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

Question: I just received these today 20x9 with 0 offset 33/12.50 tires, and I don't get my RC2.5 level kit installed until Monday. This Friday I have an appointment at the dealership to have them road force balanced, and was wondering if I could get by the weekend with having the dealer throw them on for me. Would just be a little in town driving, and currently I have 22x9 +15 offset 305/45/22 tires and don't rub. Thanks

 

 

I would probably just wait until your kit gets installed and have them put the wheels & tires on. They're going to have to take the front wheels off anyways to put the lift on. Plus, you'll get the full effect all at once with the lift and tires!!

 

Take pics and share once you get it all completed, wheel/tire combo looks sick!

That's a good point! I'll just wait, thanks for the advice. I will put pics up Monday!

Cant do the install yourself. I did mine by myself with basic hand tools on the ground in about 2.5 hours its stupid simple. But ive done this stuff for years. Plus more complex builds and fab work but this is really straight forward.

Can i run a 295/55/20 on a 20x9 0 offset rim with just a RC 2" leveling kit?

I've watched the videos on the install and would love to do it, and could probably do it if I took my time. I just don't have the equipment to jack the truck and stands etc. I like the idea of the dealership accessories dept. doing it in case there are any issues later as well.

Has anyone measured their roof line before and after installation of a 2"?

 

Stock 15 Sierra All terrain, I'm trying to see if I'll still be able to fit in the garage.

I have a 2.5 level and can still fit into the parking garage at work. 7' clearance I believe.

Same truck with 2.5" leveling kit and single add-a-leaf:

attachicon.gifImageUploadedByTapatalk1431579154.380615.jpgattachicon.gifImageUploadedByTapatalk1431579169.759214.jpg

Still have a Zone 1.5" body lift for it too, haven't decided for sure if I want to put it on or not.

This looks really good! Could you please tell me what brand of levelling kit you used and also the brand of add a leaf? Is this all that has been done to the truck?

 

Thanks

Thanks, It has 275/60/20 BFG KO2's and I used a Top Gun Customz 2.5" leveling kit and a Zone add-a-leaf with the standard block.

 

I have since added a 1.5" body lift from Zone and 1.75" wheel spacers. If you do the leaf get some with the rubber pads on each end so they don't squeak, mine don't have them and they squeak. I can't hear it with the windows up but notice it at low speed with windows down.

 

I have a thread on the 'Vehicle Builds' section of the forum that at has similar pics at each mod.

      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.

      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.

      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.

      I had a boat for many years, never had a problem even with a 2 wheel drive 93 Silvy for 20 years. Good tires, proper use of the gas pedal worked.
