Finally leveled the truck!

[GasHog369]

So since day 1 of getting this truck I had an issue with my tires rubbing. I stuck with the stock size 265 70/17 but went with Cooper ST Maxx. Being almost like a mud tire , they are a lot meatier and actually did rub on full crank on the inside corner of liner. Today I had my appointment to take care of that and make it look better while doing it. After It was leveled, I went straight to the dealer and had them align it.

 

I got my kit installed at a local Offroad place known as Jim Deans Offroad.. http://www.jimdeans.com/index.html

 

There price was $89 for the kit, and $150 to install. I thought this was pretty fair as I know its done right.

 

When I first inquired about the kit, I asked them what brand they use as I have seen RC the most mentioned here.. He mentioned 2 brands they use, but said RC was one he avoids since he has had problems with them in the past breaking...

 

I believe the kit He used on mine was Ready lift , but not 100% positive. I took a pic of the block, so if anyone knows for sure, please let me know. I forgot to ask him which one he had in stock of the 2..

 

Here's some pics of it. Only thing I have to figure out now is turn down the lights as they will likely blind people now..

 

I think It made a huge improvement and consider it my best mod yet!

 

Just for good comparison.. Here is a before shot...

 

And after.

Wierd, first I have ever heard this and I would say hundreds of people here have the kit.

Thanx,Yea it surprised me also that he didnt like RC.. I went in there asking for his recommendation as the installer and he said he use to use RC but to many people came back with them broken.. So I left it up to him. RC is the main one I see on this site tho.

I have a Ready Lift kit and like it a lot. Zero affect on factory ride. No issues at all. Truck has stayed aligned since installed 18 months ago.

I went with the ready lift 2.25" one and have been happy with it. amazing what a level kit and taking off the airdam does. Looks good btw.

I think it's because he has the wheel turned...

[GasHog369]

Yea, i had my wheel cranked all the way to see if it was near htiing the inside liner... not anymore. This solved it. Plus i wanted to get a pic of the block.

[kstruckcountry]

Hmm looks good. The little guy on my shoulder keeps saying level and 285's... Must resist

We only got about 3" all together but it was blowing around a lot so none stuck to the roofs.

 

Danny, I say do it! LOL. But if you tow, you would need to put in a add a leaf or something in rear so it dosent sink down into Cali style and aim your lights towards the sky.

 

I love these tires! The grip is amazing, They look great and they are wearing great!
