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.

Any of them should work. Rough country seems to be pretty highly used.

And stock tires are 265/65/18, yours are definitely bigger than stock.

They probably are 265/65/18. I was trying to go off the top of my head. From looking around online, it seems that the economical way to go is the lower strut spacer.

I don't think so....I originally bought the rough country kit. I asked my dealer what it would cost for them to install and about warranty, they told me they use pro comp bc it was gm certified lol....whatever that means. I took it as BS but bought the procomp and installed it to avoid any trouble down the road with them. Went in for an oil change and they asked was I there for my level. Told them no, I bought the pro comp since they said it was "certified" and installed it. They did like it tho lol.

My Denali has the magneride so I went to Lowes and purchased a 3/16 x 3ft aluminum rod. Cut it to the length I needed for both front ride sensors, pulled the ends off original linkage(press fit), pressed them on the new rod and installed back on truck.

No stacking of washers or make shift brackets and it only cost $2.

It looks 100% stock after I painted it black.

 

I installed a 2.5 level kit, the rod only had to be extended 5/8 of an inch.

My front suspension started making these clunking sounds when I go over bumps after installing the Bilstein 5100s. Has this happened to any else or is it just a faulty installation?

Check sway bar end links. Your comment appears often in the forums. Most usually someone didn't tighten them, or something else, enough.

Thanks! This fixed 90% of the noise. I retightened all the bolts and still get a little noise when going over bumps or when turning.

Did you retighten the ones in the middle of the sway-bar, as well as all the ones connected with the Bilstein install? They always say to recheck after some mileage.

 

Also, just a question... did you get your alignment, yet? Could they have left something loose?

Has anybody on here tried the leveling kit from Suspension Maxx, https://www.suspensionmaxx.com/store/product/SMX-GM725? It appears to be able to handle the Magnetic Ride Control with a bracket as well as being adjustable. Price seems great too.

Yes I installed the Suspension Maxx Kit on My 15 Denali 4x4. Great kit and zero problems. I have magnetic ride shocks also. I suggest if you go with this kit only level up 2" on front or you might have to add rear block kit. I went with 2.5" up front and now need to do the rear,- or drop front to get the up rake taken care of.

Awesome. Mine comes tomorrow. I was going to start with the 1.5" and see how it looks. I still use my truck for "truck stuff" like camping and a couple of dirt bikes so I don't want the rear to sag too much with some weight in the back. Don't really want to block it either.

 

How was the install? Looks pretty straightforward, any gotchas?

I would like to raise the front of my 2015 GMC Sierra 4x4 SLE. But I'm not sure to install a 1.5"level kit from ready lift or install shock Bilstein 5100 height adjustable. Please help me to make a decision.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      Why don't I have a good scanner? I've always wanted one when I've needed one.   My latest reading says I don't need to do a relearn on the ckp sensor on a 1995 with OBD 1.5. The relearn is prescribed for the later-model 1995's which shipped with actual OBD II when GM completed the transition in prep for the 1996 MY. I need to confirm that. Did you know forums are disappearing? Knuckleheads on Facebook... it's not the same. It's just not.   So, scanners. Again, shooting myself in the foot for having eBayed my Snap On MT2500 "brick" with all the adapters. Not that I couldn't buy another but those are getting quite old, and mine wasn't new enough to work on 2000's vehicles.   Damn it (as I'm scanning my email between paragraphs here). Did you know there's a 2000 Jimmy 2-door on BaT that's ending this morning? It's local. I want it. 14k miles. Absolutely beautiful.   Back to scanners. MT2500's are old. Solus, now that could be a contender. There's a ~2008 Verus with a system error that's basically new in box for cheap. Hmm...I'm not sure about a scanner that runs an archaic version of windows (95 or CE, I can't tell).   I want the ability to reset and rotate TPMS, test individual modules, bleed ABS, electronic parking brake controls for servicing brakes, relearn procedures and other bidirectional controls.   Snap On does an MT2600. It's a new model as of last year, marketed as their "entry" scanner. Entry? Only where $1900 gets you through the doorway plus, I'm guessing, $1000/year if you wish to keep it current. So goes scan tools actually designed for production environments. Want decent products with excellent support, you pay for it.   Everyone is raving about Autels and TopDons and Foxconns and all these newer brands that are selling the $500 "prosumer" scanners for backyard hacks like me. They're tempting...honestly. Updates are cheaper, base prices are remarkably cheaper... And you get to deal with bugs and translation whoopsies and, well, just don't use it on anything expensive, OK? Having a dealer replace an ECU because it needs to be re-imaged after an adventure in scanning is no joke. But I think most people are getting by OK with these units.   eBay on a scratch-and-sniff pro-model oldie, a shiny new TopDon, or???   God dang it, I can't stop looking at this Jimmy. I'm ready! I'll Bring The TRailer! It's beautiful.

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      I removed the OE running boards.  It looked so much better.  I wish I took them off a long time ago.     I had to put something back on for my wife.  I wanted Westin Sure Grip Running Boards but they are very pricey, like $600 plus.  I was going to go with the Ionic 41's like I had on the 2019 Silverado but went with Westin Outlaw Drop Steps instead, about $200 cheaper.  They are sturdy and functional but not super crazy about the look, but it works.

      Disable DRL's

      By fondupot · Posted

      I had a Gen5DIY DRL relocate harness from a 2022 1500 that I saved. I had Gen5DIY modify the harness for my 2024 Silverado 2500. Plug n Play, worked perfectly.    Here's a video I made for the 2022 1500 truck. The install is more or less the same on a 2500.    The harness relocates the DRL tot he top amber turn signal on my 2500.

      Can ask that about a lot of places.   Holiday sells 91 for $1 over 87 octane. BP 93 is 80 cents. Amoco 93 is 80 cents Kwik Trips is $1.20 for 92 or whatever they have and $1 for the 91.   I know that this is not exactly same as what you are saying with the premium to premium debate of those two stations but why is there such a difference. Top Tier this and that, it's all BS. All the fuel comes from the same damn refinery, so give me a break.
