Can you do measurements of the amount of lift it adds, the rancho page says that it will make your truck able to run 35s but doesn't say what it needs to be paired with if anything.

 

I found only one video of a guy running 35s with them.

35 won't work I ran my 305/55/r20 with the stock wheels and they run a little and now with my 20x10 they still rub a little that why I think 35 won't clear I bought the Rancho Struts thinking I would be able to clear the tires

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

RANCHO RS999901

Has anyone used this to replace the entire strut assembly to level my truck? I can do this easily. Otherwise I was going to go with the Bilstein shock replacement and have to get a spring compressor and all. Thanks.

thats the exact set up I did on my truck love it and did it in 30 mins my dad did the same thing and he loves it

He hammered and ground the hell out of his fenders. It's in his comments on the YouTube video.

 

"Take a grinder and big hammer to the back fender about 1" or less, and with the front you need a heat gun to move the molding or just cut the plastic"

I'm not sure what you're asking? But changing control arms won't really allow you to stuff a larger tire.

 

Some MIGHT allow you to fit a slightly wider one if you're having issues with a large positive offset and rubbing tires on the alum/stamped steel control arms. But only if the new control arm shape doesn't stick out quite as far where that rubbing occurs.

 

You might need the new UCAs to take advantage of any extended travel you might have with the new height, if any.

Without reading 373373 pages, if I'm looking for 2", is it better to space above, space below, or split the difference to minimize harsh suspension travel.

Dont think it matters much, think most 2 inch are lower and easier to install. 2.5 and up seem to be both.

Question for you guys. I cut off the service perches when I put my King coilovers on. Im probably going back to the stock set up but I wont have the perches anymore. Will my truck be ok without them in the stock configuration?

I have a 2.5'' leveling kit installed on my 2015. It's a bottom U spacer only. Truck kreaks and moans at low speed under 25mph. Sounds like shit and rides pretty rough on the terrible SC roads where I live. I think its due to the limited down travel it has caused? Anyways I had a shop look at it and they said they couldn't figure it out as to why it made the noise. Im getting pretty fed up with it. I am looking at changing it up somehow but do not know what to get. I am thinking maybe the fox 2.0 coilers will solve the problem but they are pricey and would hate to install them and the noise continues. also looking at RC 3.5'' with uca's but have heard mixed reviews. Any suggestions appreciated.

 

thanks,

Mine and my dads. Both have 2.25" readylift level. He's running 285/75 Toyo at2s and I'm running 285/75 Toyo MTs. 127263daaac1496ab2fc7b8169490935.jpg

No spacers, very minor rub on sway bars at a hard full lock with the MTs, no rub with the at2s. The tire shop zip tied the fender carpets. Both trucks have been "off road" crossing creeks, smaller water bars, and small ditches. I'm sure if I did major off roading like some guys on here I might have more problems, but I take it easy on my truck. I have atvs to get to the "backwoods."

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By SoCal Angler · Posted

      2023 GMC 3500 HD, SLE, 6.6L Gas, 4x4, 6 Spd Options:  SLE Convenience Package; Driver Alert Package 1; Spray on Bedliner; X31 Off Road Package; TRAILERING MIRRORS, HEATED POWER -ADJUSTABLE, AUTO DIMMING, WITH TURN INDICATORS WHEELHOUSE LINERS, REAR INC. REAR AXLE - 3.73 RATIO INC. GVWR, 11,350 LBS. (5148 KG) INC. FRONT AND REAR PARK ASSIST, INC. ULTRASONIC     I have been launching my new boat and noticed some things related to the parking brake.. I usually set the parking brake (habit) when on flat ground for typical driving.    When backed down on the launch ramp to launch the boat and I place gear selector into Park, the parking brake activates automatically. My second nature is to set parking brake manually and noticed I was turing the parking brake off.  The parking brake appears to be setting itself automatically.   I looked all over my owner's manual and only found references to being on an incline and manually setting parking brake, or at times parking brake will be auto engaged, but nothing specific to my situation.    When is the parking brake automatically engaged?  Under what specific circumstances?  Can the auto set parameters be changed?     I like the auto set feature.  It would be nice if always engaged when shifted into Park and released when shifted out of Park (like my wifes 2025 RAV4).   Thanks!
