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

Looks like the stick out about an inch right?

 

 

So a +18 offset would suck it back in 3/4" correct?

 

(I work on a construction site, don't want rocks/mud and crap all over the side of my truck)

Stock is about +27 I think, so +18 would give it a lil pop!

It's about an inch.

No worries, I appreciate it.

Pictures as promised :)

 

So, at full lock, I'm about 1/2 an inch from rubbing the back, and 2 inches from the front. This is with a 2" Fox level, +1 offset Fuel Assaults, and a 275/60/20 BFG KO2. There's no way I'd be able to get a 275/65/20 without trimming.

I just ordered a set of Toyo Open Country M/T 275/65r20. I am installing a 2.5" RC level lift Saturday. I wonder why some have had very minimal trouble with the 275/65r20 while you have difficulties at 275/60r20....Hopefully the install goes smooth. This makes me a bit nervous!

If I had gone with a less aggressive offset, I'm sure I could've gone with a slightly bigger tire. There were two options available for the Fuel Assault wheels, and I went with the more aggressive one.

Oh, I understand now. I appreciate the explanation!

 

Ok, there's still hope...there's still hope.

Thanks! I would plan on keeping my factory AT wheels and their offset would be different than the Fuel's. I'm assuming I'd have a little more room to play with, with the different offset.

Oh I agree. I'm pretty sure there are a few guys on here that went with the 275/65/20 on stock wheels. I believe the offset on the AT wheels is +27.

I kept stock AT wheels and went 275/65/20 on a 2.5" level. I did rub the carpet wheel liner but after zipties no rub

Got the front level on and the tires (Toyo Open Country M/T 275/65r20) today. Ran out of time due to family things. Putting the rear blocks on tomorrow!

Will I have problems with a 20x10 -12 offset wheel on a 2 inch level and 33x12.50 inch tires? I'd even consider a 305/55/20.

 

I've looked through this thread a couple times and I don't know if I've missed the info.

      Some Assembly is Required

      Common Sense Assembly   Your driveline is forgiving of the occasional mistake. It will even often forgive the random serious blunder. But it will not forgive a continuous bad habit.      What? Not everything needs to be a five thousand word essay.

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.

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

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money".

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed, regardless of whether they are in warranty or not, or in the hands of the original owner or not. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?
