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.

I own FastHeadlights LLC and we do work on headlights all the time. I just took the orange out and replaced with some switchback turn signals :)

 

 

Can we get some more pics of the front of your truck?

What did you tint your tail lights with? how many coats? Any chance you take a pic with the tail lights on and not the breaks? I am ready tint mine. I have a white truck and dont want them super dark and would like to keep the tail and brake lights as bright as possible but just take the red out when they are off if that makes sense.

Finally got all the mods on (for now). I did the rough country 3.75 inch combo kit (2.5 inch leveling kit with the 1.25 inch body lift). Also went with Mickey Thompson Baja ATZ 275/65/20 on the stock rims. Absolutely love how it turned out.

Added the. 5" wheel spacers. Bumped them out just enough to make me happy.

 

What .5" spacers did you use? I need roughly this amount to satisfy me, but I've been unable to find bolton spacers in the .5" size and I was under the impression a .5" slide-on spacer wouldn't leave enough threads on the studs???

Here is a picture of the tire the only one that was not too big I guess. Dumb. 295 70r18 factory rims.

 

 

Looks good, and it looks as if there is a good deal of room. Congrats. Truck looks awesome. That will be the tire and size that I will go with. Had those exact same tires on my last two Fords and there were no issues at all. Looks like they will be going on my Chevy now. Thanks for the pics.

Can you give some front and rear pics, some showing how the truck looks with those 275s on. Kinda curious how wide they look with the truck on a 3.75 combo and 34s

I just got some cheap ones on eBay from wheelcity. I also bought some et style lugs. I wasn't real happy with how many rotations I got on the lugs.

I like your lights! Where did you get them, or what did you have done. Sweet truck!

 

This man also did the work on my headlights, I can definitely vouch for his work. :thumbs:

 

I also ran across something yesterday you guys might find interesting. I saw someone run 35's on a single 2" leveling kit with almost 0 rubbing issues so he claims. Anyone else try this setup? (forgive me if this is old news, haven't had time to browse the forum lately)

That's what I'm saying lol, if he really doesn't rub with no trimming like he claims I'll be all over some 35's for my pickup.

Whenever my tires run out ( about 1/2 life) I'm going to try 305/70/18's (34.8"x12") on a 2.5 level and 1.5 body lift. It'll be a bit still, but i'm going to try it at least. Hopefully someone will have the answer by then, but that's my intent. 295/70/18's as a backup.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I find it amusing the OP doesn’t realize this threads heading includes several engines. He should have posted in the off topic section if he wanted a more narrow focus. I really appreciate and find amusing that he actually pointed out one of my many vehicles. The Odyssey. That happens to use 0-20 oil. I love pushing his buttons.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Maybe, but it seems he is the only one that has backed up data to prove what he is stating. I think he is doing this more because he enjoys it and wants to get the information out to us. He's got the knowledge and access to the proper equipment and having the funds doesn't hurt.  I would love to do what he is doing and would do it if and when I hit the Powerball.  I'm not a Tribologist by any means but love to learn what I can.   I would bet there would be doubting people out there if a completely independent lab with high quality work and highly respected in the automotive industry, put out information like this.  The world can't be pleased, one just has to take the information that they are given, do more of their own research to find actual lab data to back up what they are trying to figure/find out.  Most don't bother, they just want to believe what they first see.     I don't have the minimax but my 6.2 in my 2019 Silverado with 64k miles shows excellent UOA results with 0w-20 and for my own purposes 5w-20.  Since not much of a change using 5w. I liked the data sheet information on the SS 5w-20 and figured I would give it a try.  Still the same viscosity at 100℃.   In the end we all just do what makes us happy, life is too short to get upset over trivial social media.   On a side note, I do feel GM has dropped the ball and just cares about the bottom dollar and not quality anymore.  "Like a Rock" has been long gone.  Seems "Built Ford Tough" has as well.

      2026 sierra bad brake controller

      By flattop · Posted

      Hello, my 3 month old Sierra Elevation wont recognize a trailer with electric brakes? All the lights work correctly, but no power to the brakes?   This is the factory installed brake controller. If you manually push the knob, the display shows the power % but does not light up like my 2022 silverado.   I have an appointment with the dealer, but was checking to see if anyone else has seen this issue.    Thanks,

      Post your latest oil change.

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Been using SS 0w-20 from new, but wanted to change to the 5w-20 because I liked the data on the data sheet, to me it seems like a little better product. But as you can see, not much difference. This is also with running a mix of 10 gallons E85 to a tank topped with 93. It isn't a flex fuel vehicle so any higher I get a CEL for running lean on both banks. Yes my mileage takes a hit. Instead of 20 mpg I normally get on trips I get 17mpg. This is also using EaO17 filter.  What is amazing is I have the AMSOIL cone filter on it since I have the GM Performance intake installed and that air filter has 44k miles on it.  I just take it out and shop vac it off once a year.  I use the upholstery tool on my shop vac.  Works well.
