Let's see some pics of some lifted and leveled

Yes that is definitely something I am going to check. And by check I mean the lift shop. Going to bring it by and let them once it over for stock suspension parts. I have the rear sway bar drop brackets in that I may have them put on to try to get the rear wheels centered.

I will measure fenders tomorrow.

Those brackets are for the trailing arms off the frame. Your RC kit should have the sway bar links already on it. Did you get the 1.5" rear wheel spacers? If you need extra help from body roll then pick up a set of Eibach front and rear sway bars. Heard it does wonders for being lifted on the highway.

Yeah im trying to get my trailing arm closer to a factory angle AKA parallel with the ground to get my rear wheels centered in the rear wheel well.

The lift kit relocated the whole sway bar down to accommodate. If the factory sway bar links are fully connected, not broken or disconnected, but the rubber bushings are cracked and fairly worn, they are still essentially doing their job, and aren't going to by my issue, correct?

The trailing arms will become close to level with the pro comp drop brackets. That will recenter the axle.

You should have longer sway bar links in the rear with a bracket for the front. The stock sways are weak and cause a lot of float. Bigger front and rear bars will tighten up the drive. Also new bushings up front would help. The main feel is the increased track width. This makes the steering feel twice as sensitive. Get those rear wheel spacers on then try it out. If you want to tighten it up some more then order eibach sways.

I'd definitely go over the stock parts. I had two broken sway bar links up front at about 90k. I added Moog problem solver links and bushings front and rear.

I'd also say that your stock control arm bushings and ball joints should be looked at pretty closely. You're static alignment on the rack might be fine but once you add dynamic loads at road speed you could have some wayward effects on your steering and how the truck tracks down the road.

Nice

Anyone know if 33x12.50r22 will work with a 2/2.5" level on stock rims? I imagine the height won't cause an issue, since I've seen some people run 275/60r20 and 305/45r22, but the width might be the issue. I know there's no way in hell it will fit without rubbing. I don't mind trimming.

 

[01Konvict]

Yeah you can do it. Need to trim liner bracket forward and maybe small NorCal mod. Think the offset on 22s will keep the 305 off sway bar

Thanks. I'm planning to get the Ridge Grapplers in that size when they finally come out. At the moment they're only available in 17-18" sizes; Nitto says the 20-22" sizes will be released within the next few months.

2012 LT AWD with 2" RC Front level kit.
Going to opt out for a 2.5"/2" kit as I want a little more lift. Also going with 17" inch wheels and much bigger tires soon as these are about worn out.
