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.

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
