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

I can’t be the only one has the vibration issue with a leveling kit out there! Like I said my ‘17 denali was perfect with a rc 2” leveling kit. My 18 denali shakes under a load. ESP in 4 wheel drive. Had rc 2.5 and currently has readylift 1.5 with factory block in back. Both have shake issues. Really regretting my good buy on the 18 now ??  I guess if there is anyone else that had this issue, I’m curious what was done if anything to fix issue. Would really hate to go back to stock

Why did you go from a 17 to a 18? So without the level theres no shake?

Honesty the dealer called me and gave me an awesome deal. I really like this body style so I thought why not have the newest in this style I could get. Now I really wish I wouldn’t have. Yes without the level everything is fine.

2.5 rough country, seems like I didn’t get a full 2 inches of lift. Front I remember was about 36 1/2 and after kit I’m at 38 1/2. I had a shit ton of rake the back was at 39 1/2 and now it sits just under 40 1/2. Wheels and tires this upcoming Saturday throwing on 285/55r20 ridge grapplers on 20x10 xd 820 grenades

After looking around for weeks I went with 2.5” motofab leveling kit. I was lucky enough to have a 2014 GMC Sierra Denali before magneride or else that would have definitely cut down on my options. The place I got my wheels and tires had this thing installed in about an hour and 15 minutes. I love the simplicity of just a spacer on top. And so far the ride is same as stock.

Why would it cut down on your options? 

 

 

I have the 2017 with the suspension maxx 2.5. all you have to do is have the dealer "re-zero" the magnaride in the computer.

I didn’t do it because the clips were very fragile and where they plug into the electric power steering is a fragile area I could tell I was going to break if I kept trying to unplug them. I got one off but the other two plugs were not going off without breaking. I unplugged the battery and had no issues. You just need to make sure you support your lower control arm and knuckle after you break loose the upper ball joint and unbolt the ABS line otherwise it will snap. I couldn’t believe it wasn’t in the instructions to do that.

Just keep an eye on all brake lines and abs lines and you will be fine, I installed the 2.5 inch RC yesterday took about 3 1/2 hours for the front and rear.

You have to unless you only want to do the bottom 2 inch, in that case why get the 2.5 kit.?

      PF63 Oil Filters Going Away?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      The guy that owns K&P filters last I checked in with him has over 300,000 miles on his Dodge base Hemi using his own 35 micron absolute stainless mesh filter from its first oil change.    The GM study I've posted a dozen times shows the relationship in engine life based in multiples of base units, not miles or years. That is the base unit is the number of miles the motor ran using the reference filter efficiency.    The above two paragraphs dismantle anecdotal arguments IF one changes oil often enough to prevent particle formation and the motor is in otherwise good shape. That is not full of silica (no air filter) or suffering a metallurgical issue that is not part of the lubrication discussion. Poor heat treat in example.   Data from UOA's I've reviewed from more than a few engines can show remarkably broad variations in oil cleanliness using the exact same filter over the course of an engines life.     Lastly there is the common sense of it. Wear debris WILL circulate the engine BEFORE it ever sees a filter in route to that filter and WILL harm the pump which NEVER sees filtered oil.    Alpha question then becomes, given the facts, how long do you believe is a reasonable service life from a vehicle you are certain you will not pass down? That is the junk yard will be it's resting place when you're done with it? (the moral issue most don't care about).    Omega question is then how diligent are you prepared to be in general mechanical, air & oil maintenance? Preventing particulates and keeping them sufficiently dilute; preventing the precursors from generation, amalgamation and precipitation.    If I get a good look at the engine bay of a vehicle I have a fair idea of the owners commitment to the inside of the power train. That 30 micron WIX is still more efficient than a sieve.

      It also depends on what criteria someone is using for “best” when talking filters.  Are we going off best efficiency?   Best quality/QC?  Etc. because the two may not mutually exclusive.

      They’re not the same wiz as 10-15 years ago.  QC has fallen pretty hard.  The XP line was never good though in the first place.    https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/wix-filter-rusted-through.386492/post-6991372   https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/i-ve-used-my-last-wix-filter.27299/   https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/looking-for-a-better-replacement-for-wix-51258.403977/   https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/convince-me-in-using-the-purolator-boss.401537/post-7420147   the forums are littered with posts and examples of not great wix filters the last couple years

      I'd guess that it's because they are Mann-Hummel filters since about 2016, they own Wix and are mostly all made in China now.
