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!

      Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By Another JR · Posted

      The thinking is that starting out in a higher gear makes it easier to avoid applying excessive torque when pressing the gas pedal. In a modern 4wd truck with 4 low and a limited slip or locking rear end, I would use 4 low and try to crawl up the ramp. Sometimes if they are too slippery, you have to back up to let the boat have some bouyancy, and then accelerate briskly to get some momentum to help you pull the through the slippery parts.

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.
