Hello, about to pull the trigger on a rc 2.5 kit. I want to retain at least 1-2 inches of the factory rake. Anyone upgrade the 2" blocks that come with this kit to 3"? And if so have pics? Seems like even with the 2" block they're sitting only .5-1" higher in the rear which still makes them look nose high. I'd rather the rake, and yes I am also thinking about leaving the .5" top spacer out and just going with the 2" block. But I'd like Pics if you're running 3" blocks with this kit. Hard to make the mind up lol

RC 2" lower spacer only, stock rear height, crappy stock LS2 tires on stock 20" wheels. My driveway is slightly up hill but there still is about a 1 1/2 " rake.

Here's mine with 2.5" front and 3" rear blocks.

Check out my truck, it has rear airbags instead of larger blocks:

Yes this is the look, very nice. Did you have to get the longer shocks in the rear or do the stockers work. Also do you have measurements from fenders to ground? Txs

Hello

First official post on the forums. New to the truck scene, drive a 2014 silverado which I'm going to install a 2" RC leveling kit on. I want to stick with either 18 or 20 inch rims up to 32" or 33"max tire size. I also want to install bushwacker style pocket fender flares but am thinking with that minimal of a leveling and no additional lift it will look funny because i would have to run a 9 or 10 inch wide rim at a low or negative offset to push out the tire and wheel. Any input would be appreciated. Thank you

Leave the fenders alone, yes it will look funny. Fenders are for 35+ tires imo. Les schwab told me with a 2", 285 65 18 fit the best. Are you going to install yourself? super easy to do! I made my own kit, before I bought Bilstien 5100s adjustables.

I absolutely love this setup..

 

Much better than the 2" leveling kit I got.

 

Where did you get your kit and blocks?

 

Thanks.. [emoji16]

Ever think about ditching the mud flaps? Cleaned it up a bit.

Thanks! I used a 2.5" Motofab kit (2" bottom of shock and 1/2" on top) and 3" rear motofab blocks! Originally had a 2" on it only and looked small. Really like the look now. Here's a front stance pic b9d6d86918feffe7081760f6980c507d.jpg

Ya I would like to ditch the flaps but I drive a lot of gravel and crappy highways here in Manitoba (Canada) and they make a huge difference protecting the underside of the truck. Plus the duratracs throw stones like crazy, saves other drivers windshields
