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?

    • On 2021 3500hd it consistently sets automatically when selecting park if the incline/decline is above a certain angle. 
    • Curious, did anyone ever get a fix for the vibration reported here.   I have a 2024 Silverado with 6.6 duramax.   I’m noting the same vibration resonating up through the steering shaft into the steering wheel.    Best way to describe- like someone is tapping on the steering shaft/components and it’s resonating into the steering wheel.    thanks. 
    • Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions? 
    • 2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!  
    • Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.
