Just got my 2014 silverado 1500 LT. Sorry for the noob question, but I want to order the RC 2" level kit. Is it obvious which strut I have, Aluminum or Steel? I have never done one before

 

Thanks...

 

Steel is black and aluminum is the natural color silver grayish. I just used a magnet though, steel it sticks and aluminum it won't.

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.

2014 Sierra SLT

2.25" Readylift

Switched out the 20" chrome wheels for the 22" CK164. Wanted the black inserts but found a good deal on a set with the chrome. Took a shot at plastidipping them (inserts) this weekend. They turned out great. Hopefully they will hold up. Think I'm gonna keep the 285/45's for a while before moving up in tire size.

^ Agreed, more pics.

 

I was just looking at a new Yukon Denali this weekend with these wheels and it got me thinking......

No rub on 295/55/20..... 305s will rub.

So I'm running 305 50 20 with +18 offset. No rub at all with 2" rc leveling kit. I would like a taller tire. So r u saying I'll have to go 295 55 instead 305 55 20?

Yes 305/55/20 rub. We did a test run on 33/12.50.20 and they rubbed bad. 305s had a little rub at full lock. I am running the 295/55/20 with +14 offset. When the tires are set next to each other they are so close in size.

Here's a few more. Really wasn't able to take a pic that shows just how good these wheels look on the truck. These pics don't do them justice unfortunately.

Looks great! If I wasnt going with larger and wider tires, I would definitely go with these rims. Have been a fan of them since I saw them on a truck at the dealership whe looking for my truck. Almost got them when I got my truck

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      My truck is a ¾ ton but my placard also says 80 for the rear tires, I think I might have the upgraded suspension to the 3500 series maybe.   I put my air down to 60 and the light was still on, and there was no way I was putting over 60 psi in the rear empty and not towing because I knew the actual number Toyo gave me and I didn't wanna ruin the center of my tires!   And you actually can change it in the settings from metric or is and it will show kph or mph then when you go into your tire settings it will be either psi or kpa, but it would be nice to just change it directly on the tire psi page

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money".

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.
