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

      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.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      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.
