Has anyone done a 2" in the front and 2" blocks in the back? I would like to keep some rake to it and thinking about getting the kit from motofab. Just wondering if anyone had pics of it done and quality of the kit. Thanks

I too wanted some rake because I tow. Overall I think I lost about 3/4"-1" of rake. I have the 2" Motofab kit and the quality has been great/no issues. Not much to it but you do need to drop the ball joint for the Motofab kit. I have hellwig 987 helper springs as well.

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.

Mine is finally done! After months of research I went with the RC 2.5" level kit front only, stock rear block. 20"x9" Fuel Nutz w/ +1 offset, 33x12.50x20 Toyo M/T tires. No rubbing, No trimming, yet a

Man there are some sharp looking trucks with just the leveled system. I plan on doing a 2.5" front with a 3" rear block. Just don't quite know what I want to run for wheels and tires yet.

Hey guys! So I know this is probably one of the most covered topics of all but I'm hoping to find a little more info on wheel/tire fittment with a leveling kit. At this point I'm leaning towards the RC 2" front level for now. I have set of 17x9s picked out because I like more tire and less wheel. I've read through this thread till I was blue in the face and couldn't find much of an answer. I'm trying to decide between 0 or -12 offset and then also between 285/70's and 295/70's. Just wondering if anybody with experience with these sizes could chime in if possible so I can't get these wheels and tires coming. I found a ton of info on stock wheels but not as on wheels with these specs. The -12 offset wheels with 295/70 would be best case scenario for me but I'm guessing 0 offset carries less of a chance of rubbing? Thanks in advance for any and all input guys!

several people on here run 0 offset 17's with 295/70/17 Toyo RT's and dont have any problems. It will work. I dont know for a fact, but I would almost guarantee that -12 offset with those tires will rub... sticks too far out.

I would do 0 offset and the 295s... i think you'll be happy you did.

Thanks for the input! I was hoping somebody on here was running a -12 with not too much rubbing. I'm ok with a little bit of wheel well trimming or pulling back. I've been scrolling through customwheeloffset.com and found a 2014 with 3" motofab front level running the exact setup I mentioned and claims no rubbing or trimming. I think the 3" level is a little too much for the front end but did find a 2.5" from motofab so I've decided on that now. Any thoughts on this?

Why did you remove the kit? Was the ride that bad?

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.

      Tire fitment

      By JakeD · Posted

      Yes your absolutely right, I been looking at the 4 inch BDS one and it acutely states you can use the stock 20’s just not the 17’s or 18’s, I also didn’t realize that with my 275/60r20 stock wheels I’m already running 33 inch diameter wheel setup lol so I can just run my stock wheels and tires atleast to start.

      I would expect that to be lift-kit dependent.  If the kit has interference issues w stock wheels, then the kit/manufacturer should indicate that somewhere.
