I have a 2015 silverado and have a RC 2.5" level kit, running a 305/55/R20 on factory wheels. Wanting to put a 1.5" body lift on top of that, to make a total of 4" of lift. With factory wheels, can I run a 35x12.5 tire?

I received everything I have been waiting for! 6.5" Zone Lift, Fuel Mavericks and Toyo Open Country AT II's. It gets installed on Monday! I also ordered the add a leaf from Zone, is it necessary? I have a 200lb ARE truck cap/topper being installed next week. I just want to make sure the truck sits level. Would you guys install it? Is it necessary?

New to the Forum, but here's my 2014 Sierra All Terrain Z71, 13" total of lift, 10" Suspension and 3" Body on 38x13.5x20 stock rims.

Mods so far: Volant Cold Air Intake, Throttle body spacer, BullyDog programmer, and for exhaust I cut the 3rd cat and factory muffler out and installed a Flowmaster 44 series muffler in the factory location with a 90* turn down right out the back of the muffler.

Still have the stock 3.08 gears but with taxes I'm installing 4.10s F&R.

 

I still tow my 29' toy hauler with 2 RZRs in it.

 

All RC Suspension Lift and Powder Coated Blue.

 

Let me know what y'all think.

 

Thanks Zack

Looking Good!!! I currently have a 6" BDS lift & been thinking of adding a 3" body kift to my AT. Can you post some pics of the bed gaps and most importantly the hitch. Again, good lookin truck

You should be able to, I ran 35x12.5x20 on just a leveling kit and had no rubbing and didn't trim anything

What kind of tires did you have? Because my current tires, 305/55R20, rub the sway bar a full lock right now

Truck looks great! Just a friendly FYI you may want to remove the throttle body spacer as they add no benefit on modern engines.

The driveway is slanted. When it stops raining here (sometime in May), I'll take some better pics. I'm not adding a leaf...completely happy with the stance and I barely fit in the 7' parking garage at work now. I'm running 35x1250R-20/10 Open Country R/T's on 20x9 (6" backspacing) Predator II's. I was hearing some popping in the front end the last couple of days...took it back to the shop to have everything re-torqued and all is good now. The turning radius is the only downside, but worth it in my opinion. Once you have a truck, you want a lift. Once you have a lift, you want a bigger lift. :)

    • You could try a used 1, they used that engine in the Astro vans, Plenty of them in the boneyard. Look for a wrecked or rotted 1 so the chance that it was scrapped for that reason and not a mechanical issue will be greater
    • Google converting 98 4.3 spider injection to carburetor if all else fails. 
    • That computer lies!
    • My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.  
    • The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.
