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.

2" level front only. 285/70/17 Kelly safari tsr. 17x9 +12 ballistic morax rims. Next few mods will be window tint and anzo u bar headlights which are in the mail now. Not sure how to post pictures. http://s257.photobucket.com/user/08230/library/truck?sort=3&page=1

 

Looks great! I think that we are 2 of the few to go with 17" wheels. Looks sharp man.

Well, here is the aftermath of the 5100 and cognito install. I'm not very good at step by step pics, so these are pretty much just after shots…

The height difference doesn't look to obvious over the 2" RC kit that was in there, but the ride is so much better. Truck sits about 3/8" higher now…

Did you use bilsteins plus spacers or the bilsteins at the highest setting? Also how do those new UCAs feel?

I used the 5100's at the highest setting and fab up a set of 1/4" spacers to go under the strut…

Got my 2in rough country leveling kit installed about a month ago.

 

Here is the pic fresh off the lift at the shop.

 

 

 

 

 

Now I have the itch to get some wheels and tires but I'm more confused than ever. If anyone can provide some insight it would be greatly appreciated.

 

I'm thinking about doing some 285/55/20 Nitto Terra Grapplers and putting them on the stock rims, but the sales guy at discount tires swears 305/55/20 terra grapplers would fit no problem.

 

Reading through here it seems the 305/55/20's are going to rub, anyone have that size with no rub?

 

If I decide on the 305/55/20's can I fit those with the proper rim offset? If yes what offset would that be? I don't want the tires poking out to much from the fender.

 

Thanks for any help!

Here is my 1.5" Level kit. It comes with 3 spacers for the bottom struts allowing anywhere from 1", 1.5", or 2". I wanted a little rake so I went with the 1.5" I got it on ebay. Here is the link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ADJUSTABLE-LIFT-LEVELING-KIT-Raise-your-front-end-1-1-1-2-or-2-/121313284674?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3ASilverado+1500&hash=item1c3ed5d242&vxp=mtr

Are you still liking this lift kit? How is it holding up? Thanks a head of time.

Have a new 2015 truck now, but the kit held up fine and I had no problems with it. If you want the front raised, but like a little rake, little cost, this is the way to go.

 

However....the new truck feels smother than my 2014 over the small bumps, the only difference being the level kit. I could be going crazy, but I think even the 1.5 inch lift changed the softness of the ride. Not a huge change...but noticeable. If I was going to do it again, I would probably pick up a set of Rancho or Billstein leveling shocks.

This isn't a great shot, but you can see the alignment with the body is just about perfect!

Definitely the look I want, but terra grapplers dont come in the 295/55/20. I think 305's wouldn't be to extreme, at least I hope.

You're right, the Terra Grappler doesn't come in that size. They have a 285 (way too small) and a 305. I think the 305's look huge. I don't think they would rub if you did the exact same setup as I have, but if they did you could easily trim the inner fender liner. Just a big tire!

Toyo is the way to go. I've been running Toyo tires on everything for the past 15 years. They have never done me wrong. I'd recommend them, and they are the same price point as Nitto...besides, at one point they were the same company.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By No1UKnow · Posted

      Hello All!   My 2019 Colorado 3.6 LT, 4WD Crew Cab has approximately 77,500 miles and I recently began experiencing the well-known transmission shudder between about 30 and 65 mph. The problem had worsened to the point that I could no longer attribute it to road conditions - and I had decided to bring the truck to the dealer - when recently, I experienced a sudden loss of power while driving at maybe 40 MPH. Several warning lights flashed, the “Check Stabilitrack” message appeared, and the Check Engine, Stabilitrack, and Traction Control icons remained illuminated. The truck regained driving power, but it stayed in a low gear with unusually high RPMs for the speed. (limp mode?) Because I was only about two miles from home, driving slowly, I was able to make it back and run an OBD-II scan, which showed fault codes U0101, P0700, and U0100. My next trip in the truck was to drive it to the dealer the following day. That trip began normally, but after about a mile I experienced another loss of power, along with the same warning lights and the same “Check Stabilitrack” message. As before the truck remained driveable, but again operated at an abnormally high RPM-to-speed ratio and seemed stuck in a single gear. About a mile later, the dashboard lit up once more, this time displaying “Check 4WD.” Soon after that, I arrived at the dealer. I have verified that the truck still has its original factory transmission fluid, which means it has never received the corrective fluid exchange outlined in GM Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355.  That was Thursday of last week and I've heard nothing yet from the dealer.    According to Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355 and the build date of my truck, my truck should have the newer LV fluid. I've done a little research and read something about a problem with the wiring harness as well.   Anyone have an insights into this situation?  Thank you!!

      Gas Prices

      By PhilB · Posted

      Did you even read this article?   Even the title of the article says "U.S.-Iran Deal Doesn’t Mean a Swift Return of Oil and Gas Flows"   Remember, crude oil prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the oil companies.  Gas prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the station.  This article stated that many of the oil producing nations have to restart their processes to get the oil produced.  Then the oil has to be shipped to wherever.  And it doesn't get there overnight.  And most of that oil is not coming here. Check out this site:  https://afdc.energy.gov/data/10621   A graph will pop up to show where the US imports their oil from.  Notice that there isn't a lot of import from OPEC and Iraq.  Most of the US import comes from Canada. The US oil produces are selling their oil on the open market, which is why the US fuel costs went up.  So you're correct, the US oil companies are going to slow walk the price downward.
