Can you do measurements of the amount of lift it adds, the rancho page says that it will make your truck able to run 35s but doesn't say what it needs to be paired with if anything.

 

I found only one video of a guy running 35s with them.

35 won't work I ran my 305/55/r20 with the stock wheels and they run a little and now with my 20x10 they still rub a little that why I think 35 won't clear I bought the Rancho Struts thinking I would be able to clear the tires

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

RANCHO RS999901

Has anyone used this to replace the entire strut assembly to level my truck? I can do this easily. Otherwise I was going to go with the Bilstein shock replacement and have to get a spring compressor and all. Thanks.

thats the exact set up I did on my truck love it and did it in 30 mins my dad did the same thing and he loves it

He hammered and ground the hell out of his fenders. It's in his comments on the YouTube video.

 

"Take a grinder and big hammer to the back fender about 1" or less, and with the front you need a heat gun to move the molding or just cut the plastic"

I'm not sure what you're asking? But changing control arms won't really allow you to stuff a larger tire.

 

Some MIGHT allow you to fit a slightly wider one if you're having issues with a large positive offset and rubbing tires on the alum/stamped steel control arms. But only if the new control arm shape doesn't stick out quite as far where that rubbing occurs.

 

You might need the new UCAs to take advantage of any extended travel you might have with the new height, if any.

Without reading 373373 pages, if I'm looking for 2", is it better to space above, space below, or split the difference to minimize harsh suspension travel.

Dont think it matters much, think most 2 inch are lower and easier to install. 2.5 and up seem to be both.

Question for you guys. I cut off the service perches when I put my King coilovers on. Im probably going back to the stock set up but I wont have the perches anymore. Will my truck be ok without them in the stock configuration?

I have a 2.5'' leveling kit installed on my 2015. It's a bottom U spacer only. Truck kreaks and moans at low speed under 25mph. Sounds like shit and rides pretty rough on the terrible SC roads where I live. I think its due to the limited down travel it has caused? Anyways I had a shop look at it and they said they couldn't figure it out as to why it made the noise. Im getting pretty fed up with it. I am looking at changing it up somehow but do not know what to get. I am thinking maybe the fox 2.0 coilers will solve the problem but they are pricey and would hate to install them and the noise continues. also looking at RC 3.5'' with uca's but have heard mixed reviews. Any suggestions appreciated.

 

thanks,

Mine and my dads. Both have 2.25" readylift level. He's running 285/75 Toyo at2s and I'm running 285/75 Toyo MTs. 127263daaac1496ab2fc7b8169490935.jpg

No spacers, very minor rub on sway bars at a hard full lock with the MTs, no rub with the at2s. The tire shop zip tied the fender carpets. Both trucks have been "off road" crossing creeks, smaller water bars, and small ditches. I'm sure if I did major off roading like some guys on here I might have more problems, but I take it easy on my truck. I have atvs to get to the "backwoods."

      TCM Tuning 6L80E

      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.

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

      Atlas, you kill me As aggravating as a project like this can be you have been unable to hide your fascination with learning and using that angst against this beast like a Ninjitsu Master. It amuses you, admit it now.      BTW, love your writing style. 😉
