How did the spacers fit, stud wish is there enough left to safely tighten the lugs. Also I can't seem to find anything but 2" spacers on the rough country website.

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

I have a 2015 Sierra 1500 All Terrain with 2" level (stock 1.5" rear blocks). I put 295/60r20 on stock wheels. They had a very slight rub on front inner wheel liner at full lock, but it was fixed easily by a zip tie. I originally put 275/60 on there cuz the tire shop didn't thing the 295/60 would fit. They were wrong! The 295/60 looks 100% better. I have Toyo Open Country AT 2. The 295/60 is the Xtreme version so it is noisier/heavier than the 275/60 due to the wider Xtreme tread pattern...but it looks way better! I also added a 1/4" RCountry spacer to the wheels to get a little more width for astetics.

I was looking into those tires but could not find them in my area to compare to the duratrac. They had the 275/65 r20 which is a not extreme size ??? the dealer here didn't even know the difference between the extreme version.

Overall happy with what I got but yours look nice too . :thumbs:

Well here's mine, finally finished everything up. Level kit, tint, new tires and debadged. Weird thing is, I feel every bump in the road with these tires, like they are a harder tire and everything travels to the floor boards...oh well.

Might have got a 10ply which is a stiffer tire

I didn't think of that, I mounted and balanced them myself, all of them took less then 3 oz, but one tire took 6.25, that tire has me worried.

Thank you for the link, I'm not planning on doing any offroading but in not sure if I trust that type of spacer.

Just picked up my brand new 2015 GMC Sierra Z71 Double Cab. Ordered a Rough Country 2.5" leveling kit today. Still not sure which tires I want to run. I am looking to run the biggest tires possible width wise without hitting the suspension parts underneath. Eyeing 275/60/20 's right now. Gonna keep the stock rims and not afraid to get some small wheel spacers if need be. Any info on the rims that come stock on this truck would be appreciated. I am thinking they are +26 offset but not entirely sure.

 

Thanks all.

I would be willing to bet that it's due to two things. Your psi and the level kit. I had a spacer level on my truck before going with rancho quickliftsthis weekend and it rode really rough. Lowering my psi to 33 helped, but in the end getting quicklifts was way better.

Just picked up a set of Bilstein adjustable shocks front and the rear to go with them. Autozone spring compressors work fine for the install or should I order something better?

If it's any help, im pretty sure my neighbor used some Autozone or Pepboys spring compressors when he installed a set of Bilsteins on his 06 2500

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      That's interesting, I assume that would add to the cost of the oil but also I was forgetting to bring up the issue of the low tension rings allowing more oil past which in turn forces the cats to have more oil additives pass through them that wouldn't otherwise so they are creating that problem and of course its all in the name of fuel economy. Mind you the other issue would be the lack of additives that fight the formation of carbon within the piston ring grooves which turn the engine into an oil burner and with in this GM forums case is your average off the shelf Dexos licensed oil, meanwhile the other off the shelf oil being Valvoline's R&P isn't licensed and the only one that is which is that certain Mobil oil that came out recently ( its not even being marketed in Canada ) and only a fraction of vehicle owners are going to be using it out of all the other oils on the shelf or the quickie lube bay that meet the Dexos spec by way of actual licensing.    Also I suspect that its an easy excuse to pool the non turbo DI engines in with the turbo DI engines and design the oil to not have LSPI issues in the most demanding engines and short change the naturally aspirated DI by not offering a higher concentration of additive package they could handle and still not be at risk of LSPI.    I wonder if Amsoil flipped the switch just lately and did whatever packaging designation at the same time as I wonder what oil formulation I would have bought in May, of course I don't know when it was packaged at the factory vs how long it was in storage at the Edmonton warehouse. I know its been said at least in the past that the big players switch over to a reformulated oil but the packaging has not changed until they make that move as well so there is that cross over time where its a new formulation in a predated formula marked package.

      Hmm. A real reason to not just use the odometer to determine OCI?

      Sad thing is that this doesn't have to be the case. LSPI can be solved without a reduction in TBN. Swap Ca for Mg.  Cats are not a issue if the OEM can get a ring and valve guide seal even at SN levels of SAPS. Dizzy is purring like a kitten with a bowl of warm milk. 200K of Full SAPS oil and zero detonation issues and nice a clean inside and out. This shouldn't be an issue. It isn't 1920.    Tell ya what AMSOIL SS is excellent at, internal cleanliness. The new formula is even a step up from their already outstanding cleanliness levels. Can't say the OEM offering is quite that clean. There marketing suggest the SS is cleaner.     That is the only defense with at shelf oil. Nothing wrong with them if you ignore the marketing and OEM 'recommended' OCI and use a thimble full of common sense. 😉 You go sir.

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By StingerZ16 · Posted

      I started with a folding cover by BAK PAC on my 2500. It went bad after close to 5 years. Bent and vinyl coming loose. Contacted BAK and they gave me a very good discount on a Revolver. Had it a number of years. Mostly outdoor storage. Some garage storage. Vinyl started to come loose. Still under warranty so they replaced to cover. Sold the 2500, bought the 1500 and got another revolver for it. Had it a couple years now and no issues. I store it indoors. Got a bit of discount when buying it as well. If you are seeing problems, contact BAK or real truck and let them know. Customer service was pretty good. But I think they changed their warranty.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I agree, there is no one answer fits all as every rig is different, one may be pulling some little aluminum fishing boat while another is towing a monstrosity that weighs a lot and hopefully the owner if the rig has some prior experience to know what drive mode they should choose.    It also struck me and this is from watching a few of those boat ramp escapades videos in the past, Ford being one of the vehicles that has the auto front axle hubs and sure enough its found out that one hub has crapped out and won't engage and may not have manual hubs to even select on both sides so they are on the boat ramp stuck with no four wheel drive and spinning .... they flat out need a tow to get up the ramp and deal with the vehicles new found issues. That can happen to all brands of pickup, finding out either four wheel drive or 4 low isn't working right at the time its needed it to work as some electronic crap has failed.
