Got the fox 2.0 kit installed yesterday and put on some 275/70/18 terra grapplers on. Love the way it looks and the ride is outstanding. Huge improvement over stock.

1.5" Motofab leveling kit. I plan to run this spacer until BDS comes out with a 4" lift for the Trail Boss/AT4

So I got the Rough Country 2 inch leveling kit that goes over the strut. Installation was a ******, took about 9 hours with the help of a mechanic. Mind you we also aligned it and swapped out sensors for new aftermarket rims as well. With that said it only raised the front of my 2021 2wd Custom 1.5". Was truly hoping for a true 2 inch raise. I was able to get 22 inch rims with 33/12.5/22r tires on it. It only rubs on the passenger side on full right turn. ill try to get pictures ASAP. after reading the last 36 pages and me not really going off roading with my 2WD, i wish i would have gone with the simple 2 inch under the strut leveling kit from ready lift. Gotten the same look i assume and would have had it done in less than an hour. 

 

When i called Rough Country about which part (over or under mount) to buy for the leveling kit, they advised I can use either one, but that the under strut kit was less sturdy and would wear down other suspension components much faster than going with the top mounted spacer. They strongly recommended i get the top mounted part. I have 15K miles on my truck so i figured let me go with the "better" kit to last longer....I got buyers remorse now. But on the other had I love my 22" rims on 33" tires combo. 😀

Im not exactly sure why it took ( hours install time? 

 I just installed a motofab 2" on top of strut level kit on my 2021 RST and took 1.5 hours tops. went well and easy. 

 But I must say it did lift full 2"s and now I must get a 1" block in rear to level as the front is now higher than the rear.

The instructions were not that great with the cutting of the studs, it just did not go smooth. I felt more like a mod job than a plug and play part. Just my opinion. I expected a 2-3 hour job and i ended up spending all day on it.

Reading through this massive thread and something I keep seeing that I think needs clarified is tires are NOMINALLY sized, meaning not all 33x12.5’s or 295/60/20 or X/Y/Z tire is the same. 
 

You have to look at the specific dimensions for each manufacturer & brand of tire. For instance some nominally sized 33’s may have actual dimensions of 32.5 or less. Others may be slightly > 33. 
 

Depending how tight your clearance is (or isn’t) you may end up with rub issues over these minor differences.

Got my dealership to install a 2" ReadyLift leveling kit. They originally added a 2" rear block as well (first picture) which I then had removed to get rid of the rake. (second picture) Distance from ground to fender is within 1/8" front to rear as it sits currently.

The fronts using under strut spacers?

Yes, the lower front strut extensions from ReadyLift

 

Did you manage to take your before and after measurements on this? I've heard it doesn't actually provide the full 2" of lift.

I forgot to take before measurements, but it's currently at 39 3/4 from the ground to the fender. Tires are a touch bigger than stock as well (275/60R20 vs 265/60R20) I agree that it doesn't raise it a full 2", but it sits level with the back now so that's ok with me.

is 2.5" motofab level to much for the upper control arms or still within the safe limit? currently my front end with the 3.0 duramax is 36.5" and rear is 38.5". what does the factory rear block measure out at.. id like to lift the rear an 1" above stock.

Going to revive an old thread. Lots of good information here.

 

I just picked up a 2022 RST Crew Z71 with the standard bed and the 6.2 on Saturday. The truck is great so far, but since I also have an AT4HD that's leveled with 35's, this 1/2 ton seems tiny to me.

 

Reading all the posts in this thread, it seems odd to me that with my Weatherguard toolbox in the bed, I only have about a 1/2" difference between the front and rear. The toolbox is full of stuff, but I can't believe it would remove nearly all of the rake. I didn't measure before the toolbox, but I know it wasn't anywhere near the 1.25-2.5" of factory rake most of y'all seem to have. I did notice that my truck doesn't have any sort of a factory block in the rear, is that normal?

 

Anyway, I ordered a 2" RC leveling kit (top mount) and ProRyde adjustable rear blocks. Once I install the leveling kit and get the alignment done, I'll install the rear block to level it back out. 34 or 35" Ridge Grapplers will be next.

      In the 6.6 gas thread, I added information in my fluid change thread about these gauges and temperatures. With very limited data, it so far looks like ~30 degrees difference between front and rear.

      Fluid Change Questions

      I know; crap pictures.   Anyway, as a finale of sorts to this thread, I had replaced both differential covers and since they had the capability of adding temperature probes, I did that. These are MaxTow analog/digital gauges with stepper motors. They'll flutter around like crazy for a moment and start at a nominal 100 degrees Fahrenheit.   I drove a 30-mile loop to the grocery store, averaging 70 MPH (as much as 80 to see if there was a quick spike in temperature. The air temperature is 102 (ambient ?). but the first pic is 7 miles into the trip. The second is getting back into the truck after leaving the store; differential temperatures dropped about three to four degrees in 15 minutes. The third pic in on the road to my house, about a mile away.   In that run, I saw a high of 150F on the rear differential, and 121F on the front. I'm sure a longer drive or towing will see higher than that, and when that happens, I can update the observations.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      Fully warm, coolant temp >194, closed loop.   Run time can be anywhere from just reached operating temperature to having driven 30+ miles.   The O2 chart (which is a feature I just discovered after reading) for the bad idle seems to be "most" of the time. For the little time I've been watching it (scanning and driving! watchout!) I can't seem to isolate any cause or condition yet.   It definitely idles rougher sometimes than others and so far what I've seen is the rougher idles are always rich. But not enough to set a CEL.   In other news I replaced the starter solenoid. Everything on this truck is such a PITA. Starter "snout" is mangled up with the torque converter inspection cover which is tangled up with hard cooling lines and the driveshaft. But I got 'er done without too much swearing...I just go into everything now knowing it's going to be a frustrating mess.   The starter solenoid replacement kicks off the next round of work: AC, injector rebuild, cat, exhaust. I'm just going to do it all. But first:   I don't know what my fuel pressures are. I can't definitively say the issue is the injector without first verifying fuel pressures and any leakdown. I "rented" a test kit ($199.99 at O'Really's ...intentional misspelling). They don't "rent" tools anymore, they charge you for the tool and then you return it when you're done. No joke. It is listed as a rental on the receipt but the guy told me there's no difference between renting and buying  now, you just return it when you're done and they refund the credit card. Mmmkay, whatever.   I will rule out fuel pressure issues (too much), and any leaking (that's how I'll know the problem is inside the intake). I think someone said the return line could be plugged or not flowing and that could cause high fuel pressure (and too much fuel being pushed through injectors). I'll cross that bridge if I get high readings.   As of now I'm ready to tear off the intake cover, extract the injector, and have it sent off to be rebuilt just so I can rule that out.
