This comment is kinda ignorant in itself, no offense. There could definitely be a sticky on "lessons learned" but you don't just buy a truck one day and have the knowledge. For every post that explains why you shouldn't do a 3" level there's 10 posts with guys who do it "successfully".

 

Just sayin'

And from what I saw in my months of looking before and after I bought a truck, those people never seem to report back with long term reports on how ball joints and TRE's handle the extra stresses of those "successful" kits. It's the ones that say "I put this 3"+ leveling or budget lift on my truck and realize I effed up" then come looking for the advice that already litters this board and can be found with a simple search. Those of us that actually heed the great advice on the board should at least get to have a little fun at someone's expense while we correct their issues.

I don't disagree with you Stretch. Just thought it could have been more tactfully said. I couldn't tell you were joking. All good.

Just got done installing tge RC 2.5 leveling lift kit. Question for the 2016 owners, the bottom struts spacers screw kit that y'all get, were they long enough??? Mines came kinda short for my liking. The YouTube video installation / probably a 2014/2015 modal are long enough

@7:39 but on my 2016 truck they are too short. Did I get the wrong screw sets?

Its the new Mineral Metallic

Ahhh, gotcha. I wonder if Mineral and Pepperdust are the same thing...except one is for GMC and the other is Chevy? Regardless, your truck looks really nice!

No, they are different and both for GMC but Mineral is only available in a Denali.
