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?

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I find it amusing the OP doesn’t realize this threads heading includes several engines. He should have posted in the off topic section if he wanted a more narrow focus. I really appreciate and find amusing that he actually pointed out one of my many vehicles. The Odyssey. That happens to use 0-20 oil. I love pushing his buttons.

      Maybe, but it seems he is the only one that has backed up data to prove what he is stating. I think he is doing this more because he enjoys it and wants to get the information out to us. He's got the knowledge and access to the proper equipment and having the funds doesn't hurt.  I would love to do what he is doing and would do it if and when I hit the Powerball.  I'm not a Tribologist by any means but love to learn what I can.   I would bet there would be doubting people out there if a completely independent lab with high quality work and highly respected in the automotive industry, put out information like this.  The world can't be pleased, one just has to take the information that they are given, do more of their own research to find actual lab data to back up what they are trying to figure/find out.  Most don't bother, they just want to believe what they first see.     I don't have the minimax but my 6.2 in my 2019 Silverado with 64k miles shows excellent UOA results with 0w-20 and for my own purposes 5w-20.  Since not much of a change using 5w. I liked the data sheet information on the SS 5w-20 and figured I would give it a try.  Still the same viscosity at 100℃.   In the end we all just do what makes us happy, life is too short to get upset over trivial social media.   On a side note, I do feel GM has dropped the ball and just cares about the bottom dollar and not quality anymore.  "Like a Rock" has been long gone.  Seems "Built Ford Tough" has as well.

      2026 sierra bad brake controller

      By flattop · Posted

      Hello, my 3 month old Sierra Elevation wont recognize a trailer with electric brakes? All the lights work correctly, but no power to the brakes?   This is the factory installed brake controller. If you manually push the knob, the display shows the power % but does not light up like my 2022 silverado.   I have an appointment with the dealer, but was checking to see if anyone else has seen this issue.    Thanks,

      Post your latest oil change.

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Been using SS 0w-20 from new, but wanted to change to the 5w-20 because I liked the data on the data sheet, to me it seems like a little better product. But as you can see, not much difference. This is also with running a mix of 10 gallons E85 to a tank topped with 93. It isn't a flex fuel vehicle so any higher I get a CEL for running lean on both banks. Yes my mileage takes a hit. Instead of 20 mpg I normally get on trips I get 17mpg. This is also using EaO17 filter.  What is amazing is I have the AMSOIL cone filter on it since I have the GM Performance intake installed and that air filter has 44k miles on it.  I just take it out and shop vac it off once a year.  I use the upholstery tool on my shop vac.  Works well.
