I wouldnt paint the side markers as that would be illegal where I live. But I may paint the part that is normally black. So it would be white in the middle and black on the top and bottom.

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.

Add-a-Leaf was from Zone. I like having some rake in the truck for towing and hauling, it didn't affect the ride that I could tell either.

 

Still a good ride?

I can't tell any difference in ride from when it was stock except for the D range tires, than what it is now. I had the tires put on it before I took delivery of it.

For those that have put a leveling kit in their truck, what height are your trucks sitting at now? My underground parking is 6'6" and that's what most of the parkades are as well. So I just wanna see how much I can get away with before the top of my truck hits the bar.

For those with a 2.5" RC leveling kit, did it truly level the truck out or is the rear still a little higher than the front. I had one installed last Saturday but the rear measures 3/4" - 1" higher. I tried to see if maybe the shop "forgot" to install the top plate that goes on top of the strut but I can't see it. Anyone have pictures of their front strut with the top plate installed? What do you guys think, level enough?

I emailed Anzo about this as well, I installed them on Monday Night and noticed the driver side is really low. I'm hoping there is a way to adjust them.

I have the same headlights. Did you guys get this resolved? The adjustments screws are in the back and they are in a bad spot. They sit right in front of the radiator support frame. So like someone mentioned, you have to take the headlights off which means you have to take the radiator top panel, plastic between bumper and grille, and the grille off to make the adjustments. I was just thinking of drilling holes through the radiator support frame to be able to adjust the headlights without all that hassle.

Man those are some meaty looking tires. Haven't heard much about those. Looks like an off brand Toyo MT. How do you like them so far?

I'm pretty happy with them so far, they ride very smooth but have a little hum at highway speeds.

 

The hum is more of a higher pitch sound than the Toyo MT's but they are not annoying loud.

 

The ride is very smooth, not one complaint about that area yet.

Did you add anything in the back?

Are those Rigid lights that you replaced the stock fog lights with? How tough was it to wire them in?

I'd be interested in knowing about the lights too.

 

Also, I want to fit 33s in my Silverado, with as little trimming as possible. From reading through this thread, the RC 2.5 or 3.5 should be enough for that purpose?

      seat base height *lowering* (base 40/20/40 seat, 2026 1500 WT std cab)

      By bwiese · Posted

      Folks, Have a great new 2026 WT  (std cab, 2.7/4WD) w/base 40/20/40 mech adj bench "fake buckets"  (with lower and upper center console) heavy vinyl seats.  Overall the seats are very comfortable and the vinyl is heavy and appears less likely to 'split out'. Am very tall (6'5")  + a bad back/osteporosis/former hyperparathyroidism so ease/range of movement is a bit restricted.  The truck rides a bit high and I use a nerf step bar w/my left foot to step in, then I put right foot/leg in, drag my butt in  & get seated.  Worked fine in my 2018 RAM quadCab. But I end up dragging my butt over the left raised sidecushsion area of vinyl seat, and due to texture there's fair amount of traction on slide inward.  (ArmorAll didn't improve.) If the seat were even ~1/2" - 3/4" lower it'd be helpful, but base seats just have the forward/backward underseat bail and the side lever for tilt which really doesn't affect seat height.   I really don't want to 'de-puff' the left side sidecushion forming the  fake 'bucket'. I know one company sells 'seat elevator blocks':  but is there a simple way of lowering the height of the driver seat instead?   Thanks Bill W San Jose

      I have a basic 2026 1500 WT  (2.7L/4WD reg cab shorttbed). Comfy, generally happy with electronics/radio - but is there a way I can add switches to steering wheel right-side position (curr. empty) so I can adjust volume, push phone button to voice dial, etc? Bill W San Jose

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      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.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      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.
