Post Pics of Your 2014+

[WendysOrBust]

Put my RC 2 inch leveling kit on mine this weekend. Brought it up 2 1/4 inches in the front. For those of you that have installed it yourself did anyone have as much trouble as me getting the ball joints to separate. Had to go buy a ball joint separator. I have a z71 4x4 with rancho shocks and mine didn't go near as easy as all the videos I saw. It looked like the lower a arm is a little different on the 2014s which made it seem like it was much harder to pry the shock over the spacer. I was doing it myself so that may be why. It definitely wasn't an hour and half job like some have done on here. I spent that almost on the first ball joint and then the other side started so I went and got a separator. Broke the rubber thing to do it so probably won't hold grease to well so probably be replacing a ball joint sooner than normal. Not sure if pics posted

Ball joints usually need a separator to get them to pull away. You should not of bought one. Any local autoparts store would of done a free rental on them.

Yea it was just 10 bucks. I moved away from home a couple of years ago so don't have my Dad's stuff to use so I try to just pickup a few things here and there. I figured those ball joints would be tough to separate but then I watched about 15 Youtube videos and they knocked it loose with ease with a couple of knocks. It gave me hope but then I messed around with them and it cost me a couple of hours but finally finished it all in about 4 hours.

Yea, been there man. I've attempted to pull ball joints with hand tools and its a PITA. A ball joint separator makes life so easy.

I know that feeling, my dads shop is a collection of tool from a couple generations. Now when I buy tools for my home they keep finding their way back to his shop stiil, so I have been buying things in pairs so I at least get to keep one!

That looks good Gordon, I love RCSB's and wish I didn't need an extended cab so much…

Changed from old EWS deep well toolbox to Black EWS low profile box. Can fit more in bed and see better out back. Also ordered color keyed caps, handles, and body molding. Black machined wheels and black NFAB steps.

Also did my front badge black and did the Tech plate black.

Looks good I've been wondering what a black grille guard would look like on my brownstone truck… Although I'm going with chrome rims and leaving the chrome on the truck…

What a fantastic collection of trucks!

Here's my '14 with a 4" Readylift, 20x10 Mazzi Hulks, and 33" BFG TKO2'S.

Thanks Will!

 

It has a 2.5" "level" kit and the trim "level" is SLE with all/most of the option packages minus tow, leather, heated/cooled seats. With my previous truck heated seat were a must with leather IMO, but I don't miss it at all with the cloth seats.

Did you keep the stock block in the rear or use the block that came with the kit?

Great looking truck! [emoji106]

Thanks man! I went with the ReadyLift 66-3085 kit and used the upper and lower strut extensions and spacers. I kept the stock blocks in the rear so it wouldn't have any rake.
