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."

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
