Hey guys, have been lurking the past few weeks. I think I literally read through most 99 pages of this thread in the past 2 weeks but was "unsure" if I was getting a truck or not so didnt pay close enough attention.

Well saturday I picked up a new 2015 chevy 1500 dbl cab... had to get rid of my jeep and get back into a lifted truck.

 

Need to lift asap. Looking for 6".. questions for that.

Looking to be in the rough country price range.. I want to do 6"...

Comparing rough country 6" to zone 6.5" and the pro comp 6" what are some + and - for PC vs RC vs zone? Is the zone really 6.5 high? 6 is high enough i dont want that extra .5 if i dont need it lol... is there good justification to spend a few hundred more for PC vs RC? Is there another in that price range that I'm forgetting to consider?

 

Also, assuming I end up with the Rough Country, I'm planning on running 35x12.5x20 terra grappler g2's... the wheels I'm looking at are +18 offset. Should that be ok? Any pics of a 6" rough country lift with +18 offset? How much will they stick out with that lift? I saw mentions of front/back being uneven, will I need spacers or was that with an older style lift from RC?

 

Sorry for some many questions but trying to sort this out and very ancy to start ordering stuff. Thank you in advance!!!

Did the BDS 6" with Fox shocks. 22x12 Sprockets on 33" Toyo MT's. Rides like stock, no rub no trimming.

Crappy pic, but this was right after it pulled out of the garage last night. 4.5 zone with fox in the rear, 35x12.50r20 nitto ridge grapplers on stock elevation rims. Ride seems better then stock, i

That looks great? How are your angles and do you have a straight side shot to see how it sits? I drop mine off Wednesday to have the 6.5" Zone installed.

 

I'm keeping the stock GMC 18s but opted to go with a 295/70 Cooper STT which is just over a 34. Have you had any rubbing issues? Those chrome stockers look incredible. I'm a sucker for the stock/lifted look.

Went to dealership today to have them verify the torque on everything and snapped this side shot. The truck was the talk of the dealership every employee and most of the customers wanted to get a look. Liked it so much that they didn't charge me. Hot damn.

Would these fit my truck without rubbing?

20x9 Black Fuel Maverick 6x135 & 6x5.5 +20 Wheels Terra Grappler 285/50R20​

I have RC 2.5 front and 1" block rear.

yes. I had 305 50 20 with 20x9 and 0 offset when I first got my truck and only had 2" kit at that time and no rub at all so u will be fine

most popular size with rc2.5 is 20x9 with 0 offset or +1 and 295 55 20. Local 4wd shop here does that set up all day and trucks look good with that set up

Kinda wondered what mine would look like with black wheels. I wonder if it would be possible to paint the bright areas of those rims with a color matched paint and how it would look as opposed to black and polished.

With money anything is possible.

I had the same experience with my black 2012 Denali the first time I took it to the GMC dealership. Had every damn sales person out there asking about it. Got to love good looking trucks!

285/50/20 is smaller than the stock 275/55/20. So yeah, they're going to fit and look really small.

What kind of flares are those. I love how the are molded into the front instead of just ending like other styles. Sweet looking truck.

      Lower trims ( WT, Custom, Silverado ( aka LT )

      By newdude · Posted

      HD at the moment, are kinda their own deal.  How LTZ sells on those vs on 1500, there is a difference.   They are merging most of the mid trims on 1500.  LT, RST and LTZ are replaced by one trim, Silverado.  LT and RST are a BIG portion of sales.    Bad naming choice aside, the new Silverado trim will offer the spread of options that those three trims offered.  So expect to see things like the tech package for example, and memory seats.  And LT Trail Boss will now just be "Trail Boss" (formerly LT Trail Boss) but will offer content spread like the new Silverado trim will.  The press photos showed the Trail Boss (formerly LT Trail Boss) has access to Super Cruise now, which on the current truck was High Country only.       Here is the Trail Boss interior.  Memory seats and Super Cruise are present.  All things the LT Trail Boss it replaces, and the RST it was based on didn't get on the current gen.  You had to go to LTZ or ZR2 for memory seats, and High Country for Super Cruise.

      2021 vs 2026 handling (1500 X31 Sierra)

      By dennismc · Posted

      I installed a Hellwig rear sway bar on my 21 Sierra SLT, it made a huge difference on how the truck handles, no body roll, the trucks much more planted now. Not sure of the suspension differences between the 21 and 26,  if its body roll your having a sway bar will solve it.

      frustrating P0446 code

      By Old Bay · Posted

      So a follow up and my fix. I found in online searches the live data to look at on a scan tool to verify the fuel tank pressure sensor was working.  It showed an spec number towards the lower end of the rang, but in spec.  Then while it was running opened the gas cap and the pressure should change.  It didn't change even a tiny bit.  The data for the purge valve said it was open...never changed. So then I measured the voltages on the plug for the fuel pressure sensor and they matched what it should be.  So local car quest parts had the sensor in stock...it was a bit of a pain to remove and an even bigger one to get it to actually go back in.  It helped to unbolt the driveshaft and bungie cord away from the gas tank to give a bit more room to work. So fuel tank pressure sensor in I cleared the code, and started it up.  I went to the scan tool's live data and... Eureka! The pressure number was different and fluctuated a bit.  So took it on a short drive and pressure number varied saw the purge valve go from closed to open and back to closed.  Drove it to and from work for roughly a week plugged in the scan tool no codes.  I took it in to get tested and passed.  In my state's infinite wisdom (oops meant greed), since I pushed the test with the maximum extensions I have to take it back in by Feb '27 to 'get it back up to date', then my next test won't be until Feb '29.

      loose lug nuts

      By newdude · Posted

      Any grease on the stud threads of any kind?   Wheel studs should have NOTHING on them for proper torquing and so the nuts don't back off.     Are all of the mating surfaces clean?  So wheel, rotor and hub?     We've had plenty of trucks at work with that wheel, this is a first to me.  Makes me think they've got a lube tech putting anti-seize on all the wheel studs or some kind of grease, and they need to stop doing that.  To have 11 other trucks with the same exact problem.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By Flynlow · Posted

      I was a Chevy guy for years, then switched to GMC because I liked the looks better.  I'm actually thinking I like the Chevy looks better than GMC for the first time in a lot of years.   One thing I know for certain, the new GMC dash is hideous!  Chevy wins this one!
