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?

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Through the years it hasn't been my typical method as I tried to drop oil on an engine that was hot from having been worked, however that was not always practical and had to fire up a unit and let it warm up reasonably well and drop the oil when I had the time to do it but am referring to not only vehicles but a variety of farm equipment and highway tractors etc. However on a vehicle where one is crawling under it and the exhaust is nearby to ones body and if wanting to pull the plug without danger of being hit with boiling hot oil or attempting to remove a HOT oil filter, its sure safer and easier to not have everything smoking hot and can remove the filter right away when under the vehicle and let it all drain. Of course its not the end of the world if a bit of oil stays in the engine that might have eventually found its way out, I like to get out as much as possible but any oil changes that take place in shops would rarely be sitting around for very long at all before the plug is thrown back in and filter slapped on and oil poured in and sent out the door quick like. There would be very little time spent ( assuming they even did it ) in starting the engine with oil to fill the filter, then waiting to verify the level on the stick. A good reason to check ones oil level shortly after a shop changed the oil on a vehicle just to make sure its correct and to look under for any oil around the drain plug or filter.

      Oil Consumption

      By diyer2 · Posted

      I have changed oil and filter for years by starting a cold engine to warm oil up, let it run 5-10 minutes depending on temperature. Drain until it starts dripping, refill with quantity from owners manual or get it close.

      Fluid Change Questions

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I changed the factory fill oil in the rear diff of my truck for the first time today and the miles is close to 9000 on the truck. There was a lot of fines on the magnet, a very thick layer but working it through my fingers it all felt like mush and as most know it appears like graphite, so no surprise chunks anyway. Certainly was time to do it from my thinking and could have been done sooner but the oil didn't look awful but sure wasn't new looking and never expected it to either. I did use some solvent to help me clean out the bottom area of the axle housing, just get any other stuff settled at the bottom washed and wiped out of the housing for the bit of effort it takes. I used Amsoil Severe Gear 75W90 in the easy packs to try out what they are like and I used up 4 packs and didn't spill much at all in the process but did take all four of the packs and go to the work bench and emptied them into a measuring container and there certainly was some in them that added up to something, then poured that into one of the easy packs and squirted in what I could get out of it. I would say the level is within 1/8th of an inch of being level with the threads at the fill plug so just the perfect amount. Once again, more than what GM says the fill volume is but computes with what others are adding to their rear diffs as well.
