I just got the Rough Country 2" level and the Bilstein adjustable shocks put on the front and a 2' block in the rear. I had them adjust the shocks just to the first level. A total of 2.75" in the front and .75" in the rear. I put 305/65r18 BF Goodrich KOs. No rubbing at all, they measure about 33.7" tall. I couldn't be happier with how my truck turned out.

Got any pics? This is what I was going to do but held of because I wasn't sure how the ride would be.

Sorry about the crappy cell pics and how dirty the truck is. First nice day here in the great white north. Will take some more pics tomorrow when I get my new rim and tire setup on.

Has anyone else noticed a mark where their spindles and lower control arm are coming in contact after leveling? I have the mark on both sides on the front side of the lower control arm.

 

That does not look good. What size and type of lift did you have done?

I have a 2" rancho quicklift. I have a feeling its just because I have yet to get it aligned and the toe in is causing it.

Help me out, I can't make up my mind on which tires to get.

 

I have factory 20x9 Black Chrome Sierra wheels on my Silverado. They came with 275/55 Conti LX20 Eco tires. I want to put an AT tire on, but I can't make up my mind.

 

I have no plans to lift, but I don't mind doing a level if I have to. I would prefer to stay stock height though.

 

Should I just get a AT Tire in 275/55, or do you think I'll be fairly safe with 305/50?

RC 2 inch spacer and bilstein at +.75 in front and RC 2 inch block in the rear and bilstein 5100. Love the set up. Rides awesome. 100 times better then stock ranchos.

How are your UCAs? Are they maxed out? I'm going to run my Bilsteins at 1.85" for the next decade or so until i either A.) Go with a coilover setup, new UCAs equating to a 3" lift. or B.) buy a long travel suspension kit and be done with it.

Yes, you need an alignment. I popped my Rancho Quicklifts in and went to Firestone for the lifetime alignment. The guy at Firestone said my alignment was way off due to the Quicklifts.

Could you post a couple more pics? That stance looks perfect. What's you wheel and tire combo?

    • 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:  
    • 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. 
    • Thanks for the point of reference 
    • 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.
