Is everyone getting an alignment with a 2 inch level or is it fine to go without.I've seen mixed reviews but I'm just not 100% sure.

Get an alignment up front at a minimum. Costs like $50. Tires are 4 to 8 times that cost each [emoji4]

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

Ok sounds good. How hard is it to install the 2 inch kit can I just take the sway bar off and take the 2bolts out of the bottom shock and pry and strap up the shock some how or will I have a really tough time doing it that way. I am a carpenter so I understand how a lot of it works but I am not 100% sure on it

Just did the Pro Comp level 2.25 inches I believe it is and larger blocks in the rear. Ordered Toyo Open Country AT2 305/55/20 with Fuel Maverick +1 offset. Haven't seen anyone with this exact setup on here, but since I'm new to all this figured I would get some of y'all's expert help. Dealer said he thought there would be minimal rubbing if at all, do you guys think this is true? And how far do you think this setup will stick out past fender wells? I have 15 Silverado 1500 LTZ.

i did RC 2.5 level with 305 55 20 with 0 offset. Rubbed really bad on inner fender when turning sharp. Had to add zone 1.5 body lift to it

How did you put on a leveling kit with the sensors for the shocks on the front? Did your lift kit have lowering brackets for sensors? If so what are they and where did you get them. I have a Blue Denali 15 model I want to level. Thanks!

Alright after reading the majority of this and doing some math, I'd like some opinions. I wanna raise the front of the truck and maintain the rake of the truck for hauling and towing.

 

Right now completely stock she sits at 36" up front and 38.5" in the rear. I will be putting 275/70R18 after this is all said and done which is a 33" tire. Stock is 31.5". So I'd be gaining .75" from the tires alone.

 

Well if I got with a 2" level from RC I should be 36+.75+2= 38.75" front and 38.5+.75=39.25" rear with a total of .5" of rake.

 

With 2.5" level with 2" block in the rear: 36+.75+2.5= 39.25" front with 38.5+.75+2-1.25=40" rear with .75" of rake.

 

With 2.5" level with 3" block in the rear: front is the same at 39.25" and 38.5+.75+3-1.25=41" rear with 1.75" of rake.

 

I'm thinking with the 2.5" front and 3" rear block I'll be able to achieve the height that I want. All measurements are done from ground to fender. But with a 3" block in the rear do I need to change out the rear shocks? I have no experience with level kits or anything like that, so I'm really guessing. Any thoughts? And if you got pictures of that set up that would be awesome.

After spending days reading this thread, I went with the ReadyLift 2.25" level kit. Everything is now 39" on my new 2015 Midnight Edition. Keeping stock tires and rims (just 500 miles on them).

Thanks everyone for all the info!

Looks good. What size tires/rims did yours come with? I want to lift, but also can't see throwing away tires I've already paid for. How did the ride change after your lift?

Thanks. Tires are 265/65 R18.

I can't tell any difference in the ride so far. That's why I went with the RL level kit since it has a top and bottom spacer to hopefully even it out. I'll see if mpg stays the same in the next few days.

      Feeling Vibration and Jiggles in 2024 HD Gasser Steering Wheel

      By Policeoff01 · Posted

      Curious, did anyone ever get a fix for the vibration reported here.   I have a 2024 Silverado with 6.6 duramax.   I’m noting the same vibration resonating up through the steering shaft into the steering wheel.    Best way to describe- like someone is tapping on the steering shaft/components and it’s resonating into the steering wheel.    thanks.

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.
