Did you use your stock U bolts or get new ones?

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

Good evening Gentleman. Long time lurker, first time poster. I bought my 2016 LT CC in June of 2016. I'm currently stuck between a 2.25" procomp leveling kit or the 4" procomp lift. I'm looking at running at 20x10 -24 offset wheel on 33s. Not sure of a tire yet. Does anyone know if this will rub? I'm okay with trimming the front valance some but really not comfortable with the idea of metal trimming. If I need to go down to a 20x9 0 offset without having too many issues so be it. I'm willing to compromise...to an extent lol. Thanks ahead of time!

Yeah true. Not a fan of all that either. I've decided on the motofab 2.5" front kit but I'm going back and forth between the 1" and 2" blocks to go in the rear. Do you have any pics of your setup?

2.5 is a great safe bet for sure, and will Look awesome. Not sure if all factory blocks are 1.25, but mine were. 2.25 left me with about 1 inch of rake.

 

These are some pics I could dig up real quick. Hope this helps!

Thanks man! I'm running 33x12.50r20. I have a slight rub on the UCA at around 85%+ lock due to the width of the tires.

 

Planned on an 11.5 or so inch wide tire, but got an absolute steal on these

My buddy ordered it for me when he was ordering his kit. I think he called in cause it wasn't on their website.

Good Looking truck for sure man! How'd you black out your ambers in the front?

 

Also, do you happen to have fender height measurements? Yours looks about the same height as mine, but i've got 2.5 front and 1 rear

 

EDIT - sorry, quoted the wrong post and dont know how to delete hahah

Front is at 39 and rear at 39.5. Ride is a better than the stock Rancho

So through all the pages of this thread I know some guys are running the 2.5" front with a 3" block. What is your rake like? Pictures would be great!

Here's another one with 2.5" front and 3" rear with 305/55R20's. I got my 3" from RC and the ubolts had to be purchased separately.

I have a difference of almost 1" at the rear fenders.

Driver side fenders are 37 1/4" front and 38 3/4" in the rear; 1.5" difference.

 

Passenger side fenders are 37 3/8" front and 37 7/8" in the rear; 0.5"

 

This is after I just put Bilstein 5100s at the highest setting on the front and no change to the back.

 

I know the rake in these trucks aren't always consistent but has anyone seen the difference of almost 1" in the rear? Do you think my rear passenger shock is shot causing the 1" sag? Seems weird to me at only 20,000 miles but they are the stock shocks on an LT.

      I still do oil changes on our 2 vehicles and my motorcycle. I have a robot mower for the yard but can't use it in my backyard because my wonderful dog keeps digging the guide wire up so I have to push mow it. Not much of a walker especially during the summer, just to hot. I will ride my e-bike almost daily which helps to keep my knees and hips loose and helps with my balance. That's my story an I'll stick with it. We have been in the mid to high 90's with a feel like temp of 105 to 109 for the last month with no rain. We finally got some rain which cooled it off but were still stuck with the humdity. I do pace myself and that's why it takes me 2 days to do something that used to take a couple of hours.   Peace

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By DustMcGrath · Posted

      @newdude great info, thank you!   So opening the thermal bypass valve early (or all the time) would cause temperature to rise more slowly, but above 194F there would be no difference from normal operation?   It seems like the only practical ways to bring down the peak temperature would be to improve the oil-air heat exchanger in some way or increase fluid capacity?

      side view camera

      By rjgvt · Posted

      I have a trailer lights checker I plugged into the 7 way connector in the bed of my truck that has the 5th wheel/gooseneck hitch. It gave the camera side view with the turn signal on just like having a trailer connected but it disabled the rear bumper sensors. I would rather have the rear sensors working.

      Blazer is all put back together. Another hard-won battle. The 4.3 is not easy to work on in such an archaic and narrow chassis originally designed for an inline 4.   My baffle issue is solved. I returned to the OG junkyard but was ready for a fight. The Blazer I had picked from was stacked on another vehicle so I had no idea how the heck I was going to get myself to working height to pull the front end apart. I had seen an S10 pickup on the ground so I was hoping the part would be the same, AND, I couldn't remember if the S10 still had a front end or not. But I didn't need to worry because it turned out to be my lucky day. The yard had just taken in a '98 Blazer, sitting right up front, on the ground, with room to work around it, and the front end hadn't been hit. The baffle and all the clips were factory perfect. I also scored another good handful of odds/ends and the whole shebang only cost me $20.   Got everything back together and it fired right off, sounds good, runs good. I've got a little coolant drip from a lower water pump bolt (D'OH!!). I did the right thing and snugged it down a little bit, and of course that didn't fix it. Yet again, I will have to soak everything in coolant to drain it down to the water pump, remove the bolt, and attempt to re-seal it. Nothing is easy on this truck. Nothing. But now all the radiator plastics are correct, snug, and fully functional. No more rubbing on the cooling fan. It runs, drives (took it for a 30 mile drive last night), no Check Engine lights, EGR is working, no vacuum leaks. We're getting closer...   The replacement wiper motor arrived yesterday. The tailgate was already disassembled and waiting, so I threw that in. It works! Sort of. Two new issues on the list. While the motor is strong enough and the gears aren't stripped, the wiper is hanging up on the bottom of the rear glass. This is the old style where the lower half folds down like a truck tailgate, and the glass swings up, and they meet in the middle when closed. The glass isn't sitting flush with the tailgate, now that I look at it. No rubber bumpers that I can see for adjusting, so I'll have to look at the hinge adjustment to see if I can correct it. Also, the washer/squirter just dumps fluid underneath the truck. The lines actually run inside on the floor so I'm guessing the tailgate is soaked at the rear trim and the line is disconnected. There's also a drain there....probably for this reason.   The leaky water pump bolt was really disappointing. JUST STOP LEAKING...OMG!!   Replacing the window motor and a rear door speaker are still to do, and then everything will work. I want this to feel like a "good" vehicle worthy of dropping $600 for new tires before I do. That means no leaking first. I hurt, and I'm kind of cranky, so I'll probably take a day of rest and do the water pump again tomorrow.
