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.

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 :-)

this looks perfect to me (height-wise). how are you liking the lift so far? How does it do on the highway? Looks awesome!

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.
