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.

Thanks!! Really simple, I went to Home Depot and bought an Aluminum L shaped 8ft piece and used that as my mounting brackets, the just installed the lights to the aluminum and then wired the lights to a separate toggle in the cab and done!! I'll make a video and upload to YouTube

Finally got my level and wheels and tires! Couldn't be happier with the results.

Motofab 2.5" front and 1" rear

17x9 -12 offset with 295/70R17 General Grabber x3's

All I did for trimming was cut out a little piece of the rear of the front wheel wells. If done clean enough, you'd never really even know if was done. No rubbing of any kind

I have a 2" RC Level if anyone wants it. Will sell it cheap. Was going to put it on my 2016 Silverado but traded it in last week.

Thanks man! I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out. After doing a little bit of hauling after the level and wheels and tires, I will say I kinda wish I would have left a little more rake. Maybe up 2" in the rear instead of just 1. It doesn't take a whole lot of weight in the box or tounge weight and she starts squatting a little bit. My buddy put bags and compressor with a wireless controller on his 2017 and it's a slick set up. Might do the same.

Yea the bags are definitely the way to go from what I've read. I have 1.5" of rake and have Hellwig helper springs. It's the cheaper option but I'm very happy with them.

Beautiful truck and setup. I have a fairly similar setup

 

you said -12 on 17x9? Looks a little less than that to me. I almost think mine pokes a little more and im 17x9 +6 with 285's. I guess the 0.5" makes the difference. I'll post a pic

How much did the top setting net you?

Love the look, sharp truck!! I almost went with those tires in the same size but decided for the nittos instead? How do you like them?

~2" lift. I think I'm going to do the 1" rear lift as well, any weight and she tends to look like a pig with her nose up

You can tell my rear tires stick out a bit more then yours and as far as the fronts go, the taller the leveling kit, the tighter the wheels get pulled to the center of the truck because of the suspension geometry. This is why my front and rear poke is almost identical vs a truck with a true lift kit. With those the front wheels always poke out a bit more then the rear.

Thanks!! So far I love them. I have less then 1000 miles on them so I think it's a little early to say how quiet they are, but for MT's the noise is not bad at all. Radio barely on and you don't even notice it.

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By XY74 · Posted

      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.

      New to Me 2010 SLE (Quirks, Issues)

      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.
