After running the 1.5" blocks for about a week the suspension has settled and I still notice a squatting appearance. So I just ordered the 2" steel blocks with new U bolts and hope I get the stance I am looking for.31263c5a718cc580dc60824ddba1d304.jpg72a4e11f15bf7a2a17d7987ba7705449.jpg

Those tires and the height really set the truck off. Looks good.

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.

Thanks a lot guys! Theoretically I should be gaining only 1/2" but I went with a different brand of lift blocks so we shall see. I am excited and will post pics for you to see.

Factory Height: Front 36.75"

Rear 39.5"

After tires and leveling kit Front: 39 3/8"

plus 1.5 Blocks Rear 40"

 

Tires are Federal Couragia M/T 33 12.50 R20

They were $755 shipped to my home from Walmart. Comments vary on reviews as they used to have sidewall incidents. I took a risk as two of my local friends have been running them for two years already with no issues. What I gathered from them is that the old white wall Federals were the faulty ones and people were running them too low PSI. Anyways I will let you know with time but as of now I love them. They look great and ride great.3690356b4be057bdd28c3cbb0f051022.jpg

Leveling kit is coming now I need a 33x12.50x22 set of tires. Not looking to pay 1800 for a set for my stock wheels to be used but I don't want to step down to a 20" wheel that I particularly don't like. Hmmmmmm

After having the drivers side upper control arm stick and my passenger wheel stuck to the hub, I finally finished my 2" rough country install. My truck feels a lot more like my F150 Fx4 now.

 

If it wasn't for the two hang ups this kit should've taken me 2 hours.

 

I'd love to see those guys on the YouTube videos installing these kits, work on truck with 40-50k miles instead of those brand new, every bolt removes easily trucks.

14 silverado with 2.5 rough country leveling kit with 20x10 Hostile Sprocket wheels laced with 33x12.5r20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. I did minor plastic cutting with no rub. I was told it couldn't be done and it was easily doneattachicon.gifIMG_20161229_163643_472.jpg

Truck looks sick. Love the black wheels. I almost went with a 20x10 but I got no lift yet and my pockets are hurting right now. Lol

I had the motofab and attempted the self install and with only 500 miles on my 2017 the upper control arm on drivers side would not give so i took it to "one stop shop" and bammm they made me look like a wimp lol. I swear i was hitting it hard and have a BFH just like yours. Perhaps i was just nervous of working on a brand new truck.

I beat the shit out of the joint with a regular hammer then I remembered I had this bastard, literally one tiny tap and pop it free'd up. Passenger side popped out on its own free will.

Here is a picture of the AT after having a 2.5 inch level kit with Bilstein 5100's set at 0 lift on the front and Toyo Open Country RT 33x12.5's on the stock AT 20's.

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
