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.

Well guys I finally pulled the trigger and went with the RC 2.5" for my truck. I have a 2014 6.2 High Country in Tungsten metallic. I looked through all the posts and didn't see any high country's leveled with the stock wheels. I was a little worried about the look with the stock tires but I love it. The truck will get some bfg KO2's when they come out with the size I want, but for now stockers will do. The truck seems to ride just a tad bit stiffer than stock and when I say a tad that is with me really looking for a ride difference. Wound up with 3/4 of an inch higher in the rear and it sits perfectly level with the Ranger behind the truck. All in all I was definitely pleased. Did the work myself and had it done in just over 3 hours and was quite simple to do. Hopefully now there will be some pictures of a leveled tungsten metallic high country for someone else to see if they have the same truck and have plans to do the same thing. Sorry the truck is on an incline in the driveway.

I like the stance. If you get the chance post some pics on level ground, I want to do something with mine. I have the same truck except White Diamond and a short box.

That's good to know Husker, thanks.

Does anyone know if I could run 295/70r17 tires on a 17x8.5" wheel with 0mm offset? I have a 2" level. A guy on GMFS is running that with a slightly different offset and says he does not rub. I just find it hard to believe.

Thanks for the help.

Wondering the same thing myself. Hoping to push it with 295/70 17 or 285/75 17. Haven't been able to find anyone with that set up. Dealership said they put together several with 285/70 17 with level kit and no rub. I may go that route if I can't find anything on the larger sizes.

Well after some help from the kind folks here and some research I took the leap for a ReadyLift 2.25 for my 2014 Silverado 2wt standard cab . Have a appointment next week for the install at my local Chevy dealer and I'm pretty excited and can't wait . I must say I'm a little nervous since I love the way it rides now although ReadyLift guarantees no change in ride quality also my local dealer said it will not void or change my warranty. Anyone running this kit with a similar truck as mine that's running this ReadyLift 2.25 on there truck that could give me some input and pictures would be great . I scanned threw every page on this thread and haven't seen one but might of missed it .

Also was curious if those with 2 to 2 1/2 inch leveler kits feel the need or had to adjust there head lights down for better visibility and to not blind on coming traffic ?

I don't have the Readylift kit but anytime that you make adjustments to your suspension or ride height your headlights will need to adjusted. If you leave them as they are then they will be in every other driver's eyes.

That's what I figured , guess I'll have to find a nice flat area and a wall . Anyone know the distance you should adjust them at and what height ?

Will do. I have the day off tomorrow so I'll try to get a few and post them up. May have the boat behind it though, depends on how cold it is in the morning and if the rain holds off.

      TCM Tuning 6L80E

      I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.

      Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.

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

      Atlas, you kill me As aggravating as a project like this can be you have been unable to hide your fascination with learning and using that angst against this beast like a Ninjitsu Master. It amuses you, admit it now.      BTW, love your writing style. 😉
