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!

Gm kits comes with different struts, shocks, and cv axles. Its just the way gm did it. I have shock extensions right now but have longer bilstein shocks on order, they werent available yet. Imo i would never buy the gm kit, rancho shocks suck and i dont feel cv axles are needed

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?

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w

      I took a 12 second video on my iphone but the file is too big to upload. I will have to figure out how to extract the audio or just do another start with an audio recording.
