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 just bought my 2014 GMC Sierra All Terrain Edition. I was to use my stock 20" wheels and add 33"x12.50R20 toyo rt tires. What lift would you guys recommend and why? Trying to avoid any rubbing or clearance issues and looking to install level kit myself. Thanks

Rough Country 2.5" on my High Country has zero rubbing with 33x12.50R20 tires

Did you change the rear block? Any pictures? I want it to sit level no incline back or front. Thanks a lot

Hi fellas first post here. I installed the rough country 2.5 about 3 months ago and I'm having some weird squeaks and popping on occasion over bumps and backing up. I think I read a wile back someone was having this issue too. Seems like they just re-tourqued everything and it was solved.

Don't grill me for not wanting to read the entire thread to find it again.

I guess my question is is there something wrong or do I just need to re torque everything?

Anyone in edmonton or knows who does leveling in edmonton for Sierra 1500? I am looking for 2.25, but dealership wants $875 CAD + tax for labour and kit!

 

Anyone has clear warranty coverage on leveled truck in Canada? What is the law on mods in Canada anyway?

It's gonna cost about that much everywhere, because the 2.25" kit requires taking the strut out. Get a 2" kit and it can be done for under $300 (depending on which kit you get). And really what's a quarter inch going to get you? As for mods in Canada, they are pretty standard laws and can be found on the ministry of transportations web site…

I'm from Saskatchewan and I believe the Modifications laws are posted on the Sask government website. I can't see that a levelling kit would be illegal anywhere. The Sask. modifications law reads that your headlights and bumper need to be a certain distance from the ground. Which I'm sure if half the lifted rig rockets meet standards, your half ton sierra with a levelling kit will too.

I beg to differ. My dealer (Knapp in Blissfield MI)installed my RC 2 1/2 level lift for $258, which was $180 labor and $59.95 to re-align the front end.

Not all dealer are honest and will rip you off when they can.

I am referring to any law preventing dealers to refuse to repair if I mod the truck. like MAGNUSON-MOSS

Well, I am sure i am not breaking any law :) I have a buddy that did 6" lift without any issues. but I want to know if I will be denied for warranty as I modded my level

Not the case in Canada most places, if not all, charge a flat rate. Every dealer I approached about the 2.25" kit I put in my 2012 wanted an average of $600 (I already had the kit)… Best I found was a Mufflerman that would do it for $450… But my 2" kit was $280 including the kit at a dealer…

Labor must have been cheaper than $180 cause the 2 1/2" kit on rc's website is $149. In Ontario i was quoted $500 + tax for the 2 1/2" kit including labor and $109 for an alignment.

I just had our guys install the pro Comp 2.5" levelling kit in my 2014 1500 double cab 4x4. prior to install the front measured 36.5" and the rear was dead on 39". Installed measures 39" on all four corners with stock 18" wheels and tires. The kit I purchased on Amazon for $165.00(187.00 to my door), labour to install and align was 2.0 hrs. @ $130.00/hr. flat rate. The truck rides great, a little tighter in the front end, no unwanted noises, headlights will need to be adjusted. Tire sizing is next up.

      New to Me 2010 SLE (Quirks, Issues)

      By fm2176 · Posted

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.

      Yes your absolutely right, I been looking at the 4 inch BDS one and it acutely states you can use the stock 20’s just not the 17’s or 18’s, I also didn’t realize that with my 275/60r20 stock wheels I’m already running 33 inch diameter wheel setup lol so I can just run my stock wheels and tires atleast to start.

      I would expect that to be lift-kit dependent.  If the kit has interference issues w stock wheels, then the kit/manufacturer should indicate that somewhere.

      That’s what I’m wondering is if the stock backspacing of the factory wheels will clear new upper control arms and such
