I haven't seen anyone run 35's with a 2.5 level, much less a 2". If you find someone running them with that, please report back. Even stuffing 34's in there is really pushing it.

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.

The trucks clearing 35's are F150's and Rams with round wheel well openings. Don't think a 2014+ 1500 GM truck will clear 35's without rubbing bad. Need at least a 4 inch lift to clear 35's.

2.5" RC, 275/65R20 Ridge Grapplers, Stock 20" wheels plastidipped matte anthracite grey to see if I liked the color. Turned out pretty good. I do have airbags which put my about an inch higher in the back, if I drop to 0-5 psi it runs almost perfectly level

I'm gettin the RC 2.5" soon, trouble is, I can't decide which wheels to go with for my tungsten metallic.....apologies for the minor threadjack

I just went matte anthracite grey on my stock wheels, I think it complements the color very well, something different from the typical matte black

Question...

 

I've got a 2014 Z71 that I just purchased at "Ready Lift - 2.25" Leveling Kit."

Seems pretty self explanatory on the install, but I'm just curious about the "2.25"

 

Looking at the round spacers, they are only about an inch thick. And the little "C" shaped spacers that go on the bottom are only about 1/4".

 

Where are they getting 2.25"?

 

Thanks in advance.

Mike

Because of the geometry of the suspension components, the leveling kits are not a 1 to 1 lift ratio so that sounds about right. My 2.5" front upper spacer measured less then 2". 1 11/16" if I remember correctly.

The 999901 is the Gm quick lift, I gave them all my vehicle info for my 2016 GMC

My 2.5 inch level kit lifted All Terrain rubs slightly with 33's when reversing and turning full lock. Have not driven hard off road but I'm sure it would rub the inner fender on a big bump at speed. Your best bet is to test fit a tire before buying them and turn the steering wheel lock to lock. 35's may fit and cause no problem when running straight but factor in a bump while turning and you may end up either trimming/sculpting your fender to get more room. Good luck with your mod and post pictures when done.

That's marketing, plain and simple. Their website doesn't specify what make/model the 35's can fit on, or what width the tires are. "Up to 35 inch tires (on select applications)" isn't the same as saying "will fit 35x12.5 tires on GMC 1500 4WD, with a max of 4.75" backspacing on the wheels". As someone already mentioned, that 35" claim is likely on a different make of truck.

That would be great - everyone here does the 3.5 on stock wheels

3.5" lift? 35" tires? I'm not sure what you mean here.

 

Edit: nvm, just saw your post above. I got confused when you brought the wheel comment into it.

Thank you.

Just being less than an inch thick, just seems a little well, not right. But, this is what I got from Ready Lift.

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By newdude · Posted

      Its coolant disguised as oil.   TSB - 20-NA-166 1..3   "To inspect for this concern, add coolant dye to the system, run the engine through warm up, pressurize the cooling system after warming the engine to operating temperature (let the engine cool overnight) and inspect the suspect cylinder with a borescope for coolant dye evidence. At times it may be necessary to remove the head for inspection. If the head casting line is the concern, the intake port will be wet with a coolant oil mix"

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Can you sample the pooled liquid, enough to confirm it is oil?   ...That its not fuel or coolant.   Also, make sure combustion gases aren't entering the cooling system.   Simply put, either oil being pushed up past the rings (this really isn't possible), oil leaking past the head gasket, oil leaking past the valve, oil entering through the intake air path. If none of this is likely - it may not be oil.   What could be likely is the fuel injector leaking down. A puddle of gas would still smoke and rough idle. (Same cylinder has the same problem after injector replacement?)   What is the crank time first thing in the morning, when the puddle would be present? Does it seem like the high pressure fuel pump needs an extra second or two to rebuild the pressure that injector 8 may have let bleed off? Check the fuel pressure via a scanner prior to starting the engine.

      Good information!  I didn't know about the dementia aspect and asked for a general for my second knee. I'd heard that recovery room time is usually shorter with a general.   The anesthesiologist talked me out of it and I had the spinal.  Inconvenience and/or discomfort is a small price to pay for reduced risk!

      Navigating senior years.

      By garagerog · Posted

      This is for those over 70 years of age contemplating joint replacement surgery involving general anesthesia. Even some 55 yrs. ago when I took my pharmacology class the dangers of developing dementia in the elderly that had general anesthesia were beginning to be recognized. Over the years there has been some refinement in the cautionary warnings, avoid general anesthesia if possible if you've had close to 10 priors, especially over the age of 70 and/or a family history of dementia. I'm not including the twilight anesthesia induced by propofol often used in cytoscopies or colonscopies. Seriously think about seeing a neurologist and undergo cognitive testing before proceeding if any of those criteria apply to you. Spinal anesthesia may be an option in some cases. I'm in the above camp and although I could use a new right knee, I get fidgety according to a prior orthopedic surgeon when the bone saw spools up or maybe it was the smell of saw blade meeting bone, anyhow I may have one general anesthesia left in me which I will pocket for now and I'm choosing mind over mobility, anyway where did I leave my damn cane!
