockets on 33" Toyo MT's. Rides like stock, no rub no trimming.

Crappy pic, but this was right after it pulled out of the garage last night. 4.5 zone with fox in the rear, 35x12.50r20 nitto ridge grapplers on stock elevation rims. Ride seems better then stock, i

Installed the older tow mirrors on today, didn't finish till dark but here's as best as I could do until the sun and rain goes away.

Do you have a part number for those? Are those the ones that are heated, power adjust and turn signal indicators? Truck looks awesome.

can anyone explain why the lift shop I'm talking to is recommending I don't use wheel spacers? I really like the look of this truck, but requires spacers.

I recently purchased this truck last week. I was really surprised when I seen it on this forum. I also learned I had wheel spacers by this post lol. But only thing I figure is it lines the rear wheels with the front on the distance they stick out.

my previous truck had this same scenario... f150 with a rough country 6" lift on it. the blocks are a nice design and add extra support but those small u-bolts go out too far where there is no shim in between the leaf. I just cranked down the u bolts anyways and made the "W" like yours and never had any problems for the 3 years i owned the truck. i was thinking about cutting some delrin shims and sticking them in between but i never got around to it.

Can someone with the Zone 4.5" post a picture of their angles?

 

I have a crazy idea which I dont know will work or not. I'd love to lift the front of my truck about 3.5 or 4 inches but I don't want RC's 3.5" kit and I'm not spending the money for BDS's 4" kit (which I read is way over 4 inches anyways). I'm also not interested in overextended 4" kits like Mcgaughys or Readylift.

 

What if I installed Zones 4.5" kit, for example, but used RC's 3.5" spacers from their kit (or Bilstein adjustables with a 3" level block)?

 

Stupid idea? Would my angles be in the negative? I think Zone's 4.5" angles are pretty flat so I'm thinking the angle of my axles might be inverted.

 

I dont think this is the greatest idea but if you do go with it i would get the adjustables. if you want exactly 4" have you thought about doing the RC 2.5 with zone 1.5" body lift?

 

its tough to find a good in between lift. 4" is right at that middle point.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I’m doing an experiment on a vehicle I don’t have much money in. I’m going by the premise that after they last 100K miles they were no mechanical problems with assembly. Or defects with the parts. With oil changes by the minder for the first 127K miles when I acquired it. I quickly went through low mileage oil changes then settled on 5k oil changes with close to 170K miles on the vehicle currently. I did have the option to turn off the cylinder deactivation. I didn’t on this vehicle because it’s in ECONOMY mode at least half the time. It should be a no brainer frequent oil changes are the key. The manufacturer gets away with the long oil changes with its severe service  maintenance. Just ask them what is normal.

      Hot air constantly blowing through floor vents, drivers side only?

      By baglie1 · Posted

      Even set to "recirculated", the air pushes out and is hot. I have noticed that sometime it doesn't want to switch between recirculated/vented air. Say it is set to Circulated Air and I want to switch to Vented, when I click the Vented button, it just quickly lights up/clicks and immediatly switches back to Circulated. It's done this a few times now. So maybe it is an actuator getting stuck? But then, that doesn't explain the hot air when everything is off does it?

      Gas Prices

      I wonder what the price is out at the coast, Big Sur or other out of the way locations as I bet they are charging quite a premium over the in land pumps.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Were you looking at the HD trucks on the GM website or the half tons as that makes all the difference. As far as I know there are only two options for the HD trucks and that is the standard 2 speed transfer case or the 2 speed transfer case that has the added 4 high auto feature and they put that transfer case by default into the LTZ and High Country although its optional in the LT and not sure if its available in the work trucks.    The half tons, that is where its been a total mess in my estimation for a few years now with most trucks below the top trim having the single speed transfer case as standard but with the option of having the two speed such as one would get by choosing the Z71 package, however then not being able to get the two speed transfer case with the towing package unless it was a higher trim truck AND had the 6.2 gas so one could combine the towing package gearing diffs with the two speed transfer case. Having said that if its a trail boss package then it gets the two speed transfer case but not necessarily able to get the tow package as it would depend on trim level and engine chosen. Believe me, people have bought the GM half tons assuming "of course it will have a two speed transfer case" only to find out after when they really pay attention to what they now own .... crap, there is NO low range !.    I don't believe Ford or Ram have gone that way yet with their half tons but like I say its been a few years now that GM has done this with the half tons.
