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.

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??

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By KARNUT · Posted

      More is cylinder deactivation. Kia-Hyundai Ive had 4. The warranty is the same 10 years 100K miles. My grandson drives the first one 05 Elantra GT. My wife drives the second one 2011 Genesis. The Genesis still performs as new and looks great. The Elantra looks rough. He’s not kind to it. The third was a Genesis coup. The fourth was a Santa Fe. Those were my daily drivers. I don’t keep them long. Kia is the same as Hyundai with the same warranty. I looked at the K-4 today. Too small, otherwise pretty good buy. Most of Hyundai and Kia’s have a performance upgrade.

      Oil Consumption

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Great question. Answer....depends. One the volume of the crankcase, the driver that will actually be using the vehicle and the amount it uses plus the distance expected for that next trip. Couple of for instances:   Wife is going to drive Dizzy to Moline and back plus a bit around town so say 500 miles on the day. I know from years with that SUV that around town and local rural it uses about a quart in 1250 miles. But on the Interstate and her at the wheel without her anchor nagging her she'll push it and it will drop a quart in about 800 miles. Hence, around town I wait to somewhere between a quarter down to a quart down. On her trip I'd top it if it was down a few ounces and hope for the best.    Have I overfilled one? You mean by adding before it needs a full quart I assume. No, not once after finding the true fill mark.  I know the dipsticks of everything I drive and add what it needs. I learn this by doing the first oil change a quart low. Run the motor for a few minutes. Let it sit over night. Check and mark. Then add half a cup at a time making note of the place on the stick. I add through the dipstick tube with a barbeque basting bottle. Give it a few minutes to drain down and check again.    A vehicle like Dizzy that uses this much oil will take a few quarts between 3K changes. I keep one in the vehicle with the bottle and a bag. (Mindful of it's fullness) Not a big deal and never makes a mess of it. There is no such thing as "multiple quarts' in my shop for any specific oil. There will be a maximum however of the number of different oils used over the fleet.     Dizzy holds a nominal 5 quarts. So the first fill was indeed over as it actually took 4.75. My vehicles are fit with Valvomax valves so I can meter an ounce on the drain if need be. Found her mark first crack at it. Never to be repeated.    Pepper uses none between changes so I don't keep a quart in that one. Straight up 6 quarts put her dead on the full line. Check it ever fuel stop. They will surprise you when they start using.    Raven holds 3 liters or 5.44 ounces over three quarts. I add 3 quarts and 6 ounces. That gives me 5 oil changes on my orphan quart.    Lawnmower holds about 3/5 of a quart. I don't over fill it to prevent an orphan. So yea, depends.

      185k on original 6.2L engine and 10 speed. 6" lift with 35" tires. Changed oil (Mobil 1 synthetic) when truck told me to. Original tranny with original fluid and no service or flush done. All highway miles. A/C compressor replaced at 155k. Oil cooler line replaced at 180k. Still daily driver. Love this truck.   This is my 3rd 6.2L vehicle (2008 Yukon Denali / 2018 Cadillac Escalade) with over 150k miles and no issues. Denali had broken motor mount at 100k.
