Posted (edited)

I have spent 3 days reading 179 pages I think I've finally decided on a 2.5 rough country front only with stock rear block, I want to run 18" fuel maverick rims with Toyo Open Country MT and I want my tires to be wide and to stick out just a little with NO RUB what size and offset should I run? I have a few sizes in mind below

275/65/18

275/70/18

285/65/18 <<

 

Thanks in advance

2014 Silverado 4x4

I would definitely run the 285/65/18. As for offset, +1 or +14 in the 18x9 maverick would be my choice. Probably the +1 for me. Edited by Aldila

After talking with Mr Wheel Deal I was told a 12mm offset will set my wheel flush with the fenders giving the tires a little outside the fender, if you run fender flares the 0mm might be better. I went with 12mm for mine just waiting on them to get here now.

Does anyone know where the best price can be had on all 4 rancho shocks 2 x RS999901 and 2 x RS999198. Everywhere I have seen sells them separate. I thought there should be somewhere that sells all 4 at a discount.

Well I'm officially burned out from reading through most of this thread. I can't decide what leveling kit to get, Seems like they all get the job done. My question is for those that plan to keep the truck for a long time, are you worried about any long term effects on the suspension?

 

I plan on keeping my '14 Sierra 2wd for as long as I can. I'm looking for a 2in level. Which would be best kit for? Something like an RC or Pro Comp? Or replacing the shocks with Bilstein or Rancho?

Assuming you're talking about a 9" wide wheel. Some guys on here run 9" wide with +1 on the fuel mavericks and barely poke. I would consider a little more offset if you want the tire to run flush with a flare. Lots of pictures throughout this fourm!

If you stick with 2 inch or less, there shouldn't shouldn't be any effects.

I went with the 12mm so If I want it to stick out more I could add a small spacer. but if I like it more in then I wouldn't have to get new wheels.

I ran a 2 inch level on my 07 nnbs and only issues were cv boots tore. Obviously you don't have to worry about that happening. That happened at around 90xxx miles. Many have had ball joint issues in the long run, but I never did. I traded it at 111xxx miles. Heck I still had stock brakes on it. Edited by Aldila

    • The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.
    • So I purchased the Range unit for my 2026 and I am seeing different locations suggested for the ECM . Can anyone confirm wither under hood, left side or right side or behind the wheelwell?
    • Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that. 
    • "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
