Are you guys that are adding the 2" to 2.5" leveling kits also adding a diff drop?

No need for a diff drop to do a 2-2.5" level.

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

Ok, thanks, was just curious.  I did some reading and watched some videos of the installs and in many cases they still recommended a diff drop just to try and keep the CV angles as close to stock as possible.  Heck, from the videos, the drops were only spacers and not terribly difficult to install. 

 

I learned the hard way many years ago about drive shafts, drive angles, u-joints and such when I used to jack my trucks to stupid levels, so maybe I'm just being too sensitive :-)

Thanks!  It rides great.  90% is highway use.  It rides just a tad stiffer than stock.  It does have the Superlift shocks in rear that came with the kit and a Hellwig 7886 rear anti-sway bar was added.

perfect thank you!! Seems like the 18's are gonna have to get a new UCA's regardless of what you want to run. I wouldn't mind getting rid of the ranchos all together and getting bilsteins all around (with the superlift UCA's) or something. Eitherway, looks awesome!!

I'm still undecided which way to go. I'm leaning towards the RC 2", but has anyone installed the Rancho Loaded quickLIFT strut assemblies? It gives you 2" up front plus 9 position adjustable shocks and struts.

This looks really nice. Installed yourself? From what I read in the Superlift site, it comes with spacers for the diff too so the diff does drop down slightly, right? Stock front shocks?

Thanks!  I had a shop do the installation.  Yes, it comes with spacers to drop the diff.  Front shocks are factory.

What’s the actual tire specs? Factory wheels are you running spacers?

the actual specs say 33.8" so were rounding up here. it rubs at full lock both forward and reverse so im looking into 2" spacers until I can find a set of wheels I like

It looks good I want to level mine and leave the factory wheels and run spacers and a bigger more aggressive tire. What is the actual size (example 295/55/20) that’s what I was looking for

285/60/20 I like a wider tire rather than taller. I know some people on here run a 275/65/20 which is the stock width and just beefier. im not a fan of chevy's big wheel wells, cant fit a big tire in there to close the gap with out doing some mods.

      Mixed info from dealer and manual RE: 10 Speed 45K service

      By tjonesdfw · Posted

      I'm the original poster of this thread; I'm 85,000 miles now with no transmission issues after they did the fluid change without filter at 45,000.  I plan on a fluid change AND filter in another 5,000 miles and agree with you on staying to witness what happens if possible.  Ideally I would have done the filter at 45,000 too, but my original dealer was incompetent.  I've since moved on and get service done by another more reputable dealer, so I'm hopeful they follow the correct procedure at 90,000.

      Sure, but they do have some affordable options like the Trax, Trailblazer, Envista, and Encore. Some of these have a cheaper base price than the Civic, though the fuel economy isn’t as high. The main problem is that people WANT the highest trim with all the goodies and finance for like 7 years. That’s how ppl “afford” the more expensive vehicles.

      Holy s**t - not much of a parts thrower you say? You BLASTED that thing with the parts cannon!  You'd have been probably $1,000 ahead if you had just brought it to a competent shop rather than shotgunning a bunch of parts it clearly didn't need.   Just FYI - oil additives are really, REALLY good at ONE thing ... and that's emptying your wallet. They're ALL useless gimmicks.   If that has the L94 or L99, then #7 is an AFM cylinder. I'd suspect a failed lifter in that case.   If you leaned on wiring, sensors, and/or connectors while changing the oil, you'll have to check all that to be sure pins didn't get pulled out, connectors broken, etc.. Old wire loom that was barely adequate when new is certainly brittle by year 19 - make sure wires aren't chaffed and shorting out somewhere where you might have leaned. or supported yourself on it.   If your a mechanic, why didn't you just find out what you were missing and troubleshoot from there??  TIMED spark, fuel PSI / injector pulse, air, compression.  Can't make ANY money going the parts cannon route.

      LOL! Are you joking?? That wax SUCKS! 100% gimmick made to "look" good.    After just TWO winters I had severe surface rusting in patches over 90% of the frame. Only reason it looks great in the pics is because I SATURATED the frame every single fall with used motor oil for 14 of the 16 years I owned it. Otherwise it would've been sent to the crusher 8 years earlier with the speed it was rusting prior!    I sold that POS 3 years ago. Was a gigantic headache the second it rolled off the showroom floor. Brakes pulsated on the TEST DRIVE. Door trim fell off the 1st week! Interior squeaked and rattled, and the drivetrain clunked after 2k miles. 4x4 switch failed shortly after. Front end - ball joints, struts, hub bearings - all failed between 38k-50k. Engine started burning oil at 50k. Rear and and transmission failed before 100k. Nothing but problems, and frustration with the piss-poor engineering designed to make you give up. Well, it worked! Nothing on that truck was easy to remove ... except the wheels. They haven't figured out how to screw that up yet. Give 'em time ...   I won't make that mistake again. EVER.   Such fond memories ... https://postimg.cc/K1qf23tS  https://postimg.cc/gallery/X02z64J  https://postimg.cc/gallery/mHSRXZv  https://postimg.cc/gallery/D4mMRfL

      OBD not ready?

      By davester · Posted

      Different monitors do their test only under conditions specific to that monitor.  you MIGHT find the drive cycle conditions for the monitor that isn't ready on this site: https://lemon-manuals.la/   If it's not there, then it should be on alldata.com for your truck, but it requires a paid subscription.   And you need to know which specific monitor isn't ready.
