After running the 1.5" blocks for about a week the suspension has settled and I still notice a squatting appearance. So I just ordered the 2" steel blocks with new U bolts and hope I get the stance I am looking for.31263c5a718cc580dc60824ddba1d304.jpg72a4e11f15bf7a2a17d7987ba7705449.jpg

Those tires and the height really set the truck off. Looks good.

Thanks a lot guys! Theoretically I should be gaining only 1/2" but I went with a different brand of lift blocks so we shall see. I am excited and will post pics for you to see.

Factory Height: Front 36.75"

Rear 39.5"

After tires and leveling kit Front: 39 3/8"

plus 1.5 Blocks Rear 40"

 

Tires are Federal Couragia M/T 33 12.50 R20

They were $755 shipped to my home from Walmart. Comments vary on reviews as they used to have sidewall incidents. I took a risk as two of my local friends have been running them for two years already with no issues. What I gathered from them is that the old white wall Federals were the faulty ones and people were running them too low PSI. Anyways I will let you know with time but as of now I love them. They look great and ride great.3690356b4be057bdd28c3cbb0f051022.jpg

Leveling kit is coming now I need a 33x12.50x22 set of tires. Not looking to pay 1800 for a set for my stock wheels to be used but I don't want to step down to a 20" wheel that I particularly don't like. Hmmmmmm

After having the drivers side upper control arm stick and my passenger wheel stuck to the hub, I finally finished my 2" rough country install. My truck feels a lot more like my F150 Fx4 now.

 

If it wasn't for the two hang ups this kit should've taken me 2 hours.

 

I'd love to see those guys on the YouTube videos installing these kits, work on truck with 40-50k miles instead of those brand new, every bolt removes easily trucks.

14 silverado with 2.5 rough country leveling kit with 20x10 Hostile Sprocket wheels laced with 33x12.5r20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. I did minor plastic cutting with no rub. I was told it couldn't be done and it was easily doneattachicon.gifIMG_20161229_163643_472.jpg

Truck looks sick. Love the black wheels. I almost went with a 20x10 but I got no lift yet and my pockets are hurting right now. Lol

I had the motofab and attempted the self install and with only 500 miles on my 2017 the upper control arm on drivers side would not give so i took it to "one stop shop" and bammm they made me look like a wimp lol. I swear i was hitting it hard and have a BFH just like yours. Perhaps i was just nervous of working on a brand new truck.

    • 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.
    • 2015 Sierra 1500 here. Leaks from the sunroof to front driver side and soaks carpet. How do I fix this? Thanks!
    • 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.
    • 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?
    • There's a bunch of tea leaves that you've read, but in any case the delayed timing is unusual. Not sure how that relates to the rich at idle vs. 'normal' while driving.   If you're in this deep, might be worth investigating, and re-learning the sensor. What have you got to lose? Plus, it properly fixes the timing cover leak.
