ive asked before about the RC 3.5 inch 2wd kit. Guessing not many are running it on here because I never really for a response to it. So is anyone running the 4 inch fabtech? Some reviews say not to use it because it's just an oversized leveling kit. It's going on a 2wd so what problems would anyone see running it?

On a 2wd it should be fine. It's a glorified level kit and not really a full suspension drop is why most turn away from it.

thanks. I think I may go with it. Was thinking the RC 3.5 or the fabtech. With no cv angles to worry about I figured it would be ok.

Check out page 2 of the "show of your leveled" thread which is right next to this one. One of the members posted a pic of their Denali with 4" fabtech.

I think this look (2.5/1 on 22x12/33) but 22x10 billets 33 on the 4"

Thanks for the responses guys. Kinda going back and forth as to what to do. It's my wife's so in the end it's doesn't matter as I won't be driving it but I want it to look as good as it can being a 2wd. She's pretty rough on wheels so lifted vs lowered on big wheels is a no brainer.

My next Denali will be these body styles on a 4" kit with 33x12.50/22x10. Still meat around rim to avoid most curbs and be a better daily then my current 7" lift.

I'm actually wanting to run an 18 inch wheel with a 275/70/18. It's a skinny 33 but I want some meat around the wheels because my wife is a curb checker for sure lol

I have 18 wheels if you want to trade :). I think mine are the 265 though that come stock, but the wheels are nice set of RTX Canyon Glossy Black and I also have the original OEM wheels that came on it.

3.5 inch RC, 20x9 Fuel Neutrons, 275/60/20 Nitto G2s. I think it came out pretty good. I'm not home so I can't get actual lift measurements. I think it looks good.

Definitely does. I'm not home to actually see how much but I've already sent an email to RC asking what size spacer is used in the rear so I can order a smaller one to completely level out

Yeah once I see it in person I'll determine wheather it's worth changing out the rear spacer.
