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

Has anyone gone 295/60/20 on a 2.5" level and stock at 20s?

anyone know who or if it was possible to fit the 35x12.5 mud grapplers like the black all terrain had?

the 295/60/20 would be tight but you could do it with some trimming i'm sure.

 

I probably wouldn't go wider though if you're going that tall.

 

I don't have personal experience though. I am running 285/65/18 on stock wheels, not quite the same. Just going off of what i vaguely recall seeing on here.

Hey Folks

I have a 2014 Silverado LTZ Z71, crew cab. I recently installed a Zone leveling kit, 2 inches in the front, and stock suspension in the rear. Currently I am running 285/45/22r and hate the way they looks and for occasional off road performance, well, they suck.

I have been to an off road shop and they recommended running a 33 with 20" rims. I like the war that that looks but not sure how it would perform both on and off road compared to running a 18" with 33s.

I do not want to have them stick way outside of the fender because rocks will be thrown and chip the paint. I like the way that the fuel Hostage looks and it has good reviews. If i run a 18x9 I will have a lip that is almost 2 inches. With a 20x9 I will only get a 1.5 inch lip.

With either of this rims I want to run a Mickey Thompson Deegan 38.

Any advice would be great!

thanks

Just installed the Suspensionmaxx 1.5" level. Might go another 0.5 in the front as the kit can do anything from 1.5-2.5. Pretty easy install for just the 1.5".

295/60 on stock 20's is what most guys run to completely avoid rubbing. So you'll be fine. If you were to go to 305/55 then you would rub the sway bar at full lock, but still not enough to be a real problem. Many guys run that size as well.

Here's my 2014 GMC Sierra All Terrain with a 2.5" leveling kit from ebay. Summit Racing was the distributor, nice all aluminum construction but didn't give me a full 2.5" of lift. I've run 2.5" leveling kits on 2 different trucks before and they've all given me a perfectly level truck except for this one. Wheels are OEM All terrain replicas +27mm offset in gloss black with 275/65/20 Duratracs. No rub once I removed mud flaps. Thinking about adding 1.25" spacers to get everything perfectly even with fenders

So, after the 18" or 20" rim debate awhile back, I went with aftermarket 18" rims.

2.5" Rough Country level, with rear blocks.

TIS 535MB wheels, 18 X 9, with -0- offset.

Atturo Trail Blade MT, 33X12.50X18.

2014 Silverado 1500.

 

Pics to follow.......

Just picked up my truck from getting the RC 2" kit installed

 

 

Before Front - 36.50"

After Front - 38.50"

 

Before Rear - 39.25"

After Rear - 39.50"

 

Before lower edge of front air dam - 9"

After lower edge of front air dam - 11"

 

 

I might remove air dam still, not sure.

 

This is all with the stock 275/55-20 Continentals on original wheels.

 

I will be switching these out soon I'm sure. Love the look of it even more now. Still want it taller all around but dealer is threatening warranty issues if I do anything taller than this.

Local Chevy dealer is where I had the install done.

Did you do the 2.5" kit with a rear block?

No sir, I installed part # 1307 which is supposed to be front only, 2", for steel arms according to the website.

 

Here's my "After" pic. Needs wheels/tires BAD!!

That's a 35". I'm about to do 275/65-20 on stock wheels and that's a 34" and I'm expecting rub even though most posts on here say they fit.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By tararebecca · Posted

      I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By artistemorbidity · Posted

      I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.

      Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
