    Should have left it, rough country makes some blocks that are meant to be used with the stock ones. It's not unsafe to stack blocks that are under 2 inches each. Now if you stacked a 3 and a 2 that would be concerning.

  • @jamesngotts
    @jamesngotts Před 6 lety +9

    Also just so you know your rear fender size is not the same as your front fender size so measuring from the wheel to the fender is not going to give you level of not. GM trucks have a ~2.5in rake. 3.5 in the front and 1 in the rear and your level, i believe the RC blocks are 1.25 resulting in a -.25 rake to the front.

  • @crackedcreationsmotocycles763

    The stock truck comes higher in the rear ! In order to "level" it a smaller lift is added to the back to compensate and create an even look on the body lines. Use an actual level on the box rail to check this (fenders don't necessarily have the same cut and are not a good place to find a level measurement)

  • @claytondennis8034
    @claytondennis8034 Před 6 lety +2

    You measure level on your truck from the ground to the start of the wheel well. The shorter block on your 2WD kit will make you level at the box frame of your bed, adjusting for the factory designed rake of the truck. Since you were tightening on the previously unused prtion of your u-bolts you should be good unless the nuts are nylon insert locking nuts. I did the same thing to an 07 Silverado I had in Hawaii before I got out of the military. With the stacked blocks, my wheel wells had the same clearance, but the truck had a squatted look from the cab being about 1.5" higher than the back. Good video man.

    You don't need power tools To REINSTALL SUSPENSION PARTS. Taking it apart would be faster, but suspension parts are torque sensitive. You don't want to over tighten. Invest in a good torque wrench, 90-98 ft pounds on your ubolts, after a week you'll need to tighten them again.

  • @TheOhanaBennett

    Oahu, yeah? We’re Big Islanders. Definitely need to get the 3” blocks installed. I agree with some of the previous comments - think you should replace the u-bolts each time if practical. And trim most of the excess. They’d definitely get torn up on our lava rock!

    I have the same truck with the same lift kit. You had it installed correctly the first time. When I ordered that kit I added the solid 3in blocks and it’s way better than double stacking. Rough Country wants you to double stack them for non 4x4 trucks. If it came with solid 3in blocks the kit would cost more.

    The spacing on the front is going to be larger than the rear because the genders are designed to clear the tires at a raked stance, look at a stock one. If you just leave those blocks in it is level, your fender wells are not the way to tell if it is level, just park it on flat ground and you’ll see

  • @colbyscott9822
    @colbyscott9822 Před 5 lety

    You don't measure level at the center of the wheel well. Usually, (maybe not all, but definitely most) vehicles have different sized front wheel wells than the rear. This allows for suspension travel while turning. The rear doesn't need the same amount of space because the wheel travels in a static, verticle path. The front wheel wells need to accommodate all that travel while also accommodating the swing radius of the wheels/tires. The only guaranteed way to measure level is ground to the frame rail. Although, you usually can measure ground to the bottom edge of the body panel, too.

    You should put that 3 inch lift on that el camino, Mojave desert pre runner is not bulldog look, looks great, headlamps work better, and front lifted for all that weight up there, you won't be offloading or RACING with a load of furniture or cement blocks.
    Also haul ass and hit brakes hard on wet surface or sand or gravel and that bulldog stance will save your ass with control and braking stability. The level truck or high in rear will put you in danger on emergency braking or extreme stopping.

    @dalejohnson9342 Před 4 lety

    The lift you should have used is an Off Road Design lift kit. It is designed to replace and correct the issues that a block system creates. Axle wrap is a real issue that is created by blocks.
    You can mitigate some of the problem of axle wrap by having your local machine shop build some blocks that are about six inches on each side of the axle and that will reduce the problem. The added advantage of the longer blocks is that they allow the spring to work better than with the small blocks.

  • @Guillotines_For_Globalists

    If the blocks are both STEEL you could have them welded together to make a 3" block. But make sure the taper is in the correct direction. The taper's job should be to point the pinion UP in the front rather than DOWN towards the ground.

  • @risanch
    @risanch Před rokem

    Looks like you already had it leveled so you should've left it alone. My stock Silverado came with an about 1 1/2" difference from rear to front in height. In other words had a 1 1/2" rake in the front (lower) I put in 1 1/2" shock spacer in the front which in essence "leveled" it. Here's what I figured out. If you want to lift your truck but keep it level. Whoever much you lift in the front you need to add 1 1/2 inches more to the back. The reason trucks come with a slight rake in the front is to accommodate for a load in the back. If load up your truck bed with the stock rake it will level out and won't look like the back is sagging.

    You should only use your u bolts once and need to be torqued to specs. Also cut off the remaining bolt. Most u bolts are sent longer then needed. When torqued to specs or tighten it deforms the threads some. If you take' m off and on you might not get' m fully tighten

    • @Aford4322
      @Aford4322 Před 6 lety +1

      I agree that normally you should not re-use the U-bolts; however, in this case, he is tightening the nuts further down along the threads to accommodate the removed factory block so he doesn’t have to be concerned with having the bolt stretched within this portion of the threads. If he were to replace the block with something else in the future, he should definitely use new U-bolts at that time. I agree 100% that he should cut the ends of the bolts so he could have put a torque wrench on them to ensure they are tightened to spec.

