Yes, another thread level thread. I got her all cleaned up and wanted to show off the new additions. Hopefully I can contribute as well, I haven't seen many with the Rancho level. Anyway, here are the pics:








Very happy with the look and ride. The Terra Grapplers (45psi) ride softer than the Goodyear Silent Armors(42 psi) I had on there. The adjustable Rancho shocks are AWESOME. I can soften the ride to almost the way it was with P rated factory tires. And as you can see, the balljoint angle is not bad at all. One thing that I am on the fence about is the rake. I put in a 3" rear AutoSpring block, and i have about 2" of rake with it. I am wondering if I should replace it with a 2" block to get the rake down to 1". I didn't like the current setup at first, but it is growing on me. What do you guys think?

Looks good! I would def leave it. Could you tell any difference in the ride with the rear 3" block?

Thanks for the opinions all, I am leaving it as is. I just got back from a week in Cape Cod and got to do some highway driving (6 hrs each way). I was able to make some observations: The Terra Grapplers seem better on the highway then the Goodyears as far as driving dynamics (caught myself at 80 mph a couple of times). The sidewalls seem a little softer, but that may be due to the increased sidewall size. The Terras do howl a little more at highway speeds, but nothing that is obtrusive.

I have the Rancho shocks set at 2 all the way around, and the truck rides very softly. Which is exactly what I wanted. I love these shocks and can't say enough about how cool it is to be able to adjust the firmness. And to answer a previous question, the rear block did not change the ride characteristics at all. The Shocks sure did (I think if you set them at 3 that will approximate the OEM firmness), and the tires did.

MPG-wise it is not bad. The truck read out ~16 (Between 15.8 and 16.4), that includes a week of tooling around on the cape. That was with a tire size of 32.50", so if anything those numbers are low. The Speedo was dead on with the GPS. But I am still messing with the tire size in the programmer to figure out which setting I like the best (As far as transmission shifting). All in all, I am very happy with the combination, and glad I ponied up a little more for the Ranchos.

Your truck looks great, I wouldn't change anything. Are those terras 295/70r18? If so, did you get any rubbing issues? My 2011 screw 4X4 is just like yours except for the mirrors. I've read every page of the tire fitment post and printed the spreadsheet, some say they rub with stock wheels and some don't. I've been planning a 2.5" front level and 3" rear block with 295/70r18 terras but haven't pulled the trigger yet.

They won't rub, especially if ur adding a 2,5" level

How much did those tire change your MPH gage? How far off the actual speed limit is it?

How much did that setup cost (just the lift)? Would love to do that to mine.

i have a 2" level with rear aal and 295/70/18 terras and have not rubbed anywhere .
