Im still up in the air on weather to do 275/60/20 or a 275/65/20.... I am going to do the RC 2.5 kit with 2 inch block in rear, is everyone having a little bit of rubbing with the 275/65/20 ?? Right now leaning towards the goodyear wrangler duratracs

 

I don't have that size but from what I read on here I think you will just have slight rubbing. Are you sticking with stock wheels?

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.

I just put Coopers ATP 275/60/20 on the stock truck/rim and they don't rub, but depending on the tire manufacture their 60 may be higher. I'm going to put the 2" RC lift in my truck to level it some.

ok, I'm sure this has already been talked about somewhere in this thread, but how does the RC 2.5" kit affect ride quality? I'm really enjoying the smooth ride of my new truck right now and I know the bigger leveling kits usually firm up the ride quite a bit.

Good to know. My last 2 trucks have been leveled out and I've always ran 10 ply KM2's. I think I may got with all terrains this time.

Fabtech 2" level. I'm not trying to get wild with my truck, it's a dd that is almost all highway some city. I do plan on taking it camping and fishing so I do plan on changing the tires. Probably go a smidge bigger with a more terrain oriented tread.

I have that setup and still rides pretty smooth imo. Can notice it on bumps/ potholes though

Just curious.

I'm reading these posts about leveling out the front end, but some are using a block in the rear as well.

 

Is that just for a little bit of rake?

I have a 2014 with the rough country 2.5 with 2 inch blocks, it says that it is a leveling lift kit. The level is the 2 inch kit for the front. it looks level now but it looked perfectly level with just the front done, to much so. I knew that it would sag if I just kept the 2.5 front level lift kit on it when I loaded it down with anything. Now with the blocks it sits levelish with the rear a little higher just in case so it doesnt sag so much.

Keep in mind the driveway is not level at all and the rear is way down because of it.

ill be using the stock 20inch chrome wheels

When I bought my truck they had installed my RC 2.5 and put Toyo AT's 275 /65/20 (wrong ones though) and I never noticed any rubbing. But, I didn't like how narrow they are. Then went to 305/55/20 Nitro Trail Grabbler, and those sucked something terrible! Took the back, and had them install 285/65/20 BFG which I'm not a fan of but better than the Nittos. They barley rub on hard turns. I know have decided to take a step back and go with a new aftermarket 18" wheel and Toyo MT 295/70/18.

 

I hope they don't rub.

 

Hope that helps...

Got my Rough Country 2.5" level kit installed with 20x10 (-19 Offset) monster rims with 295 55 R20 nitto trail grappler tires. :D Rides different but not bad. I did not drive it far enough yet to see how the mileage is effected, but it seemed to still be dropping into V4 mode fine and the instant mileage looked to be only slightly lower. I will have flares added to it by this weekend I hope. I think it is coming along. So far I am completely happy with this :chevy: truck.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I find it amusing the OP doesn’t realize this threads heading includes several engines. He should have posted in the off topic section if he wanted a more narrow focus. I really appreciate and find amusing that he actually pointed out one of my many vehicles. The Odyssey. That happens to use 0-20 oil. I love pushing his buttons.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      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.
