Thats the best I have right now. They do sling mud on the side of the truck, the only way I would do 0 offset is if I was going to do a bigger lift like a 3in or 4 in.

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.

To anyone who's leveled their trucks and had a clicking noise in the suspension, did you ever get it fixed? What was the fix?

I love that look! I have a 2015 Midnight edition and love looks of it. Why do you say a bigger lift with 0 offset? Rubbing issues? Also how do you like those tires? Sorry for all the questions but you are the only one who is running anything close to what i want. thanks.

I think that 0 offset on just a level sticks out a lot? I went with 12mm because I know I could always space them out if I wanted but you can bring a wheel in without a lot of work. As you can see they are just flush with the fender, I used to have some 275s and they set inside the fender a hair. As far as the tires I love them, its a new tire that Cooper came out with, Great road manners, not to loud, and they look awesome!

Looks great! How are the MPGs with this setup? Any rubbing?

With the 6.2, I may have about a .5-1 mpg hit running Nitto g2 275/65. I do have a slight rub on the passenger side when turning hard, just needs the carpet zip tied back. No rub on the driver side.

Thanks for all the help. I just ordered the 0 offsets with 295 60s. I'm looking for a little of the tire to be outside fender well. Ill post some pics when they get here.

If you want a little poke, 0 offset is perfect in my opinion. Same route I am going, except 285/70/17.

Looks great, black/silver is a good combo.

A wheel with -12 would stick out about another .5 inches, correct?

Exactly.

 

With spacers, my current setup is 20x9 -12.

Hey guys what's the likelihood for the rear axle to shift when installing new lift blocks? And if it happens, how do I fix it? 4 wheel alignment? Unless I'm seeing things it appears my passenger rear is shifted forward about 1.5" compared to the driver side rear after I put in new 2" blocks. At least that's what the tape measure is showing me. Thanks.

There are holes in the block and dowels where they sit.. If the installer didn't line them up correctly it's possible. They only go on one way. You would have to loosen the u bolts and position the block in correctly

      Thanks!  I figured as such; GM and other manufacturers have used standard parts and harnesses across trim levels and such for decades.  I pulled the blank accessory cover off of my commuter van (a 2016 or so Chevy 15-passenger) years ago and found the plug for a USB outlet.  It wasn't connected to anything, though (I tried swapping in an outlet from another van).  I was a GM Tech years ago (late-90s) and was pretty familiar with my 2006.  I might be wrong, but I view newer vehicles (pretty much anything made in the past 20 years) as being a lot more plug and play.  Meaning, more unused wires and plugs unless you have the Mack Daddy of vehicles.

      not all plugs will be used.  gm uses more generic harnesses that support most/all options, and if your truck doesn't have a specfiic option, the plug won't be used (commonly will have a dummy insert in the plug , or it'll be taped up, but some may just be left as is).  But it's sldo possible some p.o. has installed the wrong/cheaper parts that aren't correct for your vehicle...

      First off, I'm not trying to just get easy advice/fixes for the issues I've noticed so far.  I'll be combing through the site via searches and such, and if past experiences are any indication, should find what I need.  For the sake of conversation, though, I figured I'd post the handful of things I've noticed in the 12 hours since buying my 2010 SLE CCSB.     Indicator lights: Airbag and TPMS.  The tire pressures aren't reading for any of the wheels, so I'm pretty certain the sensors were either removed, are damaged, or are otherwise inoperable.  I used to mount and balance tires 25 years ago but am pretty much ignorant when it comes to TPMS.  My 2006 didn't have the sensors and this might be the fourth vehicle I've owned that does.     Radio: Rear speakers aren't working.  I removed the driver's side rear door panel and checked the speaker and wiring.  I also removed the sill and b-pillar covers to check the wiring.  A few minutes of Google Fu showed that this is potentially a head unit issue.    Switches: Power mirrors don't turn left/right.  I ordered replacement driver's door switches that should arrive tomorrow.  The windows and locks work but it was only about $20 for all of them.  The driver's side rear window switch lets the window down but won't put it back up.  I think the passenger rear doesn't work at all.  In the coming days/weeks, I'll break out my multimeter to check all of that.   Unknown wiring harness: There's a box attached to the front driver's side of the engine compartment, right where the second battery shelf is located.  There are three plugs, one of which looks like it fits a standard headlight-style bulb (9007 or similar).  It doesn't look like it's plugged into anything.  I'll do some digging and if I don't see anything elsewhere on the site, post some pictures here.   Unknown plugs on brake booster: There are at least two female plugs on the brake booster that aren't being used.  I think it might be a replacement/aftermarket, so maybe those are used for a different application, as there don't seem to be any unplugged harnesses and no indicator lights are on.   Little squeaks when turning: Sounds almost like a bushing around the bed of the truck.  I'll have to pay close attention as I get more familiar with the truck.   Clunk on acceleration: possibly the infamous drivetrain clunk.  My 2006 had it and I'm just not familiar enough with this truck yet to fully grasp what it is.   Anyway, my apologies for the vague and all over the place post.  This truck is new to me, and it's been four years since I drove my 2006.  With 200k miles, I know I'll need to learn this truck quickly to avoid having any major issues, despite being confident it's got much more life to it.  My 2006 had nearly 320k on it when I parked it (nearly 300k of which I put on the truck), and it was still drivable then, though I suspected the head gasket might have blown.  I'd hoped to have that truck back by now, but it's gone forever, as I detailed in my reintroduction thread.
