Leveling kit

[mikewohlwend]

What's is everyone's fender to ground height with and without a level on stock 18's? I just got a 2019 and was curious if mine is just leveled or if it has a non stock lift and level. When I did a quick measurement over the weekend I was getting 41.25" all around.

I have been debating whether or not to bump up to a 35 as well.

Send a picture of your front. You probably just have a leveling kit, I’d check to see if the UCA’s are not stock (hopefully not). I just put 295/70/18 Toyo Open Country’s on stock 2020 TB suspension and have front rub. It is minor and doesn’t phase me. Those stand at 34.3’’

I will when I get off work.

I got slight rubbing at full lock with stock and 295/70R18 Cooper AT3s. Installed the Rough Country 1.5" spacer solved that. (My upper control arms are fine with the 1.5" spacer but it is definitely maxed out).

Did you put on the RC UCA kit for the trailboss?

What brand 1.5" spacer did you go with?

 

[Gripped]

Lots of bad information out there on TB front end leveling. It's all over the net that you must change your control arms even if you are just going 1.5 or 2 inches to level it. Not true. I had a local off road shop quote me over 1,400.00 bucks to instal that kind of kit. Ironically I found my answer at my dealership. They have a factory approved, aftermarket spacer kit for just north of $500.00 installed including the required front end alignment. Perfect for my needs. YMMV.

Do you know what Factory approved spacer kit they put on your truck and size of the spacers?

No I don't. I am going by the word of the guy there.

Okay, thank you.

I installed this kit on my 2019 and my 2020 great kit and its made here in nevada

How’s that ready lift kit holding up any issues with cv axles

I talked to my GM dealer and they say there is no factory approved level up for the AT4/TB. In fact they said, we will level up a non-AT4/TB but will not do same for the AT4/TB.

Told me the same thing. In theory it is a bad idea. Adding a leveling kit on top of a leveling kit. Should take theirs out and add a 4" aftermarket kit from a company like Blistein, King, etc. That being said I added a 2.0 RL to mine. 26k miles later no issues.

@HammerBoss - How long have you had your 2.0" RL on? Any regrets and would you do things differently now?

Going on almost a year and I’ve had zero issues , no odd sounds or vibrations , I do make sure the upper control arms are greased properly and I upgraded to Bilstiens 5100 with the ready lift….made numerous trips maybe 12,000 miles on kit… 295/70/18’s on zero offset ICON’s fit perfectly with no rubbing.

I have had the RL 2" on for about 2 years now and have not had any problems at all. I get the tires rotated and re-balanced every 3k miles and the Ridge Grapplers look to be in really good shape at 27k miles. Alignment has stayed perfect.
Would I do the same thing again after learning more about the suspension? No. I would remove the TB factory lift (spacer) and get a true 4" lift kit along with Bilstein shocks. Lots more money but it's the right thing to do IMHO. However nothing wrong with the RL route, it is less expensive and does the job.

Thanks for the reply and information.
