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.

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

    • These show the problem and symptoms, and I explain things too. to clarify again, I did not change over any computers or wiring (with the exception of the map sensor). All of the computers and wiring are original to the 2010 vehicle   video 1 - background info/explanation and part of the problem   video 2, idle misfire   I think the reason that the MAP sensor is reading High is because the engine is misfiring so there is less vacuum...   Additionally there's a p0102 for the MAF low frequency, and a p0108 for the map high voltage.        Again, apologies for the somewhat long-winded explanation, it's a rather difficult problem to explain without going into the details. 
    • You'd want the Pulsar to be safe.  That was the first product that worked for 10 speed trucks that they came out with.   Range Technology 22451 Pulsar LT for 2019-2022 GM Gas Trucks     That said, in the features description of the RA003B, it does list it working with 10 speeds.  However there are reports that the RA003B can cause some drivability issues on early 10 speeds.  So the Pulsar is the safest move IMO.      Range Technology RA003B AFM/DFM Disabler   Features: Range AFM/DFM Disabler keeps you in full power 100% of the time Simply plug into your onboard OBD-II port and it instantly begins working to eliminate the AFM system Disables Auto Start/Stop Blue LEDs The Range AFM/DFM Disabler does not reprogram factory ECU Works in hundreds of applications, 2007-2022, including 10-speed models. Leaves no trace, unplug it to return to factory settings Virtually no battery draw Fits all V6 and V8 General Motors (GM) active or dynamic fuel management vehicles, includes cars, trucks, and SUVs This device does not support the 2022.5+ Refresh model trucks or 2021+ SUVs To confirm your 2022 model truck is compatible with this unit, check your VIN. The 12th digit in an early model must be a '4' or lower Made in USA
    • I have a 2019 new body style high country with a 6.2l L87 and a 10 speed transmission code MQB. Looking for a disabler that is compatible. Most show it’s not. I watched a video on utube from Dons Life that says Ranges RA003B is compatible but when you go to Ranges website and check compatibility it only has a 8L90 trans listed which is an 8 speed.  I don’t want to buy the wrong one. Anyone have any experience with this situation?
    • This actually happened. Be careful where you get your information re: gas price trends.  
    • I understand the principle...you don't want to spend $150 for a $0.02 piece of plastic or a little screw and perch thingy.   But this is a problem that looks like it can be reliably solved with a zip tie.   That might hold you over until you can score one at a pick-a-parts yard.
