Ahhh. They look to have a decent lip. I really like em. Think they are perfect. Do you have a picture looking down the side of the truck to show how much they stick outside the fenders?
Thanks man! Here are some side pics. Not much but i think its perfect for leveled.5c373dee8c087700ed4a2653f769dcd8.jpg3b1eb0588f6d64c7a1e7a87d09c2af65.jpg

So after reading through the nearly 6000 posts I have a question.

 

I have seen a few posts about the front drivetrain angles being maxed to the limits on a 3” leveling kit. I have seen kits to drop the differential 1-2” and was wondering if this would help ease the stress?

The reason I’m asking this is because for my bday I got the 3/2 MotoFab lift/leveling kit for my ‘15 Silverado LT 4x4 crew cab. Has anyone used one of these differential drop kits and have any issues?

 

Thanks in advance and keep up the pics, cause I love seeing the different outcomes of different kits.

A 1” differential drop on a 3” lift will give you cv angles similar to a 2” lift (I did that math all by myself can you believe it?) Those angles are okay and you shouldn’t increase your wear and tear too dramatically. However your outer tie rods are still at a severe angle at that level and there really is no correcting that without a new spindle.

LOL. I figured the math would workout that way. [emoji848]. I was just curious if these kits would help. Thanks for the inputs. I may look at newer spindles or just wait and go to a bigger lift. Kind hard to justify that with the price difference. Thanks again.

Pictures really don't do this body style justice. I was shocked at how tall my leveled 2014 is compared to my 2000 with a 4" lift and my 04 with a 2". This is my 14 with the RC 2" on 275/70r18s.26392801c5934a6f62a418e62d00faa0.jpg

This is one of those cases where you get what you pay for really his home.

About an inch off the rear side of that carpeted wheel well. It wasn’t touching but it was close at full turn. 30’seconds with a razor knife and you can’t tell I did anything

Alright guys I’ve read All 399 pages in the past week and I can’t find the answer I’m looking for. I’ve got a 2015 cc sb 2wd and I’m about to put a 2.5 rc with the rear block on it. I’m wanting to see if I can run a 285/75/ 17 with my stock wheels. I know that according to rough country’s website I can run a 285/70/17 I’m ok with a little rub on the felt liner inside the wheel well I guess what I’m wondering is if the one inch will rub that bad.

Man I’ve had the rc 2.5 level kit on my 2015 for over two years.  Mine came with the top and bottom spacers for the front, and block in the back.  

 

The dealership hip has always known it’s there and been cool with it.  Recently I’ve noticed some heavy squeaking upfront when in motion or turning the wheel.  Took it in for service and they told me the control arm is causing it and that the level kit might be causing it.  Said mine is unusual because it has the top and bottom spacers.

 

essentially he indicated to me to get the top spaced off and bring it back, like he would take care of it.  I’m guessing I got to do it, I like the stance but don’t feel like doing all that work, esp because I plan on getting rid of it when the 2019 comes out.

 

should I just attempt another dealership? Or take the top spacer off, get it fixed and throw it back on? If I remove the top spacer I’ll need to put the original rear blocks on to make it sit level

The chances of finding another Dealer that is willing to work with you are pretty slim. I'd remove the spaces, get it fixed and put it back in.

    • I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.    
    • Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.
    • If your connector also has a big lever to get the connector on and off, you don't want to force the lever either way, as it becomes a bigger problem if you bust the lever or the mechanism it works.
    • It's just useful to disconnect the battery to prevent odd shorting out when unplugging/plugging stuff together.  I also  touch the two cable ends together (after disonnecting) to drain the small amount of stored battery energy in various modules.   I believe the main system where you need to be more concerned with, so you need to do the above and then wait some time, iss when you are working on the air bag system, to prevent inadvertent firing of the air bags.   The in-cab switches are just that, plain switches, it's generally not a problem to swap them in/out.  For my '12, I'll get an error message on the dash if I power up the truck w them unplugged, but that's it (power up= turn the ignition on).   The ITBC located above the spare tire is a computer that manages the trailer brake system.  That is probably more important to have the battery disconnected.  It does have to be programmed to the truck, either before or after it's installed, for it to work.  For my '12, I had a very hard time reinstalling the main connector to it (IDK if yours is the same or not), it turned out the silicon seal was jamming up, preventing it from going on all the way.  I finally got it fully installed by lubing the seal with a bit of dielectric grease, then it slid on and latched in place easily.
    • JR ! I just got the truck back from the Dealership today . The technician did a cold remote start on the truck this morning and it made the noise . It was determined that it was a starter issue and replaced it under warranty . Of course   it did not make the sound after a new starter was put in because the truck was not cold . We will we see what happens tomorrow morning when I start the truck cold  . Keep tuned !   Oh I found a video on YouTube of a cold start and it did the same thing your truck and mine do , I will see if I can find it and post it up
