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.

Mine is finally done! After months of research I went with the RC 2.5" level kit front only, stock rear block. 20"x9" Fuel Nutz w/ +1 offset, 33x12.50x20 Toyo M/T tires. No rubbing, No trimming, yet a

They look great, as does your whole truck. My new 6.2 has those 18's and I was a little worried since i have 20's now. After seeing yours, I believe it will work fine and 275 70 18 will be my choice as well.

Yeah there's no rubbing at all and from all these pages and doing the size comparisons from people who posted their set ups with different wheel sizes etc etc I found that 275/75R18 would be the max size. I was going to go with those but last minute decided to go with 275/70R18.

 

For a ref you can got to the site in linking below and see what size compares to your wheel size. When people post what setup they have, as I'm sure you know, won't be the same when they have different wheel sizes. The site below make it VERY simple to figure it out.

Ok been reading for over a week. I'm toast. 160+ pages! Have a question hopefully someone can answer. It's time for a level. Can anyone tell me which would be a stiffer ride...

Bilstein 5100's or the RC 2"/2.5" lift level? TIA

I went with the Bilstein's for the fact that I do take my truck hunting so I'll be offroad and didn't want to have my front suspension over-extending. I have read on here from multiple ppl that their RC level rides really well too. I think it's just a personal preference and it depends a lot on your tires as well.

I am going to do the 2.5" RC lift soon (1.25 RC body lift later this year). I would rather have the dealership I bought the truck from do my alignment. Is about 20 miles too far or not an issue.

 

Thanks

 

No you'll be just fine at 20 miles. Its when you drive with your alignment out of wack for an extended period of time that you will see improper wear on your tires.

I was curious about eBay having them. I found where you can get stick on cover for the bow tie on the wheel. Is that what you meant? I didn't see anything for the unsets.

For the life of me, I can't find them on ebay this morning. But, they were the black piece of vinyl that you put on the spokes, to look exactly like the pics above with Plastidip.

OK Guys, Need opinions here...

15 Silverado 1500 crew 4x4 no Z71 with 6.2 & max tow pkg, with 2.5 RC leveling kit & 1.5 body lift.

What offset do I need to run BFG KO LT305/65/R18s on Raceline 901C 18x9s?

Tires are 33.5" tall & 12" wide

Thanks!

Nobody runs 305/65/18 tires with leveling & body lift???

My tires measure 12 wide and rub the sway bar at full lock I think they would work depending on how wide those are actually mounted and rim offset

If people say you can run 305/55/20 with a level, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to run 305/65/18. As stated above, it'll depend on offset and actual tire size, but should work. You may lightly rub the sway bar or fender liner. This is all with factory offset of +27 or +31.

 

I would think pushing it out a hair would kill the sway bar rub, but might increase the wheel liner rub.

I would go with +20 if those are the only 2 choice. +25 is pretty much stock location.

Got the tires put on a few days ago. Tires are 275/70R18 Toyo Open Country M/T.

 

I also have a RC 2.5 leveling kit, with the rear blocks that came with the kit installed(some people didn't use them).

 

Glad to see that Plasti-dipping the inserts worked out for you. Makes me wish I would have completed mine all those months ago. Also pretty crazy to see how much taller and wider your M/Ts are compared to my same size Open Country A/Ts. Truck looks awesome, man.

Here's a quick comparison from a website that I use for tire measurements/clearances:

The first wheel/tire is stock All-Star edition 18's and stock Goodyear tires. You can play around with this to get a feel for what might fit:

whats your offset and what is the actual tire size on sidewall. I was looking at 305 65 18 or 305 60 18. Does your setup rub

My wheels are a 0 offset, tires are a 33x12.5r18. Not sure what the metric conversion is.

 

I get 0 rubbing, lots or room.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Why don't I have a good scanner? I've always wanted one when I've needed one.   My latest reading says I don't need to do a relearn on the ckp sensor on a 1995 with OBD 1.5. The relearn is prescribed for the later-model 1995's which shipped with actual OBD II when GM completed the transition in prep for the 1996 MY. I need to confirm that. Did you know forums are disappearing? Knuckleheads on Facebook... it's not the same. It's just not.   So, scanners. Again, shooting myself in the foot for having eBayed my Snap On MT2500 "brick" with all the adapters. Not that I couldn't buy another but those are getting quite old, and mine wasn't new enough to work on 2000's vehicles.   Damn it (as I'm scanning my email between paragraphs here). Did you know there's a 2000 Jimmy 2-door on BaT that's ending this morning? It's local. I want it. 14k miles. Absolutely beautiful.   Back to scanners. MT2500's are old. Solus, now that could be a contender. There's a ~2008 Verus with a system error that's basically new in box for cheap. Hmm...I'm not sure about a scanner that runs an archaic version of windows (95 or CE, I can't tell).   I want the ability to reset and rotate TPMS, test individual modules, bleed ABS, electronic parking brake controls for servicing brakes, relearn procedures and other bidirectional controls.   Snap On does an MT2600. It's a new model as of last year, marketed as their "entry" scanner. Entry? Only where $1900 gets you through the doorway plus, I'm guessing, $1000/year if you wish to keep it current. So goes scan tools actually designed for production environments. Want decent products with excellent support, you pay for it.   Everyone is raving about Autels and TopDons and Foxconns and all these newer brands that are selling the $500 "prosumer" scanners for backyard hacks like me. They're tempting...honestly. Updates are cheaper, base prices are remarkably cheaper... And you get to deal with bugs and translation whoopsies and, well, just don't use it on anything expensive, OK? Having a dealer replace an ECU because it needs to be re-imaged after an adventure in scanning is no joke. But I think most people are getting by OK with these units.   eBay on a scratch-and-sniff pro-model oldie, a shiny new TopDon, or???   God dang it, I can't stop looking at this Jimmy. I'm ready! I'll Bring The TRailer! It's beautiful.

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      I removed the OE running boards.  It looked so much better.  I wish I took them off a long time ago.     I had to put something back on for my wife.  I wanted Westin Sure Grip Running Boards but they are very pricey, like $600 plus.  I was going to go with the Ionic 41's like I had on the 2019 Silverado but went with Westin Outlaw Drop Steps instead, about $200 cheaper.  They are sturdy and functional but not super crazy about the look, but it works.

      Disable DRL's

      By fondupot · Posted

      I had a Gen5DIY DRL relocate harness from a 2022 1500 that I saved. I had Gen5DIY modify the harness for my 2024 Silverado 2500. Plug n Play, worked perfectly.    Here's a video I made for the 2022 1500 truck. The install is more or less the same on a 2500.    The harness relocates the DRL tot he top amber turn signal on my 2500.

      Can ask that about a lot of places.   Holiday sells 91 for $1 over 87 octane. BP 93 is 80 cents. Amoco 93 is 80 cents Kwik Trips is $1.20 for 92 or whatever they have and $1 for the 91.   I know that this is not exactly same as what you are saying with the premium to premium debate of those two stations but why is there such a difference. Top Tier this and that, it's all BS. All the fuel comes from the same damn refinery, so give me a break.
