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 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.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      That's good to know, but I don't think I'll even be running them under 45 in the rear  unless it's on the sand or something but will only be for a short distance anyways!    I didn't read all the instructions in the booklet yet, but do you know let's say I set the rear psi on the placard to 45, will the warning light come on soon as it drops under 45 or is there a percentage it has to drop from the set value before the warning light is triggered?

      Would this CV Shaft be bad?

      By newdude · Posted

      That's bad.  Like, its probably destroying the stub axle the CV slides into.   Do you have a proper lift installed with differential lowering brackets?  Did you install AT4/Trail Boss factory CV axles?

      Hot? New Jersey? Today? I was working on my old 2000 Silverado 1500 today. Believe me, it was boiling hot today. As it has been.
