How do you like that 2" fabtech level? Is it aluminum? I also want a bit rake left when I get one.

 

I'm very happy with the 2" Fabtech kit. They're billet and beautiful. I paid a little more than some of the other level kits out there, but I think this is a better quality product as well.

So i put my RC 2" level kit and Toyo 295/55/20's on this weekend. Install was simple, just like on my 2011. It definitely helps to have an extra set of hands when wedging that spacer in there. 295/

Thanks. Here is one more from yesterday. Considering we're getting 8-10 inches of rain the next two days, I won't be taking any better pics soon.

Mine is finally done! After months of research I went with the RC 2.5" level kit front only, stock rear block. 20"x9" Fuel Nutz w/ +1 offset, 33x12.50x20 Toyo M/T tires. No rubbing, No trimming, yet a

Is anyone running the 3.5" from Rough Country? I have not seen anything posted on it for the new body style?

I agree with GGZ71, and would not exceed a 3" lift on any truck, doing so does two things....

 

....either requires extensive and further investment in aftermarket suspension and steering assist components that are generally produced for the true off-roading arena (not street) or ...

 

...escalates the vehicle into a market place that will not attract a high number of potential buyers when that time comes as evident by the high number of seriously lifted trucks we all see on used car lots.

 

At the end of the day, its still a small market of consumers who want trucks with extreme lifts/mods.

 

to each his own we all say and honor, just my opinion that too much is not necessarily a good thing.

I've had a 4" level before, rode like ass. 3" was much better. And 2.5" felt like stock. Now I did have aftermarket Ucas for the 3" level but still Wouldn't go over 3"

Question for you guys running the RC 2.5" kit and 295/60/20s or 305/55/20s on stock wheels:

 

Are you getting rubbing on the sway bar or any other part of the frame or suspension when the wheels are at full lock?

Ok, so I finally ordered the RC 2.5" level kit. My new wheels and tires will be next on Friday. From what I have read on here, if I just put the front level kit on and not the rear blocks, that will level the truck with no front higher or lower than the rear. Level. Am I correct in thinking this?

I've ordered a 2" levelling kit for my truck and I'm planning on running a 275/70/18, but my question is will that tire still work if I switch rims to an 18x9 with an 18mm or 0mm offset? Or should I go with a 285/65/18?

No that is incorrect. The 2" front leveling kit will do that for you but if you did 2.5" in the front your rear would be lower.

Crap I ordered the 2.5". I thought as I read through this thread the measurements with the 2.5 and stock rear block were the closest. Dang it.

I am getting ready to order an 1.5" leveling kit for my truck and have a question.

 

The only two 1.5"ers I see are made by ReadyLift and FatBob's Garage. The ReadyLift is $229.95 and and FatBob's is $79.95....what is the difference? I mean they are just metal pucks/spacers. Is the RL 3X better? HaHa

      TCM Tuning 6L80E

      I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.

      Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      Atlas, you kill me As aggravating as a project like this can be you have been unable to hide your fascination with learning and using that angst against this beast like a Ninjitsu Master. It amuses you, admit it now.      BTW, love your writing style. 😉
