So i put my RC 2" level kit and Toyo 295/55/20's on this weekend. Install was simple, just like on my 2011. It definitely helps to have an extra set of hands when wedging that spacer in there. 295/

Thanks. Here is one more from yesterday. Considering we're getting 8-10 inches of rain the next two days, I won't be taking any better pics soon.

Mine is finally done! After months of research I went with the RC 2.5" level kit front only, stock rear block. 20"x9" Fuel Nutz w/ +1 offset, 33x12.50x20 Toyo M/T tires. No rubbing, No trimming, yet a

Does anyone know if the LTZ rims are the same size as the 5 spoke 20's i have on mine? (width, offset)

 

I have the RC 2.5 lift and want to do 305/55R20 terra grapplers on the stock rims. not worried about a little rub at full turn

Thanks, I'm going to go with the 275/60/20's (33's) It would be really close to hitting with the 275/65's. It might fit but I'm not willing to take the chance. I was looking through the pics if the guys running the same setup with the 33's looks good to me.

I have the 2.5" RC lift with 275/60R20 Cooper at/3, I measured before and after, the lift and tires gained me 3" lift in the front and 1.5"-2" in the back. Keep in mind that all tires in 275/65R20 size are LT tires. Many P tires are available in 275/60R20 size.

That's a heck of a difference in price, almost $100 per tire. I'm thinking I'll be just fine with the 275/60's.

Any rub? Did you do the 2.5" with the 1 inch lift block for the back or just the 2" up front?

Im going with the 2.25" readylift up front and nothing in the back. I have 275/65/r20 toyo at ii tires to go on. I am really hoping they will fit with no rubbing. I dont want to trim anything. It hard to get comparisons from here because lots of guys are using the rough country lift. Anyone else go the readylift route? I think they are a better made product.

My opinion on leveling kits is brand really doesn't matter. When you get into suspension its a whole other story. I've installed readylift on a different truck and it was just like the rest...

I agree KUUG but I was a little unimpressed to see the rough country 2" front level blocks were a composite material and not aluminum or other type of metal. It is on my truck and I haven't had any issues but piece of mind is worth a lot sometimes. I'd opt for the solid aluminum level blocks next time, but no name doesn't matter - just quality and material.

That was my first thoughts also. After I talked to a couple people that ran them for quite a while I decided to give them a try. Some of those ebay aluminum blocks are weaker than composites now a days; given those aren't usually name brand.

I am just running the Ready Lift levelling kit which gives a total of 2.25" of lift up front (1.5" from the top spacer and .75" from the bottom one). I have no lift in the rear, all stock. No rubbing at all with the 275-60-20". I'll post better pics once the roads dry up and I clean it.

How are you guys finding the ride quality, after putting the levelling kit on. Looking at getting the readylift at the end of the month.

Well guys here she is leveled and new skins. I haven't discovered anything rubbing and the ride is incredible over those crappy Goodyears that come from the factory. Leveling Kit was a $40 Ebay 2" level kit, Aluminum spacer. Also New Nitto Terra Grapplers, yes they are wide 305/60/18. The look is awesome compared to factory. Here are the images.

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      That should answer the maximum depth difference between the stock and the PPE so its not hugely lower. As to the PML pan, they don't make any claims that it fits the L8T with the same transmission and in fact leave their information confusing, however on the surface it says "for Duramax" and so its hard to say. I know a while back and not sure which brand it was that specifically stated that the extra capacity pan that particular company made did NOT fit the gas version.

      Installed Bilstein 5100's on my 2024 2500HD - Worth it - VIDEO + GIVEAWAY Inside

      By fondupot · Posted

      There are several versions of the 5100's. Some for stock height, some for leveled, some for lifted.    Side note. I finally had a chance to tow with my 30' gooseneck with about 10,000 lbs of material on it this past week. Hands down the 5100's made the trailer towing much more stable and comfortable. I even had 10 cmu blocks in the bed. What a difference over the stock shocks.

      According to PML, the stock pan is 4.3" deep - (PML info): Dimensions: at deepest area, PML pan is 7 inches, stock pan is 4.3 inches    PPE is 5.4" so roughly 1.1" deeper than stock

      I had not realized that PPE has come out with a version of a cast aluminum oil pan specific to being able to fit onto the 10L1000 with the L8T engine sometime this spring. I was doubting that anyone would come out with something beyond what Dorman had in more of a direct factory pan swap. I see from one comment that is on the PPE site that they found the pan to be tighter to install then the factory unit and having to flex the exhaust down to fit it. I didn't lookup any specs if they have any as per how much lower it hangs but as it holds more oil and has fins outside the pan it would no doubt hang a certain amount lower.    I looked back at the site and they do have some depth measurements to get a rough comparison to the factory pan total height or hang down if you will at the front and rear of the pan so that will give a good idea how much further down this pan would end up being for ground clearance issues.    2024-2026 GM 6.6L Gas 10L1000 Heavy-Duty Cast Transmission Pan – Pacific Performance Engineering

      I'm in constant amazement over the number of people that do oil maintenance by how they feel, what they were told, what materials cost, what brand A claims vs brand B.     Come to think of it, this behavior isn't exclusive to oil. 🤔 They drive this way too. 😬   There is a 20 plus page thread on BITOG on Mobil 1 Advanced Clean vs Valvoline Restore and Protect it would be amusing if it were not so........humanly pitiful.   Last Sunday we were are sitting at services and listening to a speaker talk about Jesus parable of the wide and narrow gates and he said something that hadn't dawned on me but totally fit the way people in general are about just about everything. He said there are so few people on the narrow path leading to a good reward not because the the narrow gate was hidden or hard to find but because the wide gate leading to a bad end it so darn easy and uncomplicated to follow!!!
