I finally did a RC level lift on my HC yesterday and had Toyo At Extreme 285-55-20 's put on. Rides great and no rubs. It took the HC from an old timers truck to a total aggressive stance. Took me a while to nerve up to do it. I don't know what the hell I was worried about. I love it.

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

Changed up my 2” moto fab front level to this.. 

4” BDS with Fox 2.5 coilovers. 4” block in rear with Fox Performance Series shocks. Fuel Trophy 18x9 5”bs, +1 offset. BFG Km3 295/70/18. Only have about 200 miles on the setup, but rides great so far. Minimal plastic trimming to front bumper valance and mud/rock guards. Tires still rub just a bit on felt liner when full turn in reverse. 0C5C7CD4-7AA8-4726-9CA7-ADB342BA54F2.thumb.jpeg.fb2255f64b473061535eb2c192cf3f0f.jpeg

OK read through about 20 or so of the 344 pages... here is what I want to do. Was planning on doing Bilstein 5100's and leveling out the front. Then I started thinking I want to lift it up a few inches. What do y'all think is the best way doing that?  Just getting 2" lift kit (spacers and blocks) with the shocks.. or a whole 3.5 kit?  I am keeping the factor 20" tires and don't want them sticking out. Might just go with the 5100's for better ride... Let me know your thoughts and suggestions.

 

Goals =  Level .... 1-4" lift

So here i am 4 years later and countless front end issues due to the bad angles with the Rough Country lift. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND NOT going with the 27820 3.5" lift by Rough Country. way too many issues. looking at the BDS 4" now.

Better now with the BDS 4" lift. Much smoother ride, clicking in my steering has gone away.. And i can turn again! 

Did up my tire size to BFG TA KO2s 305 70s

Also added 1/4" wheel spacers on the front.

There is a slight rub on the plastic guard under the front bumper ONLY when i back out of my angled drive with wheels turned. I think i am leaving it alone as it will let me know if over time i get any closer to the METAL part of the bumper. 

Thx!

Right on man. I was thinking it would rub on the inner back. Have you done a norcal? Could you fit a wider rim or larger tire if so?

Have not done a norcal, but i will look into that if something starts to droop. I would bet u could go slightly large if u did though.

If you have the Magnaride, I think Fabtech makes a 4" lift that is compatible.

      Replacing 2.7L on 2021 Silverado with 2023 2.7L

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      But Grumpy I did show several subdivisions that had homes starting in the 170K range. If you bought a Townhouse or Condo you could go cheaper. Same with a car 3000 dollars in the 70s translates to around 20K today. There are several models at that price. You actually get more for the money. In the 70s I drove a 3000$ car bought a 28K home and made 4.50 per hour. Thank goodness for overtime. Today I could buy a 170K house drive a 20K car and make 25 dollars an hour operating the same machine today. The difference the house, car, machine would be better and have AC. And I wouldn’t be taxed on overtime. And statistically your wife works too. Easing the burden. I thought we agreed to disagree. I brought receipts earlier, showing examples. I think you’re more stubborn than me. I was done with this debate.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.
