Where are y'all buying tires after leveling your trucks? I spoke to 4 Wheel Parts (yes, I know that stink) and they were extremely adamant that 275/65/20 would not fit. I do not believe them due to the countless members on this forum that are running them. They looked at me as if I was crazy and said they would require a lot of cutting.

 

Just trying to find a store that will mount bigger tires.

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

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.

On any of the new body GM's you can put a 60 dollar 2 inch leveling kit and put on a 295/55/20 tire with ZERO trouble, iv got Nittos on mine in that size and haven't trimmed anything and haven't made any adjustments to fenders or anything, tell them just order the tires you want and if they feel like they don't want your money there's plenty of other tire shops that do

I know this question is asked all the time... And will probably get brushed under the rug... But I just want opinions on what tire size is best for fit, looks, and price for the truck. I was heavily involved in the car scene and decided I wanted a truck and there are a lot more factors that come in play with trucks. I bought a RC 2" leveling kit for $49 and I am installing soon. Won't be buying tires until I have the kit installed. I really like the look of the 33" toyo MTs but can't convince myself to spend the $400 a tire. I like the longevity and reviews of the ko2 but want a more aggressive look. Any opinions or input? In all reality... I drive city and highway and don't really NEED a mt tire or really NEED 33s, but like the same aggressive look. I will be using the stock 20" LT rims that came with the truck

I have to KO2's and really like them. Once you get them on your truck they look more aggressive than you would think, and for highway driving they are really quiet.

I had a coworker install my 2.5 Rough Country kit today. I can not figure out if he installed the top spacer. I am measuring ~38.5 in the front and ~39.75 in the rear. I have also attached a picture of the threads of one of the top bolts. Does it look like the top spacer is on there?

Looks correct. You can't really see top spacer, as its thin. Also there would be threads showing if it wasn't installed.

I am currently in the process of deciding what rims and tires to get for my truck as well. I installed a 2" Zone leveling kit, and I am going to get 20x9 Fuel Hostage, and I finally decided to go with the Deegan 38. It has an aggressive look and is under $300 per tire, plus reviews are great for on road, off road, and in the rain and mud. i also like the look of the toyo MTs but the price puts them out of the picture. Good Luck

just got my Silverado the other week. this past Saturday night my neighbor and I installed the rough country 2.5 kit along with the new wheels. started around 8 finished at midnight. We took our time and enjoyed some silver bullets during the process. Love the result, exactly what I was looking for. seemed like a quality product and install was fairly easy. I have been wrenching on muscle cars since I was 15 ( currently 31) and this was my first "lift/level kit" had a few beater trucks in the past, always wanted a nice Silverado but could never ever live without a GM V8 car. finally got to a point in life where I could have both!

Anybody out there have or know if the Weathertech mud flaps will work with 275/65/20's on a 2.5" level ?

Thanks

 

I'd like to know this as well. Judging by pics it's gonna be really close, I have these mudflaps and am looking at putting the exact same size tires on.

      Higher oil pressure after DFM shut off

      Thanks!  I figured as such; GM and other manufacturers have used standard parts and harnesses across trim levels and such for decades.  I pulled the blank accessory cover off of my commuter van (a 2016 or so Chevy 15-passenger) years ago and found the plug for a USB outlet.  It wasn't connected to anything, though (I tried swapping in an outlet from another van).  I was a GM Tech years ago (late-90s) and was pretty familiar with my 2006.  I might be wrong, but I view newer vehicles (pretty much anything made in the past 20 years) as being a lot more plug and play.  Meaning, more unused wires and plugs unless you have the Mack Daddy of vehicles.

      not all plugs will be used.  gm uses more generic harnesses that support most/all options, and if your truck doesn't have a specfiic option, the plug won't be used (commonly will have a dummy insert in the plug , or it'll be taped up, but some may just be left as is).  But it's sldo possible some p.o. has installed the wrong/cheaper parts that aren't correct for your vehicle...

      First off, I'm not trying to just get easy advice/fixes for the issues I've noticed so far.  I'll be combing through the site via searches and such, and if past experiences are any indication, should find what I need.  For the sake of conversation, though, I figured I'd post the handful of things I've noticed in the 12 hours since buying my 2010 SLE CCSB.     Indicator lights: Airbag and TPMS.  The tire pressures aren't reading for any of the wheels, so I'm pretty certain the sensors were either removed, are damaged, or are otherwise inoperable.  I used to mount and balance tires 25 years ago but am pretty much ignorant when it comes to TPMS.  My 2006 didn't have the sensors and this might be the fourth vehicle I've owned that does.     Radio: Rear speakers aren't working.  I removed the driver's side rear door panel and checked the speaker and wiring.  I also removed the sill and b-pillar covers to check the wiring.  A few minutes of Google Fu showed that this is potentially a head unit issue.    Switches: Power mirrors don't turn left/right.  I ordered replacement driver's door switches that should arrive tomorrow.  The windows and locks work but it was only about $20 for all of them.  The driver's side rear window switch lets the window down but won't put it back up.  I think the passenger rear doesn't work at all.  In the coming days/weeks, I'll break out my multimeter to check all of that.   Unknown wiring harness: There's a box attached to the front driver's side of the engine compartment, right where the second battery shelf is located.  There are three plugs, one of which looks like it fits a standard headlight-style bulb (9007 or similar).  It doesn't look like it's plugged into anything.  I'll do some digging and if I don't see anything elsewhere on the site, post some pictures here.   Unknown plugs on brake booster: There are at least two female plugs on the brake booster that aren't being used.  I think it might be a replacement/aftermarket, so maybe those are used for a different application, as there don't seem to be any unplugged harnesses and no indicator lights are on.   Little squeaks when turning: Sounds almost like a bushing around the bed of the truck.  I'll have to pay close attention as I get more familiar with the truck.   Clunk on acceleration: possibly the infamous drivetrain clunk.  My 2006 had it and I'm just not familiar enough with this truck yet to fully grasp what it is.   Anyway, my apologies for the vague and all over the place post.  This truck is new to me, and it's been four years since I drove my 2006.  With 200k miles, I know I'll need to learn this truck quickly to avoid having any major issues, despite being confident it's got much more life to it.  My 2006 had nearly 320k on it when I parked it (nearly 300k of which I put on the truck), and it was still drivable then, though I suspected the head gasket might have blown.  I'd hoped to have that truck back by now, but it's gone forever, as I detailed in my reintroduction thread.
