Alright, I finally put my RC 2inch leveling kit on. I couldnt be happier. I never imagined the difference it would make in the appearance of the truck. I also put replaced the rotors and brake pads. I havent got it alligned yet, will do it tom. But i drove it around to test the breaks and noticed a vibration. It didnt seem to be out of alignment at all. Will the alignment fix the vibration? Let me know what you thing of the new pics. Next come the tires!

what size tires will you be going with? I have a rough country kit waiting on the workbench to be installed when I get the time. I'll also need to get some new tires for my 20's (same wheels you have) soon... just curious what youll be going with

Im gonna go with the 275 60 20 Cooper Zeon LTZs. I was gonna go with the 305 55 20s, but it is a 400 dollar difference in price.

+1, mine drove perfect after my 2" level kit but the toe was out of alignment.. I'm sure you did but I will ask, did you torque everything back to Specks? Not sure the vibration would be caused from the lift, I would double check your pad and rotor install.

thanks. I had been looking at michelin ltx at/2 in 275 60 20, but have been hearing a lot on here about the coopers... and the price sure seems right on the coopers! I just dont know anything else that wears as good as michelin. the michelins (ltx m/s) on a truck where I work got 64,000 trouble free miles. perhaps someone with some wear on the coopers can chime in...

 

what I would like to have are 285 55 20 BFG all terrains but I'm not sure they'll fit. and they are super pricey. but I know they wear good cause they are made by michelin. they looked like new at 30,000 miles on them when i traded my avalanche.

 

I need to find time to do my leveling kit soon, I'm gettin jealous of everyone elses :thumbs:

Ive heard nothing but good things about the Coopers. I know the michelins last forever. The 285 55 20 BFGs will definityly fit with the leveling kit.

I've read in a few other posts on levelling that you take a hit to oyur fuel economy. Is it true in most of the cases for a 2" lift to the front?

What brand leveling kit did you use?

 

 

RC = Rough Country

 

truck looks good Wess. i'm really interested in seeing it when you get the new tires on. i might do the same to my truck, so it would be great to see exactly what my truck would look like.

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
