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.

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.

      A little girl said her prayers every night before bed and she asked G d to watch after each person she loved. One night she forgot to pray for her babysitter and her babysitter died. A few days later she forgot to pray for someone else and they died. The next night she forgot to pray for her dad. The next morning her dad was terrified. A bus almost crashed into him. He almost fell off a fifty foot ladder and almost wrecked on the way home. When he arrived home, he said I had a terrible day. His wife replied, “You think you had a bad day? My aerobics teacher died during class.

      Nice! I had one here, once. The car dealer I used to haul for stopped by with it. That was over 10 years ago now. Those are SUPER rare these days, especially up here! Never even see them at car shows anymore.   https://postimg.cc/0rvcNZ1W

      I remember watching one of the auctions on TV. It just happened that they had two little red express trucks. My brother bought one new in 1979, still has it. So I hung on to watch them cross. The retro redone example brought more bids and went for more money than the original one did. My brother has redone his 3 times and raced it. He’s now in the process of making more tame for cruising.

      I always upgraded the suspension and steering components - bushings and ball joints, and had older cars that I could out-corner ANY modern car with. I used to be able to take my '78 Cutlass on off-ramps at stupid speeds and make the sharp MA corners without even squealing the tires. So much fun. My '72 El Camino must've had work done by the previous owner, since that thing seemed to handle even better than the '78.   I think the suspension & steering on the '72 was much more advanced than the '64, so that probably just made a good system even better.   I'm the same way with vehicles. I hate having to worry about the paint on my '93 W250 Cummins. I'm not used to that, lol.   https://postimg.cc/mzKr55sY

      BEAUTIFUL!! That a Cutlass F85? Or 442? My side-ID skills are lacking thanks to failing memory, lol. Love that color & year, too!   Yeah I was never big on entering my own stuff, but I always liked seeing what everyone had, the rare models, and what's been modified. That was always fun. These days I have barely enough time to do what needs to be done at home.    Oddly enough, here in MA there are more car shows than ever in history! You'd think up here it would be dead, but it's bigger than EVER!          Took the 940 for its maiden voyage with the carburetor. At first I couldn't get out of the yard! This originally had the "Bosch" system (our other 940 has Regina - single fuel pump in fuel tank, and space-age-looking ignition coil on driver's fender) - that has dual fuel pumps. One in the tank, and one under the center left of the vehicle. I had unplugged the external one thinking I wouldn't need it with the carburetor ... but the way I have the pressure regulator hooked up, 90% of the fuel volume is going back to the fuel tank, so cranked all the way down, the regulator is only supplying a hair above 3.5 PSI to the carb. Turns out the in-tank pump (15 PSI alone, instead of 45) couldn't handle the load. Plugged it back in and went for a rip. Ran great!   Throttle response is always amazing with carburetors. ZERO delay that no FI system can reproduce. Also fires up in half the crank rotations as before. Low end power was DRAMATICALLY improved. There was an ongoing lean issue with the FI that I got tired of figuring out, so this is a MASSIVE improvement! Above 50 MPH on hills it feels SUPER weak, though. This is more than likely due to the timing not being advanced enough by the computer, since it believes there are multiple failures. I can live with that through the winter. Will keep me from passing slowpokes where I shouldn't and getting speeding tickets at least. 😁
