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.

 

2.5 and stock rear block will sit you dead level

I just got done reading this thread AGAIN! Yes 2.5" with the stock block I should be pretty damn close to level. Now time to order my wheels and tires tomorrow!! Cant wait to get this done.

 

Hope it works out for you but when I did mine my front sat either 0.25" or 0.5" higher than the rear. I did mine quite a while ago so I cant remember exactly, I may be wrong. You could opt to only install the lower front spacer and see what results you get, then the other if you need more.

Personally I just recommend installing the whole kit

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.

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

When it comes to spacers, the difference is minimal. Get the cheaper one. A spacer is a spacer is a spacer.

Depends on if it is Z71 or not as the Z71 sits higher in the rear in Stock form. On my Z71,it took the full 2.5" front lift and stock rear block and it is still 0.5" taller in the back.

Thanks...that is what I was kind of thinking but wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything when looking at them. Any purpose to the extra spaces between bolt holes on the ReadyLift? Saving weight :)?

Did u measure it right after you put it on? If so, you didn't give it time to settle.

I know I'm slightly more than 0.5" higher in the back with the full kit. Leaving the stock blocks in place would put me 1" lower in the rear which would be approximately 0.5" lower than the front...

Yes I measured right. I was one of the first to do the 2.5" level on here so my truck has had plenty of time to settle.

Strange that people are getting different results.

With a 2" Ready-Lift front level and stock rear block:

 

38.5" front

39" rear

 

Exactly what I wanted.

Cargo/Accessories installed the time of measurement, amount of fuel in the tank, possible a slight slope where they parked, how/where they meassured, how long they've let it settle after install, etc, could be all kinds of things, shoot, I've even seen some tape meassures that are a little different from one another. Variances by 1/2" wouldn't surprise me at all.

2.5 ready lift with 2 inch block in the rear. 33x12.5r20 toyo mts. Rub at full lock, but not enough to make any adjustments. Love the look, changes the truck. Recommend the level and tire combo to anyone.

That looks great! Do you have measurements? I am about to have my 2.5" level kit put on Thursday morning. The dealer wanted me to install the rear blocks but I think it will be too high in the rear. My stock measurements are 36" front 39" rear. So if I am thinking correct, 2.5" in the front will leave it 1/2" higher in the rear with the stock block.? But in your pics yours looks pretty level, just curious.

I just left back to camp for 3 weeks. Although it looks level in the pictures it still has a slight rake. Which I wanted. It's not noticeable at all, but it is nice when you're pulling something not to have it so bagged out. I removed the stock block and got the 2" installed. That's the route I would go

      Sure, but they do have some affordable options like the Trax, Trailblazer, Envista, and Encore. Some of these have a cheaper base price than the Civic, though the fuel economy isn’t as high. The main problem is that people WANT the highest trim with all the goodies and finance for like 7 years. That’s how ppl “afford” the more expensive vehicles.

      Holy s**t - not much of a parts thrower you say? You BLASTED that thing with the parts cannon!  You'd have been probably $1,000 ahead if you had just brought it to a competent shop rather than shotgunning a bunch of parts it clearly didn't need.   Just FYI - oil additives are really, REALLY good at ONE thing ... and that's emptying your wallet. They're ALL useless gimmicks.   If that has the L94 or L99, then #7 is an AFM cylinder. I'd suspect a failed lifter in that case.   If you leaned on wiring, sensors, and/or connectors while changing the oil, you'll have to check all that to be sure pins didn't get pulled out, connectors broken, etc.. Old wire loom that was barely adequate when new is certainly brittle by year 19 - make sure wires aren't chaffed and shorting out somewhere where you might have leaned. or supported yourself on it.   If your a mechanic, why didn't you just find out what you were missing and troubleshoot from there??  TIMED spark, fuel PSI / injector pulse, air, compression.  Can't make ANY money going the parts cannon route.

      LOL! Are you joking?? That wax SUCKS! 100% gimmick made to "look" good.    After just TWO winters I had severe surface rusting in patches over 90% of the frame. Only reason it looks great in the pics is because I SATURATED the frame every single fall with used motor oil for 14 of the 16 years I owned it. Otherwise it would've been sent to the crusher 8 years earlier with the speed it was rusting prior!    I sold that POS 3 years ago. Was a gigantic headache the second it rolled off the showroom floor. Brakes pulsated on the TEST DRIVE. Door trim fell off the 1st week! Interior squeaked and rattled, and the drivetrain clunked after 2k miles. 4x4 switch failed shortly after. Front end - ball joints, struts, hub bearings - all failed between 38k-50k. Engine started burning oil at 50k. Rear and and transmission failed before 100k. Nothing but problems, and frustration with the piss-poor engineering designed to make you give up. Well, it worked! Nothing on that truck was easy to remove ... except the wheels. They haven't figured out how to screw that up yet. Give 'em time ...   I won't make that mistake again. EVER.   Such fond memories ... https://postimg.cc/K1qf23tS  https://postimg.cc/gallery/X02z64J  https://postimg.cc/gallery/mHSRXZv  https://postimg.cc/gallery/D4mMRfL

      OBD not ready?

      By davester · Posted

      Different monitors do their test only under conditions specific to that monitor.  you MIGHT find the drive cycle conditions for the monitor that isn't ready on this site: https://lemon-manuals.la/   If it's not there, then it should be on alldata.com for your truck, but it requires a paid subscription.   And you need to know which specific monitor isn't ready.
