Wanting a leveling kit for my 2015 and didn't know what I should go with 2" or 2.5". Also with a 2.5" do you have to go with blocks in the back and if so would it void your warranty?

The 2.5" Rough Country level comes with a block for the back and it shouldn't void your warranty

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.

Does anybody have torque specifications for the suspension components that are affected with the 2.5" RC level?

 

Also, has anybody used the unlimited alignment from Firestone?

I never had good luck with Firestone here. Maybe due to my car being lowered. Lol

Do I have to install the rear blocks if I go with the RC kit.

You do not. There are many people on here that are only running the front. You can also call Rough Country and buy just the front pieces for the 2.5" front lift.

If it helps any I have the 2.25 inch procomp front only and I sit just a smidge higher in the front. Can't tell by looking but the tape doesn't lie. I know results may vary but on my truck 2.5 would have been noticeably nose high.

It really just depends on how you plan to use your truck. If you plan on hauling or towing anything of considerable weight I would definitely get the rear blocks. I have Bilstein's in the front only and, when I was hauling my buddy's rzr the ass end sunk really bad. The rear blocks will help the appearance of this but I would look into other alternatives if I was to get a rzr.

Ok Guy's I'm at wits end here, I've got a 2015 GMC Sierra Denali 1500 4x4. I had a 2.5" level added to the front and the truck sits how I like it. Almost near level. I tow a boat often and the rear sags so I tried the Roadmaster Active Suspension to eliminate squat but not happy, it did not help at all or not enough to notice . Seems very bouncy. Was gonna go the Air Bag route but they do not offer a kit for a 1500 with Magnetic ride shock system. What can I do to the rear end to help? was thinking maybe a 2" block? add a leaf? The truck suspension seems to soft and I am limited on choices to to the magnetic shocks. Any good suggestions sure would help

Anyone with the RC 2.5 kit doing alignments after the install? Im hopefully going to install mine soon, just wanted to know if i needed to schedule a apt to get a alignment done.

Yes, I had my dealer install my kit and do the wheel alignment... because I care about my tires and want my 43K investment to preform at it's best.

Hey guys, I need some help on what tire size to run. 15' silverado crew cab. I have a 2.5 RC kit on its way in the mail. I plan i running a 20x9 +1 offset Fuel Maverick wheel. I want the lower offset so the tires sticks out a little bit. I like the look IMO. My question is what tires should I run if thats the wheel I go with? Been going back and forth between 295/55/20 and the 305/55/20, or should I just go with a 33x12.5? The two tires Ive decided on are Toyo MT/s or the Nitto Trail Grapplers MT. What do you guys think would be a perfect fit. If its possible I want to go with the larger tire but I dont want to deal with the rubbing.

 

I run the Nitto 295/55/20, they ride really good but they do make a little road noise as expected with a M/T the Toyo 33/12.50/20 is right at the same size, mine don't rub any and iv never cut or trimmed anything, I run the 2 inch leveling kit and have zero trouble, the best way to get the tires to last is rotate them every 3,500 miles, friend of mine gets 45-50k miles on his Nittos and that's all he ever runs, they're on a 2500 too, but he rotates them religiously

Decided to go with 275/60/20s on the KMC D2s 35 offset. No rubbing, ride height up front is roughly 39 7/8".

Finally got the leveling kit installed. I also installed some AMP powersteps with the plug and play kit. It doesn't sit perfectly level though, it's a 2.5" RC kit.

Did you install the rear blocks with the kit? Are those the stock tires in the picture? I'm wanting to order my kit now, just trying to decide on what tire to buy.

      With large equipment or deep mud it is more of a use the higher gear to avoid spinning tires, getting stuck because of spinning tires and doing damage to your machine. The idea is if you run out of torque before you spin tires you can still downshift for more torque. If you are just spinning your tires in the lowest available gear you are stuck and things break.   Automatic transmissions, traction control and electronic transfer cases change the calculation a little as you the driver have less control over each piece.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.
