I went from stock rims to a -12 offset little rub full lock. 305-65-18

Any updates?

From +24 stockers to -12 is a big jump especially with a 2" level.

 

You're one of the few running 305/65r18, so any info on the stockers before you got new rims would help a lot of us. Any reason you went away from them?

Just for looks pretty much. No issues with stock ones at all. No rubbing or anything. Ya the -12 was a big jump almost to much cause now I have rubbing on the little black plastic peice on rear of wheel well in the front. Maybe a 2 1/2" level will give me enough room to clear. It's only pulling into parking spots or backing out.

Every time I see your truck I think, "That's it". No matter what part I'm looking at. Was looking at the RC 2.5" level with wheels and tires and I think you have the set up I am looking for. Now I just need to photoshop them onto my truck.

 

Thank you! I get compliments on it all the time. My favorite part is it just looks "right." Its black but its not at the same time. I'm really happy the way it looks.

I have a set of rancho quick lift level kit up for grabs. Brand new, never installed. PM me if you are interested! And by the way I love them on my truck.

I'm going to be putting the Rough country 2-1/2" level kit with Gear Alloy Big Block 20x10 with a -19 offset wheels and 285/55/20 tires. Just curious if anyone has a similar set up, I don't think it will rub

Ok so have finally got my rubbing issue fixed. After installing 295/55r20 Toyo open contry AT tires had rubbing on the a frame, So I installed 20 x9 XD Rockstar II with 18 offset. The tires now rubbing on Sway bar. So when back and replaced tires with 285/55r20 BFG AT K02's and all is well in the world. NO rubbing!... Satyed with just front lifted with ready lift 2.25" level kit, stock rear blocks.... Ground to fender edge in front 38 3/4" rears at 39 1/2 so only have a 3/4" rake... Here are some pics.....

 

Catman lets see some more pics of your rig. Can you get a few showing how the tires poke in the wheel well and some up close of your wheels, and also the angles of your ball joints and C/v axles as well as your sway bar. I like your rig a lot, my 16 has cast steel arms rough country said I should be able to run 295/55r20 no problem on +18 or 0 offset but I want to see how different those stamped steel arms look leveled compared to cast steel

Hello. I am looking to put a leveling kit on my 2015 Silverado 1500 crew. I am still under all factory warranties and don't want to do anything that will for sure void them. I am getting Wrangler Duratrac 295/65/18. I am debating on doing the RC 2" level in just the front or doing the motofab 3' front 2" back. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I live in Colorado so off-roading will happen occasionally. Thanks in advance.

whichever way you go, post up pics of those 295s once you get them on your rig!

Obviously it's ultimately your call, but I would highly recommend against a 3" level. 2.5" is the max that most people agree is the most you should do. I play it safe with a 2". 3" will put terrible angles on your suspension and will wear things out prematurely, and will for sure not be covered under warranty. That's not even taking into consideration having almost no travel.

I think at some point, we just let the ignorant weed themselves out. Can someone sticky an "I Told You So" Thread? It will be filled with How do I fix my 3" leveling kit and budget "Lift" kit questions.

2" Suspension Max Level kit on my 2017 6.2 Denali attachicon.gif2017 Denali 5.jpg

This is a sick color combo. Very unique!

This comment is kinda ignorant in itself, no offense. There could definitely be a sticky on "lessons learned" but you don't just buy a truck one day and have the knowledge. For every post that explains why you shouldn't do a 3" level there's 10 posts with guys who do it "successfully".

 

Just sayin'

    • Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
    • Paid $2.72 for E85 today.
    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
