They stick out right at 2' right now. They should be real close after I install the flares.

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

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.

 

I like this, but I don't see how that can not rub something during a turn. Hell, I was going to go 20x9 with a -12 offset with 295s and it was going to rub.

it will be off if you didn't have the ECM updated for your tire size. I lost 2mpg that's it.

any rubbing issues. Looking at same setup with 275/70/18 x 9 0 offset

 

No rubbing issues at all, I put the tires on before I leveled it and still didn't have any issues.

It had to be trimmed just a little. I did not think they were going to be able to make it work either but I am completely happy with it.

Your truck looks great! How much trimming did you have to do and where? Very curious I am going to order my wheels and tires today and if I can go with a 20x10 I will!

About two 2" right now. It is at my painter's getting the flares put on so it should be close to flush when he is done.

at the front of the front wheel well you should be able to just move the inner wheel felt looking stuff forward without much problems. In the rear you have to trim some at the bottom of the fender where the black plastic cover is. it is hard to explain because I did not do it I just seen it after the fact. If you look at mine now you can not tell it has been trimmed at all. Sorry I know this does not help much but it is all I know. It is little enough that just looking at it you can not tell it has been trimmed.

Ok great! If it is not much trimming then it is worth it to me to do the wider wheels. I love the look of the wider "tough" stance. Thanks!

I went to the dealership a little while ago to see about having my seat movement fixed and saw this on the lot and thought i would post it up.

2" level (skyjacker I believe) on rockstar2 wheels wrapped in nitto 295-55-20 trail grapplers.

I think the parts guy said they were +18 offset

I don't doubt that, but it's just a lot more of a swing from different driving conditions was my point.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By KARNUT · Posted

      Looking up on the web you can the information that would seem obvious. You asked engine components to do more. You get more wear. The answer is they can last just as long but required more maintenance. Apparently having to change lifters, cam and associated components are maintenance or repairs. In some research the normal life span of valve train components are 80-100 miles with 3-5K miles oil change. So the next logical conclusion would be cost per mile. I use that analogy with my wife all the time with vehicles. My Odyssey is approaching 170K. The cost per mile will go up at 200K with maintenance. Looking at a low cost car. A K-4 with a 10-10 warranty. Selling my Ridgeline that’s about to hit the same maintenance milestone. My argument becomes not only I get worry free driving. But at no cost increases. Because I take the money from my Ridgeline and maintenance savings and other potential savings. I’m driving for free. So tying it with a bow. It makes you wonder. Is this a grand conspiracy by the auto makers? Raise the potential maintenance high enough. Buyers by extended warranty to 100K miles. Do the minimum maintenance required. Trade in at the warranty end. How long should they last? That question is what keeps people up at night. The answer is much more complicated than it used to be.

      Could you cite your source on this?  I cannot find any reference to the US secretly taking the oil.  I find references that the US helped oil tankers move through the Strait of Hormuz, but nothing about what you're stating.

      Gas Prices

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      Since the media YOU and your buddies are programmed to watch failed to mention this, I'll fill you in.   Trump admitted today that we've grabbed 150 MILLION barrels of oil from the Iranian tankers locked in the Strait by our Navy. We turned off their transponders, took them out to sea in the dark of night since they have zero radar capabilities anymore, offloaded every drop onto another vessel, and put them back by morning so no one was the wiser. That oil has been en-route THROUGHOUT the entire conflict.   Main reason he admitted this is to let even guys on our own side who joined leftists in complaining about the prices that he hears us all, and has taken steps to make sure this didn't spiral into a BAD situation ... just like the mainstream media has been PRAYING would happen, just so they could gloat. Amazes me how these people are rooting for the destruction of THEIR OWN HOME, just to make a President they don't agree with or like look bad! That's next level TDS!   I know your not capable of giving our President the benefit of the doubt, again due to your deep programming, but THIS is why oil never hit $150 a barrel as predicted by your programmers, AND the reason oil continues falling. Like I said before, Trump's got a plan, and this is proof of it. By the end of his term, we're going to be in GREAT shape for a change!   Since I just spent $3,000 this week on #2 heating oil and gasoline, the war most certainly is ending! 🤣   https://mxmnews.com/article/ba359ac9-2711-4851-92de-187f2400f2dd?breaking-trump-cancels-iran-strikes-deal-now-approved-by-all-parties

      A/C failure cause???

      By Somethingclever_2014GM · Posted

      No leaks. Replaced the condenser 3 years ago. Problem was found to be caused by the A/C blend door actuator. Just replaced it and it's blowing out the cold air it used to when I bought it.
