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.

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'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.

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'

      The amount of storage in the rear seat area is huge. You can keep all your cycle gear dry and clean back there

      Subtle vibration, can of worms opened.

      By Sparky176 · Posted

      Truck in fluid changes and investigate subtle shudder at cruising speeds.  Told them it felt like my ‘14’s shudder when AFM kicked in.   Dealer #1 :  You need a new torque converter.   6 weeks later, after causing other damages to my truck, I get the truck back.  Same shudder exists. New, more violent shifts and vibrations at low speed.  After choice words and a few more weeks of waiting for them to replace my running boards supports, I move on to another Dealer.   Dealer #2:  The cruising speed shudder is DFM.  (I didn’t realize truck had it.) The TCM/ECM needs updates.  Updates will solve all vibration issues.   They perform updates, truck seemed ok in lot.  Not a mile down the road, SERVICE BRAKE PAD MONITOR. Dealer #1 stated brakes were at 4mm.   took truck back to Dealer #2, rear brakes at 2mm and less than 1mm.     New pads/rotors on rear, new pads up front.   truck seems good. Toggle through menus, brake monitor system is disabled.  Huh?  Why? Turn that sucker on : SERVICE BRAKE SYSTEM!     will not reset manually, automatically, or even after pulling negative bat cable for 30min.     Could the TCM/ECM updates the culprit?    A torque converter diagnosis for a “normal” shudder and now I’m thousands in the hole and the truck still isn’t right!  Beyond pissed.

      Trim level custom/pro

      Seats matter a lot.  I would start there - good advise here.  I had a 2018 LT Colorado before my 2026 LT Silverado, and the seats are so much better in the new one it's not even a contest.  That was one thing I always hated about the Colorado and I owned two of them spanning 10 years - but I did it so I could park in the garage mainly.  Now I have a much larger property and a huge barn so I have plenty of parking options and a full size is more useful for maintaining the property and current hobbies as well.  I wasn't evenb thinking about the seats as part of the reason for the move to the Silverado, but after two back to back 700mile road trips I am sold on the LT seats w/ leather 100%.  The other LT features are also nice - one thing I really like is the power rear window on the back window by the bed.  And the lighting in the bed is also very nice to have - I doubt that comes on the lower models.  Power tailgate - also quite useful - it's a heavy slug!  What else - I could take or leave the screen - but heated seats and steering wheel and cruise control on the steering wheel is very useable - I would never want to live without that.  Even the colorados had that.

      I think the ship has sailed on the fuel injection type - everything is getting direct now.  Does it help with mpg?  Not really and nobody buying a HD truck really cares anyway.  But that is what it is at this point.  Piston rings is something they may well adjust over time to get them right.
