Well I'm through all 66 pages of this thread.

 

RC 2.5 seems right for me with 295 55 20's.

 

Any chance that the 2.5 will end up nose high?

When I measured my wheel well from ground up...I got just shy of 38" in rear and in the front I was just shy of 36". So I went with the RC 2" level kit. I have it installed and love it, But visually I thought front looked higher. So I measured today, and again got just shy of 38" in rear, however now the front is a little more than 38". Appears that my 2" was a little more than 2". Although the total difference is 1/4", visually its driving me crazy. So...what can I put in the rear that's maybe 1/2" or less?

Mine measures just under 40 on the front n rear after level kit. I have the z71 package. Is is also with 295/55/20 Toyo MT tires..... 4215de46a9cfba9986c9d80318fce38b.jpg524b71ffb017d076de3bee22a21aeae2.jpg

I'm about to buy this CCM 3" level. Any Pro's or Con's with this kit?

CCM071500_01__73974.1388099106.1280.1280

That's same lift I installed. I like the look but my cv angle is really bad. I going remove the the 3" and install a 2.5". I my tying to post pics of the cv angle the tech at the shop advised me to go with 2.5" to ease up the angle. post-135776-0-07331900-1415835007_thumb.jpg

Just had my 2" RC level kit installed. It had been sitting under my rear seat for almost as long as I've had the truck. I had install and alignment done at the performance shop that built/maintained my last car. Install was pretty quick, but guys got stumped by the Hunter software telling them that the pinned insert was not supposed to be reused. The result is that I'm left with slightly out of spec caster on my left front wheel (Printout below). They are eager to get me perfectly dialed in but didn't want to take any chances, shop deals mostly in highe end euro, but i trust them.

 

Can anyone shed some light on this "pin system" shown in the Hunter software?

I need a little help guys I'm torn between the two.

 

1st option is 1.5" readylift, remove the rear block and run a 285/55/20 Nitto Terra Grappler G2 tires.

 

2nd option is 2.25" readylift and a 33x12.50x20 Toyo Open Country RT tires.

Option 2. These trucks look great leveled with 33s.

 

I would do a level and33s but it's just not tall enough for me personally with my truck

If you go cheap you're gonna have problems. Sure a spacer kit gets the job done but you will have upper ball joint issues. Its best to get a kit that has corrective UCAs.

    • I'm not sure if this should be a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - AC Delco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles, 119k total miles.  When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so I did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out, it could've been the wrong fluid. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material, scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance. I had a panic stop prior to this issue which may have contributed from what I read. And on the first attempt to bleed and hydraulic test the scanner listed things to look for and one was any gaps between the pad and rotors which I did notice on the RF corner and I removed the outer pad (where the gap was) cleaned it and the hardware and didn't see a gap after that but will re-check it. Any suggestions, questions and comments welcome. 
    • Next Friday will be my 6 week point from my right knee replacement.  The surgeon says it will be fine if I choose to drive after this checkup.  I know I could drive now but best to do as my surgeon (and my wife) tell me.  Richard compared being 62 to 72.  I remember when I was in my early 60's I was experiencing slow but regular decline in my mobility.  Thanks to good medical support,  i continued to fight the speed and spread of this decline. During my 60's I worked on non-surgical methods and just when I turned 70, my orthopedic surgeon recommended joint replacements.  In a little over a year, I had one shoulder and both knees replaced.  This hasn't been a terribly fun experience, but worth the discomfort as my future mobility health trajectory has reversed.  It is a treat to now be watching my mobility. balance and confidence steadily improve!
