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.

Mine is finally done! After months of research I went with the RC 2.5" level kit front only, stock rear block. 20"x9" Fuel Nutz w/ +1 offset, 33x12.50x20 Toyo M/T tires. No rubbing, No trimming, yet a

Ok, dealer may be inexperienced. I will try an alignment shop. I just didn't want to be taking it to 2-3 paying for it and in the end it cant be "perfectly" alighned.

 

No mods just the quick lifts. I do have the rancho rears and a block, but if you drive a speed bump on the front end that's big wow do you ever move on the front. you bounce. so to me it seems like the springs are to stiff. Ive tried all settings and they react the same.

 

 

just a bit disappointing, I don't quite remember these days what the stock ride was like but vaguely remember it being very smooth and comfortable. I avoid speed bumps because you bounce so bad!

I put the 2.5" Rancho ReadyLift on my F150. It was a horrible ride just like you are talking about. I put the 2.5 Level on my '14 Sierra and it's much better than my Ford with the ReadyLift. I would just suck it up and get rid of that lift and go to a leveling kit. Lift is too short to ride in a truck like that.

 

First of all, yes, your dealer can align it; they are choosing not to. Having a crooked steering wheel would drive me nuts.

 

Wheel alignment is a crap shoot. I went to one of our better known 4x4 places after I put my level on and they brought it into "green" specs. Only the Toe was out. But it was wearing the LF tire bad, so I took it back and they said it was a degree off. Still noticed wear on LF, so at 15K service at dealer today, I had FE alignment done. Their print out said the LF was fine but the RF was off. ?? That makes no sense to me as the RF was not wearing. I had an X rotation done, so I'll monitor treadwear and see what happens. At this rate, there is no way I'm get 65K out of my Nittos.

if you get the leveling kit that goes on the bottom of the front struts and you only take off the bolts for the lower part of the shock and install the spacers, do you really need to get it aligned again? You are not messign with any other parts of the front suspension that would require to get it realigned....

what can i do to get a bit more lift...... it has a 2" level and I am running 305/55/20s I just feel like it needs more lift.

 

Can i run a 4" lift and have it not look like it has really small tires??

Has anyone seen this exact Chevy leveled but without the split chrome horizontal grill? There is a solid horizontal grill that looks sick, just saw it, wanting to see what it looks like leveled.

Yes, it changes quite a bit actually. Any time you do suspension mods, even just strut replacement an alignment is recommended.

I have this Rough Country kit and did need an alignment after it was installed. Truck only had 3,000 miles on it at the time.

I recently added a 1" level and 275/60/20 Cooper AT3 tires. it raised the front end just over 2". I still wanted a little rack in the truck. Overall I am pleased. I would post pics but cant figure out how.

I take pictures with my phone, email them to myself, save the image from my email onto my computer.

Some others just copy and paste a link where they already uploaded the pictures to a 3rd party website.

I had an issue with 4 Wheel Parts. I ordered TA KO2 on 12/30, got told I'd see them end of next month, today.

 

I called Discount Tire who had 4 in stock, they matched my price and I picked them up tonight. I hope to install level soon and the tires.

      Post your UOA, (used oil analysis) here

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Here's the second UOA on my 22 Wrangler with the Ecodiesel. This has 5k miles on AMSOIL Signature Series DEO 5w-40. The first one was dealer installed oil, no clue what it was, the second is what AMSOIL recommended, European FS 5w-40, Most of the Ecodiesel world is showing great results using the European MS 5w-40, I figured I would see how the DEO works. This is using an Ecoguard oil filter. It's my understanding this engine likes to shed aluminum.  We will see. So far I don't think this is too bad.

      Disable DRL's

      By revmanii · Posted

      I'm surprised nobody seems to offer a solution like the start/stop device I put in my new truck. Remembers my setting when shutdown. And while it still starts up in start/stop, it stores/evaluates what mode it was in when shut down and will change it whithin a second or 2 of startup. It'd be nice to have something like that for the DRLs.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      I will be doing that for sure, but I need to solve who has/ where I can find a bidirectional scan tool that will support OBD 1.5. I'm kicking myself because I ebay'ed a Snap On MT2500 that I didn't think I'd ever need anymore. D'oh!! I'd rather not buy another, so I'll contact a few local shops to see if they have one and how much they'd want to do the procedure. I'd rather have the ability to do it myself... I wish there was a modern tool that could do it all, but I'd have no idea what to buy.   The theory with the pulled timing is that it mimics a rich condition. The delayed spark causes incomplete burn and the O2 sensor picks up low oxygen levels. That's interpreted as a rich condition so the PCM pulls fuel and that shows up in the deeply negative fuel trims.

      Joke Thread

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      An ultra wealthy man had the most beautiful daughter. But, there was a problem. Everything she touched would melt in her hands. No matter what, Metal, Wood, Stone. Anything she touched would melt. She could not feed herself. Because of this, men were afraid of her. Nobody would dare marry her. Her father was despaired. What could he do to help his daughter? He consulted doctors, scientists and anybody who could solve this problem. Finally one of them said, "If your daughter touches one thing that does not melt in her hands, she will be cured." He was overjoyed and came up with a plan. The next day, he held a competition. Any man who could bring his daughter an object that would not melt in her hands would be given billions of dollars to marry her. Three extremely intelligent and handsome young men took up the challenge. The first brought a very heavy steel rod, But alas, when the she touched it, it completely melted in a matter of seconds. He sadly went away. The second brought a beautiful diamond, knowing diamonds were one of the hardest substance in the world and would not melt. But alas, once she held it in her hand, it melted. He too was sent away disappointed. So now, there was one left He was very nervous & sweating. He approached the daughter & said, “put your hand in my pants pocket and feel what is in there." She did exactly what he asked. She felt something very hard. She held it in her hand, squeezing it as hard as she could. It did not melt & remained extremely hard. Her father was overjoyed. Everybody was overjoyed. She was finally cured. Nothing never, ever melted in her hand again. They married and they both lived happily ever after, raising a wonderful family. Question: What was in the the groom’s pants pocket??? Answer below ↓ M&Ms of course! They melt in your mouth, not in your hand. What on earth were you thinking?
