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

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.

Are the tires on yet? I am on the fence between the 275/65/20 and 295/60/20 .. same height but a little wider with the 295s. TIA

here is my truck without rear blocks.

 

So you did a front level? If so, what kit did you use? Edited by PMD G8

Update...I ended up going with the 275/60/20 tires. I am fortunate that i buy alot of big truck tires and so my tires shop originally put on the 275/65/20's and they rubbed with the readylift 2.25" kit. I did not want to modify wheel wells or fenders and if it rubs now, any kind of off road situation will rub worse. So we took off the 65's and went with the 60's. No rub. I am very happy with the looks and the outcome. I choose not to do any different blocks in the back until i hook up my new trailer and see how much it sags this max tow pacakge. If it lowers the rear too much i think that i will go the firestone air bag route.

I do not want to cut wheel wells either.. the route you went with is looking like the safer bet. Can you post some pictures of your setup with the 275/60/20s? TIA

Daystar 2" level. Michelin 275/60r20 AT2. 39.5" in front and 40" in rear to wheel well. The dealer installed the kit. The guy who installed it recommended this size tire to avoid rubbing in all situations. I've had no issues in 400 miles.

Looks great RS0802 .. Seems like you can even get away with a 1.5" level and still be safe. Great looking setup!!

Hows the ride with that Daystar lift? Looks like they only make a 2" front and a 2" front & rear kit

Good looking setup either way

Yep had to adjust the lights on my sierra, got a lot of high beam flashes in the dark... It was blinding drivers in front of me as well, even truck drivers.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Maybe, but it seems he is the only one that has backed up data to prove what he is stating. I think he is doing this more because he enjoys it and wants to get the information out to us. He's got the knowledge and access to the proper equipment and having the funds doesn't hurt.  I would love to do what he is doing and would do it if and when I hit the Powerball.  I'm not a Tribologist by any means but love to learn what I can.   I would bet there would be doubting people out there if a completely independent lab with high quality work and highly respected in the automotive industry, put out information like this.  The world can't be pleased, one just has to take the information that they are given, do more of their own research to find actual lab data to back up what they are trying to figure/find out.  Most don't bother, they just want to believe what they first see.     I don't have the minimax but my 6.2 in my 2019 Silverado with 64k miles shows excellent UOA results with 0w-20 and for my own purposes 5w-20.  Since not much of a change using 5w. I liked the data sheet information on the SS 5w-20 and figured I would give it a try.  Still the same viscosity at 100℃.   In the end we all just do what makes us happy, life is too short to get upset over trivial social media.   On a side note, I do feel GM has dropped the ball and just cares about the bottom dollar and not quality anymore.  "Like a Rock" has been long gone.  Seems "Built Ford Tough" has as well.

      2026 sierra bad brake controller

      By flattop · Posted

      Hello, my 3 month old Sierra Elevation wont recognize a trailer with electric brakes? All the lights work correctly, but no power to the brakes?   This is the factory installed brake controller. If you manually push the knob, the display shows the power % but does not light up like my 2022 silverado.   I have an appointment with the dealer, but was checking to see if anyone else has seen this issue.    Thanks,

      Post your latest oil change.

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Been using SS 0w-20 from new, but wanted to change to the 5w-20 because I liked the data on the data sheet, to me it seems like a little better product. But as you can see, not much difference. This is also with running a mix of 10 gallons E85 to a tank topped with 93. It isn't a flex fuel vehicle so any higher I get a CEL for running lean on both banks. Yes my mileage takes a hit. Instead of 20 mpg I normally get on trips I get 17mpg. This is also using EaO17 filter.  What is amazing is I have the AMSOIL cone filter on it since I have the GM Performance intake installed and that air filter has 44k miles on it.  I just take it out and shop vac it off once a year.  I use the upholstery tool on my shop vac.  Works well.

      Starting a new thread regarding mounting my 2014 OEM wheels to my 2026

      By revmanii · Posted

      So, lot's of googling and reading, and a trial fit found, that indeed they hit the newer fatter caliper. I did some re-testing today, and found just 3/16" worth of washers was enough for the wheel to spin freely. I added 2 more on each, and again it spun freely. Tested lock to lock with the 4 washers, about 5/16" not quite the 3/8" Im considering, but pretty close. No issues. I've been looking at the BORA .375" spacers and using extended lugnuts to get back lost thread due to the spacer. All the ET lugs I've seen are all .33" reach inside the wheel lug holes. For those that don't like spacers or think they're unsafe, I think it depends on what type of spacers you're using and making sure you get good quality hubcentric ones, and if you're using bolt on ones, regular mainenance, checking the spacer lugs. Not wanting or needing that much spread. Looking for the minimum that will let me run these rims and tires.  it does look to stick out a little, but I really want put these on. and use the stock all-terrains in the winter.
