Anyone else use this kit? Had it installed with nothing in the back and it seems the back rides a 1/2" low. What size are factory blocks in the back? Thanks in advance

I have the Rough Country 2" front lift. I seems to sit low in the back now also. I thought it would just lift the front enough, since they offer a 2 1/2" front/1" rear kit. I just wanted to get the attached snow plow look gone. I think the stock rear blocks are 1". I am taking it to a place that has various size blocks and see what I need.

Yeah it does suck, but in my opinion still better than stock look. Hey let us know what size blocks you end up going with, please. I seriously think the 2wd is the same height as the 4wd is in the front, GM has always done this. Atleast we don't have to mess with the torsion bars to get it level anymore.

Well, what I did was call Rough Country today and was able to order just the rear blocks and u bolts for $57 shipped. I haven't measured the stock rear blocks, but according to RC they are about 1 1/4" tall, and the the RC rear blocks are 2". Hopefully that will look good. I'll try and get some before and after pics.

I'm using a Zone 2" inch and I think I'm pretty damn level. 6e4dbf031ccddada6a46d24acf1ea0dc.jpg

Actually, that would be a lot easier. With those you only had to turn a bolt a few turns. Now you have to install something. The torsion bars are infinitely adjustable and a lot easier to use.

I was actually referring to swapping out keys. Not just turning the bars. And this time it was considerably easier as I just paid someone to do it.

I know mine is an older generation, but the suspension is the same. I've got the Zone 2" front & rear kit. Had one on my 2009 too. It's the 2" spacer for the front, and a 2" block for the rear. On my 2009, I stacked the 2" Zone block on top of the factory 1.25" block. On my current truck, I just replaced the factory block with the Zone 2" block. I've got about 1" of rake now.

I have a Zone 2" Level Kit on mine and the front is 1/4" lower than the back with the Bilstein 5100 Adjustable Shock on the stock setting.

No pics tonight,k but I installed the rear rough country rear blocks from the 2.5" level kit. To me it looks great. It has just enough rake with the 2" lift up front. I'll try and get some pics tomorrow. With the RC block next to the stock block there is just less than an inch of difference, but when on the truck it appears every bit of an inch taller in the back. It sits perfect for just about $120 plus an alignment.

While you 2500 High country is sharp it has nothing to do with a leveling kit for a half ton.

If the Zone spacers are too much, can they be milled down a bit?

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Z45 · Posted

      The oil filter has NOTHING To do with oil leak. GM sources parts from 1,000's of vendors and as with anything mass produced, flaws are unavoidable.    Putting a larger oil filter will do nothing but satisfy emotions. The OEM filter is designed for the engine and perfectly capable of handling the demands on the engine. Oversize oil filter could result in reduced flow and overall lower oil pressure.

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.

      Diesel hit $6.00 here today at the truck stop.   Payed $2.79 for E85 today too.
