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 have a level kit now with factory struts and shocks. Have 49k on them. What are others getting out if their stock suspension items? Looking at going with a fox 2.0 setup for front and rear to get a better ride. Mrt seems to have a great price so I will probably go with them. Is there anywhere else I should check before ordering?

I got it leveled on Friday. Thanks everyone for all the help while I searched for the setup I wanted. I am very pleased with how it turned out. Here's a before and after.

Just installed mine from them. Fair warning, the fronts took over a month to get in, with ZERO help from MRT...I ended up calling Fox to see when the next batch of 2.0 coilovers were shipping out. Rears and everything else took under a week.

 

The prices are great, but MRT definitely buys from warehouses, not direct from vendors - so they will not know the ETA's until they actually ship. Communication is a bit of a problem.

 

Fox 2.0s are great though. Here's mine after the front coilovers and rear shocks/2" ILO 1" block. Brought the front up just over 1.5" and brought the rear up for 1". Measuring 37.7" in the front and 40" in the rear. Will be towing my boat soon, wanted to keep good amount of rake. Stock tires still, new rubber will come in winter.

I got my Kings coilovers and rears from AutoAnything at a price that beat MRT by a ways. That said, I couldn't get a response from MRT via forum PM to see if they would match it, then found out afterwards that it's better to email MRT because they respond quicker that way. Regardless, AA worked with me when I needed the Kings shipped to a different address during a move and they also worked with King to expedite the coilovers after they were notified of the shipping date slipping. The Chat feature on autoanything.com is your friend [emoji1360]

Did you pull your truck into the living room to put those on? Either that or you have wood floors in your shop/garage?

Haha no lots of 2x4s and some 2x6s - my dad uses this to drive his truck in the garage at the right angle.

If I'm trying to run 285/65's or 33x12.5 on 18s what offset could I run? Would I run into problems with a 0 or +1? been looking into +18 mostly so far. Running a '16 1500 with ReadyLIFT 2.25 level.

 

Thanks!

I have a 2014 Silverado 1500 High Country 4x4 5.3L

 

I'm putting on a 2" RC level this weekend and not going to touch the rear. I'm trying to decide on 275/65/20 or 285/65/20 BFG KO2's. Ive seen guys run the 275's no problem and only a few with 285's but mostly with RC 2.5" level. I'd like to run 285's if I can but don't want any problems off-road or over bumps or rubbing the sway bar, etc.

 

Im fine with zip tying the inner fender well but no cutting

 

I've searched far and wide for a firm answer but can't seem to find it

 

Can anyone help or have experience with the 285 setup on 2" level?

Which stock UCAs do you have? If aluminum or stamped steel (not cast) you'll rub the UCAs before you hit the sway bar. Generally on the stock wheels the limitation is the UCA because people want to go wider than they do tall.

Figured I'd throw up a few pics of my 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 dbl cab with level lift, 20x9s, and 33x12.5 toyo r/t tires. Reused the ready lift 2.25 from my 2014 silverado on this so I could buy the wheels and tires I wanted now. Plan on bumping up to a 4" lift in the next 6 months or so.

      Breaking News!    I'm going to tell you that I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I told  you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I'm about to tell you on the other side of the break.  Then we're going to break. Then I'm not going to tell you what I told you I was going to tell you.  But I'll tell you something else that is Breaking News just coming to the desk that everyone reported on yesterday.  Then I'll tease a human interest telling I'll get to on the other side of a larger break. Then I'll tell you one item in 20 seconds and go back to an even longer break. Longest break of the night.  Then I'll tell you a fluff piece that takes 10 seconds and sign off into a three minute break while you wait for the next 30 minutes of rinse and repeat on the local news.    In al you'll get about 12 minutes of something, 5 minutes of which is worth hearing in a 30 minute show and 18 minutes of advertising at a sound level twice as loud as the news.    Of course you can switch to cable news and hear 12 different people tell the same four stories in much the same format as the Network News for 20 hours of which the majority will be advertising.  And four hours of late night Specials about things you wonder why you stayed up to listen to. Half of which will be repeats.....   OR you can go for a drive

      Audio Dampening and quiet

      By Afennell19 · Posted

      Did you ever figure this out? My 2022 Trail Boss, and now my 2026 LT did this from time to time.  I believe it was more connected to Android Auto and my phone being the cause. Maybe try going for a drive, sans cell phone.... and see if it happens?

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By Afennell19 · Posted

      I have a 2026 Silverado LT, the non bose as well.  Upgrading the door speakers is pretty straightforward. You could honestly go to walmart, or Auto Zone/ O Reilly and get a set of 6x9s for the front, and 6.5s for the rear. You do also have to get some adapters for each, but they are like $10 a pair on Amazon. Then some plug and play harnesses that are about $10 a pair on Amazon as well.  And I would also suggest a 10 pack of the Amazon Basics sound deadening. Slap that all around the speakers and on the open metal of the inside of the door. And your golden.   I am currently doing this with my Silverado. Although I am having a bit of trouble because I am snooby I guess and bought some Alpine S2 S69c's which are 2 way components and I am having to wire from the door up to the dash....  Having never installed speakers before, its taking me just a bit to get everything correct. But if you dont buy expensive component speakers, and just some $40-$50 door speakers. You will DRASTICALLY improve the sound over these stock paper cone junk speakers. I thought my Silverado had an issue with the radio/ sound for a while.  Come to find out.  The stock speakers are just THAT SH*TTY   I cannot wait to have some decent sound in the truck   What did you end up doing?

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By newdude · Posted

      Its all automatic based on yaw sensor data.  If enough incline is detected, it engages.   My recommendation though would be to disengage it before driving off and not let it auto disengage by touching the gas pedal.  The HD trucks use the same setup as prior years, the drum in hat park brake.  But now with an electric actuator.  If you drive off repeatedly over time, it can torque the park brake shoes and can also prematurely wear them out.           Electric console shift will set the park brake on flat ground too.  Pretty sure they've got it programmed to activate every time.
