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.

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By Keith179 · Posted

      I’m out of ideas on this truck. 2020 Silverado 1500. 5.3 135,000 miles. Has a p0308 and p050d codes. Smokes From exhaust when cold. Compression test passed. New plugs, wires and coil on cyl 8. Same issue. New coil on 8, no change. Replaced injectors, no change. Bore scope showed oil pooled on the piston after sitting overnight. Pulled head and had machine shop check it out. No cracks. Stem seals looked good, replaced anyways. He also ground valve seats. Put it all back together and still have the same issue. Bore scope shows oil on the piston again. Leaning towards maybe a cracked ring but unsure. Cylinder looked good when the head was off, no scoring or scratches. Any ideas on what else I should look for?  Appreciate the help

      2021 Silverado 2.7L – N232395310 – Can someone with GM dealer access check my VIN?

      By HeronLeal · Posted

      Just want to make sure it is covered by Special Coverage N232395310 Evaporative Emission Purge Pump 2021 Silverado 1500 Custom 2.7L L3B ~100k miles I'm getting DTCs P146B and P146F. VIN 3GCPWBEK2MGxxxxxx   I spoke to a person that works at GM and he said it is not covered after checking my VIN.   Is there anyone here who currently works for a GM/Chevrolet dealership and has access to GM Global Warranty Management / Investigate Vehicle History who could explain how the VIN eligibility is determined?   thank you

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thanks for all that information, I might purchase one and see if it will work for me, if not they may let me return it! Yes for sure the tires are definitely within limit for my truck empty, and when I do tow I'll definitely make sure to raise the rear psi for the amount of weight that's going to be on it.

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes exactly, more and more these days people/companies are afraid of liability issues so its easier just to say no rather than risk putting their neck on the line.    I will say with the Autel unit or when I used it last year on my truck, it wasn't like I could choose the 2025 model year or even the 2024 model year as that option was not there to manipulate the placard pressures but had to go back to 2023 or there abouts and then it showed up as an option, odd but that was how the software was then and I can't say one way or the other now as they throw out updates every so often. I still would talk to your tire dealer though to start with and they may do it for nothing but also they may have a comment on a better unit to purchase. All I know is that one of the large tire shops in my area happens to use these Autel units for their use and set them up to use the wifi and all of that jazz for constant updating because each tire tech has one handed to them by the shop but I just plugged it into my laptop to update it and yes if one is bought it has to be registered so you can get the link to do updates and then the unit has to be updated before its even used. I am not at all techy so it took me a bit but anyway just a heads up for anything you buy, most likely it will need to be connected to a computer to access the internet to have it updated to the latest software version before you can put it to use.   If your truck is near empty, those tire pressures you listed are a very safe upper range pressures to carry the weight, both the front and rear as I know they could be run lower yet with an empty truck. And if its a trailer and not some motorcycle your going to strap onto the front of your truck on a rack, you shouldn't have a need to inflate your front tires if your at 55 front already, its the rear ones that would need more air if you have much hitch weight.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thank you, I'll check that Autel scanner out and see if it will work for me! Ya I can see GM's point of view if they lower the psi set value for someone and the person sell's the truck and the new owner puts the factory tires back on then their could be liability issues cause the psi warning light wasn't coming on when the tires were under inflated for towing their load and then it might be able to be traced back to GM lowering it.
