Thanks. I was looking at doing rc 2.5 level and zone 1.5. Total of 4. Not sure if these tires will make it. Wanted to run my stock 18s, but if a different offset is required to get away with the 295 70 18s, I will either go that route or try a smaller size.

 

You should have no problem with making that tire size fit with even just the level. I'm running 275/70R18 on the stock Z71 wheels with no issue on just a 2.5" level. There's tons of room left for a slightly wider tire. With a body lift, you could go much bigger than that even.

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.

Thanks. Today I was eyeballing some 325 60 18's. Someone posted some 315 50 20's and said there was still room left. So many decisions. But still have half life left on stockers, so I have some more time for research... and others to try out more combos.

I've been doing tons of research to decide which leveling kit to get. In the course of my research, I measured my wheel wells and it turns out my passenger rear sits roughly 3/4" higher than my driver's rear. Has anyone else noticed this? I initially thought it was because of the gas tank, but it measures the same whether the tank is empty or full.

 

Sorry if I'm hijacking this thread, but I didn't know where else to post it.

Most GM's do this, I think it has something to do with the arc or the roads. Most roads aren't flat and tend to sit lower at the gutter, so rain will wash away. But I could be wrong, I just seems to be the only logical explanation too me…

Sharp looking truck 20Sierra14!

 

How is the clearance on those tires with a 1.5" level? I put a 2" on mine and was looking at doing the 275-65-20's, but I've heard from some that it rubs and from others that it doesn't.

Mine is 37 3/16 in the front on both sides, however the right rear is 39 3/4 and the left rear is 40 1/4. I thought this was due to the fuel tank being on the left rear??

Yours sits higher on the right rear? Hmmmm interesting, thought I had it figured out. That means the dealer is full of ...........

 

Edit: I wonder if the measurement is the same from the ground to the frame.

I'm not super concerned about it. When I get some more time, I'll take some more measurements. I'm glad I'm not the only one.

Anyone heard of any ball joint issues on the newer figs like the 900s? They used to have problems with the levels causing premature wear on the ball joints up front.

Hey I just saw your truck posted on bks built trucks on Instagram and it looks bad ass. I've read this whole thread and I have a couple questions for you, or just anyone who can help. I've been in the process of ordering those same rims and tires for my 2014 white crew cab all terrain and I have the rough country 2.5" level installed on the front already. What is your offset on your rims and what are the tire specs, does it rub and did you have to trim. I want to try and fit some 305/55r20 trail graps on those rims maybe even a 20x10 with a negative 12 or 18 offset or whatever they offer in this rim but I haven't seen anyone do it with this same set up yet so I thought Id stop reading and waiting and just ask. Thanks for y'all's help

20x9 +20mm with 295/55/20. No rubbing. BKS did a great job on these. It's a really good looking setup.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By JimCost2014 · Posted

      If what you are doing works, keep doing it:   4LO (Four-Wheel Drive Low) should only be used in extreme low-speed, high-torque situations such as deep mud, heavy snow, steep rock crawling, or extreme inclines/declines, and you must follow the correct engagement procedure to avoid drivetrain damage. Intended Use Cases Deep mud or snow where traction is extremely poor and you need maximum torque to get unstuck Trucks Only+1. Rock crawling on steep, uneven terrain forum.fullsizechevy.com+1. Extreme inclines or declines where you need to control speed and maintain traction solutionsphere.blog. Heavy towing in low-traction conditions (e.g., deep sand, ice) carclubsusa.com.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By rdonarski · Posted

      Hi,   I work a steep boat landing that has patchy blacktop going down the hill and soft sand/gravel at the bottom. Due to low water levels, it's not always possible reach the blacktop. I've had to help several people get out this year already and with fall coming, I'm anticipating more. I always use 4L. There was a gentleman there today with a 2500 HD (actually 2 - him and his son both have them) and they were trying to get his son's wake boat out. This gentleman swears that you should use 4H in the soft gravel. Says he was a farmer and you always use higher gear when stuck. I was wonder what your thoughts on this are? If I'm wrong, it would be good to find out before things get busy.

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By Bill Lemmond · Posted

      Looking for feedback from users of roll up aluminum slat bed covers who have had it for more than 3 years. I prefer the aluminum slat style over supported vinyl covers due to security and the capacity to support a light load. The slight loss of bed opening when rolled up is not an issue. Presently have BAK Revolver the "industrial grade vinyl overlay" on mine is shrinking & coming loose at the rear and on both sides in addition to cracking at some of the folding joints. Truck lives outdoors in NC latitude. Can't justify the steep price to replace it with another one if that's the expected lifespan. Do you have a better alternative?

      BAK Revolver bed cover

      Thanks, your last sentence is the root of my problem, outdoors truck and southern latitude = UV overload. Looking at replacing with Rough Country powder coated aluminum slat roll up model.

      Tire fitment

      By JakeD · Posted

      I’m looking at putting a lift in my 2024 gmc sierra 1500 elevation trim, has anyone had any luck with fitting a bigger tire under the rear for a spare?? Was gonna go with a 4 inch zone lift Also what wheel and tire size setup are you all running? Wondering if I can get away with keeping around the stock size a 33 inch, and just get some new wheels to have enough back spacing then I can just keep my original spare tire I have under the truck now.
