2 inch RC level with 275/65/20 GY duratracs. Haven't noticed any rub, looks close to the carpet liner only.

I know this post is a month old already but I just came across it and I was actually thinking of doing this set up with my truck. How high does your truck sit now? Also, how off is your speedometer?

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.

I never measured the height of the truck but can do so later. The speedometer is off according to a tire size comparison website but never actually checked against gps. The calculator says at 40mph the truck is really going 42.8 mph. The faster you go the greater it is off.. At 70 the truck is really going 74.

I like the duratracs and am considering. Has your mileage been affected much by the level and tire swap? You're the first I've seen with the exact setup and size I want.

Not gonna lie , I haven't calculated the gas mileage. You can't go off the DIC anymore cause I've traveled further than it is calculating. I don't drive too far for work so even if it did suffer It wouldn't bother me much.

I have a 2015 Gmc Sierra 1500 All-Terrain and a 2.5" RC level kit on the front only. What is the biggest tire I can run? I'm sure it has been answered, but this thread is ridiculously long. I also have 20inch A/T painted rims. I was hoping for 275/65/20 or 295/60/20 but who knows. Thanks

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?

 

Im going to drop it off at the shop tomorrow and theyll take it apart again. Once they figure out whats wrong theyll do an alignment.

Traded my silver 2014 with 2.5rc and 295/60/20 for a red 2015. 2.5rc and 285/65/20 bfg ko2

I love your set up on the red truck. Are you close to rubbing? I am leaning towards a proComp 2.25" level with these tires. I may go with 2.5" level if you say you are close to rubbing. I have the same rims as you. I found the ko2 285/65/r20 tires for $1270 delivered which seems reasonable. I guess I could add a body lift if these tires end up rubbing. Thanks for your time!

 

Another general question....

Are there typically some pretty good deals to be had on tires on Black Friday?

I have not had them rub but I think they are really close. I only have 1000 miles on them and zero off road miles. I am very happy with them.

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.

I used the Bilstein 5100's on my truck and really like them. I know most ppl on here go with RC 2 OR 2.5" or similar route but, it's just personal preference. I've also heard that the Bilstein's are backordered almost everywhere.

RC 2.5 in front, 1.75 block in rear

 

Where did you get the 1.75" rear block? The RC website lists the block in the 2.5" kit as a 2" rear block. Does the kit actually contain a 1.75" or did you use a different block?

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
