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.

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.

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.

      Tire fitment

      By JakeD · Posted

      Yes your absolutely right, I been looking at the 4 inch BDS one and it acutely states you can use the stock 20’s just not the 17’s or 18’s, I also didn’t realize that with my 275/60r20 stock wheels I’m already running 33 inch diameter wheel setup lol so I can just run my stock wheels and tires atleast to start.

      I would expect that to be lift-kit dependent.  If the kit has interference issues w stock wheels, then the kit/manufacturer should indicate that somewhere.
