I'm having the ReadyLift 2.25" leveling kit installed and know that I need an alignment after that is completed.  If I decide at a later time to replace the stock block in the back and raise it a bit, is an alignment needed for just raising the back?   I'm thinking "no", but am not certain...

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.

Nice!  Did you leave the stock block in the back and if so, do you know what the size of that stock block is?

I left the stock block.

Thanks.  Do you or anyone else happen to know if a diff drop is needed for a 2.25" level?  From what I've read, it seems that is really only required when you get up to 3" level, but looking for some additional opinions.

I have the 2.25 Pro comp. It's the exact same as the Ready lift kit but cheaper. Same materials, same install. Top 2 inch spacer, bottom 1/4 spacer. No diff drop required.

It doesn’t hurt and can solve some high speed vibration and cv binding issues.

Thanks - what are folks using for diff drop kits that have yielded good results ?  I see a bunch out on Ebay, but that's about it...

Having my dealership install a 2.25" Procomp leveling kit in a couple of weeks. Looking forward to getting rid of the rake as I don't tow much at all.

I just purchased the Rancho Quicklift leveling struts for my 2018 Silverado. I opened up the boxes and noticed that on both struts there are wear marks that have completely worn through the the powder coating and bare metal is showing on both springs. One strut has three areas  where it rubbed through and the other has two on it.

 

Is this a normal issue or is this something that I should bring up to fourwheelparts.com where I bought the struts from? I don't see this affecting the performance of the struts, but having bare metal concerns me for the longevity of the part.

I would say send it back and have them send you a new pair

I believe rough country sells one, might have to contact them directly I don’t believe they offer it online. But you’ll be getting the same things as those eBay kits offer. Four donut shaped spacers and some hardware.

So what’s the deal .. are people doing a 2” or so in the front and adding 1”’to the rear (meaning a new 2” block). I say that because isn’t that already a 1” block in the rear?

      Clunk when putting truck into drive and reverse.

      By Matt Parker · Posted

      I have a 2000 Silverado 1500 LS, whenever I put it into reverse and also in drive it clunks, the truck also feels sluggish when driving. Any advice/ideas ?

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.
