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.

Mine is finally done! After months of research I went with the RC 2.5" level kit front only, stock rear block. 20"x9" Fuel Nutz w/ +1 offset, 33x12.50x20 Toyo M/T tires. No rubbing, No trimming, yet a

I feel like a lot of these kits make the front end look higher up than the rear. Like an old 4 runner. Ha

 

I like the levels that do 1.5" front. Or 3" front and 2" rear. Does anyone know which kits do that?

The easiest and cheapest is an aluminum 3/4" thick lower front shock spacer from ebay. That'll get about 1 1/2" front lift. I've been running that since about May.

I started to install my King shocks, RC UCAs, and Hellwig sway bars today. Right off the bat I ran into the dreaded "aftermarket interference" The Rough Country UCAs interfered with the frame flange. At first it looked like I could grind away a bit and it'd be fine. After grinding 1/2" off the flange and down to where the camber/caster cam is, I stopped. Still interference as you can see in the pix. Anyone thinking of buying the RC UCA for their 2014 should reconsider. I used their live chat and their guy said it fit. Frankly, these wouldn't fit any truck. No-mo RC anything for me.

 

 

Look forward to your thoughts on the King shocks. I have been doing a little reading/research on coilovers for our trucks. Looking at King, Fox and Camburg....just not sure which way to go.

Has anyone done a level and body lift yet? Think this might be my best/cheapest option to use stock wheels and 35's without using spacers.

 

Not sure if I should have posted in the lifted* thread..

yes that has been done. Check out this thread. Its for achieving 3.5-4" of lift on these trucks.

So I figured out what was wrong with the leveling kit. It was installed incorrectly, the top strut spacer was placed above the strut hat instead of under it. Stupid I know, I'm already kicking myself in the ass for letting it be done that way. The 1/2 spacer is ruined now. I want a new 1/2 spacer but I can't find them anywhere. Anyone have any suggestions? Should I try and make my own?

slight rub.

 

What do you guys think? what else should I do? new to the forum. Thanks.

 

 

 

Awesome looking truck. How is the negative offset with the rubbing? Is it only in reverse at full lock? I am really close to pulling the trigger on some new rims and the Fuel Mavericks and the Fuel Kranks are the 2 that I am looking at in that same -12 or possibly -24 with the 33 x 12.5 x 20 tires.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By tararebecca · Posted

      I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By artistemorbidity · Posted

      I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.

      Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
