2 inch RC level with 275/65/20 GY duratracs. Haven't noticed any rub, looks close to the carpet liner only.

Block in the rear or just the front spacers?

Just the front spacer , the one that goes under the strut

Hey all, I'm just looking for a little advice/guidance on installing an RC 2" kit (front, no lift in back) this weekend. I tow a 28' travel trailer about 4-5k lbs depending on what we pack; will this level have any affect on towing? Any thing i need in addition? Next, I'm not going to be upgrading my stock 20"s for a while and am aware that I will need an alignment. Also, is this a 1 person job or easier with 2. I have done very little with front end work but am somewhat adept around a garage. Lastly, I have read the included installation instructions but is the you tube showing 2007-2015 leveling a good guide? Any and all hints or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! sorry if any of this has been covered within 187 pages, was starting to see double after a while. Thanks

I leveled my truck using the RC kit. It will definitely be easier doing the job with 2 people. The actual spacer install under the front strut is simple enough after you have disassembled everything. The 2nd person helps when it comes time to compress the strut, that now has the new spacer under it, so you can catch the nuts on the bolts that secure he strut to the lower control arm. I tried using a jack to lift the lower arm, but it raised the hole truck. Instead I had a friend push down on the upper arm, compressing the strut enough so I could catch the nuts.

 

I used the video shown on the RC website. Haven't been to the site in a while, but it was there at the time I did my truck (about a year ago).

Hey guys new to this site. I have a 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500 cc 4x4. It goes in tomorrow to get the 2.5 RC leveling kit and 20x9 +20 offset with 305/55/r20 grapplers m/t. Has anyone ran this setup if so are u having any rubbing?? Thanks

Never mind truck is done! 305/55/20 grapplers m/t with 2.5 RC leaving kit and no rubbing on 20x9 +20.

Checked a few different places today on cost to install the RC 2.5 level, front only. Got quotes ranging from 160-500ish. :-0 Probably going to go with Meineke, they were right at 200 plus alignment. Just need to find the time to get it scheduled now.

Can you post pics? I'd like to see this set up. Still thinking of what to do, and might just upgrade to 20" rim instead of the factory 18's.

What do you hope to gain going from an 18" wheel to a 20" wheel?

I would suggest saving your money for a meaningful mod., like a tune and keep your 18" wheels. Leaves you with a little more sidewall and costs less when it comes time for new tires.

I would say a set of wheels would be one of the most meaningful mods to any car or truck, it's atleast one of the easiest ways to change the look up.. Maybe he likes the looks of the 20s like most people.
