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.

Just finished installing my 2009 silverado factory rear blocks in back. 1.25 inchs. Motofab 1.5 lower spacer in front. Seem to drive nicer with some rack back in it. Perfect for me now. xsquid

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.

    • Even tougher is the 5.0 / 302. That's what this one has.    https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   https://postimg.cc/4n3F3yzY   Just realized I had the airbox removed in the engine pic, lol.
    • Yep! This should be a pin somewhere as @pgamboa really dives into all of this. Thanks for reposting the link!
    • I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.       
    • Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.  
    • I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.
