Here's another picture. As to why well I'm from California and here it's a style. What works for us might not work for others and what works for others might now work for us.

The good ol California Baja cut.

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

It's going to be a daily driver as well, only pulling a trailer on some weekends. Just looking to level it for the rest of the time

 

You must have ordered the max tow for a reason - why do you want to muck it up ?

A 2 inch leveling kit would probably make it almost level unloaded. I'd probably do a 1" or 1.5" level if your planning on towing a trailer on weekends.

Rear didn't look any higher on mine. I went with the RC 2" fron tleveling kit with the additional 1" in the rear

So then you have a 2" block on the rear now then? You got any pic's?

I've been thinking about doing this, 2" in front, and a 2" block in the rear.

 

I have a 15' CCSB 5.3 NHT

To be totally honest I don't really NEED the max tow package but I plan on keeping the truck for a while so I wanted to be prepared. And I liked the idea of the bigger rad, bigger rear end and 3.73s. And the dealer was going to charge almost as much to put tow mirrors on a truck they had on the lot.

 

I do still want to level is and I'll just put up with a saggy ass end when I do pull a trailer

The tow mirrors alone are almost worth the price of admission. Towing or not - I do love mine.

I have better pictures in the leveling kit thread if you want to dig through there, look for the time around last summer

Finally got some tires on. 285\60r20 duratracs. I didn't think they would rub but they do on the sway bar at full lock. Going to put on .25 spacers to see if it helps.

 

Lift is 2.5 rc in front and 1.75 block in back. I'm thinking about going back to the stock block and putting on a 1.5 body lift but I can't decide

Hey guys new to the forum but been reading since september when i bought my 2015. Did the rc 2.5" "lift" level with blocks is all. Love the ride and height. Removed the airdam as well.

Im currently torn between 305/55r20 cooper st max or 17x8.5 0 offset xd grenades black and 285/70r17 goodyear mtr w/kevlar

My question is what trimming will need to be done. I do a ton of offroad driving and quite a bit of that is alone and unafraid so i need some better grip vs the factory slick tricks.

Ive read my eyes tired. Help is apprecoated. Some nice rigs on here.

As far as Ive read, you will have no trouble with rubbing with the 17's 0 offset and the 285/70s. I cant speak for the 305/55r20's. I even went up an inch and I only had to pull the liners back with a zipty

Hi I have a set of 17x8.5 0 offset Method NVs with 285/70/17 Goodyear Wrangler MT/Rs. No rub going forward at full turn but slight rub going back at full turn. I now have the Fox coilovers set at 2.5 inch high. I used have the RC 2.5 inch kit. Same thing. Slightly more + offset or higher lift should help. Or do what Daniel says. I am going to do that.

Anybody use the Fox coilovers for their lift? Any feedback? I know they are more expensive than the Bilsteins, but which is the better way to go, if the price does not matter?

I have the 2.5 Fox coilovers and 2.5 shocks in the back. Street bumps feel almost nothing. I was going at 50-60mph at river washes in the middle of a desert. It gives you a precise handling at high speeds. Also, you can take the system off and take it to the Fox factory for an overhaul. It was very expensive but I decided to do it since it was going to be my first and last brand new truck in my life. I am getting more than I expected. Im sorry for my bad English...

      Scan Tool Recommendation

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I just bought this. A minimum for me but, I don`t work anymore and don`t want the heavy update costs of the higher end tools. You would have to make money with them.   https://www.topdon.us/collections/diagnostic-tools/products/artidiag-pro   Even this tool has a $250.00 update cost after 2 years.

      Scan Tool Recommendation

      By CamGTP · Posted

      I have an Autel, works great for what it is. Can't do some specific things because you need say the GM tool, VCDS for Audi/Volkswagon and others of course. But those times are few and far between for me.   The other tool I'd like to try one day is the new Topdon scan tools. Seen several video's on them and many youtube people review them.    I've never subscribed for updates or payed to do that stuff on my Autel, so I'm sure I'm missing out on some of the updates but I'm fine with that for now.

      Scan Tool Recommendation

      By AndrewF · Posted

      I am in the market for a bidirectional scan tool so was hoping someone can help point me in the right direction. There are so many options out there it is hard to narrow down which make/model to choose.   I have always done my own vehicle work so looking to maximize capability with the scanner. Ideal price is $1k or less but would be willing to exceed if it opens up significant benefits.  Currently my 24 2500 is the newest vehicle but also have a few mid to late 2010s Subarus as well.    It seems that the Autel MP900 has a decent amount of features at a reasonable price?

      Silverado 4500-5500-6500 are they still being produced? Would have sold better as GMCs as well

      By C/K Man · Posted

      There was talk over the last couple of years that the contract to build these trucks between GM and International would not be renewed.  International moved production of all their other trucks besides the companion CV model out of the Springfield plant some time ago when they opened their San Antonio plant.  That left Springfield only building the Silverado Medium Duty, International CV Series, and some Express/Savanna long wheelbase cutaways.  International also put the plant up for sale some time ago.  This all answered my earlier question as to why GM and International did nothing with these trucks since they were introduced, as they had basically become a market 'placeholder' with a finite life.    The Silverado Medium Duty/International CV trucks were interesting combination of a GM powertrain, electrical system, and K2XX Silverado cab with an International chassis that was supposedly designed for a step-van type vehicle they never produced.  They were manufactured in International's Springfield plant along with the IH MV series initially.  When first introduced, there was much talk that the Silverado Medium Duty/CV would eventually get a gasoline engine option along with other upgrades and GM and IH would work on a class 6/7 joint venture truck.  This was before VW bought Navistar out, after that happened no more was said.  Draw your own conclusions...   About the time talk started that the GM/IH joint venture was not going to be renewed, rumors started that GM would develop a new line of medium duty trucks themselves.  The story is the new trucks will be part of the next generation HD's due in 2028, and will still feature a 'straight rail' chassis design that the current medium duty has.  GM views this as a desirable feature that differentiates their truck from the competition.  A gasoline engine option is also expected.  As the current Silverado Medium Duty remains in production until September 2026 and there is still a lot of inventory available do not expect any official word for some time.   I believe GM remains committed to their successful partnership with Isuzu, and all the LCF models will still be available from Chevy Commercial dealers.  Isuzu is on the cusp of opening a new large plant in South Carolina and there is also speculation that this may result in new product for both Isuzu and Chevy Commercial dealers.
