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.

Anyone put a 295/60/20 on with a 2" RC level? Willing to do a little wheel well trimming if needed?

U can go to. 34 inch tire

I will be running the Cooper Discoverer STT, which I am currently running in the 33X12.50R20. Their 35s measure out to an overall diameter of 34.65, so they should be okay.

Sorry thought it was the guy with 2 level and 1 1/4 body .. but it just depends on the true measurements of tire .. Mine say 34.7 but really only 34.25 on a 9 inch rim..

I wont be doing this until my current 33's run out of tread life. Then I will be doing the body lift and 35's. From now until then I could find a different tire that I like and will hopefully measure out closer to your size tires, may have to go with a metric tire size. I am glad to see someone has succesfully completed what I had in my mind. All the 4 wheel/off road shops I have talked to have told me that it was not possible to fit a 35 inch tire without a 6 inch lift. I will be glad to prove them wrong once mine is complete.

Just purchased a 2014 sierra 4 wd double cab with P 275/55/R20 tires and wheels Want to install Billstein 5100 leveling shocks on the front to level the truck. 3" is the number in order to be level but unsure of what ring adjustment to use on the Billistein to give the desired level .

Also would like to hear from a member who has made this change and the end results of the change reguarding handling and ride.

 

Thanks

I have 5100's on my truck, they are set at the top notch which is 1.85". I installed a 1/4" spacer under them to give me about 2 3/8" lift. I wouldn't go over 2 1/2" of lift in the front, because the angles of the suspension won't like it…

 

I find the ride quality improved greatly with the 5100's and I'm very happy with them…

New B to this forum. I have read through most of thes 163 pages of posts - however i have yet to see anyone with my "hopeful" set up.

 

2014 Silverado LT Crew Cab. I purchased the Rough Country 2" Leveling kit, American Eagle Series 015 20x9 wheel with a +25mm offset. Will this fit a 295 55 20 tire? I dont want to Rub or Cut. Whats the largest tire size i can go with?

 

I am being told that a +25 will sit like a rail road car as it sits in way to far, a lot of cutting will be needed as i will be hitting everything inside with a 31" tire.If that is the case i will return them as i want to run as i want to run a slightly larger tire.

 

Thanks and look forward to posting some pics of my new set up sooner then later.

I just got a 2015 Silverado 1500 Z71 and am wanting to lift it. I found the rough country 3.5" lift and am wanting to know more bout it. It comes with aftermarket control arms. It comes with a differential drop and new differential skid plate. Does anyone have pictures of this kit with 0 to +18 offset rims

my rims are +12 witch I think helps I would like -12 but don't like my black truck all chipped up .. I don't rub anywhere but liner and that's an easy fix.. was going to go with a 295/60 but they where just to high when I could get these for 100$ less a tire .. I will go mud tire next

I previously had this exact size Toyo Open Country AT2 on my 14 AT.

With OE wheels which are 20X9, +27 offset I had minimum rub on sway bar at full lock.

Good luck on purchase.

Ok thanks.

 

I've been told that I should go with a 305 50 r20 hankook dynamo at rf10 as a lot of thr other tires that want are 10 ply and are gonna ride pretty rough. I'm no looking for a monster truck with a rough ride, but want it to look slightly more agressive then stock.

 

Anyone run these tires?

thinking of leveling out the front of my truck 3" and then getting airbags for the rear instead of blocks. Am also looking at dropping the differential to help out the cv angles. if I was to drop the diff at a different time, would changing the cv angles cause me to have to have my truck realigned?

 

Thanks

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I have never seen GM instructions for the other trucks as per the HD with the 6 speed or the half tons but had got the impression that the HD trucks with the 6 speed were not having the same problem that the 10 speed and pan presented. Also video that I have seen of the HD 10 speed with the gas engine starting in 2024 model year showed that it was a real struggle to even make it work when pulling down hard on the exhaust after undoing the exhaust hanger bracket on the side of the transmission as after all there is little room for the pipe to even go down behind the Y joint as it soon would hit a frame cross member. Also that they had tried just like I did with the gasket off and no way was that pan coming out any way they tried to manipulate the pan. From that as well as the local transmission shop talking about the pain in the rear issue, I was not expecting my pan to come out because GM shows it was not even intended to come out without dealing with the exhaust piping.    It would be nice to claim, here's what you do and its easy to remove the pan guaranteed on any HD truck with the gas 10 speed but dollars to donuts the next guy trying what I did would not have the same luck as the exhaust was just manufactured slightly different and be pissed off at my claim that the pan comes out with no issue. Its more of a try and see if your particular truck might work like mine did .... or not !.

      Sorry I didn't see this until now, but it works on both the 6 speed and 10 speeds, as well as all the half tons too.

      Engine vibration after motor mount replacement.

      By 1998sleaze · Posted

      Hello, I have a 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 that I recently changed both motor mounts on due to the driver's side being blown out. After replacement I seem to have a steady vibration that I can feel in the pedals and the back of the seat. At this point I'm convinced that the aftermarket "Anchor" branded mounts I used are not performing as well as OE, the only real reason I ended up using the mounts in question was because my local dealers were out a few months to get a Driver's side mount. I've tried "Neutralizing" the mounts according to the motor mount TSB published for these truck to no avail. My trans mount is also in great shape and seems to be absorbing vibrations swimmingly. As far as I can tell there is no issues idling, my idle RPM is steady and I've recently put GM plugs and wires on, however, I have not cleaned the throttle body or intake valves. Any one else have a similar experience with aftermarket mounts? Patience certainly is a virtue that I wish I exercised here. Thank you!

      I still saw people out for runs, on their bikes/motorcylces, jeeps with the doors off driving around here the past 2 days. I guess we are just used to it here haha.   Tasted like a bonfire the last 2 days.

      The TCM has to be flashed before it can drive.   If you installed it the way it is, it has the OS (operating system/program) from the 2010 truck you got it from. That will not match with the VIN/OS pair that your 2013 truck has.   You can do the full install. Then tow it to a dealership and they can flash the trucks PCM/TCM with the latest program for your VIN.
