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?

5 inch block would look ridiculous with a 2.5 level up front. I would go 3 inch block max and it still would be a lot of rake. The 2 inch block would look best 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.

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

Does anyone know if the rear end spacers are safe if you're towing at near capacity?

Ok been following this section for a while and would like to know about having the magnetic ride shock sensors recalabrated.

I have a 2015 Denali 1500 4x4. The Dealer put on a Suspension Maxx 2 1/2" level up front and a 2"Block in the back about 6 mo. ago.

My truck looks great but rides like a lumber wagon (Very Stiff) , so I ask them about recalabrating the sensors. As I have read about it here.

They said never heard of it and it was not needed? So my question is who can check this for correct position besides a dealer that is clueless?

My understanding is this is computer related for a software update correct? I also need to note that I am also running a 10 ply tire so I know there will be some stiffness but didn't expect it to be that bad.

Any help?

What pressure are your tires? My tires were installed inflated to the max. Rode horrible.

Anyone have any experience with the Eibach leveling shocks? I have been in the market for new front suspension and was planning to wait for the 6112 Bilsteins to come out, but stumbled upon these. Most of the reviews are people who have them on Toyota Tacomas.

http://eibach.com/am...ro-truck-shocks

According to Eibach:

PRO-TRUCK Sport Leveling (RHA)

 

Also, if I already have a front leveling kit can I just throw these on, or do I have to remove the level kit?

Thanks in advance.

45 psi is what they are currently. I believe 80 is max pressure and ya that is wayyy to much. What did you drop yours to? Do you have any experience with a level and magnetic ride shocks?

Looking to level my 2014 CC Sierra all terrain. Definitely gonna go with a bottom strut spacer and was leaning towards a 2" from motofab. I saw that motofab actually offers a 2.5" bottom strut spacer kit. I haven't been able to find any information from anyone who has one, as most with a 2.5 have a combination top/bottom. This makes me concerned that maybe 2.5" is too much to put only on the bottom of the strut. Can anyone offer any insight on this??

I have a 2.5" level kit and I just put on 20x10 -19 offset Fuel Hostile and Atturo Trail Blade XT 275/55R20 XL (31.9x10.8x20) not the largest tire, but everything fits without rubbing. No trimming needed. If I went with 33's it definitely would be rubbed, but in the future I probably will go with 33's to fill the gap between wheel and fender.

There is but it'll end up looking like post #2974 on this page http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/161228-post-your-2014-wheeltire-set-up/page-199

And your suspension parts will be all sorts of messed up and wear out prematurely.

 

If you wanted to do it the right way, you're going to have to either:

ditch the leveling kit and get a 3" or larger lift kit with drop spindles, etc.

OR

at bare minimum get new UCAs for a 3-inch level.

What about a body lift? I have no experience with them, but they look like reasonable solution to a little more height.

      Manufactuer's Defect - Paint Failure - Cherry Red High Country 2021 Suburban

      By AlVeron · Posted

      This is NOT impact damage nor neglect. There were previous class action lawsuits because of such paint preparation st GM manufacturing plant. Not just the Cherry Red Color. This paint is applied in three processes to obtain the desired color.  The manufacturer will cover for 36 months or 36k miles only. That rust is actually corrosion because of the paint process failure. Corrosion is covered for 100,100 miles or a certain months. However their corrosion doesn't include this type. Go figure. Clearly manufacturer knew from previous paint issues. This started 3 weeks ago out of the blue.

      Is it time to put a piece of tape over the CEL?

      2015 Silverado 3500 right rear turn indicator failure

      consider doing electrical testing?  I would guess some power or ground wire/connection has a problem.   alldata.com has wiring diagrams, connector pinouts and diagnostic procedures you can use to find where the problem is.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      can you tell if the reader is actually trying to get codes, and the pcm is reporting none, or is your reader just silently failing because it's not communicating with the pcm?

      Any joy with this truck seems to be short-lived.   The CEL for P0172 ("bank 1" too rich) is now "intermittent".   I'm not sure where to check, or re-check, and my energy to keep chasing problems with junk is wearing thin. The P0172 seems to set as I'm coming to a stop, completely off the throttle, when fully warm. At least, that's what it's done the 3? times it's set.   Everything appears normal on the scanner EXCEPT long term fuel trim. There's only one bank on this vehicle because it's an OBD 1.5 with only one upstream O2 sensor. At idle, it's around -16.4% and will dip to -18% occasionally at idle or off-throttle. LTFT approaches 0 when throttle is held at 2500rpm. Short term appears normal, much closer to zero all the time. The LTFT tells me the engine is running rich at idle but compensating at higher load. But, why?   The EVAP purge valve doesn't appear to be leaking/sucking fuel vapor continuously. Is it sticking just as I come to a stop and the engine is choking on fuel vapor and sets the P0172? But that doesn't explain the persistently negative LTFT. Disconnecting the purge valve doesn't seem to make any difference.   I suppose that leaves another dang issue with the fuel injector. A leaking fuel pressure regulator, a new leak in the spider, or a leaking fuel injector/poppet valve I didn't see, or a small crack in one of the spider legs.   The vacuum line leading to the fuel pressure regulator doesn't have raw fuel in it. It doesn't even smell like fuel when it's pulled off, not until you suck air through it, then you can tell it leads to a fuel component. I'd consider that normal? Nothing is signaling this is a FPR issue from the outside, at least.   The oil smells like fuel but it's not building volume. I've noticed most oil in most engines smells like fuel to some degree so it's hard to say if the smell is an issue or not. Or if the engine just still smells like fuel because the crankcase was full of it a few hundred miles ago. But it's been changed twice since that original issue of the leaking fuel line dumping fuel into the intake.   Patience is running very thin. Every win seems to be accompanied by two steps backwards, or another issue that leads to removing at least the top half of the intake manifold. Enough! LOL
