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.

Yes, it rubs the sway bar on both sides at full lock, not terribly bad but deff enough to hear it. And I've only got about a 1/4" clearance at full lock between the tire and uca. After searching on here and other places for months I had myself talked into doing a 305/55/20 because everyone was saying they regret getting the 295 because it was way too small but u just backed out last minute and decided to play it safe. The sway bar thing doesn't bother me, that's to be expected but I just didn't want to be pulling my inner fenders out and stuff. Overall I love the look and couldn't be happier with the way it turned out.

GTVETTE, by leaving the stock block did that make it completely level? Not higher in the rear or front? It looks like it level. I like the look, any rubbing?

No problem brother, I know how you feel. I was getting frustrated in my searching because half the "info" I found says one thing and the other half would say the completely opposite lol. I know you have to be careful because every tire wheel and level are going to be marginally different even at the same specs as another company, but I found a handful of trucks that were running the EXACT same set up as I got down to the very last detail! And said absolutely NO RUB WHATSOEVER! I don't know man..maybe I just got a defective set of struts or something? :D

Exactly..... and again Thanks!!! From what I am seeing is with 2.5" lift, stock 20" Rims 275/65R20's or 275/60R20's seem to work with no rubbing issues.

My stock height z-71 has 275/60R20 Nitto Terra Grapplers on stock 20" wheels and I have not had any rubbing. I have a finger width clearance at full turn.

They had one at the dealer with the same setup so I tested it before I got the new tires. I got my tires at Discount Tire and they gave me credit ($100 each) for the factory tires.

Yes the front and back fenders are both at 40in, but I might install the rear 2in block when I get the chance. It does rub in reverse against the inner corner of the mud flap but Im thinking if I remove them the rubbing might stop.

I have seen a few trucks here that combine a RC 2" lift with a Zone 1.5" body lift. Are there any concerns I should look for if I go with this combination? What is the best tire size, offset, etc.

      Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      The thinking is that starting out in a higher gear makes it easier to avoid applying excessive torque when pressing the gas pedal. In a modern 4wd truck with 4 low and a limited slip or locking rear end, I would use 4 low and try to crawl up the ramp. Sometimes if they are too slippery, you have to back up to let the boat have some bouyancy, and then accelerate briskly to get some momentum to help you pull the through the slippery parts.

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.
