I thought about it and decided to spend the money on beer instead. Stock is alright with me.

Top is leveled with RC 2.5"with toyo MTs, bottom is stock.   If you take care of your vehicle, you will be fine. Who cares if you need to replace ball joints in 100k miles, that's part if maintenan

As far as I'm concerned, the top pic is what an AT should look like from the factory.

When installing the rancho quick lifts will I need a spring compressor?

Nope. They replace the entire assembly. Easy peasy.

How do you like those Firestone MTs? I am getting my truck lifted in August and found a good deal on those same size as yours.

 

 

I have a 3.5" level and I'm running a 35x12.5x20 destination m/t on f9355ec2b8d8ba3051e2305cdd11478d.jpg4f38cd4d21a363e28fa56abe9064d520.jpga stock yukon rim

They're good. Pretty smooth once you get rolling. They do hum...actually wish they were a little louder. I like the hum

Thank you. I am really looking forward to getting them installed on my truck. I know they have a super aggressive look to them and can only hope they perform as good as they look.

hey guys, thinking about installing a levelling kit on my 2014 all terrain, right now i have stock 20' wheels and tires. i can't decide between a bds 2'' or a RC 2.5'' I've heard many mixed reviews and was hoping you guys would fill me on on some of the pros and cons and maybe post your photos.

 

thanks

 

When I purchased my truck I was strongly considering a leveling kit but the desire to do so is quickly fading. The stock look is really growing on me and I'm leaning more towards leaving it like it is.

I don't do any off road in really. So I have to idea how they perform as far as mud. My friend has them and he said they suck in the snow. In the winter I run bridgestone dueler at revos which are incredible. ....if only they made them bigger

I have the Rough Country 2.5" level/lift kit on my 14 Crew cab. I am also running 33" tires and drove to Hammond IN (over 400 miles) this week and back and averaged over 19 miles per gallon...

For my size of tires I would have most likely been happy with the 2" level kit...but I am not paying to go backwards so.....

Bonus: If you didn't correct your speedometer, you're actually getting like 19.65 mpg if you see an indicated 19.0 mpg with 33" tires vs the stock 31.9" tires.

My smile is getting bigger now... I haven't change anything in the computer so 19.65 or maybe closer to 20 MPG since my mileage from that tank was actually 19.2... :D

If you had 31" tires before, your speedometer will be off 6.4% and so will your MPG so.... 20.4mpg on a 19.2 display.

 

Impressive at 19.2 on a 33... 20+ is damn near amazing. I wish I could drive like an adult.

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      You must have that upgraded gvw package which is only available or at least was in 2025 with the diesel engine for the 3/4 ton and that gave the truck physically the larger 12.0 ring gear rear diff and the 3500 rear spring pack. There is a difference in what the diff housing looks like externally as one tell tale and also your truck should have the upper overload spring pack and the frame pads that the pack goes up against.    The pressure the tpms system kicks the alarm in on a stock setting truck, that is a good question and was just from what I recall but I doubt I made any notes on it as I knew for the rear that it was not at all what I was after regardless either. Being that you have a diesel and if running on stock tires the minimum pressure on an empty truck seems to be around 50 psi from hearing of those that have weighted the front axle but the rear axle is very similar in weight to a gas truck and again a near empty truck on the rear could go down to 35 pounds at minimum. However the weigh scale is the proper way to know for sure as a guide.    As to changing the readings on the dash from metric to the US measuring system, oh yes that is done easily but what I was attempting to explain was that I can't pick and choose items I want to have in US and those I still want in the metric system at the same time as its either all or none. For example lets say you drove into Canada and switched your dash over to metric so your speedometer read in km an hour, well then your reading kilopascals on your tpms readout and your wife looks over and says what the hell is that saying in the tpms screen and you say "darned if I know, I think its Chinese" !

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      This is partly why I decided to have switched over to Amsoil SS as a way of hopefully preventing the buildup of the sludge/carbon on the pistons and clogging of the oil control rings and the carbon that would cause the compression rings to stick in their grooves as well as stay cleaner up top of the heads in the valve train in the first place, an oil that has tested better by third party testing over typical shelf oil and also doing my best to run relatively short OCI. However in saying that I don't think there is any way to easily prove the oil I was using prior allowed for a buildup at the OCI I was doing, nor in the other direction to make claims the Amsoil is keeping everything clean either. There really isn't a window into the engine is there to know anything for certain even if oil samples were taken for example that showed still healthy oil being dropped out of the oil pan other than engine tear downs that extensive and expensive testing of oils does to actually visually see what is really going on inside the engine. I wish there was some easy method of seeing what is going on but I don't happen to be aware of that if there is.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      My truck is a ¾ ton but my placard also says 80 for the rear tires, I think I might have the upgraded suspension to the 3500 series maybe.   I put my air down to 60 and the light was still on, and there was no way I was putting over 60 psi in the rear empty and not towing because I knew the actual number Toyo gave me and I didn't wanna ruin the center of my tires!   And you actually can change it in the settings from metric or is and it will show kph or mph then when you go into your tire settings it will be either psi or kpa, but it would be nice to just change it directly on the tire psi page

      Common Sense Assembly   Your driveline is forgiving of the occasional mistake. It will even often forgive the random serious blunder. But it will not forgive a continuous bad habit.      What? Not everything needs to be a five thousand word essay.

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.
