Man, you got me drooling! My LTZ needs the same love! Notice any ride difference? You gonna upgrade the tires anytime soon? I’ve been looking at the trailboss lift, but just your front level looks dang good. What do you use to make your wheels and truck shine so nicely? Thanks!

Thank you!  Honestly, I have run the RC kit on 5 different trucks now and the ride does not bother me at all.  If you are concerned with ride they make a little nicer kit that replaces the whole strut and is supposed to maintain ride.  I  personally think it rides fine.  Will upgrade tires when stocks wear out.  Used to rip them off immediately, but have mouths to feed these days!  Nothing special on wheels and tires.  soap and water on wheels and meguiars on the tires.

Are most of you guys installing the block leveling kits or using the Rough Country front strut replacements?

I did the Ready Lift SST kit which includes front upper control arms to correct geometry (for AT4 and Trail Boss), spacers and spring perch adjustment along with 1/2" taller blocks in rear (3.5" vs stock 3").  Stock shocks are retained or you can upgrate to King/Fox/ICON etc.    

 

Not sure what folks are doing for standard trucks, sorry if that is what you are asking.  

 

Most level kits for AT4 and Trailboss to not included upper control arms, see this video to understand why they are needed:

We finally got some sun to wash her up and take a picture. 2" leveling kit with KO2's. I've run this setup on all my trucks. Love it.

Thanks for that, mine is just an SLT so I'm looking at the non-AT4/TB model information.

Did the UCAs bring in the inner tire wall closer to the ball joint?  I don't know about yours, but mine was pretty close after the 1.5" level already

2019 LTZ Z71 with GM 2" factory TrailBoss lift and 1.5" Rough Country leveling kit.  Love the stance now.  Next up....Ridge Grapplers and 1.5" wheel spacers.  Maintains just the perfect amount of rake in my opinion.

so are cv with that kit just longer?....or do they lay flatter?.....seems like a good idea though, what about the differential at 3.5 in?.....you gonna just leave it or drop it a bit at some point

 

really though that is perfect height for me, and I don't mind a bit of rake...I just don't want to cut my truck up with lift from zone, bds, etc

Yes, CVs are longer.  I just took a 300 mile round trip to Dallas over the weekend literally as soon as I picked it up from having the level installed.  It drives fantastic.  No shimmys or shakes and front-end alignment is perfect.  No complaints at all.  Should be good and settled by now too after 300 miles....front is a little less than 1/2" lower than rear.  I'm happy.

Yeah You truck looks great Lapoolboy. Im sure it's tall. I test drove a LT trail boss before I bought my 2020 RST. I remember the bed was up to my neck. I"m happy with the 1.5 level in front and 1.25 in the rear. 1.5 shouldn't tax the front end components to much either.  It's just right. Still might get those Rought Country Leveling struts some day. Until then I'm good.

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      That should answer the maximum depth difference between the stock and the PPE so its not hugely lower. As to the PML pan, they don't make any claims that it fits the L8T with the same transmission and in fact leave their information confusing, however on the surface it says "for Duramax" and so its hard to say. I know a while back and not sure which brand it was that specifically stated that the extra capacity pan that particular company made did NOT fit the gas version.

      Installed Bilstein 5100's on my 2024 2500HD - Worth it - VIDEO + GIVEAWAY Inside

      By fondupot · Posted

      There are several versions of the 5100's. Some for stock height, some for leveled, some for lifted.    Side note. I finally had a chance to tow with my 30' gooseneck with about 10,000 lbs of material on it this past week. Hands down the 5100's made the trailer towing much more stable and comfortable. I even had 10 cmu blocks in the bed. What a difference over the stock shocks.

      According to PML, the stock pan is 4.3" deep - (PML info): Dimensions: at deepest area, PML pan is 7 inches, stock pan is 4.3 inches    PPE is 5.4" so roughly 1.1" deeper than stock

      I had not realized that PPE has come out with a version of a cast aluminum oil pan specific to being able to fit onto the 10L1000 with the L8T engine sometime this spring. I was doubting that anyone would come out with something beyond what Dorman had in more of a direct factory pan swap. I see from one comment that is on the PPE site that they found the pan to be tighter to install then the factory unit and having to flex the exhaust down to fit it. I didn't lookup any specs if they have any as per how much lower it hangs but as it holds more oil and has fins outside the pan it would no doubt hang a certain amount lower.    I looked back at the site and they do have some depth measurements to get a rough comparison to the factory pan total height or hang down if you will at the front and rear of the pan so that will give a good idea how much further down this pan would end up being for ground clearance issues.    2024-2026 GM 6.6L Gas 10L1000 Heavy-Duty Cast Transmission Pan – Pacific Performance Engineering

      I'm in constant amazement over the number of people that do oil maintenance by how they feel, what they were told, what materials cost, what brand A claims vs brand B.     Come to think of it, this behavior isn't exclusive to oil. 🤔 They drive this way too. 😬   There is a 20 plus page thread on BITOG on Mobil 1 Advanced Clean vs Valvoline Restore and Protect it would be amusing if it were not so........humanly pitiful.   Last Sunday we were are sitting at services and listening to a speaker talk about Jesus parable of the wide and narrow gates and he said something that hadn't dawned on me but totally fit the way people in general are about just about everything. He said there are so few people on the narrow path leading to a good reward not because the the narrow gate was hidden or hard to find but because the wide gate leading to a bad end it so darn easy and uncomplicated to follow!!!
