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.

Keep in mind it's not just rolling resistance to consider when fuel economy is a concern. Taller tires take more power to turn to accelerate the truck at the same rate. They also take more power to keep the truck moving thru the wind resistance at freeway speeds.

A bit off topic, but has anyone put on Bilstein 5100's on their truck yet? I have a 14 GMC AT, with the RC 2.5 and I ordered the 3" blocks for the rear. I pulled a trailer last week and didn't like the sag. I have the airbags I removed from my 12 F150 KR, just don't want to install them myself. It was bad enough taking them off. Plus I would like a bit more height. I'm 6'4", and installed my Amp steps and I keep forgetting they are there. My F150 had a 4" Rancho lift. Just thought I would ask I have been told they are not out yet.

So I ordered the ready lift 2.5 kit with the 3" block for the back. Just curious what's the max size I can go without rubbing and does anyone have pics of this setup?

Well the readylift 2.25 front level kit is installed, and a 3" block on the back...Like the rake plus I tow a boat, sled and quad so needed it for sag. Anywho looking at beefing up the tires a little. Looking at nitto terra grapplers or cooper zeon ltz. Looking at 305 50 20...Thinking they should work by size calculator but any experience would help if you would like to chime in!

You should be good to go with that size on stock wheels. I'm running a 295/40r24 which measures to a 33.3 with 2.5" level.

I received a lower arm spacer kit today. Machined aluminum spacers nicely made. The instructions didn't indicate how much each of the spacers lift the truck.

 

The kit came with 6 blocks total, 2 each of 1/2", 3/4" and 1 1/8" thickness. Question for those of you that have done this: Does the block lift the truck twice the thickness of the block (1/2" = 1", 3/4" = 1 1/2", etc.) ?

It is roughly a ratio of 1:2. 1" spacer will raise the front approx 2". I put on the 1/4" and the 1/2" (.75 total) and raised it 1.5 inches.

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
