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.

Zone level kit ko2 in 305/65-18

 

That's awesome. Would love some more pictures of this truck and some of the wheelwell clearances at full lock. I haven't seen anyone else try a 305/65r18 on stockers but always thought a BFG would work because they aren't as wide as the rest of the mfg.

 

Can you put a tape measure to the tire and give the true overall height and width for us?

I want the biggest i can fit with minimal to no rubbing. after the posts i have ready i seem to be able to for sure do a few different sizes in 275, 285, and even some shorter 305 widths. anybody running something similar with pics?

I have a 2.25 Ready Lift that was installed by the dealer, has anyone experienced a slight shake or rumble around 60-65? I brought it into the dealer and the answer they gave me was that the blocks make the steering lighter and it causes wandering leading to the rumble. Their solution was to rotate the tires. Anybody have input on this?

Makes no sense that rotating tires would fix that unless your tires were never rotated in over 10K miles and cupped, or way too much or too little PSI. I'm betting you probably have stamped steel control arms based off your username 16 silv, and any level kit over 2 inches creates problems with those arms.

 

Rough country made a kit specifically for these arms now with their 2.5 kit, it uses a preload spacer now for them instead of the bottom and top spacers used in all the other kits over 2 inches. I would install that kit or remove the 1/4 inch spacer from yours, AND make sure your tires are balanced correctly and alignment is correct. If all of the above have been checked, it's most definitely the kit being too much for those stamped arms.

Question for all you 2.5 RC enthusiasts. What are your thoughts on doing the the front 2.5 setup and putting the universal 5 inch blocks in the rear instead on the supplied 2 inch blocks?

 

Currently I have a 3" rake going on and figure it would only take .5" out of my rake but give me 4" in the back and 2.5" in the front.

 

Also curious going up to a 5" block with that kit and the u bolts wont work so what length u bolts I would have to go with?

 

Thoughts?

If you still want a rake use the bigger block. I used the 2" block that came with the kit, my measurements after install (including tires) are 39.5 at front fender and 40 in rear.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By tararebecca · Posted

      I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By artistemorbidity · Posted

      I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.

      The Peckish Synapse

      Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
