thanks man. yes. Cooper says they're 34.3" but with the weight of the truck on them at 40 psi they measure 33.75" I highly doubt a bigger tire would fit without a lift.

Is anyone reaiming their headlights after? I feel like I'm pissing a bunch of folks off.

I need to aim them down on mine, I always do it for all my customers when I level their trucks.. I guess I forgot on mine, I literally had the car in front of me last night try to use their vanity mirror to reflect the light back at me lol

Pls reaim. There's a lot of guys with trucks where I'm from and half of them don't reaim. Aggravates me everytime. And I'm lifted with a tinted windshield [emoji16]

2 inch RC level with 275/65/20 GY duratracs. Haven't noticed any rub, looks close to the carpet liner only.

Is there something really heavy in the bed of your truck?

For having only a RC 2", the front end of that truck looks like it sits much higher than the rear.

I'm going to be doing a 2.5" front level and I'll be putting an add-a-leaf in the rear. My question is which front level would be better. Just a upper strut spacer that lifts 2.5" or do I go with the one from Rough Country that has the lower and upper spacer?

I finally got around to adding a level to my truck. I went with the Motofab 2.5" top spacers. $55 shipped, cnc'd billet aluminum and powdercoated spacers. I measured with a tape measure on level ground and got the exact same measurements front and back. I don't know if it is just me being used to the rake or what, but I keep seeing the front being higher and it is driving me nuts. Must just be the angle I view the truck from.

Mine was just the upper spacer. IMO if you are going to do all the work to do upper and lower.. which requires removing the strut/spring assembly entirely, you might as well just do the upper spacer and be done with it. Either way you have to take out the entire assembly, but at least with doing just the upper spacer you are only adding hardware to the top, instead of top AND bottom.

The stock tires were in the bed , and my driveway there is going down hill. Truck sits pretty level.

I was just wondering if the bottom strut spacer helped with wear on the strut and keeping the right angle to the strut. I didn't know if adding just the top 2.5" spacer would throw the strut angle out of whack to much?

    • 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    
    • 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. 
    • 185k on original 6.2L engine and 10 speed. 6" lift with 35" tires. Changed oil (Mobil 1 synthetic) when truck told me to. Original tranny with original fluid and no service or flush done. All highway miles. A/C compressor replaced at 155k. Oil cooler line replaced at 180k. Still daily driver. Love this truck.   This is my 3rd 6.2L vehicle (2008 Yukon Denali / 2018 Cadillac Escalade) with over 150k miles and no issues. Denali had broken motor mount at 100k.
