Yes, conservatively, I would agree with that. You might be able to squeeze more, but it just depends. There seems to be some minor variation between individual trucks too. I was originally going to go with bigger tires, and when I saw the stock setup with the level, I thought it looks great as-is. Plus, unlike on the 20's and 18's, the factory tires on the 22's are larger (285 vs 275) and really nice. They are also an AT tire, not a regular tire, so unless you plan to go mudding (unlikely with 22's and a Denali) I don't think a change of tires is needed.

 

BTW, you should look up the piping mod and do it to your truck. Some blue piping would look sick that that blue exterior. I did the grey piping on mine and it looks amazing.

Did a search and nothing What Piping mod?

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 saw you driving on Day Blvd by Columbia Rotary in South Boston on Tuesday around 5pm. Recognized the color and that grill right away. Truck looks great.

How is everyone's gas milage after a leveling kit and tires? I was thinking about putting some 295/55/20s or 275/65/20s on my truck with a rough country 2.5" level. I commute 80 miles round trip. This is what my truck looks like now.

See here I selected stamped arms, the top spacer is now a circle. See the part number? Now in second picture it says strut doesn't need assemble but excludes that part number. Like I said before, the rough country rep said they changed top spacers for stamped arms to help the geometry/angle a little better apparently.

Hello I bought for my Silverado RC 1312 , who are installed wiht this ? my truck have stamped steel control arms

Gastonhector: with that kit You have to disassemble the strut to install the .5 spacer. Or just drop it off to a shop to install.

That looks to be a lot more than a 2" level in last picture. that's like a 4" lift? Edited by Criscone

2016 Silverado. 2in RC leveling kit 33x12.50x20 Toyo mt IMG_0433.JPG

What is the offset? Do they rub at all? Trimmed? I am looking to do 33x12.50R20 with either -12, 0 or 12 offset 20x9 wheels.

Just stock wheels so I'm not sure about the offset. Whatever they come with I guess. But no rubbing and no trimming at all. Didn't want to do any trimming so I was nervous about it but they worked out perfect!

      Brand new to this forum. Questions about re-gearing my 26’ HD

      By BDS my HD · Posted

      Hello hello looking forward to expanding my knowledge of the 2026 2500 HD that I just bought.   Truck has 3500 miles on it four-wheel-drive crew cab and I’m about to put a 6 1/2 inch BDS lift on it 18 x 10 -25 offset with 37’s   Already have the wheels and tires just waiting on the lift install in about three weeks   Question what surprises am I not gonna be happy with?  I’m not new to lifted trucks so I know that acceleration towing gas mileage all that is affected..   Question is those of you that have this truck this powertrain with a 10 speed Allison and have done the mods that I’m doing,,, how bad is it? Is that Allison constantly gonna be hunting for the right gear to go into? And what about towing, acceleration, fuel consumption as mentioned?    Lastly how come I can’t find any ring pinion gear set up for these axles and when could I expect to see them?   I apologize if there’s any typos I’m doing speech to text on my iPhone.

      2013 2500HD 6.0L intermittent no crank no start

      By linc45bn · Posted

      I've got a 2013 2500 6.0L Flexfuel. Drove the truck earlier today with no issues. Went to run an errand tonight and noticed key fob wouldn't work. Figured battery was dead, so replaced fob batter. Still wasn't working. Grabbed my other set of keys with the other fob and that one wasn't working either. So I manually unlock truck and insert key. Interior lights come on, dashboard lights up, turn key and truck starts. Turn truck off, like a moron, and try starting again. This time no crank, no click, no nothing. Lights still come on and dash lights up, but now I'm getting a service 4wheel drive, service tire monitor, etc. Check voltage on battery and Im showing 12.2v. Throw my battery charger on it and give it 15 mins and try starting again. But still no crank no start. Decide maybe its a bad battery, run to autozone grab a new one and put it in. Same issue. Disconnect battery and let it sit for 15 mins. Try again and still nothing. I had managed to roll the windows down earlier as its a humid night, but now I can't get them to roll up. Power locks are also not working now. Then randomly I try the key again, and it fires right up. Immediately I roll up the windows as we have nothing but rain forecast this week. I shut it back off wait 30 seconds and start up again. Worked a 2nd time. So turn it off, start putting things back together. Try one more time, and back to no crank no start. And now the car alarm starts going off. Had to disconnect battery and leave it that way for the night as I don't think my neighbors would appreciate my alarm going off again tonight. Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.

      GMC 1500 Illuminated Front Grill Emblem REPLACEMENT.

      By Peoplemvr · Posted

      Hi there.  Long time lurker, first post.    i have read the previous posts regarding the water ingress problem with this emblem.  I bought my 1500 SLT the  summer of 2025 new and after reading the MANY problems with these emblems failing I decided to install one anyways.  As per a YouTube video, I sealed ( or tried to) this sign with silicone sealant around the outer perimeter joint and the holes that were already somewhat sealed on the rear plate of the emblem.  And installed the connector assembly using dielectric grease on the connectors. The installation looked great and worked well for about 4 months……then FAILURE.  Grrrrrr…… I live in the great white north and wash my truck weekly in an automatic car wash  to keep the salt off.  Let me tell you that removing the old, failed emblem is a whole different animal than removing the OEM individual letters without removing the grill assembly. Mainly because the illuminated logo is built differently than the original letters which  you can remove the red surface lettering with a knife or some kind of blade which gives access to the tabs which hold the logo onto the grill. So I had to essentially destroyed the old emblem to remove it. Doing so killed my chance of doing somekind of autopsy on the failed , old logo.  But there was plenty of water inside when I ripped it apart.  Prior to installing the new assembly I tried it with the old harness and it works fine.   Does anyone have any insight as to where the water is getting into this emblem? I intend to seal the new logo with slow curing epoxy this time around using a syringe.  I think this newer emblem may be an updated unit which I hope GM got the vendor to fix. It has an October 2025 date on it.    If this one  fails,  I am just going to revert back to the non-illuminated letters….AFTER PULLING THE GRILL.    Any thoughts on sealing with epoxy would be appreciated. Thx!   Doug
