295/70R18 should fit with no rubbing or trimming necessary. Its roughly a 34.3" x 12" depending on the brand of the tire.

Are you running the factory trailboss black wheels?

Can't tell if your trying to be a comedian here or if your serious?  It wasn't really very funny and it didn't really make any sense!  If you don't care about this topic, don't follow along.

To me 2" is 2" no matter how you get it. Wether you put it on the top, bottom or middle it still increases the cv and ball joint angles. Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using Tapatalk

Correct. It says it's not compatible but it works great. Supposed to be a level coming out specifically for the Trailboss soon from a couple different manufacturers. I don't know exactly what those will consist of or how much they will cost. I installed the  motofab kit 6 months ago and have had absolutely no problems as have many people on the forum. Time will tell if we end up with premature wear on the front end parts but as of now it is the only fix for the factory rake. 

Ben, Are you saying you have or havent seen several people claiming issues with installing this kit? I purchased it and I am concerned about the ball joints if I install

I haven't heard of any problems at all. I have nothing but positive reviews of it. But....they say it shouldn't be used on the Trailboss/AT4. I really don't know the reason but it works great!

I have an AT4 but Trailboss owners have posted that size on stock wheels on other threads

Now Rough Country has released their official AT4 kit (not for TB) we should start seeing some come out soon. Still holding out here.

Am i missing something? Why do they say specifically not the TB I thought the suspension systems were the exact same?

I sent Rough Country a message asking the same thing and they told me that the setup is different.... which I thought they were the same too.

So they can market them separately and increase the price of the AT4 kit over the Trail Boss version since the GMC is " Professional Grade " :D

After looking at the instructions, I'm not sure if I'm completely missing something but does this type of a leveling kit cause for less aggressive angles/wear over the motofab that everyone else has already already been running with?

Iam not an expert but simply wondering why the difference in lower strut spacers. I would assume the traditional “C” shaped spacer is the same or better. Also on the instruction sheet I noticed the new camber spacer...assuming that is to achieve stock alignment numbers. I am curious if the motofab 1.5” leveling kit also achieves factory alignment or nearly close.

      Multigate Connector Difficult to Connect Fully

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      This is just a thought as I can't claim this is the correct thing to do but will suggest it and you can decide if its something you would try. First round up some electrical contact cleaner spray as they at least claim its not supposed to damage the components ( brake cleaner depending on the type is a real destroyer of plastic etc ) and to use that to assist to clean out any grime from the pins as well as the mechanism by spraying and working the lever etc. Then my next thought is to use silicone spray lube and not on the pins but on the seal and the pivot assembly. It may not be possible to spray it on certain area's and have to use a q tip as Davestar mentioned to keep it from getting on the pins. Dielectric grease can be fine on some things but its easy to get too much on if not careful and then gunk things up and a possible risk of getting it on the pins or sockets. The silicone spray is able to get into a mechanical component to help lube and on surfaces its just a fine film to reduce friction such as that seal. Also it can be doused off with a good flush of the electrical contact cleaner the next time for a repeat of a "clean and then lightly lube" step process to wash off any dirt that had stuck to the exterior etc of the plug.   Free advice, yes. Good advice ... now there's the question mark !

      I just bought one of these.   https://www.topdon.us/collections/diagnostic-tools/products/artidiag-pro   Yeah, it`s got a cable. $250/year after 2 years. Do I want more? Yep. But, I`m not working any more and can`t afford a whirlpool in my tool box.

      Why don't I have a good scanner? I've always wanted one when I've needed one.   My latest reading says I don't need to do a relearn on the ckp sensor on a 1995 with OBD 1.5. The relearn is prescribed for the later-model 1995's which shipped with actual OBD II when GM completed the transition in prep for the 1996 MY. I need to confirm that. Did you know forums are disappearing? Knuckleheads on Facebook... it's not the same. It's just not.   So, scanners. Again, shooting myself in the foot for having eBayed my Snap On MT2500 "brick" with all the adapters. Not that I couldn't buy another but those are getting quite old, and mine wasn't new enough to work on 2000's vehicles.   Damn it (as I'm scanning my email between paragraphs here). Did you know there's a 2000 Jimmy 2-door on BaT that's ending this morning? It's local. I want it. 14k miles. Absolutely beautiful.   Back to scanners. MT2500's are old. Solus, now that could be a contender. There's a ~2008 Verus with a system error that's basically new in box for cheap. Hmm...I'm not sure about a scanner that runs an archaic version of windows (95 or CE, I can't tell).   I want the ability to reset and rotate TPMS, test individual modules, bleed ABS, electronic parking brake controls for servicing brakes, relearn procedures and other bidirectional controls.   Snap On does an MT2600. It's a new model as of last year, marketed as their "entry" scanner. Entry? Only where $1900 gets you through the doorway plus, I'm guessing, $1000/year if you wish to keep it current. So goes scan tools actually designed for production environments. Want decent products with excellent support, you pay for it.   Everyone is raving about Autels and TopDons and Foxconns and all these newer brands that are selling the $500 "prosumer" scanners for backyard hacks like me. They're tempting...honestly. Updates are cheaper, base prices are remarkably cheaper... And you get to deal with bugs and translation whoopsies and, well, just don't use it on anything expensive, OK? Having a dealer replace an ECU because it needs to be re-imaged after an adventure in scanning is no joke. But I think most people are getting by OK with these units.   eBay on a scratch-and-sniff pro-model oldie, a shiny new TopDon, or???   God dang it, I can't stop looking at this Jimmy. I'm ready! I'll Bring The TRailer! It's beautiful.

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      I removed the OE running boards.  It looked so much better.  I wish I took them off a long time ago.     I had to put something back on for my wife.  I wanted Westin Sure Grip Running Boards but they are very pricey, like $600 plus.  I was going to go with the Ionic 41's like I had on the 2019 Silverado but went with Westin Outlaw Drop Steps instead, about $200 cheaper.  They are sturdy and functional but not super crazy about the look, but it works.
