I second the thought of Toyo tires. Had them on my Tacoma and loved them. Buddy currently has them on his 2010 silverado and he loves them too.

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 know this has probably been answered before, but is it possible to run 33"x12.5" tires on a 2" leveling kit with the stock 20" wheels? Anyone have pictures they can post? I don't really want to trim, so any issues with rubbing?

Yeah you dont have to worry about trimming, but it will rub the UCA/swaybar.

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.

Thanks for the info. Just went ahead and ordered the RC 2" for the front. Hopefully I'll get to them tonight, if not definetly this weekend. Then it will be time for tire and rims.

What size tire could I fit on my truck with the Bilstein shocks set at the 1.25" front setting? I have 20" wheels.

 

I'm thinking overall the same height as stock but with some added width.

 

Anyone have thoughts?

Got my Rough Country 2.5 leveling kit on, front only and truck is perfectly level. Looking at some Moto Metal 962 20x12 wheels with 33x12.5 tires. Anyone put these wheels on a 2015 sierra z71 or chevy equivalent? The offset on the wheels are -44. Any advice would be great.

Both of those will work fine IMO.

 

I have my front end raised the same amount as you and I just put on 275/60 20's and they clear with room to spare for height and width.

 

You might already know this site exists but if not it's pretty cool.

Yea thanks. I used that site to find similar tire sizes. I was more concerned about actual fitment. I dont want to rub at all.

Good deal.

 

Yeah I didn't want any rub either and they don't. Your two choices should clear no problem.

I'm pretty sure those are going to rub like crazy. That negative offset is going to be the issue.

If you don't want any rubbing at all, I'd say either a 285/55/20, 305/50/20, or a 275/60/20.

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      That's good to know, but I don't think I'll even be running them under 45 in the rear  unless it's on the sand or something but will only be for a short distance anyways!    I didn't read all the instructions in the booklet yet, but do you know let's say I set the rear psi on the placard to 45, will the warning light come on soon as it drops under 45 or is there a percentage it has to drop from the set value before the warning light is triggered?

      Would this CV Shaft be bad?

      By newdude · Posted

      That's bad.  Like, its probably destroying the stub axle the CV slides into.   Do you have a proper lift installed with differential lowering brackets?  Did you install AT4/Trail Boss factory CV axles?

      Hot? New Jersey? Today? I was working on my old 2000 Silverado 1500 today. Believe me, it was boiling hot today. As it has been.
