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.

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.

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?

      Well one of our most reliable vehicles was sold yesterday. The first and only I gave for free to a grandkid. If they got skin in the game they take care of it. My wife bought new. Five years later my daughter got it to use. We got it back and gave it to our grandson after graduation. He did zero maintenance just oil changes. When the AC quit he drove his mother’s car rather than get it fixed. Instead he just bought a beater and sold the Elantra.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.

      What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.
