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

The tires you have are LT tires so they are most likely a 10 ply. That is what is holding me up right now on buying what would be my 3rd set of tires. I want to get at least a 33" tall set of tire, closer to 34 would be perfect for me but I haven't found any "P" series tires that would get my that height. I don't want or need the 10 ply or want the heavy weight of the LT tires.

NoTyme - Nitto makes a 305-55-20XL Terra Grappler which are 33.2" tall and 12.4" wide and are extra load 4ply tire and not an LT 10 ply. These weigh in at 49lbs. Pretty happy medium, and I think this will be my next set of tires.

Thanks for the tip. I may have to look at them and see if they will fit with my stock rims.. :thumbs:

These Terra Grapplers are just shy of 32.5. I'm happy.

I know you guys get this questions all the time but I have a 2014 1500 z71 I have a 2.25 ready lift done. I'm looking to put the toyos mts on 275 70 18 on my stock rim. It measures a 33.6 I'm worried that I'll rub a lot I don't mind cutting a little but don't want to tear anything up thank you.

I have the toyos on mine in have a zero offset though and a 4 in lift just rubs the inner fender liner when doing a sharp turn I'm not sure they will fit with out an offset

If I'm sitting at 36.5" in the front and 39.5 or 39.7 in the back would the RC 2.5 front level only put the front higher than the rear? Should just 39 in the front and 39.5 in the back.

 

For those running 2.5" front level only how was your gas mileage?

I installed the ReadyLift 2.25" Leveling kit and I couldn't be happier. The overall ride quality doesn't feel any different than factory, the company was great to deal with and the build quality of the parts were awesome. I'm going to start with a set of 33" Terra Grapplers but if I feel the need for more tire and a larger lift I'll be calling them for the next kit as well.

What was your height of the front and rear fenders before?

Never measured before, but I'll take a measurement later

My kit has only been on two days. I did a 2.5 and a 1 in the back.

Truck sits great. I have not seen a change in gas millage. Stock wheels and tires.

 

I'm sure my new tires will kill the millage, but there a week out.

Mine was the exact same measurement as yours before I installed the 2.5 RC kit. I DID NOT put on the rear block and my measurements after the lift was installed is 39.2 in the front and 39.5 in the rear. I personally love the way it looks. I've been riding with the stock tires now for about 5,000 miles and am getting about 18mph average. I also took off the front air dam, so that may have affected my gas mileage as well.

      I could be interested if they axed cylinder deactivation and at least have a button for stop start. I’m sure the HP numbers will be higher. I would want a longer warranty to help build confidence. I’m a less is more guy as I get older. A V-8 work truck model would be my choice. I know a few outfitters for custom additions I prefer.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Zane · Posted

      It's official. GMC pulled the covers off the next-gen 2027 Sierra 1500, and we got the first official look. Full breakdown here: https://www.gm-trucks.com/next-gen-2027-gmc-sierra-1500-v8-trim-changes/   The quick hits: SLE and SLT are dead. The new core retail trim is just called "Elevation". Two new V8s, a 5.7L and a 6.6L built with high-performance Corvette architecture roots. No horsepower or torque numbers yet. The 2.7 TurboMax finally ditches the old gearbox and gets the 10-speed automatic. AT4X moves to larger standard 35-inch tires with front and rear e-lockers, Multimatic DSSV dampers, and heavy-duty Jounce Control Dampers. Over 60 inches of combined display on Denali Ultimate and AT4X, complete with a motorized articulating center screen and an adaptive passenger screen. Seven simplified trims across the entire model line to clean up ordering confusion.   So let's get into it: New 5.7L and 6.6L gas V8s with custom active exhaust tuning and a Corvette connection. Is this the exact engine lineup half-ton traditionalists have been begging for? Purging the iconic SLE and SLT names after all these years to lean entirely on Elevation as the high-volume core. Bold move, or a mistake? That motorized articulating 16.3-inch screen that slides up to reveal a hidden dashboard vault. Awesome mechanical theater, or does it make you nervous about long-term durability? Physically lowering the headlamps in the front fascia to improve road courtesy and stop blinding oncoming traffic. Smart real-world engineering, or does it hurt the truck's aggressive stance? What trim are you putting your name down for on day one? Drop your first impressions below.

      My overnight hospital stay turned into five.  I developed a post operative fever and an erratic  heart rate.  A blood clot in the lungs was the culprit.  This is apparently a common post surgical complication and easily remedied.   I was the youngest in a four bed ward and a Doctor with a Geriatric specialization was in charge of my care.  All of the nurses were good and some were outstanding at dealing with old people.  It was very evident that my age triggered a different level of care!  My advice to any senior going for a hospital stay is to have a trusted family member advocate visible.  If not, you will still be well cared for, but you may discover that your voice  isn't as strong as it once was!
