How is the RC level on the already lifted truck? How’s the upper ball joint without the new UCA’s? Can’t decide between that or the RL with UCAs

RC level kit is great. Maintains the ride quality and the actually levels the truck. Angle on the UCA's changes minimally and the RL kit isn't worth the extra $.

 

I asked my truck shop and all their employees a million times haha! They agreed the RC kit is the way to go for leveling an AT4.

First photo (side view truck has the 2 inch Readylift) since been removed cause the boot contacted the bottom part of the strut. Added Rough country 2 inch leveling struts and the Readylift was removed. Plenty of cv axle clearance now  . 20x9.5 on 285/60/r20. It’s my vets truck. He said no rubbing and rides a lot better than factory. D2A65615-3C89-4782-86F7-4A8D688F9E79.thumb.jpeg.bd8df8bc931a278ae34cbc782ea8dd1c.jpeg

Yes as stated in the caption it is the Rough Country leveling struts they offer. 2 inch lift struts. Approximately $325 for both I believe.

Can anyone speak on leveling kits and the ability to still use the OEM wheels/tires?  This is in regards to a trail boss with the upper control arm lifts maybe. But looking at the fabtech setup it states you cannot use OEM wheels. Is this actually the case for all or is their setup different ?

I saw that. On rough country's site, they have the 3.5'' kit that comes with new coil/struts. Is that the same strut/coil as with the 3.5'' kit?

I believe so.  Model 501066. I used the  3.5" lift N3 struts with my AT4 lift to get a 1.5" level.

I have the Trail Boss but either way the same, but thanks for the insight, just wanted to get a real world opinion on it instead of dumping the crazy bucks on the RL one, cause everyone always talks about are the UCAs and the ball joint angles but I actually wanted to see if they were that bad

hmm, I guess what im trying to figure out, is if the 3.5'' RC kit is actually going to give 3.5''. This would be on a non trailboss truck as well.

Yes, the 3.5" RC kit (with the spacer or the optiinal strut) will give you approximately 3.5" over the non trailboss/AT4 trucks.

Here's mine fella's. 20' AT4 w/duramax. 

 

2 in RC level kit. Falken AT- 295/60. Fuel Rebel 20" wheel. Minor rub on the felt liner at full lock. Don't notice it enough to even think about switching!! Haha. Stance and ride is great imo. RC level kit didnt mess with factory AT4 ride either. 

20200417_163433.jpgLooks great! I did the same leveling kit and wheels but in 18. I have the stock 275/65 wrangler MT duratrac and the rough country 2in leveling kit. I have no rubbing and can’t tell a diff in the ride. When I replace the tires I am going to go up to as big as I can with minimal cutting. So far I love the set up.

Looking to level my 2020 LTZ, and trying to find the best setup for the OEM 20” wheels. From what I gathered a 2” level kit on 295x65x20 should work. Has anyone noticed any significant issues with this setup? Any rub? My truck is pictured below. As far as leveling kits go, what is the best 2” kit? I want it to sit level to remove my rake.

I’d be careful going 2” unless you plan on using a rear block. My LTZ Z71 had less than 1.5” rake. For the time being, I ended up just doing a simple 1”, then someday in the future, I’ll do a 2” front level with a 1” rear block.

That’s the perfect look! What size tires are you running? Also, I wonder if the Z71 has less rake? I have the standard LTZ 4x4.

    • Looks like it's riveted to me. What is wrong with that 1? Welcome to the Forum!
    • Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.

    • Looking for this part for my truck. They don't sell just that one piece and to get it you have to pay over $100 even used for the whole air tube. The piece the hose clamp snaps into that is held on by the screw and nut. If anyone has access to one please let me know.
