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

What is everyone's thought on the MotoFab lifts? Looking at purchasing the 1.5" level kit for my 2014 1500 Denali. Thoughts are welcomed.

I went with the Motofab 2.5” and I love it. I was able to get 285/70/17 MXT’s on there with zero rubbing. Rides like stock in my opinion.

Why is it that rough country is only spot that asks for control arm type? MotoFab doesn’t ask at all, and nothing gets installed as a preload spacer - it’s all right on top of strut like older models.

Great looking ride. I just ordered Falken Wildpeak AT3W 275/55R20. I'm torn on either the 1.5" or 2" level.

Thanks man!! I love the way it sits right now, but I have to do something because I left no rake. When I hook up the boat she squats and looks like shit. I’ll probably do air shocks in the back so I can keep the look and then give it some air when I tow. I don’t tow a whole lot right now other than my small boat, so it will be a project for the winter While the boat is stored. We are looking at a camper too so that will definitely make the bags a priority.

Rough country uses a spacer between the lower control arm and the strut assembly. The different control arms might have different hole spacing or thickness (would need different length bolts).

I get that part, and yes it’s the thickness. I’m talking about the reason some companies use just a top 2.5” spacer on TOP of strut while others use a 2” lower and .5 upper. Also why is it that my 15’ has the .5 spacer on TOP of strut but my 16 would have to have it on top of the coil spring as a preload and not on top anymore.?

Searched for two days now...... Anyway i have a 2016 LTZ midnight editon. i am looking at leveling, my question is for Nitto trail grapplers, can i run a 285/65r18 or the 275/70r18 on the stock 18's without rubbing? there seems to be some that are making things work without cutting and others that are saying it cant be done. I'm at a loss on what to do.... TIA

 

Either should fit fine on a stock trucks with stock rims. If you level 2" or more, both should clear with no problem. I say "should" because those are popular sizes and many people on this forum are running them without issue. At worst, the 285s might hit your UCA, but it won't be bad.

For anyone who had a level kit and then upgraded to Bilsteins...

 

Did you keep your level and put the Bilsteins in at lowest setting? Or did you take the level out and put the Bilsteins in at highest setting?

 

I've heard the Bilsteins at highest setting is a "rougher" ride. And I don't want to lose the quarter inch as I have the MotoFab 2" level kit.

 

Thanks in advance!

I wouldn't call the bils at the highest setting rough but theres no bounce really compared to the factory shocks i replaced. bumps are a quick jolt. It can be a little hash at times but ill take that over the bouncing up and down any day.

 

5100s at highest setting on 275/60r20 KO2's

I'm running BFG KO2s in 275/70R18 and did on stock wheels for a couple years with no issues whatsoever.

If you level you shouldn't have anything to worry about.

I also ran 285/65/18 BFG KOs on stock wheels with and without a level and never had any rubbing.

 

I would think you would be perfectly fine with those.

They shouldn't be wide enough to rub anything. At most I would think you might have to trim the felt fender liner just ever so slightly as the 275/70s are decently tall.

17.5 +/- 1 depending how I’m feeling or if I’m mashing the throttle in Houston lol.

Get about 14 with a 16 foot trailer depending the load.

I also have been researching this for weeks. Think I'm leaning towards a pro ryde 2.5" kit and leave out the .5 spacer on the top for a 2" front lift.

Then go with a added 1" in the rear also from pro ryde.

Then go BFG KO2's 285/65-18 on my stockers.

Wish they offered more 295/65/18 that were not so damn expensive.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thanks for all the help so far!   I did try right from 2026 right down to 2021, and only from 2023 down lets me select the option for tire psi change, but I get the vehicle not supported error!   I'll definitely try it under Chevrolet after work today, and I'll get the sensor number from gm for my truck tire sensors. And I'll let you know if it works for me under Chevrolet!   And if that doesn't work, I'm going to guess that what @Atlas said about maybe I have a different body control module could be true!

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      From where I'm sitting this sounds like a compatibility problem. I'm assuming the 2007 was a 900-series truck, and not an 800-series (they were sold side-by-side in dealerships that model year), since it starts and runs.   This is why I HATE post-2006 vehicles. Everything becomes a huge problem when you try to keep the thing running for longer than the manufacturer has designed it to.    I can't remember when Global-A architecture started - either '10 or '11. For your sake, you had better hope it's '11, or you're going to be spending some BIG money to correct this cluster-eff. That's something you need to find out before doing anything else. You may have several computers bricked ... but the fact that it runs tells me you MIGHT be ok here.     EDIT: Just did a quick refresher. You're screwed. This is Global-A. The 2 systems are NOT compatible in the slightest. Once you get the correct engine in there that IS compatible, you're going to need to see how many computers are locked. Absolute NIGHTMARE to straighten out, too. Your buddy might be better off cutting his losses and finding something else.   Welcome to post-2006 vehicle electronics. This is why I quit the industry, and drive nothing built after 1994. This stuff takes all the fun out of wrenching!

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      True, hard to say what differences there may or may not be between Chev and GM as well as a production year or mid year part change either.    I just found it odd that under the Sierra choice on the Autel that many of the last few years of production year did not include the choice of changing the tire pressure but if that is an Autel thing or a GM thing as to why the choices were not there. Knowing what tpms sensors are on the truck should give some guidance into which choices on the tool even make sense to try as I wouldn't give up just yet with the tool but I guess he will see what if anything he comes up with if he finds out a bit more info and tries a few more things on the Autel.

      Needing this part.

      By davester · Posted

      I'm sure if you went to a junkyard where you go in and pull the part off the truck yourself, not a used part place where they do it for you, you can get that part on it's own.  Depending on if and what else you would be buying, and time of day, they might even just skip over adding it as a item to the bill.
