Thanks! 285/55r22 and get a small rub on full lock on liner only

Damn, wouldn't think they'd fit without harsh rubbing on a leveling kit

2018 crewcab Silverado 2” RC leveling kit. Thinking about 295/55/20 Nitto Ridge Grappler on stock wheels, anyone running these tires with this setup?

Any wider than a 275 on your stock wheels will rub the UCAs on your 18 with a leveling kit. If you look you likey are already rubbing slightly on your UCAs now on stockers. 295s will fit in that 295/55R20 height-wise but width will give you trouble.

Sounds like maybe going to a 275/65 or 60 might be a better fit.

If you remove the rear block that'll only give you like 1 inch. If you want perfect level you have to buy lowering shackles. Both of these trucks have a 3 inch drop in the rear.a45530fbd42120b73c4d94ccaa369295.jpg550829c858b445602deffab5fe6f9d5b.jpg

No it's a 2" shackles and the block flipped under the leaf springs. If I had removed the block I would of had to get longer u bolts.

any pictures of the block being flipped? I'm really new to this truck thing and I like how those trucks sit with the rear drop. I've seen 2" shackles with .5" block, is that about the same?

It'll be the same but the trucks I posted have about 3" of drop. I'll try and get you a picture.

    • Enjoy the new truck, it’s a beauty. I’m glad you’re keeping the OBS, I love those old trucks. 
    • 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. 
    • 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.
    • 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.
