Just ordered the Rc 2.5in level lift kit. Will I be able to fit 305/55/20 falken wild peaks on my stock 20's with little or no rubbing? Looking for people's experiences/advice with this set up or a similar one. I appreciate any feedback. Thanks!

I installed the zone 2” lift on my ‘14 and now have 305/65/18 on stock rims. I have rub at full lock in reverse on the liner and partial rub on the mud flap at close to full lock

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

I apologize that it took me so long, but these are definitely stamped steel right?  Are there any good magneride kits out there that don't widened the front stance?  That's my only issue with BDS.  I'm ready to get this thing up in the air!  Also, these are the wheels I'm planning on putting on, 22x10 with -18 offset.  I figured a black/chrome wheel  would look perfect on my black with lots of chrome Denali.  Thanks!

I don’t think there are any kits for magnaride that don’t widen stance. And yes those are stamped steel

Quick question for you guys, at a 6.5” lift and 35s on a Sierra 1500, what’s my total height going to be? I’m scouting car washes in my area. Lol

Just did the math. I’ll be just under 7’0”, as long as my ride height is the 74” it has listed. Haha looks like I’ll be taking a tape measure to it when all is said and done.

So took one of my rims off this weekend to measure and check backspacing and such.. found the flatest and straightest thing i had to lay across the rim lip, measured down to the flat surface that touches the disc brake surface and it measured right at 6" or little less.. , but def between 5.75" and 6"

 

The Zone 6.5" 4WD kit i order calls for the following if using 20"

Wheel Size: 20x9

Back Spacing: 5.75″

Max Tire Size: 35 x 12.50

 

If its truely 6" backspace, would my rims work for the lift and all i need is new tires?

My rims are 20x9, have 27mm offset and between 5.75" and 6" of backspacing.

Don’t forget you should also do 1.5” spacers in the rear to even track width

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Progress... sort of.   Intake is disassembled, spider is out, fuel lines removed. Used a torch on the stripped screw with the lower intake off, much easier when I've got the intake sitting on my workbench, I made it talk. Walked right out with a pair of vice grips once it was nice and toasty hot.   New parts are piling up on my service cart waiting to be installed. Distributor, temperature sensor, new gaskets, fuel line kit, themostat, water neck.   My new pickle is I don't want to spend $600 on a replacement spider. I'm not sure IT is bad. I'm probably splitting hairs. Or it's $300 to send mine away and another 3 weeks of the truck just sitting. I have half a mind to assemble everything with the old spider to see if I can get away with just replacing the fuel pressure regulator to be safe. The obvious issue was the gushing high pressure fuel line which will be replaced. Getting to the spider really isn't that hard, and now I know what I'm doing , swapping it would be a breeze should it absolutely need one. Stupid, or smart?   The part that gives me pause is replacing the distributor. Well, it's already out. And I didn't mark it, whoopsie! Engine was at TDC when I removed it, I know that, so upon correct reinstall the metal tip on the rotor should point to the TDC mark on the distributor because that's where it was pointing on the old distributor. Worst case I'm a tooth off and have to re-stab it.   But then, what? I assume the truck will start. It doesn't appear the timing can be set. Here's the problem: These distributors can't be rotated but a degree or two, by design. What I read is Cam ****** needs to be -2 to +2 degrees, ideally at 0 (and checked/set above 1000 rpm). There should be enough wiggle to get that properly set, but checking the reported value is another potential issue. My Actron 9185 scanner says it supports enhanced GM PIDs and Cam ****** is one of them but it's unclear that I'll be able to correctly see it over OBD 1.5. I can see why people end up junking these things with life left in them. They're an absolute nightmare with tweener-year diagnostics/electronics and unobtanium parts.   Fingers crossed it starts and idles nicely. There can be hope, right? I'ma buy a lottery ticket the same day just in case.   Next steps..DO IT. I have not installed an intake before so I've been reading and watching a lot. Some say NO RTV except on china walls, some say DO RTV on water ports but not fuel/air intake. 1/4 or 3/8 bead on China walls? I think my strategy will be, obviously, RTV china walls with overlap on the gasket corners. Chapstick-style RTV the water ports. Leave intake ports dry. The only set of intake gaskets I could find locally are Edelbrock performance gaskets (uh...for an asthmatic 190hp V6? LOL) so we'll see how they do.   #NoToolLeftBehind. It took an hour, but my recovery mission for my deep 10mm socket was successful. It had rolled down the bellhousing and wedged itself between what I think are the fuel lines? I couldn't see it at all, but with a junk antenna I had laying around, I blindly went poking/sweeping for it, heard it clink, raised the truck, and caught a sliver glimpse of chrome with a flashlight way up there in Narnia. I had pushed it farther along the lines holding it captive, but within access of severely improvised tools, poking and cursing at it to finally knock it free to where I could get a fingertip on it to bring it home.    Not much to see.
