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.

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

    • I have a 2000 Silverado 1500 LS, whenever I put it into reverse and also in drive it clunks, the truck also feels sluggish when driving. Any advice/ideas ?
    • Looks like it's riveted to me. What is wrong with that 1? Welcome to the Forum!
    • Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.
