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.

Strange, I just ordered my RC kit, 1305 GM 07-15 2.5" leveling lift kit and was told no difference concerning the control arms.

I ordered the Rough Country kit, 1305 GM 07-15 2.5" leveling lift kit and upgrade my tires to Bridgestone Dueler AT Revo 2's, P275/60R20 which are 33" tall compared to my Goodyear Eagle LS2 which are 31.8. I will be loosing an inch and some in width (10.0 to 8.7 wide). One of the guys in the service department has 35"s on his 1500 with the same lift but I don't want to throw off the speedo too much... I would think there are other factors that would also be changed as a result of tire size such as shift points of the tranny etc... If I could just touch 34 inches tall I would be right in the sweet spot.

I do like the look of the wider tires on these stock 20 wheels but I need to check the wheel size. I believe these are 2013 LTZ wheels and should have 31 offset backspacing. My summer shoes also have 31 offset, 5308 Hollanders that come on the Tahoe, Avalanche etc... Decisions decisions...

Keep the photos coming in and don't forget to post your lift size and tire size with the photos. That really does help us guys on the fence!!!

I have a 2014 Sierra SLE with a 2.5 RC lift with the stock 1" block in the rear. I want to put 295/70/18. Will these work on my truck? I'm getting conflicting strories from the tire sizes. Some people say they don't rub with that size but others say they barely rub with only 33s. I little guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys. I'm a newbie to the site by the way. I've been getting a lot of good info from the threads.

Ok, I took a the top .5 " spacer off the kit and I thought that would fix the issue. However the popping noise is still present and the awful creaking noise too. I tried to get a video of it but it's hard because it's raining and I can't press the gas (exhausts fault). You can hear it faintly in the video when I turn the wheel and when I pop it out of reverse/drive. It acts up even more towards the end. Turn your volume up high because it's not a super loud noise. It's much louder in the cab than on camera, but that should give an idea.

 

I re torqued some of the bolts, I couldn't get to the ball-joint bolt yet. At this point I'm considering removing the hold kit. Any ideas??

      seat base height *lowering* (base 40/20/40 seat, 2026 1500 WT std cab)

      By bwiese · Posted

      Folks, Have a great new 2026 WT  (std cab, 2.7/4WD) w/base 40/20/40 mech adj bench "fake buckets"  (with lower and upper center console) heavy vinyl seats.  Overall the seats are very comfortable and the vinyl is heavy and appears less likely to 'split out'. Am very tall (6'5")  + a bad back/osteporosis/former hyperparathyroidism so ease/range of movement is a bit restricted.  The truck rides a bit high and I use a nerf step bar w/my left foot to step in, then I put right foot/leg in, drag my butt in  & get seated.  Worked fine in my 2018 RAM quadCab. But I end up dragging my butt over the left raised sidecushsion area of vinyl seat, and due to texture there's fair amount of traction on slide inward.  (ArmorAll didn't improve.) If the seat were even ~1/2" - 3/4" lower it'd be helpful, but base seats just have the forward/backward underseat bail and the side lever for tilt which really doesn't affect seat height.   I really don't want to 'de-puff' the left side sidecushion forming the  fake 'bucket'. I know one company sells 'seat elevator blocks':  but is there a simple way of lowering the height of the driver seat instead?   Thanks Bill W San Jose

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      By No F-bdy Bs · Posted

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.
