Hi, I’m fairly new to the leveling truck world. I’m getting a 2 in RC level kit put on my 18 Nissan Titan and unsure what stock suspension/shocks are on there. Would I be better off getting any additional things put on like bilstein shocks? Also, do you have any maintenance tips for check ups to upkeep the integrity of the level kit? Like they say, you have to pay to play! Thanks

What’s up Andrew nice vid! Just wanted to mention that most rubbing comes from wheels with negative offsets, which means they stick out more. I’m running 33 inch tires and I had to do minor trimming due to the wheels having a -44 offset. The trimming wasn’t anything major just about an inch of the plastic trim inside the wheel well.
@AndrewDoesLife
@AndrewDoesLife 4 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the input Miguel! You're right, the setups I've run in the past did not have hardly any offset at all so that would make sense that a larger offset could cause rubbing with the same size 33 inch tires. Thank you for pointing that out!

So far they’re sounding good. A little more clear than the OEM speakers. But I had replaced the radio head unit a couple years ago so I’m sure that has something to do with it. Just waiting for the amp to come in this week and then gonna install over next weekend. Much love from Arizona

Leveled my truck both ways. The reason I went away from the pucks is that my truck started riding extremely shitty and when I took my struts out one spring had a coil snapped off the bottom and the other spring was bent to hell. Now I have the ranchos and upper control arms meant for a lift and the truck rides good.

I’ve heard that Bilsteins are of good quality shocks. I’ll look into them for myself. Is the ride stiffer or softer with them?
@nickcox8958
@nickcox8958 4 жыл бұрын
Andrew Does Life In my opinion bilsteins are probably the best you can buy for your truck. I woulda got their lifted struts but you had to reuse your stock springs which wasn’t possible for me. I replaced blown out stock shocks with the bilsteins so the ride was definitely a little stiffer. They’re awesome with a load on or pulling a trailer because they’re a lot harder to compress so the trucks not rocking like hell on any little bump.

I hope this still gets answered but I do have a question now after a week of processing. When you use leveling spacers. Does the ride feel rough or does it feel the same as stock? Should I just get the leveling struts to keep the smooth ride or just go with the spacers of the ride is still smooth. I have an 18 f150 by the way. Smiling to the 19 and 20 I think lol. Thank man
@AndrewDoesLife
@AndrewDoesLife 4 жыл бұрын
The ride might be a tad stiffer when adding the spacer leveling kit, but since your truck is a 2018 it is still so new I doubt you would notice the stiffness at all. My truck was already pretty old when I did it on my 2006 and I hardly noticed any difference in the ride quality.

Nothing to worry about my dude. I have an 04 f150 with a 2 inch leveling kit and it easily fits a 33 on 18s without any rubbing but depending on the width you may need to do some light plastic trimming. I honestly wouldn't go more than a 2.5 spacer in order to avoid any wear and tear that could happen.
@AndrewDoesLife
@AndrewDoesLife 4 жыл бұрын
I have run the same set up as well on my 2006 and I had no rubbing issues at all. As someone else in the comments pointed out most of the rubbing comes from people running larger offsets like a negative 44 or something. Even with a big offset like that though there shouldn't hardly any trimming at all required! :)
@AndrewDoesLife
@AndrewDoesLife 4 жыл бұрын
Yeah spacers can be sketchy at times. All the body shops I know of are instructed to not install them and make the owner install them themselves. Even if they do a tire rotation they're supposed to take the spacers off, do the rotation, and send the spacers home with the owner and have them re-install the spacers themselves haha
