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

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."

    • Based on what I can tell, yes.   As for updating it, its a mixed bag.  Updates do fix a lot of issues, but occasionally can create some oddities.  They do more good than harm though overall.     Here's what the most current one does and a  V171 Improvements Important: Improvements will vary by model, build configuration, system, and sales region. Not all vehicles have all features.

After receiving and ending a call on the secondary paired phone, the cluster may get stuck on the phone menu. Bluetooth Intermittent Bluetooth connection loss.
    • Looking for help troubleshooting a metallic like front end rattle. Figured I’d see if anyone had thoughts before I schedule an appointment with the dealer.   The rattle is fairly loud and occurs primarily when the front driver side wheel hits a bump, even fairly minor road seams. Sometimes does it when the passenger hits a bump but I don’t believe when the rear hits. Rattle still occurs when foot is pressing brake peddle so I think that rules out the caliper rattle I’ve read about. I’ve also checked the running boards and they are tight.   Most noticeable at slow speeds.    Any insight is appreciated. 
    • We try to make cruise the coast. It’s where our favorite casino is. I only want to spectate. Never took a car. Always had one to take. I belonged to a club once. Even when I used to drag raced. It was during test and tune. Probably because I’m not a night owl, party person. 
    • We had a pretty big cars and coffee in Indy this past weekend.  Pretty much anything and everything was there.  
    • Good looking Olds, and TRX!   I haven't been into car shows either. I'm probably not a convert but I did push myself this year to attend a few select events to challenge some assumptions and try to experience car-based social clubs in a different way. I joined up with the local Hagerty group for some cars/coffee events, group drives. A month ago I showed my '94 Camaro I rescued last fall at Radwood. Had a good time, but, there was some sitting around with the car and that's the part of shows I don't enjoy as much. I prefer to be a spectator, walk the show, grab a burger, go home.   Radwood was the only era-limited event, but where it had strict model year limitations, it made it up in variety. Having Jason Camissa there was also a hoot.   Where I see old 50's car shows, doo-wop and winga dinga music stuff fading out, same with "only" vintage muscle clubs, it seems to be the activity-based clubs/events which are gaining strong popularity. Places where all cars and interests come together.
