Currently I have a 2" level on my truck and I kinda regret not doing the 2.5 level. Does anyone know if I can buy just the top spacer and rear blocks from rough country or would I need to buy the whole kit? If not anyone have part numbers? Thanks all

 

exactly what I did. Went with the RC 2" after I saw it, realized it was not enough, called RC and they sent me the top .5" spacer with the taller rear blocks. went ahead and added the RC 1.25 body lift as well now its perfect.

but the 2.5" looks way better than just a 2" IMO. mine still had .25" of rake with the stock rear blocks with the 2.5" kit also.

what if you scraped the top .5" spacer, left the bottom 2" spacer and added the 5100s on the lowest setting? how much lift if on the lowest setting?

Any chance you had part numbers or would they just know what to add for the lift? Any idea what you remember paying?

Already replaced my shocks and struts with bilstein 4600 series. Don't wanna mess with another set now

Just call RC, they will know exactly what you need. Also the parts are relatively cheap, its the labor and alignment that runs the total cost up.

Thanks. Honestly I did the 2in level myself. I can do the rest too. Luckily I paid and have a 5 year warranty on front end alignments now so it wouldn't cost me a dime to have it done

How are these shocks compared to stock? I have the ranchos (All Terrain) with a RC 2.5" and the ride is not as smooth as I'd like. Was thinking about switching to 5100's but I went thru a lot of crap to finally get the dealer to install my RC correctly. Basically looking to maintain my level but smooth that sucker out some.

Thanks

iv read some stories on here that that combination just doesn't work. but i have seen plenty of positive storied about the small top spacer as well as a 5100

      Around 2008 if memory serves they took sulfur out. That was when diesel went up.

      Question for you Grumpy, why is diesel so much more than gasoline? Seems to me that it may be slightly a little less refined than gas and it doesn't have 10% alcohol which presumably lowers the price of gas

      Thanks, so being a different beast altogether, anyone know what the "optimal" temp is for the 10L80/90 for proper shifting?

      How many years have I pointed out every point in that link to the folks here and been avalanched with criticisms and outright hostilities at times? I ran counter to even the great CUSTOMBOSS and Lake Speed Jr and the half dozen experts on YouTube and in the final.....GM, Physics (Stribeck) backs that Grumpy old Bear.    Honestly, I never said a thing engineering hadn't studied silly and laid in concrete during WWII. But I'm old, the information is old and yet, the Laws of Physics are eternal.    Okay there is one exception. I vehemently disagree with their use of the word 'tolerances' when what it meant is "clearance".   The clearance is the distance between two objects. The tolerance is the degree of acceptable variation permitted in that clearance. I.E., piston to bore clearance is 0.004" with a tolerance of +/- .0002" so the clearance is in specification if it lies between 0.0038" and 0.0042". Cutting that 'tolerance in half has ZERO impact on lubrication requirements. Makes for more difficulty in manufacturing.  But a tighter clearance 'MAY'. Depends on finish. Anyway....   It's one of those statements made by people to make themselves look smarter than they are to convince people who are as un-enlighten as they seem to manipulate their behaviors. But hey, the blind leading the blind puts them both in the pit.

      Gas Prices

      Out and about yesterday on a long Saturday drive I passed a lot of Shell stations. My preferred, so I pay attention. Lot's of small town Illinois so not six stations in three blocks like the city.    Everyone of them over a radius of say 100 miles had regular at $4.19 but one which was the one closest to home at $4.15. However Premium pricing varied greatly between 85 cents over regular to $1.50 over. I'm not counting the price of the station with the lowest regular so the reference is the same for the remainder and all within the same brand. However the spread discrepancy holds across all brands.     @txab, any thoughts on that?
