Looking on here to see in anyone is running this kit?   
 

2.5" Front and 2" Rear Leveling lift kit for 2019-2020 Chevy Silverado Sierra GMC MotoFab

 

 

I am also considering he RC 2” level and the RC 3.5 lift. Trying to figure out what tires I can fit with a 2” level and the same for the 3.5”.

 

Post any pictures and tire size if you have them. Keeping my options open at this point. I do not want a full 6” lift (been there).

I just had my local mechanic install mine. For what it’s worth, MotoFab told me the extenders weren’t necessary and my mechanic installed mine without them. I haven’t noticed any I’ll effects of not h

I’m also looking at the MotoFab 2.5/2 kit as well. I’d love to hear anyone’s thoughts.

I've got it on mine. No problems had it over 10K

 

You need to purchase the rear strut extenders from motofab otherwise you will get a nasty bang every bump.

the front 2.5 kit is really 3"  and the rear 2.0 is really 2.5"  You'll be shocked at how high it actually is.

My motofab 2.5/2 gave me exactly that, there is no way a 2" rear block gave you more than 2"

Well unless it was a mislabeled box my rear is higher than 2.0.  I think i'm going to measure when I get home.

Measure how tall your block is, because it is only going to lift it however much that block is.

Potentially dumb question: is there any other hardware required for this? Can I simply install spacers in the front and blocks in the back and call it a day? That sounds too simple.

I installed the 2.5 top spacer on my 20 Sierra Crew Cab. I liked that you didn't have to disassemble the strut but had a hard time getting the mounting tab from the strut twisted enough to get the bolts to thread in on the first side. When I did the opposite side I used a large adjustable wrench to twist the bottom mounting tab angle to get the bolts to align. Made the install much easier.

I installed the spacer blocks from my 2014 in the rear. Think they were 1" or 1.25".

6000 miles and no problem so far!

Block kits come with u bolts so ya basically just put in the spacers and get it aligned. I wouldnt go more than 2.5" without upper control arms

Got it. If this is so simple and inexpensive, what advantage do the more expensive lift kits provide? Such as the GM 2" lift? I realize they include more hardware...but is it worth that much more money? Is it a better ride? I'm thinking this kit will get me a look close to an off-the-lot AT4, which is exactly what i'm looking for...nothing too crazy.

 

Do I not need replace the rear shocks with this setup? And, finally, is it def confirmed that we need to order the rear strut extenders? (they seem to out of stock)

 

Thanks again!

That looks really good! And that's the MotoFab kit? That's actually more level than i thought it would be with only a .5" difference. Have you measured your fender heights after installing?

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.

      Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      If your connector also has a big lever to get the connector on and off, you don't want to force the lever either way, as it becomes a bigger problem if you bust the lever or the mechanism it works.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      It's just useful to disconnect the battery to prevent odd shorting out when unplugging/plugging stuff together.  I also  touch the two cable ends together (after disonnecting) to drain the small amount of stored battery energy in various modules.   I believe the main system where you need to be more concerned with, so you need to do the above and then wait some time, iss when you are working on the air bag system, to prevent inadvertent firing of the air bags.   The in-cab switches are just that, plain switches, it's generally not a problem to swap them in/out.  For my '12, I'll get an error message on the dash if I power up the truck w them unplugged, but that's it (power up= turn the ignition on).   The ITBC located above the spare tire is a computer that manages the trailer brake system.  That is probably more important to have the battery disconnected.  It does have to be programmed to the truck, either before or after it's installed, for it to work.  For my '12, I had a very hard time reinstalling the main connector to it (IDK if yours is the same or not), it turned out the silicon seal was jamming up, preventing it from going on all the way.  I finally got it fully installed by lubing the seal with a bit of dielectric grease, then it slid on and latched in place easily.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By BCGM · Posted

      JR ! I just got the truck back from the Dealership today . The technician did a cold remote start on the truck this morning and it made the noise . It was determined that it was a starter issue and replaced it under warranty . Of course   it did not make the sound after a new starter was put in because the truck was not cold . We will we see what happens tomorrow morning when I start the truck cold  . Keep tuned !   Oh I found a video on YouTube of a cold start and it did the same thing your truck and mine do , I will see if I can find it and post it up
