I have put a rc leveling kit on the front of my 21 1500 4wd.  Has anyone ever put RC rear lift blocks in (2inch)without changing shocks.  I really don't want to change shocks.  The 1.5 rear block is for a 2500 apparently.  Anyone know of a company that makes 1.5 rear inch lift blocks for 1500?

I just did the same…2” leveling kit in the front and 1.5” blocks in the rear. I ordered from eBay as well. Not this exact part referenced above (although I wish it was because it’s cheaper than the one I bought) but same deal. Lifted leaf springs with a Jack and installed. Didn’t touch the shocks. There’s another thread here with different pics and info. That’s where I got the info before I did mine.

You can get shock extenders. The shocks will extend with the blocks but if the axle droops it will bottom out the shock inside the body. It depends if you really off road or travel a lot of bumpy roads. I picked up a pair for $25 on ebay.

I just ordered some 1” blocks and Ubolts from MaxTrac. Not sure if they had a 1.5” but they had a good selection. I’m leveling my Trail Boss by lowering the rear end and reducing the rake. If I like the look, then I’ll replace the rear shocks to better match the new suspension travel. I’m thinking about adjustable Rancho 9000 if anyone has an opinion on them that they want to share.

The AT4 and Trail Boss are monotube shocks, better than the OEM twin tube shocks. And 2” longer.

I’ve been trying to find information on the stock Rancho Trail Boss rear shocks. Rock Auto has them as AC Delco replacements, but no mention of the type of shock although the answer to gas charged is “no.” Rancho has mostly twin tube like the 5000, which is the closest to what I can find to factory.

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      This video may not be the exact content for the joke thread but its a lot of laughs so here it is, I've only watched a portion of it so far but if anyone is looking for some light hearted good soap box driving action, its here. As a note in the upper left of the screen it shows the number out of 100 to refer back to any particular vehicle for comment !.    https://www.facebook.com/reel/1351928276956715

      2023 DRW Wheel Liners

      Did have to make 1 modification because of the WeatherTech rear mud flaps and that was needing 3 longer screws than what came with the install package. 😄

      Picked up the liners yesterday. Installed passenger side WITHOUT any modifications. All mounting holes lined up perfectly. Rain is interfering today with drivers side. Very Happy! Will add pics when finished

      OCI, not when but why?

      As a matter of amusement I’ll leave this conversation with this. Do you beat the government average fuel estimate? Statistics are a guide to me. Not a rule. Someone once said I have to have the last word. If true and possible may be. I’ll blame that on working in a family business.

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

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That is a fair point, and I agree that trying to log “everything in the truck” would be the wrong direction.   There are a lot of modules and a lot of traffic. If the product became a full-truck datalogger, the amount of data would get huge very quickly, and most owners would never use it.   I think the first useful version would need to be narrow: - powertrain-side event evidence - selected high-value parameters - communication / voltage / reset events - pre/post event window - short report first, raw log only as backup   One distinction I should make is between active OBD/PID polling and passive bus capture. If you are polling PIDs through OBD, then yes: the more parameters you request, the lower the effective sample rate becomes, and you are adding diagnostic traffic to a vehicle that is already busy running itself. With passive CAN capture, the recorder is not asking all the modules for data. It is listening to traffic that is already on the bus. So it does not consume vehicle bus bandwidth in the same way that a scan tool polling hundreds of PIDs would. But your point still applies in a different way.   Even if passive capture does not add bus traffic, the recorder still has limits: - processing rate - storage rate - timestamp accuracy - decoder workload - event filtering - report size - user attention span   So the answer cannot be “log everything and let the user figure it out.” The product would need to store enough raw evidence to be useful, but only decode, graph, and present the important parts around the event.   A practical report should probably show: - what triggered the capture - how much pre/post data was preserved - which selected parameters changed - how those values compared to baseline - whether the same pattern happened before - whether any voltage, reset, bus-off, lost-message, or communication fault occurred - selected graphs around the event - raw data only as supporting evidence   So I agree with you. More data is not automatically better. The real product is the reduction from raw data into a useful event report.
