For those with the moto fab 2" level, did it give exactly 2" of lift. Also, where can the top 1/2" spacers be purchased?

Just ordered RC 2.5 leveling kit. Plan on putting 285/65/R18 tires and method racing double standard wheels. What offset will i need on the wheels?

There is a guy on here running method mesh 18's with the +18 offset and 295/70/18 tires.

here is a thread where he has some pics. Helped me decide on wheels, figured it might help you too.

Just bought a 15 double cab 4x4 with the 4.3. I want to level it and put 275/70/18 on it. Was wondering what kind of gas mileage I would expect to see. Stock I'm getting about 24 hwy. thanks

 

Here's my truck:

I've just ordered a 2016 1500 Denali.

 

I want to beef it up a bit, I was thinking the 3.5" kit from Rough Country and a set of 35x12.5x22 cooper SST PRO's on stock rims (with 0.25" spacers if needed)

 

I guess the big question is will the 35's fit?

 

I had a 2014 All Terrain Leveled (2") with a tire that measured about 34" and there was no rubbing at all, so based on that I'm thinking it will clear but there is a lot of contradictory info out there. I'm looking for someone that has a similar set up.

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi Guys,

 

I work at the GM dealership here in Bahrain but I dont know much about trucks as I was a Camaro/Corvette guy, so all these measurements and offset figures are like Chinese to me!

 

I am looking to get the RC 2.5" lift kit for 16 Sierra All Terrain Dbl Cab (aluminium control arms). However I want to get the GM accessory 22" wheels with Toyo Open Country 33x12.5R22 tires. I actually saw one of the members on the forum with this setup, been looking for the post all morning and cant find it. But I have attached an image...
Will I have issues at full lock or off roading? Sorry for the dumb question but like I said I am new to the truck scene.

Life is full of regrets.. Buying bfgs isn't one of them!

In case anyone is looking for more data points on lifts, wheels and tires. I had a 2.5" Rough Country Level/Lift kit installed... and then installed 295/55R20 Toyo Open Country ATII Xtremes, with Fuel Maverick 20x9 Wheels in a +14. After having it done... I should have gone with the +1 offset... which would have stuck out an extra 13mm's, which is .5" inches. I would have loved to gone 305/55R20's... but I wanted to keep the Chevy mudflaps... and they would had to of come off. The 295/55R20's fit with an 1" to spare!

    • If what you are doing works, keep doing it:   4LO (Four-Wheel Drive Low) should only be used in extreme low-speed, high-torque situations such as deep mud, heavy snow, steep rock crawling, or extreme inclines/declines, and you must follow the correct engagement procedure to avoid drivetrain damage. Intended Use Cases Deep mud or snow where traction is extremely poor and you need maximum torque to get unstuck Trucks Only+1. Rock crawling on steep, uneven terrain forum.fullsizechevy.com+1. Extreme inclines or declines where you need to control speed and maintain traction solutionsphere.blog. Heavy towing in low-traction conditions (e.g., deep sand, ice) carclubsusa.com.
    • Hi,   I work a steep boat landing that has patchy blacktop going down the hill and soft sand/gravel at the bottom. Due to low water levels, it's not always possible reach the blacktop. I've had to help several people get out this year already and with fall coming, I'm anticipating more. I always use 4L. There was a gentleman there today with a 2500 HD (actually 2 - him and his son both have them) and they were trying to get his son's wake boat out. This gentleman swears that you should use 4H in the soft gravel. Says he was a farmer and you always use higher gear when stuck. I was wonder what your thoughts on this are? If I'm wrong, it would be good to find out before things get busy.
    • Looking for feedback from users of roll up aluminum slat bed covers who have had it for more than 3 years. I prefer the aluminum slat style over supported vinyl covers due to security and the capacity to support a light load. The slight loss of bed opening when rolled up is not an issue. Presently have BAK Revolver the "industrial grade vinyl overlay" on mine is shrinking & coming loose at the rear and on both sides in addition to cracking at some of the folding joints. Truck lives outdoors in NC latitude. Can't justify the steep price to replace it with another one if that's the expected lifespan. Do you have a better alternative?
    • Thanks, your last sentence is the root of my problem, outdoors truck and southern latitude = UV overload. Looking at replacing with Rough Country powder coated aluminum slat roll up model. 
    • I’m looking at putting a lift in my 2024 gmc sierra 1500 elevation trim, has anyone had any luck with fitting a bigger tire under the rear for a spare?? Was gonna go with a 4 inch zone lift Also what wheel and tire size setup are you all running? Wondering if I can get away with keeping around the stock size a 33 inch, and just get some new wheels to have enough back spacing then I can just keep my original spare tire I have under the truck now.
