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

I own FastHeadlights LLC and we do work on headlights all the time. I just took the orange out and replaced with some switchback turn signals :)

 

 

Can we get some more pics of the front of your truck?

What did you tint your tail lights with? how many coats? Any chance you take a pic with the tail lights on and not the breaks? I am ready tint mine. I have a white truck and dont want them super dark and would like to keep the tail and brake lights as bright as possible but just take the red out when they are off if that makes sense.

Finally got all the mods on (for now). I did the rough country 3.75 inch combo kit (2.5 inch leveling kit with the 1.25 inch body lift). Also went with Mickey Thompson Baja ATZ 275/65/20 on the stock rims. Absolutely love how it turned out.

Added the. 5" wheel spacers. Bumped them out just enough to make me happy.

 

What .5" spacers did you use? I need roughly this amount to satisfy me, but I've been unable to find bolton spacers in the .5" size and I was under the impression a .5" slide-on spacer wouldn't leave enough threads on the studs???

Here is a picture of the tire the only one that was not too big I guess. Dumb. 295 70r18 factory rims.

 

 

Looks good, and it looks as if there is a good deal of room. Congrats. Truck looks awesome. That will be the tire and size that I will go with. Had those exact same tires on my last two Fords and there were no issues at all. Looks like they will be going on my Chevy now. Thanks for the pics.

Can you give some front and rear pics, some showing how the truck looks with those 275s on. Kinda curious how wide they look with the truck on a 3.75 combo and 34s

I just got some cheap ones on eBay from wheelcity. I also bought some et style lugs. I wasn't real happy with how many rotations I got on the lugs.

I like your lights! Where did you get them, or what did you have done. Sweet truck!

 

This man also did the work on my headlights, I can definitely vouch for his work. :thumbs:

 

I also ran across something yesterday you guys might find interesting. I saw someone run 35's on a single 2" leveling kit with almost 0 rubbing issues so he claims. Anyone else try this setup? (forgive me if this is old news, haven't had time to browse the forum lately)

That's what I'm saying lol, if he really doesn't rub with no trimming like he claims I'll be all over some 35's for my pickup.

Whenever my tires run out ( about 1/2 life) I'm going to try 305/70/18's (34.8"x12") on a 2.5 level and 1.5 body lift. It'll be a bit still, but i'm going to try it at least. Hopefully someone will have the answer by then, but that's my intent. 295/70/18's as a backup.

      A/C failure cause???

      By Somethingclever_2014GM · Posted

      Glad it worked for you. I tried that 1st, about 2 years ago. Didn't help. I also tried doing a hard reset (disconnecting battery for minimum of 30 minutes). Worked a couple times, but after one summer of doing it over and over, that no longer worked.  I was fairly confident it was either the compressor or a failed actuator, but I just couldn't identify which one. Had to research which actuators do what and which last numbers are associated with each.

      Took me FIFTEEN MINUTES to find this. Isn't that a problem? On the mainstream media I can INSTANTLY find 100 articles bashing President Trump ... but when it comes to TRUTH in American corporate news & search engines, it's carefully filtered to support ONE SIDE. A Republic cannot survive like this! Incredible! Even all the AI searchers out there failed as well! ChatGPT said it needed more details on the video that I provided a DIRECT LINK to! I thought AI was the be-all, end-all?? I had to dig it up myself. This should be FRONT PAGE NEWS!!! 🤬   Here's the statement directly from our President:     Glenn Beck's reporting on the operation:   https://glennbeck.com/watch/videos/trump-just-revealed-a-massive-military-secret-that-lowered-gas-prices   In case that link doesn't work, here's the YouTube link:     And another 15 minutes to find this clip out of Glenn Beck's video - the first few seconds is all the corporate media will allow the public to see, since the low IQ people will think Trump said " I love inflation ", and that was the end of it. Taken WAY out of context! Here's that part, plus the 2nd part about the oil smuggling operation:

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      More is cylinder deactivation. Kia-Hyundai Ive had 4. The warranty is the same 10 years 100K miles. My grandson drives the first one 05 Elantra GT. My wife drives the second one 2011 Genesis. The Genesis still performs as new and looks great. The Elantra looks rough. He’s not kind to it. The third was a Genesis coup. The fourth was a Santa Fe. Those were my daily drivers. I don’t keep them long. Kia is the same as Hyundai with the same warranty. I looked at the K-4 today. Too small, otherwise pretty good buy. Most of Hyundai and Kia’s have a performance upgrade.

      Oil Consumption

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Great question. Answer....depends. One the volume of the crankcase, the driver that will actually be using the vehicle and the amount it uses plus the distance expected for that next trip. Couple of for instances:   Wife is going to drive Dizzy to Moline and back plus a bit around town so say 500 miles on the day. I know from years with that SUV that around town and local rural it uses about a quart in 1250 miles. But on the Interstate and her at the wheel without her anchor nagging her she'll push it and it will drop a quart in about 800 miles. Hence, around town I wait to somewhere between a quarter down to a quart down. On her trip I'd top it if it was down a few ounces and hope for the best.    Have I overfilled one? You mean by adding before it needs a full quart I assume. No, not once after finding the true fill mark.  I know the dipsticks of everything I drive and add what it needs. I learn this by doing the first oil change a quart low. Run the motor for a few minutes. Let it sit over night. Check and mark. Then add half a cup at a time making note of the place on the stick. I add through the dipstick tube with a barbeque basting bottle. Give it a few minutes to drain down and check again.    A vehicle like Dizzy that uses this much oil will take a few quarts between 3K changes. I keep one in the vehicle with the bottle and a bag. (Mindful of it's fullness) Not a big deal and never makes a mess of it. There is no such thing as "multiple quarts' in my shop for any specific oil. There will be a maximum however of the number of different oils used over the fleet.     Dizzy holds a nominal 5 quarts. So the first fill was indeed over as it actually took 4.75. My vehicles are fit with Valvomax valves so I can meter an ounce on the drain if need be. Found her mark first crack at it. Never to be repeated.    Pepper uses none between changes so I don't keep a quart in that one. Straight up 6 quarts put her dead on the full line. Check it ever fuel stop. They will surprise you when they start using.    Raven holds 3 liters or 5.44 ounces over three quarts. I add 3 quarts and 6 ounces. That gives me 5 oil changes on my orphan quart.    Lawnmower holds about 3/5 of a quart. I don't over fill it to prevent an orphan. So yea, depends.
