I'm running 276/65R18 Terra Grappler G2s that the dealer put on my truck when I bought it without a level....no issues. Some are running the 275/70r18 and the 285/65R18 without a level, but that would be pushing it.

I had 285/65/18's on mine without a level and it was fine, but it was really close to having to trim some stuff.

I have 275/70/18's with a 2" level on right now and haven't had any issues.

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

Funny, know one has tried this set up, maybe someone that has will chime in. Either way I plan on running an RTX rim, not stock. It's just it will likely be another few weeks too a month before I can post pics, I'm waiting for the spring weather too hit. Thing is I plan too purchase my set up this week.

 

Know of a guy running 2 inch on his Silverado as well with 275/65/20 and hasn't rubbed a bit since. I don't know much about this kind of thing, but figured an inch difference in diameter and half inch on the lift,things should equal out,maybe,lol

 

I'll post pics as soon as the snow goes and it's giving +8 Celsius tomorrow

Until then any info relating will be helpful.

Thanks

I finally got my 2014 last weekend and quickly realized that it needs a leveling kit. The center of the back wheel well measures 39 1/4" and the front is around 37". I'd like to find a leveling kit that doesn't mess with the back at all, anyone have any recommendations?

 

i recently just bought the 2.25 leveling kit from supreme suspensions on my 15 GMC Sierra 1500. awesome product

Is there a thread on 14+ leveled trucks with body lifts? I thought I saw one awhile back but I can't find it now. I'm ordering my body lift kit and would like to see some pics. Which should I get? I did see the Zone 1.5" but that the only one I saw.

I have one quick question. I'm wanting to install a leveling kit on my 2014 crew cab. I'm looking at the Rough Country 2 in. because it's on sale right now.

 

My question is is that all I need to level my truck? I'm new to the truck modification world just making sure I'm doing everything right.

I have the 2 inch RC level on my truck and I sit 3/4 of an inch higher in the back than in the front. Every truck is different but I am happy with the way mine turned out. I didn't want to be super nose high every time I put something in the back or pulled a trailer so it worked out well for me. Best way to get want you want in height is to measure your wheel well height and decide how much you want it to raise the front, then go from there. (1.5, 2, 2.25, 2.5 etc.) You will also have to get a front end alignment after installing any lift to prevent premature tire wear. Here's my build, hope this helps..

Also make sure you get an alignment after you install the level

Do I want the aluminum or the steel? Any difference in one vs. the other?

 

Well the option is there depending on if you have the aluminum or steel control arms. If you have a z71 it should be aluminum control arms. If your not positive go out and take a magnet off your fridge and see if it sticks or not (will not stick to aluminum). The only difference is the length of the bolts between the two. (the bolts for the aluminum control arms are longer) Hope this helps.

Anyone running the zone 2" level? I'm not sure how I feel about it not being metal. Also looking for some input on whether to go with a 2" or 1.5". I want a small rake still for when i do tow, but mostly level. From what I've read it seems like a 2" would be good, but I have also heard from some the a 2" made their truck slightly higher in the front.

I realize that this question has probably been answered in the 200+ pages of this thread but i couldn't find it in the 30+ pages i looked through.

 

I was wondering if i could run 295/55/20 toyo AT2 with fuel mavericks and 0 offset with no rubbing on my 2015 sierra crew cab with the 2 inch rough country leveling kit?

 

Or possibly the toyo MT on the same setup with no rubbing

So if I have just a regular 2wd I should get the steel?

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      By jake111 · Posted

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
