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.

but this was going to Colorado at 75-85mph 4000ft sea level at that point uphill into a headwind.

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.

      287,500 Mile Service   8/13/2026   Reset Fuel Trims   Since the work done in the previous post there was a good improvement in response in all areas except right after a fill up where the LTFT would go -20%+ for about four miles while the STFT was near neutral. Before the work they both went very negative for a few miles after a fill up but act normal thereafter.    We did a systems check of the vapor recovery system for functionality and ability to hold a vacuum. That checked out fine. But this doesn't mean the charcoal canister is dead in the water. Testing that is next up. For now the reset of the fuel trims.    I intentionally shorted the fill exactly two gallons to eliminate any chance of filling the canister. On start up the trims were behaving normally until I got up and rolling where the LTFT went -10 / -11%% but the short was + 2 to 0%. Within a mile the the STFT offset the LTFT and by 2 miles they were neutral. HUGE improvement but still not hunky-dory.    I'll watch them for a few days. Perhaps another tank where I will fill completely to 'first click' and compare. Meanwhile on the hunt for a new canister and I'll toss another purge value at it for good measure. Pending the outcome of the canister test that is. Progress of any kind is welcome.    Fuel economy improvement with bringing hole #3 back to the living was a noticeable bump to the positive. Even on the few miles I drove after the refill I already see another bump up by the trims reset.     She's purring like a kitten with a warm bowl of milk.    BTW, adding 50 rpm to the idle took the majority of the negative timing out on cold start up and leaned the cold idle. No longer burbles in the cat. What a dumb way to heat a cat.

      Yeah, shame I can’t really get that filter easily anymore. Running a PureOne. Your fave!    TAN would be neat to see. Confirmation I ran it too long probably. 🤣

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By superdave160 · Posted

      My son and I both bought new trucks in 2017. Both of us immediately put Truck Covers USA American Roll Covers on our trucks. My son still has his truck and it never sees the inside of a garage. We live in Alabama, so not much snow. My truck was my daily driver and was in the garage when I wasn't driving it or at work. No issues with either cover even after almost 9 years. About a year ago I sold my truck to my brother and bought a 2025 Silverado 2500. The second thing that I put on that truck was a new Truck Covers USA cover. They are very well made and have a very positive locking system. I looked at a Retrax and my concern was the way that the cover locked to the rail. BTW, the first thing I put on the new truck was step bars. Those new trucks are high!

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By superdave160 · Posted

      The Allison 10 speed torque converter doesn't "lock up" like the previous transmissions. It has 4 operational modes; open, slip, transition from open to slip; transition from slip to open. I have an Edge CTS3 monitor and I monitor transmission torque converter slip. Step on the gas and you get a little slip. Take your foot off the gas and you get a little negative slip. I have not found a way to display the torque converter mode beyond that. My Edge CTS3 also displays something that our trucks should already display, the current gear. I also monitor throttle body position and engine load. If I see the engine load getting too high, I'll manually drop a gear.

      Nice result. Your filter is working well  I'd have like to have seen the acid number for this sample. Curious type that I am.
