Here's my 14 All Terrain 6.2 SLT

Truck looks great, and quite familiar haha... Rough Country 2.5" up front + blocks in the rear?

 

Any idea what your fender measurements are? I've got a similar set-up but left the factory blocks... trying to decide on leaving it as is or swapping in the RC blocks.

 

I currently have about 0.25" of rake in the rear:

My 2014 sierra with a 3.5 inch rough country suspension lift, 295/70r17 toyo rough country m/t tires and 17 inch fuel maverick wheels.attachicon.gifimage.jpg

How do you like the RC 3.5?

 

I'm debating on switching to it from my 2.5.

Here's how my 2014 All Terrain is as of now.

Definitely no complaints so far. I really like it. It gives a really good balance between stock height and crazy lifted

On my 2014 Crew Cab 4X4 I went with Cooper Discover ATP's which are a P size tire and a bit lighter weight that LT tires. I believe they are 52 lbs and rated 6 ply. I really like the ride so far, not as harsh as my Goodyear Eagles LS2's I had. Also taller and fill up the wheel wells better.

2014 Crew with full install of RC 2 1/2 level lift and Cooper Discoverers 275 60 R20's on stock OEM 20 x 8.5".

They state 33" in diameter but after mounting they dropped to 32.5" which is better than the Goodyear Eagles LS2's I had at 30 5/8".

Mild look but happy since I didn't need such aggressive tires such as the Nitto Terra Grapplers.

Finally quit raining so I took out the kayak and went fishing for a bit today.

Perfect imo, if I were to change anything at all, it would be the wheels. They look great as it is, just might slap some black ones on there. That's how black and white should definitely look!

you are correct, 2.5" RC kit with the block in the back. Not too sure why but all four corners have different measurements

LF 38.25" LR 39.5"

RF just under 39" RR 39 1/8"

 

I think I took some measurements the day I got the kit installed written down somewhere. Going to have a look. I have some weight in the bed for winter time that probably drops the rear a little as well. Also running 275/60/20 tires

Got the truck washed today, beautiful weather out in Dallas today so decided to snap some pictures. Showing off the new exhaust and new GM black sidesteps.

Yeah unless you're on perfectly level ground the little bit of flex will definitely throw your measurements off. Typically the passenger side will be a little higher, probably due to the fuel tank weighing down the driver side.

Sounds like you've also got about 0.25" of rake, the added weight must be bringing it down a bit.

 

I measured the stock blocks and they're exactly 1.25" with no taper;

The RC blocks are tapered, 1.75" at the front to 2" at the rear so I'm assuming if I install them I'll end up with an inch of rake.

    • What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.
    • People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.    
    • Glad you had success with it. I did as well, but about 5-6 months later it returned. Tried again, same result. This was after the dealer made several attempts and never even got it to slow down.
