2017 z71 cc with 2.25 level and 285 65 r18 ko2s. Happy with it as I didnt want any rubbing and keep it reasonable. not bad for under 2k with level, wheels, and tires.

That's a good look. Your rims look a lot like my stocker GMC Z71 rims. And please peel that auto dealer sticker off the tailgate...that's the only debadging needed!!

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.

oh yeah theyre stock gmc wheels, I liked the 18s better than the 17s that came on my truck. Dealer swapped them before i bought the truck thats why i got such a good deal. Bought the 18s for 300 OTD and sold my stockers with tires for 1k. If the weather ever stays decent ill remove that sticker. its usually the second thing i do.

New here but have been looking around at leveling kits for a while. Just got my Ready Lift 2.25 installed so wanted to post a pic. Maybe this will help someone else make a decision. Ride is exactly same or maybe even better (I know I must be imagining that). Cost me $480 for kit and install here in Southern Cal.

NIce! Been looking a bit myself and ther eare just so many options... Was this Lift Kit just for the Front? You have a model #... Did the shop help you determine was size kit you needed depending on your current rake and what you were looking for: True level, Slight Rake, Slight Squat... Please post some more pics if you have them..

 

Thanks bud..

Shop didn't help but I didn't really ask either... I just did a quick measurement on the back and front wells a knew anything less than the 2.25 would leave me wanting. In the end it worked pretty much perfectly. I think there is a very slight rake still, which is cool with me. I don't have the kit model # handy. Here are a couple more pics (not the best quality I know).

Hi Everyone,

 

Posting for some clarification, I've been digging through this thread looking at all the great builds but want to get some answers from folks who have done this. I'm looking at doing the 2" RC level on a 15' AT with the stock 20" wheels. I had my tire guy order the Nitto Terra G2s in 275/65R20 but I'm now reconsidering that after reading into more posts. Some say that there is no rub while others say there is. I'm wondering if anyone has done this setup and could let me know what their results were. If I should go for a smaller but wider tire too that would be good to know. Very new to the world of truck upgrades but the dealer found a shred in the right front the other day so I guess it's time to do some upgrades.

 

Thanks Folks

I think you're asking for trouble with the 275/65 on a 2" level. This is definitely the case with duratracs as a buddy tried and had to go to a 2.5" level. Not sure if the G2s are a bit small than the duras, but at full lock and in reverse they rubbed.

My Duratracs rubbed the carpet with 275/60R20 on stockers.... Duratrac tread is huge but still.

 

I have a 2" Motofab.

Gamma I would say go with the 2.5 inch level kit with the 275/65's. Just a bit more peace of mind since that tire is quite tall.

I think they will fit. Mine fit pretty easy with a couple zip ties on the fender liners. I have the 2.5 but I think they will fit with a 2 inch.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By KARNUT · Posted

      More is cylinder deactivation. Kia-Hyundai Ive had 4. The warranty is the same 10 years 100K miles. My grandson drives the first one 05 Elantra GT. My wife drives the second one 2011 Genesis. The Genesis still performs as new and looks great. The Elantra looks rough. He’s not kind to it. The third was a Genesis coup. The fourth was a Santa Fe. Those were my daily drivers. I don’t keep them long. Kia is the same as Hyundai with the same warranty. I looked at the K-4 today. Too small, otherwise pretty good buy. Most of Hyundai and Kia’s have a performance upgrade.

      Oil Consumption

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Great question. Answer....depends. One the volume of the crankcase, the driver that will actually be using the vehicle and the amount it uses plus the distance expected for that next trip. Couple of for instances:   Wife is going to drive Dizzy to Moline and back plus a bit around town so say 500 miles on the day. I know from years with that SUV that around town and local rural it uses about a quart in 1250 miles. But on the Interstate and her at the wheel without her anchor nagging her she'll push it and it will drop a quart in about 800 miles. Hence, around town I wait to somewhere between a quarter down to a quart down. On her trip I'd top it if it was down a few ounces and hope for the best.    Have I overfilled one? You mean by adding before it needs a full quart I assume. No, not once after finding the true fill mark.  I know the dipsticks of everything I drive and add what it needs. I learn this by doing the first oil change a quart low. Run the motor for a few minutes. Let it sit over night. Check and mark. Then add half a cup at a time making note of the place on the stick. I add through the dipstick tube with a barbeque basting bottle. Give it a few minutes to drain down and check again.    A vehicle like Dizzy that uses this much oil will take a few quarts between 3K changes. I keep one in the vehicle with the bottle and a bag. (Mindful of it's fullness) Not a big deal and never makes a mess of it. There is no such thing as "multiple quarts' in my shop for any specific oil. There will be a maximum however of the number of different oils used over the fleet.     Dizzy holds a nominal 5 quarts. So the first fill was indeed over as it actually took 4.75. My vehicles are fit with Valvomax valves so I can meter an ounce on the drain if need be. Found her mark first crack at it. Never to be repeated.    Pepper uses none between changes so I don't keep a quart in that one. Straight up 6 quarts put her dead on the full line. Check it ever fuel stop. They will surprise you when they start using.    Raven holds 3 liters or 5.44 ounces over three quarts. I add 3 quarts and 6 ounces. That gives me 5 oil changes on my orphan quart.    Lawnmower holds about 3/5 of a quart. I don't over fill it to prevent an orphan. So yea, depends.

      185k on original 6.2L engine and 10 speed. 6" lift with 35" tires. Changed oil (Mobil 1 synthetic) when truck told me to. Original tranny with original fluid and no service or flush done. All highway miles. A/C compressor replaced at 155k. Oil cooler line replaced at 180k. Still daily driver. Love this truck.   This is my 3rd 6.2L vehicle (2008 Yukon Denali / 2018 Cadillac Escalade) with over 150k miles and no issues. Denali had broken motor mount at 100k.
