Haven't noticed anything yet! Rides similar to stock. Tires may it a tad more rough, but that's expected. I'm going to replace the rear shocks anyways, the ranchos are terrible

Do you know what you're replacing the rancho shocks with?

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.

Either bilsteins or halolifts (formerly f150lifts).

Here's a before and after of a 2.5" RC front & 2" rear block on my '16 Sierra with factory 20's.

Below is a pic of my suspension and the angle of my front drive shaft at the wheel. Love the look of the raised truck, but the ride, its another question. I read back thru the last 20 pages of this specific forum, and only found one comment about the ride. Mine feels as if there is rolling resistance, as if something is holding it back. Yes, in neutral it rolls as it should but even then or under power, still feels like resistance. It's only been 2 weeks since I completed the DIY project. Any thoughts anyone? Just searching the web, a ricer forum thought someones E-brake cable might be pulling taught. Any help?

You get an alignment yet? That could definitely be the issue if not.

Will a rough County 2.5 leveling kit allow for a 275 70 18 tire without rubbing?

I have that size on my truck and its perfectly fine. Never had any rubbing issues.

The other reply is correct though, throws the speedometer off.

at 60-70 its off about 3mph and at 75-85 its off by about 4.

Rolling over 40k on my stock tires now. So i'm doing my research for my new setup once they are shot.

 

I plan on getting Fuel Assault D546 20x9 or 20x10. The 20x9 is available in a +1 or +20 offset, the 20x10 is a -18 offset. I want to wrap these in a 275/60 Bfgoodrich T/a KO2. Any suggestions on which wheel would be better? I wouldn't mine 1/4 - 1/2 inch sticking out of the wheel well if that's viable.

 

As for the lift, I was looking at the MotoFab kits, would a 2.5 front and 2" rear fit the wheel setup and maintain a slight rake? Or would I be better off with the 3" front and 2" rear?

 

Thanks for the help gents, i'm new to this, my first real truck. I've got a 2015 Sierra SLE double Cab 4x4 if that helps.

A 2" leveling kit should leave you with about a 1/2 to 1" rake with stock rear.

20x10 is too wide for a 275 tire, especially a KO2 that already has a narrow section width, unless you're going for that look 7.5-9.5 is the approved width per BFG, doesn't mean you can't do it though, a negative 18 will likely rub as well especially on a 10 inch wide wheel possibly more than a zip tie can fix. 275 60 20 on a 20x9 +1 should clear and give the truck a nice stance. Just my 2 cents.

I have a 2014 silverado 1500 with a 2" rough country front only level. Just got myself a set of 18×9 xd hoss wheels with a +18 offset. Anyone think I would be able to clear either 275/70/18 or 285/65/18 without any rubbing or trimming? Greatly appreciate the help.

Waaazooo do you happen to have any pictures? How much clearance do you have at full turn?

There is a guy on here running 295/70/18s on +18 offset wheels. You should be fine.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By DaleB · Posted

      Hi all - my current truck is a 2022.5 1500 High Country 3.0. I bought the truck used last year. After doing some digging, I noticed that my truck's software is stuck on the original build from 2022. I have no available software updates. I talked to my dealer about this and they recommended not trying to force an update since the 36,000 mile warranty is expired. This is a big bummer since there have been many major releases since that have fixed small issues and improved speed/usability.   For reference, the current software build number is: full_gminfo37_gb-user 10 W158E-W164.4.2-QIH22B-563.3 158 release-keys Has anyone had a similar experience? Should I just forget about it and move on, or try a different dealer?

      Using zip ties but 2-3 they snap due to sharp edges. Just using a shoestring. Last longer. 🤣

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      I ordered the Snap On...waiting for it to come in later this week or early next week.   New front cover, new crank seal and new balancer are on. Water pump, pulley, fan, hoses, and plastics reinstalled. I can move forward knowing all my timing marks are dead on and the front engine is hopefully sealed better than it was. Take 2 with the water pump...trying high temp thread sealer on the lower bolts.   Rebuilt injector and new-new regulator is in, it looks like new. Top intake reassembled and all the bits are reconnected and snugged down.   Thinking about knock sensors again, I located both of mine and, there's your problem, Francis... The driver's side one is broke, plastic is bashed in, part of the wire is bare, and it appears to have been damaged like that for a long time. I saw the wire but didn't think anything of it. The knock sensor might not be my pulled timing issue, but it sure looks suspect. It must still be conducting, otherwise I'd expect a CEL. But perhaps with its sacred crystal inside exposed, jilted and dirty, maybe it's sending mixed signals. So I'm waiting for one of those and a new pigtail to come in. Pass side sensor looks good, except for the spark plug wire resting on it (!). The plug wires are healthy so it shouldn't be causing an issue, but I separated them and added zip ties to nearby looms to keep everything well apart.   So, I'm down to installing a knock sensor AND, oh, replacing the exhaust and cat. I actually think that's going to be fairly easy, it's all bolt-together, all new stuff from Walker is laid out on the shop floor ready to go. Hopefully have this thing on the road again for the weekend.   My luck? It will still be leaking oil, coolant, pulled timing, intermittent CEL for running rich, or it probably won't run at all -- because that's how this project has gone.   I've never worked on a vehicle so ...hurt? ...cursed? in my life. Everything has been effed with SO HARD, but I think...knock on wood...I've managed to undo all the backyard stuff and we're almost reset back to "just" an 80k mile, 30 year old Blazer.

      Would this CV Shaft be bad?

      Yes. You need to check out that thing, and the hub further.
