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

      Ok I missed that part that yours is a GM. The strange part is that the choice for year ranges and within the year of 2026 is different on the Sierra then on the Chev for some reason as I am looking at my tool at the Sierra choices. Now I am guessing you see as to your sensor part number as it may be different on your truck for some reason and a call to GM should get you the part model number of the sensors you should have as well as which MHz your sensors are. I know mine are the ones as per what I listed but there are other choices in the Autel and got me wondering if by some chance they put different ones in your truck. Having said that, did you try using each of the choices starting from No 1 and going on down the list, not sure if that would mean shutting off the engine each time and resetting the tool and going at it again each time. Also I thought of something else which may sound retarded but if there was some stupid chance that the chev choice would work. The reason I say that is that the Sierra is showing a range up to 06/2026 for the various choices of sensors it could be where as the Chev has one choice that has that 12/2026. By the way it is possible to not run the truck and you may know that as per not pressing the brake but pressing and holding the start button for a few seconds and it lights up the dash ( its called service mode ) but that sucks battery power and if it were me doing it that way I would be throwing on a decent sized battery charger before doing it that way as killing your battery won't make you happy at me at all !.    Like I say, just a thought to try the Chev choices if you have already exhausted the Sierra choices but first it would be nice to know for sure what exact sensor model and hertz your truck uses as I assume only those choices that mention the sensor would work unless a choice that does not mention the sensor model would somehow work. Its frustrating when one is trying to use tools like this without the experience of the tool and the vehicle, as I am sure dealer techs themselves struggle with it when starting out or a new model year comes along that is slightly different.

      I tried before I updated the scan tool just incase an update messed it up, but it never worked so I updated the scan tool and it still didn't work.   Only difference is I click on Sierra not Chevrolet cause I have a Sierra.   If I click on 2026-2024 I didn't have any option to change placard, when I click on 2023 it does give me the option but when I try to do it,.it says vehicle not supported!   I have my region or market or whatever it is set to America I think, is that what yours is set to?

      Its just that it worked on 2024 trucks on this forum and my 2025 model truck, unless GM did something since that point to screw up access or Autel has a bad update. I haven't had need to use my tool since last year when I did the changes to the placard pressure settings and since then I updated the software on my Autel but have not plugged into the OBD so hard to say if I would get a surprise as well.    All I know last year when I bought the Autel I was warned to be sure to update it before I tried using the unit as they said who knows how long ago unit itself was actually manufactured as the software could be way out of date.

      And so you had gone through the process of registering and updating the tool and so on ?. All I can say is that on the front page as the tool fires up you go to advanced mode, then vehicle model comes up and you choose Silverado ( not the DRW or EV  since your a single rear wheel ) , then I think its choice 2 which is 07/2021 - 12/2026 ( 433mhz 13542523 ) as that is the series of tpms sensors and then go down to choice 5 which is tire type/pressure selection. Hit yes and it says to connect to OBD port and turn ignition on.    Having said this, I updated the software in my tool lately and these year range choices look different from the past due to them doing some updates it would appear and I have not connected up to the OBD port since last year so hopefully I am not in for a surprise with them screwing up the software and that it won't work on my truck anymore either.    So my question is, when you plugged into the OBD and started your truck it had that message on the Autel screen "vehicle not supported" ?. That does seem odd as tire shops would be pissed right off if hey can't use their tool on the model year after mine that in theory is supposed to be much the same truck ... unless GM did some change in the computer system to block certain things from access.

      Understanding and using modern scan tools is its own body of knowledge. I had little hope that would work...programming access to the BCM is probably required and that is not easy for us consumers. Expensive scan tool, GM programming subscription, online authentication, etc.   It also may be a matter of finding the right dealer to program it for you. Flashing a modern BCM might be a little too advanced for most tire shops.
