Hello, about to pull the trigger on a rc 2.5 kit. I want to retain at least 1-2 inches of the factory rake. Anyone upgrade the 2" blocks that come with this kit to 3"? And if so have pics? Seems like even with the 2" block they're sitting only .5-1" higher in the rear which still makes them look nose high. I'd rather the rake, and yes I am also thinking about leaving the .5" top spacer out and just going with the 2" block. But I'd like Pics if you're running 3" blocks with this kit. Hard to make the mind up lol

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.

RC 2" lower spacer only, stock rear height, crappy stock LS2 tires on stock 20" wheels. My driveway is slightly up hill but there still is about a 1 1/2 " rake.

Check out my truck, it has rear airbags instead of larger blocks:

Yes this is the look, very nice. Did you have to get the longer shocks in the rear or do the stockers work. Also do you have measurements from fenders to ground? Txs

Hello

First official post on the forums. New to the truck scene, drive a 2014 silverado which I'm going to install a 2" RC leveling kit on. I want to stick with either 18 or 20 inch rims up to 32" or 33"max tire size. I also want to install bushwacker style pocket fender flares but am thinking with that minimal of a leveling and no additional lift it will look funny because i would have to run a 9 or 10 inch wide rim at a low or negative offset to push out the tire and wheel. Any input would be appreciated. Thank you

Leave the fenders alone, yes it will look funny. Fenders are for 35+ tires imo. Les schwab told me with a 2", 285 65 18 fit the best. Are you going to install yourself? super easy to do! I made my own kit, before I bought Bilstien 5100s adjustables.

Ever think about ditching the mud flaps? Cleaned it up a bit.

Thanks! I used a 2.5" Motofab kit (2" bottom of shock and 1/2" on top) and 3" rear motofab blocks! Originally had a 2" on it only and looked small. Really like the look now. Here's a front stance pic b9d6d86918feffe7081760f6980c507d.jpg

Ya I would like to ditch the flaps but I drive a lot of gravel and crappy highways here in Manitoba (Canada) and they make a huge difference protecting the underside of the truck. Plus the duratracs throw stones like crazy, saves other drivers windshields

      TCM Tuning 6L80E

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.

      Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.
