[@scotw67]

Excellent video. I know I’m in the minority, but I actually prefer a truck with a bit of rake. I think it gives the truck an aggressive look with some attitude. 👍🏻

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

The rake isn't why I did this specifically. I want to fit larger tires and this is the way to do it. I'm ok with rake, myself. 👍👍

Quick question, the stock ride was extremely comfortable before this change, did you notice a difference?

[@ZR2AL]

Wondering this also. When I leveled my Silverado 2500 it made the ride jarring. I’ve also noticed a lot of these kits state they’re not compatible with the ZR2 while others state they are.

Thank you. It definitely looks better but in my case will help achieve the tire setup I want.

[@karlvandeventer6187]

Followed the link to Amazon it states under important notes not for use on the Zr2. Why is that?

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

You can only use the top spacer you cannot use the bottom spacer on the ZR2. They are just covering them selves. I promise you the top spacer works without issue.

[@christopherwright6814]

I put a rough country 4 inch lift on my z71 and my 33s still rub on bumps with the fender liner saw sawed there is no way u could run 33s on a level kit without insane rub

should I replace bump stops as well if I do this? thanks

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

You can, there is a kit out there that offers different bump stops but I didn't notice any need for them personally.

[@brianlorenz9632]

i guarantee once you drive it and it settles u only get 5/8” of lift. all you did was space the struts down. that doesn’t effect preload or anything. if i jack my truck up and set it down right now it will look like i got a 4” lift. also do yourself a favor and jack up you’re truck so the front wheels are off the ground and check for cv binding. also the way suspension is setup all you’re bump stop locations aren’t correct anymore. i always tell people never do spacer lifts. they are cheap for a reason. buy nice or buy twice.

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

We're about 2 months out of that video being made and the measurements stayed exactly the same. Also this isn't a lift, it's a level. Leveling kits are almost always spacers.

[@brianlorenz9632]

@@HorsePowerObsessed thats all good. not trying to hate. just from experience in 4x4 stuff that front end must have crazy angles to get that lift. sure geometry plays a part in it. just trying to inform people about potential problems with spacer lifts. ie does the shock bottom out early from spacing the strut down and cv angles as well. biggest thing with spacers in now you’re down travel has moved down in the suspension cycle so there might be cv binding.

[@jamesbickford4769]

True that! Glad you said it. I’ve been scratching my head trying figure out how 5/8” gets you an 1 1/2” ? Even with new math it didn’t add up. Lol!

@@HorsePowerObsessed Level and forward castor gives you more room, 33's are good on road but watch out when you have articulation off road, back of the front wells, front of the rear wells. The AEV trim kit works great, looks a bit funky when new (it's shinny) but pretty much disappears with age.

[@vhackney9393]

33s you'll need 4.10:1 gears and Trifecta tune. 33s will change you speedo to read lower tha your going add gears and the difference is about 0.88 percent higher. At 60 you'll be showing 68 mph. Trifecta will adjust speedo, transmission shift points, and Advantage + gets a tune to the engine with 3 modes Eco, Tow haul, and Sport. With 2.25" level kit and 255 80 R17 Toyo AT3s I'm at 40" to bottom of stock fender and expecting 22 - 24 mpg, use of cruise control returned and 7th and 8th gear which I have rarely had. Only been in 4 cylinders mode 1 time since purchased.

[@JC-lk3oy]

No you don't "need" any of that. The stock gearing will still work fine. You can also get an inline speedo adjustment kit from places like 589 Fabrication for about $170. The inline kit will let you adjust to whatever size tire you charge to without having to pay for another tune every time you change tire size.
