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.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.

      Looking for this part for my truck. They don't sell just that one piece and to get it you have to pay over $100 even used for the whole air tube. The piece the hose clamp snaps into that is held on by the screw and nut. If anyone has access to one please let me know.
