onstar, I'm not worried about the radio antenna. I just measured my garage it's 80" to the weather stripping.

What size lift and tires do u have

6" running 35 12.50 nitto trial grapplers. Just the right size for putting a baby in and out. Don't plan on doing much else to it besides take it to a performance shop to get better the 12 mpg out of it. Here's another I took today.

The onstar antenna does NOT hit. At 80" you could easily run a 7" lift on 35s.... On a 1500

How come i dont hear much on the RC 5in? Is it flawed?

 

Pretty sure the RC 5" is a solid lift and was very popular on the previous style. The one big omprovement I like is that they went to control arm relocation brackets rather than new longer knuckles, which keeps your stock track width. I hated that my old RC 6" lift moved the front tires out wider than the rears.

 

later down the road I will probably buy it or the zone 4.5. I just cant bring myself to do all the hacking it requires just yet on a brand new truck I paid 40k for haha.

I'm not sure if this is the right thread to ask this, I have a 2014 Silverado 1500 Z71 4x4, I just bought some 295/70/18 Nitto Trail Grapplers and the wheels I bought are 18x9 with a +25 offset and 6" backspacing, I'm having the rough country 5" lift installed next week, does anyone know if these tire/wheel combinations will fit without rubbing, and what would the stance look like?

 

Thanks!

Is your truck leveled already? Do you have the wheels and tires yet? Is there a way to test fit a front on there before the lift? Curious how much room is actually needed for those. I guess it won't matter much if you don't have a level as I know there is no way on a stock height. Thanks.

It's a zone lift. The shop that installed it on there fb pic said 6" but I'm not sure if it is a 6.5". Wasn't sure if zone offered a 6" I mean a half inch isn't much.

    • I have never seen GM instructions for the other trucks as per the HD with the 6 speed or the half tons but had got the impression that the HD trucks with the 6 speed were not having the same problem that the 10 speed and pan presented. Also video that I have seen of the HD 10 speed with the gas engine starting in 2024 model year showed that it was a real struggle to even make it work when pulling down hard on the exhaust after undoing the exhaust hanger bracket on the side of the transmission as after all there is little room for the pipe to even go down behind the Y joint as it soon would hit a frame cross member. Also that they had tried just like I did with the gasket off and no way was that pan coming out any way they tried to manipulate the pan. From that as well as the local transmission shop talking about the pain in the rear issue, I was not expecting my pan to come out because GM shows it was not even intended to come out without dealing with the exhaust piping.    It would be nice to claim, here's what you do and its easy to remove the pan guaranteed on any HD truck with the gas 10 speed but dollars to donuts the next guy trying what I did would not have the same luck as the exhaust was just manufactured slightly different and be pissed off at my claim that the pan comes out with no issue. Its more of a try and see if your particular truck might work like mine did .... or not !. 
    • Sorry I didn't see this until now, but it works on both the 6 speed and 10 speeds, as well as all the half tons too.
    • Hello, I have a 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 that I recently changed both motor mounts on due to the driver's side being blown out. After replacement I seem to have a steady vibration that I can feel in the pedals and the back of the seat. At this point I'm convinced that the aftermarket "Anchor" branded mounts I used are not performing as well as OE, the only real reason I ended up using the mounts in question was because my local dealers were out a few months to get a Driver's side mount. I've tried "Neutralizing" the mounts according to the motor mount TSB published for these truck to no avail. My trans mount is also in great shape and seems to be absorbing vibrations swimmingly. As far as I can tell there is no issues idling, my idle RPM is steady and I've recently put GM plugs and wires on, however, I have not cleaned the throttle body or intake valves. Any one else have a similar experience with aftermarket mounts? Patience certainly is a virtue that I wish I exercised here. Thank you!
    • I still saw people out for runs, on their bikes/motorcylces, jeeps with the doors off driving around here the past 2 days. I guess we are just used to it here haha.   Tasted like a bonfire the last 2 days.
    • The TCM has to be flashed before it can drive.   If you installed it the way it is, it has the OS (operating system/program) from the 2010 truck you got it from. That will not match with the VIN/OS pair that your 2013 truck has.   You can do the full install. Then tow it to a dealership and they can flash the trucks PCM/TCM with the latest program for your VIN.
