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

Will this set up rub the sway bar?

Bilstein 5100's are in my truck! I think they look awesome and the ride is so much better than stock. With my old shocks, I'd get a jarring feeling when I'd hit a pothole or sharp bump in the road. The 5100's definitely smoothed that feeling out. I really need to get them on the rear now.

 

I will post pics and measurements when I get a chance.

 

On stock tires the front measurements were 36-1/4" and 36-5/8" before 5100's.

What setting did you go with on your shocks?

Hey guys, I've been contemplating what size wheel and tire to put on my 2015 Silverado. I have a RC 2.5 leveling kit but im scared to get a tire and have to trim a lot. I want to put a 20x10 with a -24 offset and either a 305/55r20 or 285/55r20 BF Goodrich Ko2. Can someone give me some advice on which one to go with?

have you thought about a 305/50/20 or maybe a 295/55/20?

I have, but the that tire only comes in the 285/55 and 305/55, I have seen posts on custom offsets where people have fit bigger tires on that wheel but i dont know if i can trust that.

there are other good all terrains out there besides the BFG. Personally, i like the General Grabber AT2 over the BFG, but i didnt check what sizes they offer. May want to look into Nitto Terra grapplers or Toyo Open Country AT's. I have Nitto's and am happy with them.

Hey geswek. Which level it did you use. Any track addition or still stock

I went with Motofab 2" block under strut--nothing more; still on stock Z71 Rancho shocks.

 

Rides just like it did before lift--rigid enough that I enjoy it. :)

Ok; so mark the 12-o'clock and then rotate it clockwise one whole turn? Clockwise lowers and counter-clockwise raises?

That's what I did and I don't seem to be blinding people now.

I went with max height setting on the shocks.

 

Measurements are as follows:

 

Before Lift

Front left = 36.25" Front Right = 36.625"

 

After lift

Front left = 38.25" Front Right = 38.5"

 

This is still with factory Goodyear SRA tires. I will be adding BFG KO2 275/60R20 in the next week or so which should add another 1/2" to those heights.

      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.
