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.

2.5 RC level with 2" block. 33x12.50x20 Toyo MT

Looks great! Do you have a direct side shot? I have the same truck and a RC 2.5" front kit I'm going to install. I didn't opt for the rear blocks, so interested in what yours looks like.

 

How does it ride?

It rides great. I can feel the weight of the tires is the only difference. I'll post side pics in a few mins.

 

I think removing the running boards and front air valance really makes this thing stand out. Looks so good in person!

Dude that is so funny. I was debating that exact thing. But my running boards were expensive!

I don't have a pic of it on level ground yet. My driveway has a small incline to it

Love the air dam removed. I was contemplating removing mine, but then again read it helps MPG, and I drive this truck 40k miles a year, so I'll take as much MPG as I can get

I was wondering the same thing. Looks like on stock rims but sticks out quite a bit. 12.50s gonna rub UCAs and swaybars bad with +24 offset stockers.

Nope. No rubbing either.

I'll get a more direct shot down the side in a little while.

I think it was just the angle of the photo. The truck was angled downhill. But no spacers.

Just checked. U are right. Rubs at full lock. Although I wouldn't say it rubs bad at all. Just barely actually.

Check your clearances in front of the tire at your UCAs. I'd bet they hit there too. Have your wife hold it to full lock or bungee the steering wheel to full lock...you can't hurt the electric steering. You won't be full lock often, so it's not a big deal if it's a DD. It's the off-roading and especially towing that lack of clearance gets you in trouble.

 

Nice looking truck. I don't like side bars either but need someway to get into the truck!

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      My truck is a ¾ ton but my placard also says 80 for the rear tires, I think I might have the upgraded suspension to the 3500 series maybe.   I put my air down to 60 and the light was still on, and there was no way I was putting over 60 psi in the rear empty and not towing because I knew the actual number Toyo gave me and I didn't wanna ruin the center of my tires!   And you actually can change it in the settings from metric or is and it will show kph or mph then when you go into your tire settings it will be either psi or kpa, but it would be nice to just change it directly on the tire psi page

      Some Assembly is Required

      Common Sense Assembly   Your driveline is forgiving of the occasional mistake. It will even often forgive the random serious blunder. But it will not forgive a continuous bad habit.      What? Not everything needs to be a five thousand word essay.

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money".

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.
