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.

This afternoon I parked near a truck very similar to mine at the local mall. The key difference is that this other truck was leveled and had wheels and tires that maximized the space in the wheel wells. The truck looked fantastic! It made mine look like I was sporting four portable spare tires! My stock tires are 255/70r/17 and I plan to go to 265/70r/17 Michelin LTX/MS when I have my level kit installed. I know there isn't much of a difference but it is a much more popular size (less expensive) and they are at least a little bigger! Is if there anyone going with a larger tire on a 17" wheel with a 6cyl 4x4 Crew and not experiencing huge increases in gas consumption? Maybe 285/70r/17??

Your truck looks great! Is this a 4.3 L and if so, what was the original tire size? Thanks.

I think you're talking to me? If so, thanks! It's a 5.3L.

OEM tire size is 275/55/20. I just wanted a little more. They're flush to the fenders/quarters.

I imagine you didn't experience any changes in your mpg with such a minor change. I am guessing that if I was to go to a 285 from a 255 with my 4.3 L it would be reflected in my mpg quite significantly.

Looks good. Which specific bilstein did you get? I'm assuming the 5100 adjustable ride height. The reason I ask, is because I've gone to autoanything and 4wheelparts and both say that the adjustable ride height shocks don't fit my 2015 crew cab 4x4.

I wanted to do the exact same thing. I got the Rough Country 2' level and put 305/65/18 BFG All Terrains on my truck. No rubbing at all - it looked great. So a 2.5" level should work great.

So you got 2" level running 305/65/18 and no rubbing at all? stock or Aftermarket wheels?Any chances you got pics?

I know they say they dont fit but they do. 24-238304 and 33-238319 are the correct part numbers

What are the differences between the two part numbers?

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By StingerZ16 · Posted

      I started with a folding cover by BAK PAC on my 2500. It went bad after close to 5 years. Bent and vinyl coming loose. Contacted BAK and they gave me a very good discount on a Revolver. Had it a number of years. Mostly outdoor storage. Some garage storage. Vinyl started to come loose. Still under warranty so they replaced to cover. Sold the 2500, bought the 1500 and got another revolver for it. Had it a couple years now and no issues. I store it indoors. Got a bit of discount when buying it as well. If you are seeing problems, contact BAK or real truck and let them know. Customer service was pretty good. But I think they changed their warranty.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I agree, there is no one answer fits all as every rig is different, one may be pulling some little aluminum fishing boat while another is towing a monstrosity that weighs a lot and hopefully the owner if the rig has some prior experience to know what drive mode they should choose.    It also struck me and this is from watching a few of those boat ramp escapades videos in the past, Ford being one of the vehicles that has the auto front axle hubs and sure enough its found out that one hub has crapped out and won't engage and may not have manual hubs to even select on both sides so they are on the boat ramp stuck with no four wheel drive and spinning .... they flat out need a tow to get up the ramp and deal with the vehicles new found issues. That can happen to all brands of pickup, finding out either four wheel drive or 4 low isn't working right at the time its needed it to work as some electronic crap has failed.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      Its possible you never had the joy of the crappy boat launches we tend to have around here or really some of them are just grades down to the river if its a river scenario and the conditions change all the time with the river levels and silt deposits. Some of the lakes we went to years ago, there was no such thing as a cement pad that went down into the water that the trailer stayed on, it was gravel maybe up to the water line and then duck crap much beyond that so sinking the boat tires into mud. Of course some of the more established lakes had a cement bar type boat ramp but sometimes it was covered in green slime closer and certainly within the water and a two wheel drive had all sorts of fun if one had to touch that slime with the rear tires.    A neighbor of mine had made a comment years back with his chev truck that was probably about the same year as yours but a half ton extended cab 4x4 and he a a fiberglass boat with an inboard so it wasn't a feather weight and he had gone out to one of the large popular lakes in the area and don't ask me how this happened but he was in two wheel drive as he figured he didn't require four wheel drive for that boat ramp and somehow upon pulling the boat out he twisted one of his drive axles. I suspect it must have spun and then grabbed on the cement ramp and shocked it to the degree of twisting it. He would have had the standard 8.5 or whatever it was axle housing as the 9.5 ring gear like my truck has also has larger drive axles as far as I know. Anyway he was feeling a vibration driving home and had it checked out and a shop found that the tire/hub was wobbling because of the axle had twisted so in went a new drive axle. After that bad experience he said he made sure to put it into four wheel drive to lower the stress on the rear axle. Of course that is where an HD truck can handle a lot more stress and no doubt these newer half tons with their larger ring gears probably have larger drive axles as well to match vs back in the day.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      Desirable - as in does someone WANT one, aspire to have one. Could reasonably buy any car they want and CHOOSE these instead.    I didn't watch the video, why did they win?

      The use of absolutes like "always" to describe gear selection, and giving free advice at a boat ramp sounds like a recipe for disaster. It's a boat ramp, not a farm, for starters.   IMO gear selection should depend on the obstacle. If low range is working and this is a slower speed, controlled ordeal, I'd keep using that.