    • @Nate-uf3kw

      they give you a torque value so that you don't stretch the threads...... threads stretch when over tightened... if your tiny arms manage to stretch the threads then your using cheese grade U-Bolts fresh off the boat from china... and FFS always use never-seize.. and do not ever lift your 5000lb truck by the rear differential housing like honestly f***in amateurs .. its cast steel that's paper thin

    I put a RC 3.5 lift/level on my Sierra 2500, absolute worst mistake I’ve made and a waste of money I will never get back.... where to start. Ahhh with the install, I took it to a RC recommended dealer who was a complete idiot and put the right UCA on the left and the left UCA on the right (fyi they aren’t interchangeable). This caused the UCAs to sheer off my bump stops. When i brought it back to the guy he said thats normal. He refused to refund me, fix or pay for the fix. I called RC (5 times) to complain about their installer and surprise they never called me back. Luckily my wife’s uncle builds off-road trucks and jeeps and helped me out with a fix and has done great work for me since. The RC kit also completely screws up your steering, tie rods and CV angels. Currently I have removed the RC kit and replaced it with a CST 3-6in kit set at 4 which resets all the above geometry to factory specs. I am someone who actually overlands and off-roads with my rig. Any off-roading with RC kit will result in needing a steering alignment and cause heavy wear on your upper ball joints. Words of wisdom, the RC kit will cause long term damage to your vehicle, will break down your tie rods and damage your CV boots. Ditch it and get either CST, BDS or Cognito. They are expensive but they are built to last and not to wear on your truck’s IFS components.

    I install rc lift kits every day for the past 9 years. The 1 1/2 blocks for the rear are correct for the kit. To level the truck it takes 2 1/2 in the front with nothing in the rear, so when you go 3 1/2 in the front technically it puts it 1 inch high in the front. So the factory blocks are 1 inch and the new blocks are angled and 2 inches in the high side there fore making it look level to the eye when standing back. The back 90% of the time is 2 - 2 1/2 higher from the factory on most trucks.

    I'm still trying to figure out how your old set up was unsafe.you have both blocked shacked down and both blocks have location holes.i think you just like the squat boy life and don't wanna let anyone know 😅😅

    Nice truck. I am looking at doing a 2-3 inch lift on my truck.. I miss Hawaii it's too cold here.

    All the lifts I have used no matter how big the block you leave the stock blocks in that's how they are designed

    Put a level on the bed rails. If level is what your after. Matching clearance doesn't necessarily mean level!

    You shouldnt have a california lift "prerunner" look with that lift kit. Im fairly sure they sent you the wrong blocks for the rear.

      TheSpartanPaul it's called the carolina squat

      Ive heard it called 5 or 6 different things.

    • @loganseibel6324
      @loganseibel6324 Před 6 lety +2

      The Tennessee tilt lol. Georgia squat Cali lean but if you read the directions ruff county tells you to stack the blocks. I know it’s wrong. I order the lift over the phone and I ask them to swap the blocks out and they did for me.

    • @robbailey1234
      @robbailey1234 Před 2 lety

      It is the wrong kit not wrong blocks. If you buy the cheap 2wd kit you get the short blocks. Why does everyone who does not spend the money for the right kit blame it on RC for the wrong blocks. IDIOTS!

    @littlebrother6770 Před 6 lety

    Well I’m sure that truck is a concrete baby so don’t really see the problem with leaving the the blocks stacked. And I’m pretty sure In the direction of that kit it says to stacked them for the truck to be level

  • @Andrew07Goodwin
    @Andrew07Goodwin Před 6 lety

    Put the truck on level ground and then put a level on top of your bed caps, and then you will probably understand why they call it a leveling kit. Your truck should be level, but your fender gaps will be different.

    • @Volksoner619
      @Volksoner619 Před 6 lety

      Andrew07Goodwin or position the truck facing a pier then put a brick on the gas and tuck and roll it into an insurance claim then buy a smart car

  • @ramon22
    @ramon22 Před 6 lety

    You got it right at first some times they send that block and you have to use both I but that cali lean looks good and that's why you have to use the 2 blocks

    I heard that rough country is coming out with a bracket kit to fix all of the upper control arm and ball joint issues, especially for the ‘07-‘13 Silverado. Just thought I’d pass the info on.

  • @blkicemike4857
    @blkicemike4857 Před 6 lety

    Now when I leveled my tahoe,.. I got lvl kit and it was same way. 3in front, 2in. rear that's why it's called leveling kit. So the front doesn't look sagging down lower . I think it suppose to be that way.. Maybe I'm wrong, look on Amazon at lvl kit it's same 3 front, 2 rear.. However could depend on the brand too.. Idk for sure...

  • @ryan2546
    @ryan2546 Před 6 lety

    I don’t even have to watch the video. I just turned a customer to a different kit at my shop because of all the cutting required on the RC 3.5” kit

  • @434ranch9
    @434ranch9 Před 6 lety

    I would've left it like you had it, i bought an inch taller block and did away with my rough country block because I haul a trailer when I mow so it helps with the load. The front upper ball joints go bad frequently, might want to get better ball joints pressed in for this lift kit. The mechanics also tryed what you did and the u bolts were too short so idk how you did it, they asked how it was a 3.5 inch lift if the stock block had to come out. Car drivers are going to hate you now because your headlights will be in their face instead of on the road where they belong.

    Not a good idea but that was their purpose.
    Their new blocks are the right size
