Looking to pull the trigger on a leveling kit and tires soon on my '15 sierra CCSB. Im sure this has been answered before, but would y'all recommend the RC 2.5" leveling kit or bilstein/rancho quick lifts? Also, what is the biggest size tire that you can run with each on stock 20's? I'm looking at 33x12.5x20s or 275/65r20s. With a true 33, how bad is the rubbing on the UCA/sway bar?

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.

I just bought a 2015 Sierra 1500 all terrain and I'm looking to put a leveling/lift kit in it. The stock wheels are 18's. What lift should I go with if I'm not looking to buy new wheels and tires yet?

Just level the front if you don't plan on new tires yet.

I've noticed a noise coming from my CV joints. At full lock, going pretty slow is sounds like a rubbing/clicking sound. It's very light/faint. Had the GF get in it and turn the wheel and move the truck forward and to the rear, turned at full lock both ways and the sound comes from the CV joints. Not sure of its normal, it's been to cold to have the windows down to hear anything until recently.

So did you get this fixed? Was it in fact the CV joints or something else? Do you think it had to do with the motofab level kit? More info please.

Finally had to cancel my Bilstein front leveling shocks with Suspension Connection. I bought them in April and they kept being pushed back a month at a time until finally they said it would be mid-september. I'm thinking I'll just buy some spacers, but maybe another site has them in stock.

I bought some from autoplicity and they ran out and could not fill my order, so I found some on ebay and ordered 2 sets for me and a friend got them last week for 359.99. He has since sold out and there is another guy on ebay with a set of 4 right now but he wants 419.99 if you want to spend that much on them looks like he has 3 sets still.

I might try to pick some up on eBay, hopefully I can find them without gouging.

Bad part is they already spent me the Bilstein rear shocks. I may be a nut, but I want a matching set or I may just do a spacer and get it over with.

Do they remove the factory spring and these replace it since it has a spring on it?

Also does it require an alignment after install?

Rancho quick lifts already have the spring on them and you do need an alignment. Go to Rancho's website and you will learn more.

I'm sorry that sucks! Suspension Connection is who I bought mine from. I guess I must have ordered them at just the right time. I haven't seen anyone else bring up the new Bilstein 6112's. They are basically a beefed up version of the 5100's, from what I've read anyways. I'm not sure if they are out or not yet though.

Those look like they come with new springs too, but not the spring hat, so you'd still have to have a spring compressor. No big deal about that though. I'll have to do some looking around but those look interesting. I wouldn't mind waiting for those to come out. I'm not in a big hurry to spend a couple grand on wheels and tires yet anyway.

 

Oh wow, those are pricey! $699.

2014 Silverado 4wd. Came from factory with Rancho shocks, aluminum suspension and 1in of rake. Added Rough Country 2.5" front, and 1" rear along with Rough Country rear shocks. Just changing the rears made a huge difference in ride quality. Went with a set of 285/65r18 Toyo Open Country Extreme AT2S. Next will be super springs or air bags to help level it out while towing and to get more rake back. Also has NFAB 3 steps in wrinkle finish.

I have a 2014 crew cab standard bed and mine came with 3inch rake from the factory. just did the Rough Country 2 inch level in the front so now only 1 inch rake. Looks great! I too did the 285/65/18 Toyo Open Country AT2s. LOVE those tires!

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By No1UKnow · Posted

      Hello All!   My 2019 Colorado 3.6 LT, 4WD Crew Cab has approximately 77,500 miles and I recently began experiencing the well-known transmission shudder between about 30 and 65 mph. The problem had worsened to the point that I could no longer attribute it to road conditions - and I had decided to bring the truck to the dealer - when recently, I experienced a sudden loss of power while driving at maybe 40 MPH. Several warning lights flashed, the “Check Stabilitrack” message appeared, and the Check Engine, Stabilitrack, and Traction Control icons remained illuminated. The truck regained driving power, but it stayed in a low gear with unusually high RPMs for the speed. (limp mode?) Because I was only about two miles from home, driving slowly, I was able to make it back and run an OBD-II scan, which showed fault codes U0101, P0700, and U0100. My next trip in the truck was to drive it to the dealer the following day. That trip began normally, but after about a mile I experienced another loss of power, along with the same warning lights and the same “Check Stabilitrack” message. As before the truck remained driveable, but again operated at an abnormally high RPM-to-speed ratio and seemed stuck in a single gear. About a mile later, the dashboard lit up once more, this time displaying “Check 4WD.” Soon after that, I arrived at the dealer. I have verified that the truck still has its original factory transmission fluid, which means it has never received the corrective fluid exchange outlined in GM Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355.  That was Thursday of last week and I've heard nothing yet from the dealer.    According to Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355 and the build date of my truck, my truck should have the newer LV fluid. I've done a little research and read something about a problem with the wiring harness as well.   Anyone have an insights into this situation?  Thank you!!

      Gas Prices

      By PhilB · Posted

      Did you even read this article?   Even the title of the article says "U.S.-Iran Deal Doesn’t Mean a Swift Return of Oil and Gas Flows"   Remember, crude oil prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the oil companies.  Gas prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the station.  This article stated that many of the oil producing nations have to restart their processes to get the oil produced.  Then the oil has to be shipped to wherever.  And it doesn't get there overnight.  And most of that oil is not coming here. Check out this site:  https://afdc.energy.gov/data/10621   A graph will pop up to show where the US imports their oil from.  Notice that there isn't a lot of import from OPEC and Iraq.  Most of the US import comes from Canada. The US oil produces are selling their oil on the open market, which is why the US fuel costs went up.  So you're correct, the US oil companies are going to slow walk the price downward.
