2016/17 Leveling questions on Motofab kits.


Recommended Posts

Does the ride quality seem about the same or stiffer with the 1-1/2" kit?

My understanding is that if everything else remains the same, you will not notice any difference in ride. Often people add a level in conjunction with adding new tires and/or wheels. It is then difficult to determine what changes are attributable to the spacers. I am also interested in hearing what others have in response to your question!

I have not adjusted the headlights, but I may need to as I've noticed an increase of people putting their hands in front of their rearview mirrors to block my headlights when I'm behind them in traffic.

Tire size and type was listed above, but they are BFG KO2 275/60R20. 33" overall diameter and only 1 size up from the stockers.

 

 

Thank you for responding.

 

I must have missed the tire size in the previous post.

 

Have you noticed a hit in the average MPG?

MPG is hard to say, but I estimate about 1-2 MPG drop. The reason it is hard to say is because with the larger tire size and not re-calibrating the speedo, I'm going 62MPH when my speedo only says 60MPH so that throws it off a bit.

 

The ride quality is the same. A little more road noise particularly around 25-40MPH, but once I get going faster than that, the road noise is about the same.

 

I ran with the new tires for 2 days after putting the level on and I had no rubbing without the level. Also, I did not notice any type of ride quality change with and without the level.

Looks good gupster. Did you leave the stock shocks on in the back after adding the 3.0 blks. ?

3" front. 2" back. 285/60r20s with Goodyear Wrangler all terrain adventures w/kevlar. They are mounted on 20x9s with a -12 offset. I have the aluminum UCAs. Didn't need to replace them. From the research I've done the stamped steel UCAs might need to be replaced because the ball joints are different somehow and might break or deform.
