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.

Anyone with RC 2.5" kit getting a rattle or clunking? I've checked all bolts and everything is tight. This is in a 2016 Sierra

If it's the steel stamped A arm you are correct. If it's cast steel or aluminum you might have some options.

has anyone tried a 17x9 -12 offset wheel with 285/70r17, 305/65r17, or 33x12.50r17 on a 2015 GMC with a 2.5" RC level

ive removed the airdam and will be doing a replacement in the future but want to upgrade and gain some more sidewall and some width but not rub to dang much

not worried about trimming really but I use my truck for what its meant, off road driving, hunting, on the farm etc...

If you have the stamped steel, as I do on my 2016 all terrain just order the kit for the aluminum arms. The bolts are longer and need to be used on the stamped. I ordered a MotoFab and the bolts were too short for mounting the understrut spacer. After talking with a couple shops, I ordered the wrong kit. The only difference is bolt length. The standard cast arms use shorter bolts than the aluminum or stamped.

Nope its the Hydroformed lower arms, not cast...... sucks

You can run a spindle lift. CST suspension has them.

Socal Supertrucks has been installing quite a few on 2wd trucks.

Newby question, want to lift truck for some 305' on 20" stock wheels.

I own a 2016 2wd SLT crew.... don't think I need anything in back, but don't want rubbing in front, what do you suggest?

Sorry over 200 pgs to scan through

I am running 305/55R20 on stock rims and there is incredibly slight rubbing on the felt and on the control arm at full lock with a 2" level. Not enough for me to actually do anything about at this point.

 

That would mean there would be a lot more rubbing with the 12.5" width as the ones I have are more like 12"

Guys, I was on rough country's site and on the 2.5 level, it says NOT for 2016s with stamped arms. I called and asked about it and was told with 2.5, the stamped steel arms end up contacting the strut coil.

 

Then I saw that the aluminum kit works with stamped arms and rough country said that it works with the aluminum.

 

Now I saw on rough country under FAQ somebody asking about it, and rough country said there will be a kit made for stamped steel arms now.

 

I wonder if that kit will include new arms that better clear the strut coil? Does anybody have any info on this and did anybody run into issues with stamped steel arms on a 2016 and the 2.5 RCX kit?

Do you guys know if a 33x12.50 tire can be run on the Silverado with just a leveling kit?

 

I have been running 33x12.50s on mine for 50k mile now. put the 2" level and tires on when it had 900 miles. At full lock it will slightly rub the swaybar. I just ordered a set of 305/65r18 nitto G2s so we will see, but I anticipate the same results.

 

BTW... using the factory 18" wheels

      Breaking News!    I'm going to tell you that I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I told  you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I'm about to tell you on the other side of the break.  Then we're going to break. Then I'm not going to tell you what I told you I was going to tell you.  But I'll tell you something else that is Breaking News just coming to the desk that everyone reported on yesterday.  Then I'll tease a human interest telling I'll get to on the other side of a larger break. Then I'll tell you one item in 20 seconds and go back to an even longer break. Longest break of the night.  Then I'll tell you a fluff piece that takes 10 seconds and sign off into a three minute break while you wait for the next 30 minutes of rinse and repeat on the local news.    In al you'll get about 12 minutes of something, 5 minutes of which is worth hearing in a 30 minute show and 18 minutes of advertising at a sound level twice as loud as the news.    Of course you can switch to cable news and hear 12 different people tell the same four stories in much the same format as the Network News for 20 hours of which the majority will be advertising.  And four hours of late night Specials about things you wonder why you stayed up to listen to. Half of which will be repeats.....   OR you can go for a drive

      Audio Dampening and quiet

      By Afennell19 · Posted

      Did you ever figure this out? My 2022 Trail Boss, and now my 2026 LT did this from time to time.  I believe it was more connected to Android Auto and my phone being the cause. Maybe try going for a drive, sans cell phone.... and see if it happens?

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By Afennell19 · Posted

      I have a 2026 Silverado LT, the non bose as well.  Upgrading the door speakers is pretty straightforward. You could honestly go to walmart, or Auto Zone/ O Reilly and get a set of 6x9s for the front, and 6.5s for the rear. You do also have to get some adapters for each, but they are like $10 a pair on Amazon. Then some plug and play harnesses that are about $10 a pair on Amazon as well.  And I would also suggest a 10 pack of the Amazon Basics sound deadening. Slap that all around the speakers and on the open metal of the inside of the door. And your golden.   I am currently doing this with my Silverado. Although I am having a bit of trouble because I am snooby I guess and bought some Alpine S2 S69c's which are 2 way components and I am having to wire from the door up to the dash....  Having never installed speakers before, its taking me just a bit to get everything correct. But if you dont buy expensive component speakers, and just some $40-$50 door speakers. You will DRASTICALLY improve the sound over these stock paper cone junk speakers. I thought my Silverado had an issue with the radio/ sound for a while.  Come to find out.  The stock speakers are just THAT SH*TTY   I cannot wait to have some decent sound in the truck   What did you end up doing?

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By newdude · Posted

      Its all automatic based on yaw sensor data.  If enough incline is detected, it engages.   My recommendation though would be to disengage it before driving off and not let it auto disengage by touching the gas pedal.  The HD trucks use the same setup as prior years, the drum in hat park brake.  But now with an electric actuator.  If you drive off repeatedly over time, it can torque the park brake shoes and can also prematurely wear them out.           Electric console shift will set the park brake on flat ground too.  Pretty sure they've got it programmed to activate every time.
