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.

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'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'

      DTC P2C48 auxiliary cooling pump

      I tried tapping it.  This might sound like a dumb question, you should feel vibration or some type of noise when it turns on? Can someone please verify? Thank you all!

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I feel better now for my own view point and actions or lack there of towards the dealership service theme reading your post and others. GM corporate is who offers the two free oil changes on the HD trucks and I bought my truck in Feb of 2025 and those oil change offers run out within 2 years I believe and I highly doubt I will be using either one of them. I had asked if I could officially give those free services to another customer ( a friend ) and they said no, its all a GM corporate thing based on the vehicle in question. What that service advisor did however was go into a little story about how such and such customer was denied engine warranty because he had done his own oil changes because then they are not documented ... you see where that goes and so an employee playing the game of scaring the customer into having the service work done there most certainly triggered my thought process. At a later date I did talk to the person who handles warranty claims at the dealership and she said to be sure to document the oil changes and keep receipts for the oil and filter ( coped the receipts from cases of Mobil oil and case of filters I bought from them ) and the vehicles VIN, the date of service, mileage etc and staple that together as a record I would give them if that was ever needed and I keep my own log book for services for each vehicle as well. Oh and about 8 months after I bought the truck the dealer starts calling me to offer a maintenance service since they haven't seen my vehicle show up on their system ... for the mere fee of 300.00 Canadian to change the oil and rotate the tires and a few other minor checks and I declined the offer, I get the call again a couple of months later for the same thing and she could tell I was not interested and she asked if they should take my name off the call list and I said yes, do that !.    By the way did you happen to keep your factory oil filter to open it up and see the surprises inside as I expect some will show up as per the odd little sliver of metal shaving and particles that the filter does trap along with bits of grey silicone sealer that come off of the inside edge of mating surfaces. I have cut open every filter so far on my truck although few miles but have changed the oil often and the second filter was vastly better with very little of anything, that first filter was the unsettling one as I expected it would be.

      I get why they do this…but man…not ideal. I only extract on inboard boat engines because the drains are buried and even then I hate it because it’s easy to leave a quart behind with that method.   They should market it as an “oil refresh” not oil change!

      I only get oil changed where I can watch. Valvoline pulls through the dipstick into a see thru glass. When done they show me the dipstick. About the only way they can mess up is using the wrong oil. But that secret wouldn’t stay secret long. Honda uses TQ wrenches on everything. You can watch through a plate glass window. Discount tires does that with tires. Trust but verify.

      I would not argue that with you. It would be pointless to argue against the truth and you speak the truth.    My question and in fact the entire point of this thread is an exploration into the levers of wear which happens no matter how well we maintain our powertrains.    Some of these levers we exert a good deal of influence over which can and do result is lower wear, longer powertrain life. Some others we are sort of stuck with.    An engine is typically done when the ring to bore seal no longer is able to do the job effectively. Normally the first thing to go in a engine otherwise well maintained and adult driven is this seal.    Looking into the means, methods, products and attitudes that influence the rate of wear seems a worthwhile inquiry to me.
