Wth... that's awesome. I called a shop here in OKC yesterday and they quoted me $370. Looks like I need to do some more shopping. 

i got mine done at JOPAC in midwest city for $225 last year...i think normally it is $275, but he gave me a deal, not sure...that included an alignment from sears, down the road from them.  I have been very pleased.

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.

How much rub do you have with that tire size?

It rubs but not too bad. I️ had to trim some of the fender liner. It doesn’t affect driving off-road too bad either.

Temporarily removed toolbox. Looks great without it. Really can see the new stance. Looks like it still has a bit of rake.

Any issues with fit with the 275/65 Ridge Grapplers?  I swore I'd never go Nitto again after I blew through two sets of Terra Grapplers way too quickly on previous rides, but I keep hearing fantastic things about the RGs.

Ag96, Love that set up. Any rub? Did you do a block in the back?

 

I rubbed at full lock on the inner wheel liner.   Zip tied them back and no issues at all now. 

 

I just have the 2.5" front level with no rear block.  Still about 0.5" of rake but its not noticeable.

No issues other than the wheel liner rub mentioned above with the stock wheels.  Its pretty common once you go to 34s with a level.

 

It's my first set of Nittos and only 1500 miles on them so far.  I love the way they ride, performance in the rain, and quietness with such aggressive looking tires.  I had TOYO AT2s on my 2014 and they are just as quiet.  Curious to see how they do on mileage.

What is the exact tire size please. any rubbing? Also what do you think of the performance of the programmer and are you worried about voiding the warranty because of the programmer.

Just got a 2.5” RC leveling kit. Truck sits 39” / 39.5”. I’m getting a new set of 20” wheels and 33x12.5R20 Open Country M/Ts put on it tomorrow morning! I’ll submit another picture once it’s done.

Just put the new shoes on her! There’s a SLIGHT rub at full turn.

Offset on the wheels? -24? Looks good. Rub at all? I am about to do the rcx 2” and haven’t decided on wheels/tires.

Not sure on the offset. Just traded for these. I dont think its as much as -24. Only hear rubbing in reverse at one certain point while turning, but no rub at full turn.

Ahhh. They look to have a decent lip. I really like em. Think they are perfect. Do you have a picture looking down the side of the truck to show how much they stick outside the fenders?

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      With large equipment or deep mud it is more of a use the higher gear to avoid spinning tires, getting stuck because of spinning tires and doing damage to your machine. The idea is if you run out of torque before you spin tires you can still downshift for more torque. If you are just spinning your tires in the lowest available gear you are stuck and things break.   Automatic transmissions, traction control and electronic transfer cases change the calculation a little as you the driver have less control over each piece.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.
