So the verdict is that the 1” block is safe? I talked to my dealership and they use a rough country 2” that goes above the strut. It’s $900, takes all day to install and yields 1.5”. 

 

Did you order the gmc 1” or at4 specific 1”? Motofab told me they are the same thing but the at4 designation is $3 more

 

Do you have a Trail Boss or AT4?

I would not level a TB/AT4 without new control arms.  Someone recently had a UCA failure with 2.5" (non TB/AT4) either on here or FB.   Could have been a different root cause, but seems

Well I guess you don’t need to if you don’t mind your balljoint breaking while going down the road and then having to replace other parts along with the UCA. Your truck, your choice. Sent from my

I didn’t like mine (balljoint angle) and I saw a post where someone’s balljoint broke and required CV axle replacement as a result. Rock on indeed!     Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

305/70/18 should work, right? Only 12” wide

I Called ready lift again today, they said any tire over 11.5” wide with stock rims isnt recommended as it may rub. They have 6mm spacer kit and they actually said it will help stock rims with wider than 11.5” tires clear the control arm.

Boom . Should be good to go

Shouldn’t have any regrets?

 

I wish motofab would get back to me. The GMC 1” level and GMC TB/AT4 1” level is the same product but with a different sku and the TB/AT4 part is $4 more.

The pictures look different between the 2. And I know sometimes photos are not accurate representations but for $4 why not go with the one specific to your truck?

Looking to level my trail boss but have seen issues on here with peoples truck, angles and stuff not being good after a level and parts breaking down the road.

 

planned on sticking with stock wheels and maybe doing a 1/2” wheel spacer, what size tires can I run without issue once leveled? 35x12.5x18?

I had a RC 1.5 level kit installed on my 2020 TB , so far no issues .. the ready lift doesn’t address the cv axles so 1.5 is the max I was will to go and a one inch may be a better choice ...

I’ve had the RC level on my Lt TB for probably about 10k km now. Lots of off road down logging style roads and a bit of fun in the mud. 
 

zero issues; zero issues at all, the dealer whom installed it said it was a better kit then the one they sell for TB/AT4s. So now they recommend and sell the RC kit, who Cj also doesn’t void warranty because it’s under 2”. 
 

I love it, I would recommend it, my 2 friends who have trail bosses as well both installed it with zero issues, angles are fine on both CV and Balljoint. I’ll get the Cognito UCAs is when my ballpoints go but for now I wouldn’t worry about spending the cash on them, no point. I love the kit, survived a nice Canadian winter and again no issues

A better kit than the one they sell for the TB/AT4s?

What kit, exactly, is it? Because the levels are basically all the same with the exception of the install location on the strut.

All I know is it’s the TrailFX kit, I didn’t look too much into it. But honestly love the RC kit, no regrets at all. Gonna put the Cog UCAs on probably when the ball joints go down the road

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
