I guess both, more so tall just to fill in the wheel well as much as I can but don't want the wheel sticking out the size much past the stock.

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

Would 11.00/R20s be too big?

Stock size is 31.91x10.83 so 11" wide would barely change anything

I installed my 2" RC level kit yesterday, it took me and a helper about 1.5 hours.

 

I removed the wheels (and the lower strut bolts of course) and loosened the sway bar bolts only leaving about 2 threads holding it on. Those the only bolts I touched, I didn't loosen anything else. Managed to get the blocks in place by prying, tapping with a plastic hammer, and using a tapered punch to get all three holes lined up.

 

My front wheel well height was 36 1/2" before, and now it is 38 5/8". Front is now 1/8" lower than the rear, so it worked out well.

 

Getting some 33" tires put on later this week!

My truck measures 38 1/2" at the rear and right at 38" in the front after the RC 2" level. Pretty happy with it so far. Thought of putting a 2" block in the rear to give it a little rake back.

The rear is only 38 3/4" ? The rear on my Z71 before tires is 39 1/2". It is 40" now with the 33s.

Yep, I have a dual liner in the bed, and a low profile aluminum tool box, and inside the box is probably close to 100 pounds of tools/stuff. (And a full tank of gas when I measured! lol)

 

So there is some added weight that is probably dropping my rear end a bit. It does seem like every truck sits at a different height though.

Here's my install from today.. I went w/ the 1.5in leveling kit from McGaughy's.. Overall decent parts, but you'll need new bolts!! The factory nuts will NOT work and will only go on a few threads.. Luckily, I had extra bolts from years ago in the tool box that work prefect!

 

Its 39inches in the front and 40inches in the back. Really dig the new stance! Bigger tires are up next!

Looking for the ready lift kit that gives 2.5 in the front and like a 1-2 inch block in the back? Just to recover some rake.

Edit: found it if anyone else was interested part 66-3002 and 66-3085

(Anyone have pics with this setup(

With a 2" level and 265 60 20's (basically 33s), should I have the computer reset to compensate for tire size??

GM will not recal the computer for larger than stock. You will have to get a custom tune or god forbid a programmer to do that

      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.
