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

Was going to install mine last night but it's arriving late. Tires just showed up though. Gonna go get them mounted. Hopefully it'll be in the mailbox this afternoon and I'll get it on tonight. So I can get my alignment in the am.

Hey, can you post a pic of your light bar? What brand did you get, did you install or dealer?  Just curious what model P/N#, and how it is wired....

I just installed a leveling kit from zone off road on a 2019 trail boss and the top spacer should have a smaller hole in it so that the upper strut mount rubber cusion has something to rest on instead of a 5/8 in gap between the top mount and frame this looks like a upper strut mount failer problem down the road

I'm looking into this kit, in the instructions it looks like it all goes together with out gaps.  I'm having some difficulties understanding/picturing what you are describing.

Did you really put 2" spacers on this poor truck!?!?  How long are the wheel studs!?!?  Hard to comprehend...

When you go that big they don't use extended studs. the spacers have its own built in studs and then the spacer bolts to the hub.

Anyone have a good amount of miles on there setups? I worry about shaking issues. 

I haven't had any shaking issues or any other issues. I've had the setup for almost 2,000 miles and I drive a lot of highway around 70mph. City and highway driving has been fine. Feels stock.

Have you had any issues with this leveling kit? How many miles do you have on the kit now? Any issues with the Upper Control Arms?

I am having this kit installed tomorrow with TOYO MT 295/70R18’s on factory wheels.

Greetings all, 

 

 

I've been reading all the lift / lvl threads I can these days.  Here is what I can contribute...

 

I bought my truck brand new off a dealer with 285 65 20s installed.  I asked the service rep at the dealer what did they do to the truck since that wasn't stock.  Said they added a spacer up front.   I asked about an problem with wear and tear or warranty issues he said nope.   Makes me wonder if a dealer is willing to install suspension mods on every single one of their AT4s just how much premature wear and tear can be expected? The truck is under warranty and I can't imagine a dealer would compromise these trucks to the point they are going to have a slue of folks showing back up to their service department needing all new front end suspensions.

 

I'm currently deoyed, so I can't take and measuments for a bit.  But I am more and willing to do so when I get back home.  I do remember measuring the height distant from the ground to the body and the rear was under and inch taller.

 

 

I'm no mechanic.  If there are issues with these mods, where should I inspect or be on the look out for?

I noticed in another thread the listed parts for the Trailboss’s lift don’t include arms or any steering parts. 

 

Basically it is a leveling lift. Probably means that putting a 2” level on top of it would have your arms WAY out of whack. 

You are 100% correct. They come with longer struts and do not correct the geometry

      Of course refrain from political debate but I myself have very dismal hope for what is all going on up here every where we turn so I nodded my head when I saw this joke.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      While waiting for parts I have been working on installing the AC compressor, new accumulator, and orifice tube. Also changed out the high side ball valve (original). The orifice tube that was in there wasn't too bad. Slightly dirty, a little bit of junk, but not blocked. Glad I changed it out.   The accumulator, which should have been a 5 minute job, may have just burned $50. Put some PAG in it, wrote the date and mileage on the side, fresh o-rings and gooey'd up the threads and rings with Nylog. Got everything connected and snugged and was going to vacuum down the system, and....   My manifold gauge won't fit on the port. It's not an R12 service port. It LOOKS like an R134 service port but the diameter is a hair too large. There's a sticker on the accumulator that says it's designed to be used with R12 and R134a systems only. So it's not R1234yf. Even if I reduced the diameter slightly with a file, the shoulder on the port is too large so the quick-connect valve won't lock on. I'm stumped. It's going back, and 50/50 on if they'll give me a refund.   Also, I did a fuel pressure test.... Key on, the gauge spikes to about 60psi and quickly bleeds off, like 2psi per second. The fuel isn't going into the plenum, no smell, starts fine, so I'm guessing there's a bad check valve in the pump and the fuel is just draining back into the tank. oh, hell. But, it shouldn't be a problem, pump primes just fine and the truck starts right up. It just means I can't really ever use fuel pressure to verify a leak at the injector or intake.

      SERCICE ESC message?

      By No F-bdy Bs · Posted

      Got this yesterday out of nowhere. Truck is a 25',6.6 gasser with 8k miles.  Only semi anomaly is that the truck had been sitting, uncranked for 6 days. Elec Stability Control showed immediately upon cranking, not while driving. No drivability issues, just the message. Battery didn't seem to be weak when cranking over.  I drove it, killed it, let it sit a few hrs with no avail.  Truck is 100% stock. No damage.
