Looks good! How long have you had it installed? Any rake still?

About 2 months, haven't measured to be exact but looks really level

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.

Just wanted to drop a post and give you the details. I threw the Rough Country 2" level on the front of my 2016 Sierra 1500 z71. Then went and picked up a set of 275/65/20 BF All Terrain TA KO2s. No rubbing.. would potentially rub the liner with the wheel cranked to the left if I was hitting some good bumps (think I will do the zip tie approach some others had mentioned before) I would have liked a little wider tire and also kind of liked the Cooper STTs but since it's my daily driver I chose to go with a smoother tire that should wear better and keep noise down.

Picturess may be out of order but I went from 36/40 to 38/40 so its not perfectly level but I think it's where I want it.

The front seems stiffer going over speed bumps etc to me but nothing on my truck is really broke in as it only has 2k miles. I also added the bigger LT tires that replaced the soft stock tires so it was all to be expected. Outside of over the bumps it still feels fine to me cruising down the road.

I went to the dealer today just to see how warranty would be affected before I purchase a 1.5" level and 275/60/20 ko2s. He told me it won't affect it unless it's a wear item caused from the level. Can they not just say it was caused from the level? Then when I mentioned bigger tires he said he would be more nervous of the bigger tires hurting my warranty since I'm only running 265/70/20 right now. He then called me after to say he could program my truck for 275/55/20 even if I put on 275/60/20.

Just interested to know should I just stick with the 55 to not cause misery or just go with the 60s on a 55 program?

I'd way rather the 275/60/20

Also does this sound right about warranty or should I try another dealer?

Sorry I'm only running 265/70/17s now

Hello from Vancouver Island, opposite end of the country!. The warranty will not be an issue unless they can prove your changes caused the problem. I plan to have my dealer install my 1.5 level and new tires to reduce the opportunity for them to play the blame game. I am hearing that this size of level is pretty harmless. However, I've chosen to stick with 265's as my climbing ability (and that of my peer group) is deteriorating!

I had my dealer put on my 2" level and 275/70/18's
I'd say thats a decent way to go if you want to alleviate future issues with the dealership.

The worst is I have 2 shops that are within 10 minutes of my house that will do the work for 200$ less. Or drive over an hour to my dealer for more money lol. But if it will save me trouble its the route I will likely take. I may contact dealer and get all my work done at the shop near my home, then go down and get it aligned and speedo calibrated at dealer.

I talked to my dealer about installing a leveling kit just so if I had any future issues they would be the ones that installed it. When I asked them if they install them they looked at me like I was crazy.

      The Peckish Synapse

      There's some truth to the above, but also, she's selling fullsize trucks and bread/butter CUV's like hotcakes, meanwhile, extracting GM's pickups from the deep discounting sales game.   GM's stock has held its own during her tenure, and the more recent buybacks are delivering cash back to investors and signal confidence in their direction forward. Even with the EV losses.   GM is an example of a modern publicly traded company. The #1 goal of any publicly traded company is to deliver the most value possible to shareholders. Despite being a car company, building the best car isn't GM's path to delivering maximum shareholder value.   McDonalds doesn't make the best burger, or the best coffee.   I've mentioned in another thread, I really don't / won't ever understand Cadillac or Buick in a modern context. Both brands are completely dead to me. I'll cede that the Escalade is a nice SUV, but the brand and nameplate mean nothing to me, and GM will never persuade me to pay north of $170k for a gussied-up Tahoe or Burb. Other people don't mind doing that and that's their purview.   The C8 shares absolutely nothing in common with any other current Chevrolet or Corvette on the market. Since its introduction 8 years ago, it's developed quite the following. It did what other Corvettes couldn't do: reduce the average age of its buyer. GM has something there, and I see them investing in the car. They'd better not mess that up.   We've successfully derailed Grumpy's thread again, but I think this one is meant to be more of a random thought thread so a little wandering is probably OK.

      Sliding doors ftw   Also, Sienna ftw as well.  The in-laws got a 2024-2025 recently when their 2019 sienna was totaled due to a deer back in June.  They've been getting 38-40mpg on the 65mph highway they live on.

      07 yukon xl 6.2 stalls at hot idle and wont restart

      By xdieselmechanic · Posted

      Forgot to mention that this started after changing the oil I use mobile 1 full syn with mobile one filter but I did add pro lube additive and was the first time doing so and is making me wonder just can't see why that would matter

      07 yukon xl 6.2 stalls at hot idle and wont restart

      By xdieselmechanic · Posted

      I apologize for long post put going to try to explain everything. Parts replaced so far: Cam sensor Crank sensor Cam phaser valve Cam phaser solenoid Fuel pump Maf 1 injector Pcm Pdm   So about 2 weeks ago coming off the highway my 2007 yukon xl with the 6.2 stalled and would restart. Had unit towed back to house and I messed around with relays and unit started. Drove it the next day and same thing. Had it towed again. Scanned unit and had code p0300 with misfire data showing mainly cylinder 7 but I know that won't cause a no start. Measure fuel pressure and found only 42 psi replaced pump to have unit stall again and not restart. This time I stayed on back roads and just waited for it to restart about 30 to 60 min. During this time I found I have no injector pulse but have good power at injectors. Started unplugging 1 injector at a time and found when unplugging cylinder 7 pulse came back so i changed injecto and same issue. Turns out unit just happen to ready to start at that time. Scanned into unit and found no reason for the pcm to take away injector pulse so I replaced the pcm and same issue. I figured timing sesnor controlled the injector pulse so I replaced both sensors and while I had the water pump of i replaced the vvt components while i was in there. Read multiple people have luck chaging the maf for this issue so I changed it. Unit still stalls to this day and loses injector pulse on the ground side when it does. Have noticed watching the live data the pcm is request injectors to fire via injector pwm value. I have redone the ground wires at the left bottom of the block knowing this was the ground location for the pcm but still no luck. I am a mechanic by trade but this is having me pull my hair out. If anyone has something to have me check I will gladly im not much of a parts thrower but im about to load the cannon

      auto mechanical driver's door unlock without pressing button? [2026 Silv. 1500 WT 4WD RC SB 2.7L]

      By newdude · Posted

      Actually.  Wait.   I just re-read your original post.  Are you talking from INSIDE the truck you have to hit unlock?  Or from the key fob?  I had assumed from the key fob.   IF you are talking the inside unlock button, I assume you are shifting to park and its not unlocking the doors?  If so, that is changed via the settings page in the radio.  Go to SETTINGS, then VEHICLE and then it should be under LOCKS or DOOR LOCKS or something like that.
