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.

2.5 Rough Country lift. 295/55/20 Toyo MT tires. Fuel Maverick wheels 20 inch with +20 offset

Would you say there's room for 305/55/20? Or do you think 295/55/20 is pushing it? I assume there was also no trimming involved?

Anyone added rancho quicklift or bilstein ride height? I have 2" rough country and when I hit bumps it feels like it bounces. I'm looking for a more secure leveling/lift kit that rides smooth while towing or off roading? Any suggestions

Has anyone had both a rough country and readylift leveling kit? I'm doing research on which is a better one to install. I was all for a Rough Country until I was thinking about how the spacer block is like some type of reinforced plastic. Where ReadyLift has the aluminum 2 piece set. Thanks for the suggestions. The trucks on this thread are amazing and I hope to get mine done soon. :cool:

My kit was a 2.5 lift. .5 rubber spacer on tip and the bottom was a u shaped lift that takes the shock and moves it up 2inch. I have a YouTube video posted up.

Btw it rides great with this set up....

Nice truck man, I'm really diggin' your setup! I want some aftermarket wheels but can't find the hear to part with the stock chrome 20's.

 

I couldn't help but notice most of the trucks on here are perfectly leveled or so it looks that way. Mine doesn't sit like that and I still can't figure out why. Maybe I installed the kit incorrectly? I also have a 2.5" RC kit but it doesn't sit like this one does. I didn't install the rear block because I figured it's already not leveled why would I raise the rear even more? I also still have this noise my kits making and can't figure out what it is. Makes a really loud "squeak" sound when I hit any type of bump and occasionally when I put the truck in reverse it'll make a pop sound, when I turn the wheel all the way to the left in drive and go forward it makes a really loud pop sound. Any ideas guys?

I had mine installed at a shop. They use a ton of grease on the .5 spacer on top...I know this because I went to look inside and my hand was covered in a thick black grease (truck is only 2 weeks old) as far as the popping have you re-torqued the level kit? I drove mine for 300 miles and has the same thing and once they went over the level kit and tighten everything up it went away. I have 600 miles on my lift with no noise. I'll measure tonight but before the new tires i was at 39 inch up front and in rear to to the center wheel well.

I am at no means a mechanic too. So wtf do I know... just stating my experience

Make sure everything is torqued correctly and also check to see if the lower bolt is hitting your drive shaft, check both sides.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.

      Do you have access to BP fuels? Some stations have Silver 91 E-0 priced the same as their 93 E-10.  There is a local Marathon with 90 alky free for $6 a gallon but I go down the road to BP for $5-ish. They also have a 100 E-0 but that stuff is $10 a pop.
