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.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thanks for all the help so far!   I did try right from 2026 right down to 2021, and only from 2023 down lets me select the option for tire psi change, but I get the vehicle not supported error!   I'll definitely try it under Chevrolet after work today, and I'll get the sensor number from gm for my truck tire sensors. And I'll let you know if it works for me under Chevrolet!   And if that doesn't work, I'm going to guess that what @Atlas said about maybe I have a different body control module could be true!

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      From where I'm sitting this sounds like a compatibility problem. I'm assuming the 2007 was a 900-series truck, and not an 800-series (they were sold side-by-side in dealerships that model year), since it starts and runs.   This is why I HATE post-2006 vehicles. Everything becomes a huge problem when you try to keep the thing running for longer than the manufacturer has designed it to.    I can't remember when Global-A architecture started - either '10 or '11. For your sake, you had better hope it's '11, or you're going to be spending some BIG money to correct this cluster-eff. That's something you need to find out before doing anything else. You may have several computers bricked ... but the fact that it runs tells me you MIGHT be ok here.     EDIT: Just did a quick refresher. You're screwed. This is Global-A. The 2 systems are NOT compatible in the slightest. Once you get the correct engine in there that IS compatible, you're going to need to see how many computers are locked. Absolute NIGHTMARE to straighten out, too. Your buddy might be better off cutting his losses and finding something else.   Welcome to post-2006 vehicle electronics. This is why I quit the industry, and drive nothing built after 1994. This stuff takes all the fun out of wrenching!

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      True, hard to say what differences there may or may not be between Chev and GM as well as a production year or mid year part change either.    I just found it odd that under the Sierra choice on the Autel that many of the last few years of production year did not include the choice of changing the tire pressure but if that is an Autel thing or a GM thing as to why the choices were not there. Knowing what tpms sensors are on the truck should give some guidance into which choices on the tool even make sense to try as I wouldn't give up just yet with the tool but I guess he will see what if anything he comes up with if he finds out a bit more info and tries a few more things on the Autel.

      Needing this part.

      By davester · Posted

      I'm sure if you went to a junkyard where you go in and pull the part off the truck yourself, not a used part place where they do it for you, you can get that part on it's own.  Depending on if and what else you would be buying, and time of day, they might even just skip over adding it as a item to the bill.
