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

Ya that's not a bad looking combo. I'm looking at -12 in a 18x9 from method now. May test fit this size as well.

I installed the RC 2.5 leveling kit on my 2014 (front only) and looking into getting some new shoes. Is it possible to run a 285/75r18 on the factory 18s? Ive been eyeing the toyo m/t and trail grapplers. I don't mind trimming/zip tie some carpet but I prefer to not have it rub. So if anyone can shed some light that would be great

 

It's a tall tire and very narrow. A guy at work has the R/Ts on his F250 and they look kinda odd being so tall and narrow.

 

I've only seen that combo on 2 GM 2014+ trucks and I have read thousands of posts. It's gonna rub. 285/65 or 295/65 will look better and give you less issues.

I have 285/65R18 BFG KO2 on my stock rims and I am very pleased... Only an RC front level...no running at all...I feel it's. Nice upgrade without breaking the bank on something bigger... I don't know if the size you requested would rub or not... Sorry I can't help there.

i have been in a couple parking garages, but none with extremely low ceilings yet...I can try to measure for you...i know its well under 7'...but it might be close to that 6'8 mark...

I've been stocking these forums for years finally decided to start showing it off. My 2016 Silverado z71 with TGC 2.5 leveling kit and stock rims and tires. 305/55R20 Nitto Trail Grapplers going on next Monday, will definitely update then. Just washed him yesterday.

Here's my Summit White next to my dad's Pearl Tricoat LTZ with 3.5 RC lift and 285/65R18 Nitto Terra Grapplers. Mine has a 6-speed, but his had an 8-speed and he gets in the 20s all day even with the small 33s and the lift.

Plenty of room... 6'5 would more than likely clear...

Is anyone running bilstein 5100/4600 shocks on stock setting with a 2" bottom spacer? Not worth it? I have the 5100s set @ 3rd setting with 1/2" top spacer and the ride doesn't seem any better than it was with the stocks shocks and spacers? Maybe I'm crazy but I don't feel it, would the ride be noticeably better with bilsteins @ stock and spacers than the stock shocks were? If not I may sell the 5100s and just go back to my stock shocks and 2" spacer.

Anyone running a 285/65r20

 

Found a set i'm thinking of picking up. Just installed a RC 2.5 lift.

Planning on a level and some 285 65 20 myself on stock All Terrain rims (my stockers). Can we see some pics of that set up?

      Well one of our most reliable vehicles was sold yesterday. The first and only I gave for free to a grandkid. If they got skin in the game they take care of it. My wife bought new. Five years later my daughter got it to use. We got it back and gave it to our grandson after graduation. He did zero maintenance just oil changes. When the AC quit he drove his mother’s car rather than get it fixed. Instead he just bought a beater and sold the Elantra.

      I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.

      What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.
