ncd leveling kit

Titan _Special · 02-09-2010, 03:43 AM

hey guys i just ordered ncd 2'' leveling kit bumpstops and i'm gonna be running 18x9 wheels with 33-12.50. does anyone out there think i'll have a problem with rubbing?

what year truck? i have heard you could run 33's on stock suspension 08+ but you would have to watch your offset of your aftermarket wheels and the lugs of your tires if you get a mud tire. but the 2" lvl is fine for running 33's from what i have heard.

the truck is an 05 4wd xe

it all depends on what the backspacing of the rims are

does anyone have an idea of a good backspace?

i have the ncd 2" on my 2wd xe 05, and im ordered the black rock rims with 4.50 backspacing and 285/70/17 hankook dynapro atm tires! i had the level kit for a while with that with of tire you will need a 4.75 or 4.50 back spacing i think! i would look it up or call like 4wheel parts!

I "tried" to put my NCD on yesterday... for someone that is not the most knowledgeable about "knuckles" and "lower control arm" and some other terminology I had to fumble my way through things. I got frustrated and put the wheel back on. Some of my bolts were "locked" and rather than kicking the sh** out of things I just decided to call it a night and calm down. going today to get some break free and some patients!..

PS.... all bumpstops are not "universal" I found that the ones I bought from my local auto store were 13mm and the factory one is 12mm. I tried putting the replacements on and it stuck...

yeah i just got the ones from ncd i mean i figured just get it all then and there or go to the store and search for the right ones kinda a waste of my time and my tire shops gonna install the kit when it gets here since i have to rotate my tires anyways just figured while they 're doing that they can throw it all together but hey guys im looking ultra wheels 18x9 with three options for a backspacing a 4.76 or a 5.47 or a 6.18

You just need to reem out the hole alittle with a drill and bit thats all..

FLBuckeyeGuy · 02-11-2010, 07:14 PM

yeah...I was getting ready to do that and when I went to grab my cordless I realized the battery was dead. Oh well...that's what saturday mornings are for =)

so if i can't get the bumpstops in you just have to drill the hole out a little

nice can youinstall the new bumpstops after everythings put back together

amsoiltitan05 · 02-14-2010, 01:12 PM

yeah the bumpstops made a big big difference, the stock ones are so flat compared to the cone bumpstops. My ncd kit only took me about 15 - 20 mins each side! but the bumpstops are a must! mine were only 10 bucks at pep boys.
