On the headlight aiming topic, all you need to do before getting lifted is close your garage door, mark off where your front wheels are with tape on the driveway and turn the lights on. Again with tape, follow the cutoff line on your garage door. Once lifted, put the truck back into the same spot and adjust one of the headlights back down to the original marking, counting the number of turns and then apply the same number of turns to the other side or until cutoffs match.

Done and done.

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.

Yes, I do, as do many others here. This is the kit I have on a Crew with a standard box. There is also a difference between the Z71 package and Non Z71 equipped trucks so if you have questions just ask.

I have an all terrain with the Z71, so would the Rough Country 2.5" kit with the 2" blocks not work?

I believe the difference is in how much the kit will actually raise the truck. If I remember correctly the shocks on the Z71 are different and the front is a tad higher compared to the LT. So the starting height is different.

Not having a Z71 doesn't give me the personal knowledge of this but it seems it was covered somewhere in the100 plus pages in this thread.

Anyone with a Z71 know the difference please chime in...

But, to answer your question, yes the kit should work. RC customer service may also be able to answer this question.

Yeah, fair enough. I'll follow up with them and then post my findings here!

 

Thx dude

Hey guys, i've been through this thread once or twice a while back, looking for quick confirmation whether I'll be able to fit 33's + 20's on a 2 inch leveled 2014 with minor or zero modification, if not, would stepping up to 3in do the trick? Not 100% happy with the 2 inches anyway

I wouldn't go true 3" without new upper control arms. Even at 2.5 I'm debating new UCAs.

Out of concern for the ball joints or because you want to go off road?

Ball joints and the angle. If you look at the stock UCAs at 2.5 they look like they're taking about all they can.

Ive looked through the whole thread, was wondering if anyone was running 295/55/20 with a 2" leveling kit with either +14 or 1 offset.

Not sure about a 2" level but AZGMCZ71Leveled is running 295/55/20 on Fuel Maverick 20x9 +14 offset and a 2.5" RCX level

Is anyone running RC 2.5" with 295/70/18 (34.25x11.6) or equivalent? If so please list your wheel specs, and tire brand, and/or fitment issues.



I really want to go a little bigger than 33, seeing as it's only a 1.5" increase but if thats all I can fit I'll stick to 275/70/18 and still have an acceptable MPG.

      Lower trims ( WT, Custom, Silverado ( aka LT )

      By newdude · Posted

      HD at the moment, are kinda their own deal.  How LTZ sells on those vs on 1500, there is a difference.   They are merging most of the mid trims on 1500.  LT, RST and LTZ are replaced by one trim, Silverado.  LT and RST are a BIG portion of sales.    Bad naming choice aside, the new Silverado trim will offer the spread of options that those three trims offered.  So expect to see things like the tech package for example, and maybe memory seats.  And LT Trail Boss will now just be "Trail Boss" (formerly LT Trail Boss) but will offer content spread like the new Silverado trim will.  The press photos showed the Trail Boss (formerly LT Trail Boss) has access to Super Cruise now, which on the current truck was High Country only.

      2021 vs 2026 handling (1500 X31 Sierra)

      By dennismc · Posted

      I installed a Hellwig rear sway bar on my 21 Sierra SLT, it made a huge difference on how the truck handles, no body roll, the trucks much more planted now. Not sure of the suspension differences between the 21 and 26,  if its body roll your having a sway bar will solve it.

      frustrating P0446 code

      By Old Bay · Posted

      So a follow up and my fix. I found in online searches the live data to look at on a scan tool to verify the fuel tank pressure sensor was working.  It showed an spec number towards the lower end of the rang, but in spec.  Then while it was running opened the gas cap and the pressure should change.  It didn't change even a tiny bit.  The data for the purge valve said it was open...never changed. So then I measured the voltages on the plug for the fuel pressure sensor and they matched what it should be.  So local car quest parts had the sensor in stock...it was a bit of a pain to remove and an even bigger one to get it to actually go back in.  It helped to unbolt the driveshaft and bungie cord away from the gas tank to give a bit more room to work. So fuel tank pressure sensor in I cleared the code, and started it up.  I went to the scan tool's live data and... Eureka! The pressure number was different and fluctuated a bit.  So took it on a short drive and pressure number varied saw the purge valve go from closed to open and back to closed.  Drove it to and from work for roughly a week plugged in the scan tool no codes.  I took it in to get tested and passed.  In my state's infinite wisdom (oops meant greed), since I pushed the test with the maximum extensions I have to take it back in by Feb '27 to 'get it back up to date', then my next test won't be until Feb '29.

      loose lug nuts

      By newdude · Posted

      Any grease on the stud threads of any kind?   Wheel studs should have NOTHING on them for proper torquing and so the nuts don't back off.     Are all of the mating surfaces clean?  So wheel, rotor and hub?     We've had plenty of trucks at work with that wheel, this is a first to me.  Makes me think they've got a lube tech putting anti-seize on all the wheel studs or some kind of grease, and they need to stop doing that.  To have 11 other trucks with the same exact problem.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By Flynlow · Posted

      I was a Chevy guy for years, then switched to GMC because I liked the looks better.  I'm actually thinking I like the Chevy looks better than GMC for the first time in a lot of years.   One thing I know for certain, the new GMC dash is hideous!  Chevy wins this one!
