I did the 2" level with an eBay kit for $37 made from aluminum. Worked out well. I am trying to figure out what wheels and tires would look best on this truck now.

It's a very popular size on here. Lots of people have it. Grab a cold one and peruse through this thread. Lots of good looking setups.

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

 

you wont fit a -12 or -18 offset with out major rubbing

I want to do a leveling kit on my 4x2 but I definitely don't want the "offroad" look...just a nice level stance (maybe a tad lower in the front). I personally hate the stock LS2 tires on my 20s, will the factory 275/55/20 look odd once the level kit is installed? I really don't want a wider tire, but a more aggressive tread pattern that still rides smooth would be great. I wish my truck came with the Wranglers, I think that's a good looking tire...just didn't know what you guys recommended brand and size wise.

I don't have 20's but my truck it levelled 2" up front with the stock 18's I think it looks ok. I mean I'm not rushing out to get new tires…

I had Cooper AT3's on my last truck and liked them a lot, they are not super aggressive, but were a lot more aggressive then stock. Plus they performed well off road…

I went with the Skyjacker 2 inch leveling kit since that is what the chevy dealer had as part of the closing deal on both of my 2014 Silverados. The trucks look so much better without the nose dive to me.

    • Can anyone explain why the oil pressure runs higher after the DFM is shut off?  just installed the Pulsar Lt.
    • Thanks!  I figured as such; GM and other manufacturers have used standard parts and harnesses across trim levels and such for decades.  I pulled the blank accessory cover off of my commuter van (a 2016 or so Chevy 15-passenger) years ago and found the plug for a USB outlet.  It wasn't connected to anything, though (I tried swapping in an outlet from another van).  I was a GM Tech years ago (late-90s) and was pretty familiar with my 2006.  I might be wrong, but I view newer vehicles (pretty much anything made in the past 20 years) as being a lot more plug and play.  Meaning, more unused wires and plugs unless you have the Mack Daddy of vehicles.    
    • not all plugs will be used.  gm uses more generic harnesses that support most/all options, and if your truck doesn't have a specfiic option, the plug won't be used (commonly will have a dummy insert in the plug , or it'll be taped up, but some may just be left as is).  But it's sldo possible some p.o. has installed the wrong/cheaper parts that aren't correct for your vehicle...
    • First off, I'm not trying to just get easy advice/fixes for the issues I've noticed so far.  I'll be combing through the site via searches and such, and if past experiences are any indication, should find what I need.  For the sake of conversation, though, I figured I'd post the handful of things I've noticed in the 12 hours since buying my 2010 SLE CCSB.     Indicator lights: Airbag and TPMS.  The tire pressures aren't reading for any of the wheels, so I'm pretty certain the sensors were either removed, are damaged, or are otherwise inoperable.  I used to mount and balance tires 25 years ago but am pretty much ignorant when it comes to TPMS.  My 2006 didn't have the sensors and this might be the fourth vehicle I've owned that does.     Radio: Rear speakers aren't working.  I removed the driver's side rear door panel and checked the speaker and wiring.  I also removed the sill and b-pillar covers to check the wiring.  A few minutes of Google Fu showed that this is potentially a head unit issue.    Switches: Power mirrors don't turn left/right.  I ordered replacement driver's door switches that should arrive tomorrow.  The windows and locks work but it was only about $20 for all of them.  The driver's side rear window switch lets the window down but won't put it back up.  I think the passenger rear doesn't work at all.  In the coming days/weeks, I'll break out my multimeter to check all of that.   Unknown wiring harness: There's a box attached to the front driver's side of the engine compartment, right where the second battery shelf is located.  There are three plugs, one of which looks like it fits a standard headlight-style bulb (9007 or similar).  It doesn't look like it's plugged into anything.  I'll do some digging and if I don't see anything elsewhere on the site, post some pictures here.   Unknown plugs on brake booster: There are at least two female plugs on the brake booster that aren't being used.  I think it might be a replacement/aftermarket, so maybe those are used for a different application, as there don't seem to be any unplugged harnesses and no indicator lights are on.   Little squeaks when turning: Sounds almost like a bushing around the bed of the truck.  I'll have to pay close attention as I get more familiar with the truck.   Clunk on acceleration: possibly the infamous drivetrain clunk.  My 2006 had it and I'm just not familiar enough with this truck yet to fully grasp what it is.   Anyway, my apologies for the vague and all over the place post.  This truck is new to me, and it's been four years since I drove my 2006.  With 200k miles, I know I'll need to learn this truck quickly to avoid having any major issues, despite being confident it's got much more life to it.  My 2006 had nearly 320k on it when I parked it (nearly 300k of which I put on the truck), and it was still drivable then, though I suspected the head gasket might have blown.  I'd hoped to have that truck back by now, but it's gone forever, as I detailed in my reintroduction thread.
