Block in the rear or just the front spacers?

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.

Hey all, I'm just looking for a little advice/guidance on installing an RC 2" kit (front, no lift in back) this weekend. I tow a 28' travel trailer about 4-5k lbs depending on what we pack; will this level have any affect on towing? Any thing i need in addition? Next, I'm not going to be upgrading my stock 20"s for a while and am aware that I will need an alignment. Also, is this a 1 person job or easier with 2. I have done very little with front end work but am somewhat adept around a garage. Lastly, I have read the included installation instructions but is the you tube showing 2007-2015 leveling a good guide? Any and all hints or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! sorry if any of this has been covered within 187 pages, was starting to see double after a while. Thanks

I leveled my truck using the RC kit. It will definitely be easier doing the job with 2 people. The actual spacer install under the front strut is simple enough after you have disassembled everything. The 2nd person helps when it comes time to compress the strut, that now has the new spacer under it, so you can catch the nuts on the bolts that secure he strut to the lower control arm. I tried using a jack to lift the lower arm, but it raised the hole truck. Instead I had a friend push down on the upper arm, compressing the strut enough so I could catch the nuts.

 

I used the video shown on the RC website. Haven't been to the site in a while, but it was there at the time I did my truck (about a year ago).

Checked a few different places today on cost to install the RC 2.5 level, front only. Got quotes ranging from 160-500ish. :-0 Probably going to go with Meineke, they were right at 200 plus alignment. Just need to find the time to get it scheduled now.

Can you post pics? I'd like to see this set up. Still thinking of what to do, and might just upgrade to 20" rim instead of the factory 18's.

What do you hope to gain going from an 18" wheel to a 20" wheel?

I would suggest saving your money for a meaningful mod., like a tune and keep your 18" wheels. Leaves you with a little more sidewall and costs less when it comes time for new tires.

I would say a set of wheels would be one of the most meaningful mods to any car or truck, it's atleast one of the easiest ways to change the look up.. Maybe he likes the looks of the 20s like most people.

      287,500 Mile Service   8/13/2026   Reset Fuel Trims   Since the work done in the previous post there was a good improvement in response in all areas except right after a fill up where the LTFT would go -20%+ for about four miles while the STFT was near neutral. Before the work they both went very negative for a few miles after a fill up but act normal thereafter.    We did a systems check of the vapor recovery system for functionality and ability to hold a vacuum. That checked out fine. But this doesn't mean the charcoal canister is dead in the water. Testing that is next up. For now the reset of the fuel trims.    I intentionally shorted the fill exactly two gallons to eliminate any chance of filling the canister. On start up the trims were behaving normally until I got up and rolling where the LTFT went -10 / -11%% but the short was + 2 to 0%. Within a mile the the STFT offset the LTFT and by 2 miles they were neutral. HUGE improvement but still not hunky-dory.    I'll watch them for a few days. Perhaps another tank where I will fill completely to 'first click' and compare. Meanwhile on the hunt for a new canister and I'll toss another purge value at it for good measure. Pending the outcome of the canister test that is. Progress of any kind is welcome.    Fuel economy improvement with bringing hole #3 back to the living was a noticeable bump to the positive. Even on the few miles I drove after the refill I already see another bump up by the trims reset.     She's purring like a kitten with a warm bowl of milk.    BTW, adding 50 rpm to the idle took the majority of the negative timing out on cold start up and leaned the cold idle. No longer burbles in the cat. What a dumb way to heat a cat.

      Yeah, shame I can’t really get that filter easily anymore. Running a PureOne. Your fave!    TAN would be neat to see. Confirmation I ran it too long probably. 🤣

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By superdave160 · Posted

      My son and I both bought new trucks in 2017. Both of us immediately put Truck Covers USA American Roll Covers on our trucks. My son still has his truck and it never sees the inside of a garage. We live in Alabama, so not much snow. My truck was my daily driver and was in the garage when I wasn't driving it or at work. No issues with either cover even after almost 9 years. About a year ago I sold my truck to my brother and bought a 2025 Silverado 2500. The second thing that I put on that truck was a new Truck Covers USA cover. They are very well made and have a very positive locking system. I looked at a Retrax and my concern was the way that the cover locked to the rail. BTW, the first thing I put on the new truck was step bars. Those new trucks are high!

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      The Allison 10 speed torque converter doesn't "lock up" like the previous transmissions. It has 4 operational modes; open, slip, transition from open to slip; transition from slip to open. I have an Edge CTS3 monitor and I monitor transmission torque converter slip. Step on the gas and you get a little slip. Take your foot off the gas and you get a little negative slip. I have not found a way to display the torque converter mode beyond that. My Edge CTS3 also displays something that our trucks should already display, the current gear. I also monitor throttle body position and engine load. If I see the engine load getting too high, I'll manually drop a gear.

      Nice result. Your filter is working well  I'd have like to have seen the acid number for this sample. Curious type that I am.
