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.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.

      In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them.

      I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.
