2" motofab rear block (1" lift)

Has 28mm bora spacers due to level causing uca rub.
After going to 33" tires had to trim aftermarket mud flaps and zip tie wheel liner due to rub. 557376dfd579ef80f20e6843f8efa283.jpg

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

Here’s to all y’all that said 285/70/18 would rub with a 2” RC leveling kit. Well I’m here to tell you they don’t but lord have mercy it’s close.

Dang, you really wanted everyone to see this by posting in 10 different threads!

 

Looks good -- nice and beefy, but your definition of "fit" might be limited to level straight pavement running.   At full lock with any kind of suspension compression, they are going to hit.  May just rub a little, or may catch the liner and start shredding it.    Looks like a tire more suited for a 4" lift than a level.    Glad you posted this because it confirms that my 285/65/R18s are the biggest I can run on my 2.5 level 2014 Sierra based on the way I use my truck.

Installing motofab 3” front and 2” rear leveling kit on 16 Sierra. I want to also add new UCA while I’m in there. Looking at motofab UCAs. What tire rim combo can I run without rubbing the UCAs. Buying 20x9 rims just need to know offset that will clear. I’m thinking +6 or less should be fine?

 

thanks

is that the front or rear?  have a hard time believing it wont rub at full lock...but if it doesnt and you can drive it, good on you.  little too close for my taste.

That’s the front at full lock to the left. Had these a couple weeks now and still no rub. Here’s a better view.

I’ve posted elsewhere but figured it goes here as well. Fairly recently did a 2.25” level with 285/60r20 Toyo Open Country ATIIs and really like the look and the ride!

I liked this setup and ordered it, minus the UCAS, yesterday.  Trying to decide if the control arms are necessary.

Not necessary but when i go 1" higher in the summer i will not have to change my uca's. I was proactive when i did this. Still liking my set up.

Thanks for the follow up. That’s good to hear. My kit should be here today and I’ll install it tomorrow.

Not sure if this is the right place to post, but I have a 2018 GMC Sierra All Terrain. I want to get a level completely on the truck and remove the rake. I also want to fit some 33.5’s-34’s by 11-11.5 wide tires and still keep good or better ride quality. I’m thinking of keeping my stock 20’s or possibly later get some Method 17’s. What are some good options for a daily driver such as myself. Not looking to rock crawl. Can I just put some Bilstein 5100’s in the front and remove the rear block? Any help would be appreciated. If this has been answered before I apologize but 250 pages is a lot to look at! Thank you!

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      That's interesting, I assume that would add to the cost of the oil but also I was forgetting to bring up the issue of the low tension rings allowing more oil past which in turn forces the cats to have more oil additives pass through them that wouldn't otherwise so they are creating that problem and of course its all in the name of fuel economy. Mind you the other issue would be the lack of additives that fight the formation of carbon within the piston ring grooves which turn the engine into an oil burner and with in this GM forums case is your average off the shelf Dexos licensed oil, meanwhile the other off the shelf oil being Valvoline's R&P isn't licensed and the only one that is which is that certain Mobil oil that came out recently ( its not even being marketed in Canada ) and only a fraction of vehicle owners are going to be using it out of all the other oils on the shelf or the quickie lube bay that meet the Dexos spec by way of actual licensing.    Also I suspect that its an easy excuse to pool the non turbo DI engines in with the turbo DI engines and design the oil to not have LSPI issues in the most demanding engines and short change the naturally aspirated DI by not offering a higher concentration of additive package they could handle and still not be at risk of LSPI.    I wonder if Amsoil flipped the switch just lately and did whatever packaging designation at the same time as I wonder what oil formulation I would have bought in May, of course I don't know when it was packaged at the factory vs how long it was in storage at the Edmonton warehouse. I know its been said at least in the past that the big players switch over to a reformulated oil but the packaging has not changed until they make that move as well so there is that cross over time where its a new formulation in a predated formula marked package.

      Hmm. A real reason to not just use the odometer to determine OCI?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sad thing is that this doesn't have to be the case. LSPI can be solved without a reduction in TBN. Swap Ca for Mg.  Cats are not a issue if the OEM can get a ring and valve guide seal even at SN levels of SAPS. Dizzy is purring like a kitten with a bowl of warm milk. 200K of Full SAPS oil and zero detonation issues and nice a clean inside and out. This shouldn't be an issue. It isn't 1920.    Tell ya what AMSOIL SS is excellent at, internal cleanliness. The new formula is even a step up from their already outstanding cleanliness levels. Can't say the OEM offering is quite that clean. There marketing suggest the SS is cleaner.     That is the only defense with at shelf oil. Nothing wrong with them if you ignore the marketing and OEM 'recommended' OCI and use a thimble full of common sense. 😉 You go sir.

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By StingerZ16 · Posted

      I started with a folding cover by BAK PAC on my 2500. It went bad after close to 5 years. Bent and vinyl coming loose. Contacted BAK and they gave me a very good discount on a Revolver. Had it a number of years. Mostly outdoor storage. Some garage storage. Vinyl started to come loose. Still under warranty so they replaced to cover. Sold the 2500, bought the 1500 and got another revolver for it. Had it a couple years now and no issues. I store it indoors. Got a bit of discount when buying it as well. If you are seeing problems, contact BAK or real truck and let them know. Customer service was pretty good. But I think they changed their warranty.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I agree, there is no one answer fits all as every rig is different, one may be pulling some little aluminum fishing boat while another is towing a monstrosity that weighs a lot and hopefully the owner if the rig has some prior experience to know what drive mode they should choose.    It also struck me and this is from watching a few of those boat ramp escapades videos in the past, Ford being one of the vehicles that has the auto front axle hubs and sure enough its found out that one hub has crapped out and won't engage and may not have manual hubs to even select on both sides so they are on the boat ramp stuck with no four wheel drive and spinning .... they flat out need a tow to get up the ramp and deal with the vehicles new found issues. That can happen to all brands of pickup, finding out either four wheel drive or 4 low isn't working right at the time its needed it to work as some electronic crap has failed.
