I have stock 275/55/20's and the 2" rc spacer and it rides just like it did before the spacer. Perfect amount of lift for a level IMO.

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.

theres a guy in my area with the 2.5 rc kit and hes running 285/65/20 with the stock 20" wheels. looks really good. does anyone else have this setup? any rubbing issues?

 

I will be running 20x10 with 305s I'll let you know. Quite a few other people have ran the same setup with barely rub on liner.

If I have the 2 inch leveling kit on my 2wd.......

Can I stack leveling kits on it and be ok scenes it's 2wd????

I have the 2 inch on the bottom which makes it level now but.... I wanna add the 3 inch on top of the coil and the 2 inch block in the rear and clear a wider rim this should only make the truck sit 1 inch higher in the front

i installed a 2.5" leveling kit and now interested in upgrading the shocks, I spoke with a Bilstein rep and he told me that he doesn't recommend installing Bilstein 5100 with a leveling kit. He said they do not have any shock for my application. anyone heard of this?

Finally got around to getting the RC2.5 installed on my truck.

 

Waiting on the new wheels to be finished getting drilled and then will take another picture.

Same setup I've had on mine for 28k miles (since new). Couldn't stand the low riding no ground clearance truck look. Removed the front airdam (valence) and the rear splash guards. Total change in look and height appearance. What wheels you going for?

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"

Can u post some pics? I want the same setup but I have +18 wheels. Do u have the g2 xl? How's mileage?

Mileage has suffered a bit. I would estimate ~2MPG loss.

What is the offset on your wheels?

      New to Me 2010 SLE (Quirks, Issues)

      Thanks!  I figured as such; GM and other manufacturers have used standard parts and harnesses across trim levels and such for decades.  I pulled the blank accessory cover off of my commuter van (a 2016 or so Chevy 15-passenger) years ago and found the plug for a USB outlet.  It wasn't connected to anything, though (I tried swapping in an outlet from another van).  I was a GM Tech years ago (late-90s) and was pretty familiar with my 2006.  I might be wrong, but I view newer vehicles (pretty much anything made in the past 20 years) as being a lot more plug and play.  Meaning, more unused wires and plugs unless you have the Mack Daddy of vehicles.

      not all plugs will be used.  gm uses more generic harnesses that support most/all options, and if your truck doesn't have a specfiic option, the plug won't be used (commonly will have a dummy insert in the plug , or it'll be taped up, but some may just be left as is).  But it's sldo possible some p.o. has installed the wrong/cheaper parts that aren't correct for your vehicle...

      First off, I'm not trying to just get easy advice/fixes for the issues I've noticed so far.  I'll be combing through the site via searches and such, and if past experiences are any indication, should find what I need.  For the sake of conversation, though, I figured I'd post the handful of things I've noticed in the 12 hours since buying my 2010 SLE CCSB.     Indicator lights: Airbag and TPMS.  The tire pressures aren't reading for any of the wheels, so I'm pretty certain the sensors were either removed, are damaged, or are otherwise inoperable.  I used to mount and balance tires 25 years ago but am pretty much ignorant when it comes to TPMS.  My 2006 didn't have the sensors and this might be the fourth vehicle I've owned that does.     Radio: Rear speakers aren't working.  I removed the driver's side rear door panel and checked the speaker and wiring.  I also removed the sill and b-pillar covers to check the wiring.  A few minutes of Google Fu showed that this is potentially a head unit issue.    Switches: Power mirrors don't turn left/right.  I ordered replacement driver's door switches that should arrive tomorrow.  The windows and locks work but it was only about $20 for all of them.  The driver's side rear window switch lets the window down but won't put it back up.  I think the passenger rear doesn't work at all.  In the coming days/weeks, I'll break out my multimeter to check all of that.   Unknown wiring harness: There's a box attached to the front driver's side of the engine compartment, right where the second battery shelf is located.  There are three plugs, one of which looks like it fits a standard headlight-style bulb (9007 or similar).  It doesn't look like it's plugged into anything.  I'll do some digging and if I don't see anything elsewhere on the site, post some pictures here.   Unknown plugs on brake booster: There are at least two female plugs on the brake booster that aren't being used.  I think it might be a replacement/aftermarket, so maybe those are used for a different application, as there don't seem to be any unplugged harnesses and no indicator lights are on.   Little squeaks when turning: Sounds almost like a bushing around the bed of the truck.  I'll have to pay close attention as I get more familiar with the truck.   Clunk on acceleration: possibly the infamous drivetrain clunk.  My 2006 had it and I'm just not familiar enough with this truck yet to fully grasp what it is.   Anyway, my apologies for the vague and all over the place post.  This truck is new to me, and it's been four years since I drove my 2006.  With 200k miles, I know I'll need to learn this truck quickly to avoid having any major issues, despite being confident it's got much more life to it.  My 2006 had nearly 320k on it when I parked it (nearly 300k of which I put on the truck), and it was still drivable then, though I suspected the head gasket might have blown.  I'd hoped to have that truck back by now, but it's gone forever, as I detailed in my reintroduction thread.

      I always drive in Sport mode. With more driving, I am finding the initial response when accelerating is much quicker now🖕 Lou
