Any rubbing with that size tire? I'm looking at doing the 2.5 RC on my stock 18's as well. Was thinking of the 275/70 18s

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

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!

Let's see

At first glance that looks like a 2500. Looks good.

so to make a long story short..ive wore my eyes out reading the headlight threads already..now onto leveling it.

 

which kit is a front leveling only that isn't just reaming down the torsion bars or wont have the upper control arms hitting the frame at full extension. I have a 15 crew 2wd. sle. just like it to be level ..maybe even by removing a rear spacer?

thanks

Hey guys I am trying to go for this guys build (link below) although maybe a little less aggressive tires (ill take suggestions I want an off road look but don't want damper daily driving, because its really never gonna go off road just like the look). Also is there any difference between the 2014 1500 high country and the 2015 high country?

No torsion bars on these trucks. Cheapest option and what your probably looking for any front spacer kit, try Motofab, Rough Country etc. They are all pretty similar. Either a top or bottom spacer, some are a combination of both once you go above 2.5ish inches.

 

Next option is Bilstein 5100 leveling shocks.

 

Most expensive is Fox, King coilovers etc.

No mechanical difference for leveling, wheels etc 14 to 15 that I know of. Id just copy what you see there. As for tires those are MT(Mud Terrains) if you want less aggressive go to an AT(All Terrain). Most popular are BFG KO2, Toyo Open Country AT2 , and Nitto Terra Grappler.

thanks..spacer kits are easy enough

Removing rear block is an option as well. Think I saw a 4wd guy do that somewhere on here.

So the suggestion (from the company) is to go with 305/55/20 BFgoodrich all terrains KOs on the 20x10 -24 fuel mavericks, everywhere I've read 305s aint gonna work with a 2.5 level?

I'm looking to do this exact set up. Feel free to post more pics. Looks perfect

Not the best, but at least it's not in the driveway. I love the final product.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By KARNUT · Posted

      More is cylinder deactivation. Kia-Hyundai Ive had 4. The warranty is the same 10 years 100K miles. My grandson drives the first one 05 Elantra GT. My wife drives the second one 2011 Genesis. The Genesis still performs as new and looks great. The Elantra looks rough. He’s not kind to it. The third was a Genesis coup. The fourth was a Santa Fe. Those were my daily drivers. I don’t keep them long. Kia is the same as Hyundai with the same warranty. I looked at the K-4 today. Too small, otherwise pretty good buy. Most of Hyundai and Kia’s have a performance upgrade.

      Oil Consumption

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Great question. Answer....depends. One the volume of the crankcase, the driver that will actually be using the vehicle and the amount it uses plus the distance expected for that next trip. Couple of for instances:   Wife is going to drive Dizzy to Moline and back plus a bit around town so say 500 miles on the day. I know from years with that SUV that around town and local rural it uses about a quart in 1250 miles. But on the Interstate and her at the wheel without her anchor nagging her she'll push it and it will drop a quart in about 800 miles. Hence, around town I wait to somewhere between a quarter down to a quart down. On her trip I'd top it if it was down a few ounces and hope for the best.    Have I overfilled one? You mean by adding before it needs a full quart I assume. No, not once after finding the true fill mark.  I know the dipsticks of everything I drive and add what it needs. I learn this by doing the first oil change a quart low. Run the motor for a few minutes. Let it sit over night. Check and mark. Then add half a cup at a time making note of the place on the stick. I add through the dipstick tube with a barbeque basting bottle. Give it a few minutes to drain down and check again.    A vehicle like Dizzy that uses this much oil will take a few quarts between 3K changes. I keep one in the vehicle with the bottle and a bag. (Mindful of it's fullness) Not a big deal and never makes a mess of it. There is no such thing as "multiple quarts' in my shop for any specific oil. There will be a maximum however of the number of different oils used over the fleet.     Dizzy holds a nominal 5 quarts. So the first fill was indeed over as it actually took 4.75. My vehicles are fit with Valvomax valves so I can meter an ounce on the drain if need be. Found her mark first crack at it. Never to be repeated.    Pepper uses none between changes so I don't keep a quart in that one. Straight up 6 quarts put her dead on the full line. Check it ever fuel stop. They will surprise you when they start using.    Raven holds 3 liters or 5.44 ounces over three quarts. I add 3 quarts and 6 ounces. That gives me 5 oil changes on my orphan quart.    Lawnmower holds about 3/5 of a quart. I don't over fill it to prevent an orphan. So yea, depends.

      185k on original 6.2L engine and 10 speed. 6" lift with 35" tires. Changed oil (Mobil 1 synthetic) when truck told me to. Original tranny with original fluid and no service or flush done. All highway miles. A/C compressor replaced at 155k. Oil cooler line replaced at 180k. Still daily driver. Love this truck.   This is my 3rd 6.2L vehicle (2008 Yukon Denali / 2018 Cadillac Escalade) with over 150k miles and no issues. Denali had broken motor mount at 100k.
