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.

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      From where I'm sitting this sounds like a compatibility problem. I'm assuming the 2007 was a 900-series truck, and not an 800-series (they were sold side-by-side in dealerships that model year), since it starts and runs.   This is why I HATE post-2006 vehicles. Everything becomes a huge problem when you try to keep the thing running for longer than the manufacturer has designed it to.    I can't remember when Global-A architecture started - either '10 or '11. For your sake, you had better hope it's '11, or you're going to be spending some BIG money to correct this cluster-eff. That's something you need to find out before doing anything else. You may have several computers bricked ... but the fact that it runs tells me you MIGHT be ok here.     EDIT: Just did a quick refresher. You're screwed. This is Global-A. The 2 systems are NOT compatible in the slightest. Once you get the correct engine in there that IS compatible, you're going to need to see how many computers are locked. Absolute NIGHTMARE to straighten out, too. Your buddy might be better off cutting his losses and finding something else.   Welcome to post-2006 vehicle electronics. This is why I quit the industry, and drive nothing built after 1994. This stuff takes all the fun out of wrenching!

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      True, hard to say what differences there may or may not be between Chev and GM as well as a production year or mid year part change either.    I just found it odd that under the Sierra choice on the Autel that many of the last few years of production year did not include the choice of changing the tire pressure but if that is an Autel thing or a GM thing as to why the choices were not there. Knowing what tpms sensors are on the truck should give some guidance into which choices on the tool even make sense to try as I wouldn't give up just yet with the tool but I guess he will see what if anything he comes up with if he finds out a bit more info and tries a few more things on the Autel.

      Needing this part.

      By davester · Posted

      I'm sure if you went to a junkyard where you go in and pull the part off the truck yourself, not a used part place where they do it for you, you can get that part on it's own.  Depending on if and what else you would be buying, and time of day, they might even just skip over adding it as a item to the bill.
