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.

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?

      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.
