Here's mine. 2.5 kit with 275/70/18s

How's are those BFGs in the snow/rain? I'm interested in those (same size as you have 275/70/18) but noticed that they are not rated for severe snow whereas most other BFGs are?

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 installed RC 2.5" on 2014 silverado z71 and put 275/65/20 goodyear wrangler duratracs on. I think they are 34.2" tall. I love the look and setup. I rounded off the wheel well liners slightly with a coping saw and no more rubbing. In these pictures I didn't have the rear block installed yet.

Got a question. I installed the Bilstein adjustable shocks. I went to the highest level and it did what I wanted. My issue is for some reason I can seem to tighten the top strut bolt. It just keeps turning. I know I have to hold the shaft but since you cant hold the shaft and use a torque wrench.

When is tight enough! no noise or anything.

Justin 283 have u noticed a significant stiffer ride with your duratracs? I just installed 275/60r20 today and it felt like I noticed every bump in the road. Mine aren't even 10 ply. Maybe I was just looking for it.

No I haven't really noticed any stiffer ride, maybe slightly but not too noticeable. It amazes me the height of the truck now just from 2.5", hoping in the truck, sitting in the truck. I love it

Here's my bone stock 2015 Sierra All-Terrain "before" pictures for reference. Plans are 2.5" RC kit up front, gonna leave the stock blocks in the back. I'll swap for the RC blocks if I have less than 0.5" rake or looks "nose high".

 

It's also getting 295/55r20 (33x11.5) Toyo AT2 Xtreme tires on stock 20's and black Bulletproof offset mud flaps. Should be done after the weekend, I'll report back with "after" pictures and measurements.

Here's a little bit of an update, got the Rough Country 2.5" kit installed up front and the 295/55r20 Toyo AT2 Extreme tires on.

Decided to leave the stock blocks in the back for now, had the shop send me a couple pics and take a few measurements.

Currently sitting at 39.5" up front and 39.75" out back from ground to center of fender.

I'll give it some time to see if it settles and if I change my mind I can easily swap the rear blocks.

Just have to get the BulletProof offset flaps on, tint the front windows and get the front bumper PPF installed.

Well I finally got the truck home and had time to take a few pictures. The weather is pretty crappy here so the truck didn't stat clean long. I'll take some more on a nicer day on flat level ground.

 

Truck has 2.5" RC level kit up front only, stock rear blocks. Fenders measure 39.75" up front and 40" out back. So it still has 0.25" of rake, but depending on which angle you look at the truck it can look "nose high"

Tires are 295/55r20 Toyo AT2 Xtreme on factory rims, no rubbing at all and they're quieter than I expected on the highway.

BulletProof flaps are still full length, I have the option to cut them down but I'll give it some time first.

Windows are tinted 35% up front, and front end has 3m paint protection film.

There's a little too much chrome for me on the side, might swap for color matched handles/mirrors and remove the running boards eventually.

Very nice truck sir ^ makes me wish I got black. I swear it's a love hate thing with that color haha..

 

Anyways, might be a longshot but any guys running 33's with 2" spacers on stockers? I know the 33's will clear on stock wheels with a leveling kit but not sure how much of a difference those spacers will make.

For a brief period I ran stock 22x9 +31 wheels 285/50R22 tires which is bigger than a 33, with 1.5" wheels spacers on a 2.5" level and didn't rub.

 

It's not exactly what you wanted but close

 

In the near term I'm going to take my lift off and put it back closer to stock. I'm on the fence about doing oem 22s + 1" wheel spacers 285/50R22 all terrains on 3" of lift or doing oem 22s +1" wheel spacers 305/45R22 Nitto 420s on 2.5" of lift

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
