Tony Vehicle looks sharp. Always informative videos. Interesting that RC went with a spacer to go under the bottom spring seat to increase the height as well as a spacer on top. Most of these simple lifts have a spacer on the top and then another under the strut bolted to the lower control arm.
@movaughn20 10 ай бұрын
First time I've seen a shock spacer as well. Tossing a 2" billet spacer over the top hat seems so much simpler, and keeps the OE shock ride.

Got a trail boss in white a couple months ago, so far love the heck out of it. Only modifications ive done since it left the dealership is the removal of the airdamn and the high output upgrade. Have had the HO upgrade for a few days and so far i do notice a bit more pep. But if you havent really floured it and pushed it to its 0-60 a couple times im not sure the highout is terribly noticeable. Im sure ill notice more when i go on the trails here in colorado. Im curious how well these types of lift kits do from a ton of offroading?

Excellent video. I know how much extra time it takes to record and talk about every step, then put it all together and you did a great job with this. I've had my Trail Boss for 3 months, and it's nice to see the mods trickling out, but they are literally trickling out. PS: How nice is it to do a lift on a new truck? I did my Wrangler with 1500 miles on it and it was like playing with a giant lego set. No rust, no crumbling plastic clips, and no smashing the crap out of everything to get it apart. 😄🍺

Love the videos subscribed last week. I have the WT and did the 1.25 lift I bought some silverado 20" wheels with new 255/75/20 Nitto AT tires. They fit but the wheel hits the caliper. Could you send me the part number for the offsets u used. I know you probably listed it in the description, but i can't seem to find it (im an older fellow). Also I did the switchback blinkers from ur other video, luckily you had a pic of the part number. Thank you Sir, keep making em and I'll keep liking em.

It definitely fits. They have to put that in there bc they never installed it on those models since they already come with a factory 2 inch lift. But the factory lift is built into the suspension. So this will work.

After 7k miles the outside edges are bald, they're the oem street tire, not all terrain. I guess I should mention its the 23' wt trim. Same leveling kit you used, I didn't do the rear though, squat is barely noticeable actually has a nice stance, I could barely keep a meal down looking at the factory stance having the front that low. Reminded me of 80's camaros with traction bars. Anyway all my previous trucks have been straight axle front so im not real familiar with the camber adjustment. Im sure I could figure it out easy enough but it almost seems like you cant individually adjust camber without risking throwing the toe out. I believe I have 2 of the eccentric adjustment bolts or camber bolts on the lower A arm, only one set per side has the plastic filler they put in the groove. Top A arms have the standard looking rubber bushing bolts. Maybe you know exactly which ones to manipulate.

Does the steering feel different. And does it ride stiff with the two inch lift? Nice looking truck.
@TonyTheTechnician 9 ай бұрын
Steering still feels really nice. The rear may feel a little stiffer. But once shocks are released for this truck then that should solve that. But it's nothing super noticeable. It may just be because I have like 400 lbs in the back of my truck at all times

No check engine light. The only creaking you should have is the rear leaf springs which is common to make creaking and popping noises on all gm trucks. Which is a simple fix. Put a piece of rubber between your leaf springs.

Hi there... great videos. Question? I order the 2 in lift kit with RC and after 3 days, a rep from RC called me and informed me that he doesn't recommend this kit because the ride quality will suffer 🤔... I wanted to put 295... but now idk .... what's your feedback in regards to ride quality?

Idk why a company that sells the kit would call anyone and tell them that. Sounds weird to me and no ride quality is the same. This isn't a big lift kit.

@TonyTheTechnician 4 ай бұрын
Ride quality is good. The only issue I had was since I'm constantly carrying extra weight in the rear I swapped out tlto the cce rear lift shackle instead of the block. Then I also did an add a leaf and upgraded the rear shocks. Now I will say on concrete at certain speeds the back end would bounce alot with that weight before I did these changes.

Can you tell me what you think I should have done from the start?
@TonyTheTechnician 4 ай бұрын
You can definitely still install it. The only reason it says it doesn't work is bc the TB already has a block spacer in the rear. So you either put this block on top of the existing one or you take both out and buy a spacer that is 2 inches instead of having 2 spacers that are 1 inch each bc Stacking blocks is frowned upon.

They maintain their reputation by keep people happy with free warranty replacements, basically the Pittsburgh of the off road aftermarket. On the other hand, absolutely steller choice going with Wildpeaks for tires.
@TonyTheTechnician 10 ай бұрын
I'm not disagreeing with you per say bc rough country is not know for being the high emd off road company. But it all depends on the product. When it comes to a 2 inch lift of this style you can't really create a bad product. It's literally spacers and that's it lol. Now if it were the entire shock/strut assembly and mechanically moving parts then ya I would suggest going with a brand that is well known for quality like bilstein or fox. But when it comes to items like this you couldn't pay me enough money to spend more on simple spacers lol. So I completely agree and disagree with you 👍🤣 I always appreciate your input and comments. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts
