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

      I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.

      Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.
