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.

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.

 

Zero rubbing.. I probably could have gone taller/wider with no problems (sorry for late reply).

I put the RC leveling kit on my Silverado last year and it is currently 1/4" higher in the rear. Thinking of putting a 2.25" block in back to replace the 1.25" block to give it an inch of rake. I don't mind a little rake, my leveling kit was more to get the front off the ground a bit.

VERY NICE! I have been debating getting those rims or going with aftermarket options. You may have just persuaded me on those rims. How do you like the Toyo MT? As far as road noise, grip, etc...

 

Also, any rubbing with your configuration?

Got my block kit in today and decided to go ahead and put it on. Took just over an hour to get it completed. Trucks looks great with a little rake back in. Took measurements of the ride height and got 38.25" in front and 39.50" in back. Used the Ready-Lift 2.25" blocks and U-bolts.

Thx...I was on the fence about the wheels at first but I'm very happy how it turned out. This is actually the kids truck. I was put in charge of the accessories. I've had the Toyo's before and really liked them. For an MT they are pretty quiet and perform well on/off road. I've got a rubicon and contemplated putting them on there but ended up going with Mud Grapplers. Once these wear out and I may go with the Toyo's. Just think the Toyo's "look" better on trucks than Jeeps.

 

I haven't noticed any rubbing but I honestly haven't tested reverse at full turn. There's no rubbing going forward. Good luck!

Pro-Comp 2.25 level. Michelin LTX M/S2 275/65r20. No rub. Smoother ride than the 55's. Haven't seen too much different in the mileage.

those really fill out the wheel well nicely. More than others of that size. Angle maybe? But looks good.

Got everything installed. 2.5" rough country up front and stock in the back. 305/55R20 Nitto trailgrapplers with 20x9 +14 offset Fuel Maverics. I too the front lower valence air dam thing off before rims and tires. I did not trim since I have not notice any bad rubbing yet. It barely rubs the sway bar when turning fast in reverse. There is not enough rubbing that would make me get smaller tires for my next set. I'll post some pics in a minute

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.

      In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them.

      I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By whenindoubtuseahammer · Posted

      Good evening. I was lucky enough to get passed down to me a 2007 GMC LBZ that was my great uncle's. While the underside and rockers are more or less gone I feel like with time I can restore it to working order since it only has 110,000 miles and he put nearly every option he could get without getting the new body style since he did not trust DEF. So far I have done everything I can think of but when I put the key into the ignition nothing happens. I put 2 brand new batteries in it. Cleaned the terminals. Check all the fuses and relays and they all pass with my multimeter. I know I'm missing something that I just cant think of. The only odd thing is the OBD2 port works which makes me think its not the mega fuse. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
