Before he installed the 1/2” spacer he would rub at about 90% turn (give or take) after the install he rubs after like 98% turning (again give or take) im just not sure if its from the uca or the sway bar. wen i see my young brother again ill check where the rubbing is coming from
Hope this helped

Thanks, I appreciate it man. I’m rubbing at full lock but I’m not confident running spacers or trimming studs

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.

Would like to level my 2018 Denali but unsure about messing with the magna ride and don’t want a harsh ride.

All you have to do is have them "re-zero" the magnaride in the pcm. You don't need the susepnsionmaxx bracket or whatever.  I installed mine and it rode like a dump truck. after the re-calibration it rode exactly the same as stock.

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

 

That's a 34" tall tire. I have the same set up, it rubs on the fender lining (zip tie helps)  and badly on the control arms. There is no way you are not getting the same. It's so bad I am swapping out for a smaller 32.8 tire and after market wheels. It looks great but it rubs like crazy. Anything going over 33" is gonna rub on stock. It's raining now or I'd take a pic of the wear for you.   

 

It's way worse in 4 wheel drive.

It must the width of your tire as mine does not rub the control arms or anything other than the inside plastic trim on full lock. I just walked outside an looked again to make sure but ive crawled all under mine after I installed lift and tires. I read a 33X12.5X22 rubbed like crazy but a 285/55/22r is 34.3x11.2. I will take pictures this evening an post. I have lightly taken offroad and no more rub than on street

What width tire are you running? I think that is where you are having problems. The whole reason I went with the 285/55/22r was for width as I didn't want to rub anything important as this is a daily and pulls a trailer weekly

I would be afraid to go any serious off road with this set up. I have exactly what you do, 285/55r22's and there is rubbing on the control arms. I can feel it hit as I turn. especially in reverse. 

 

Same truck, same wheels, same exact tires.  suspensionmaxx leveling with all the spacers in, etc.  It's not the width, it's the height on stock wheels that cause the rubbing.

I have nitto Ridge Grapplers is only thing different but I swear I only rub the inside lip of plastic trim as ive actually gotten out and checked when I was rubbing. I went out at work and took these and turned wheel completely to left lock. The last one shows the little rub I do have circled in red. I will fix this with a knive and ziptie sooner or later

yeah, it's all in there. it's maxxed out.  I have to make a sharp turn getting out of my garage so I feel and hear it every day.

I wonder if the G2's are more bulbous than the ridge grapps which might be more square if that makes sense..i just like using the word bulbous

That could be it. maybe, it rubs the sidewall. 

 

I ended up ordering this setup.

I love the 22's but with too small a tire it doesn't look right imo. (like stock size).

      Video processing module location

      By twgraham · Posted

      Can someone tell me where the video processing module is in a 2023 Silverado? I'm getting conflicting results that it's in the front passenger area or the rear passenger area behind the seat.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes I agree, its what amounts to free advertising to let people know about his UOA testing company, and not that there is anything wrong with that but certainly that is a motivator for putting out videos about the science of oil as well as other topics such as oil and air filtration etc. The interesting part I found with his last video is not only the physics behind the reason for the varying wear due to a diesels working torque range causing more bearing load and that higher viscosity oil is of benefit, it was also that the chemistry behind the GM Dexos 0W-20 and the Mobil Dexos licensed 0W-20 are far enough apart that its showing up with a difference in wear even though the two oils are matched in viscosity and in that comparison viscosity was not having the finger pointed at it.    There are a few youtubers out there or one anyway that I have watched a bit of who has gone through the pains of accessing various countries manuals for a certain engine platform and while in the US/Canada it may say use 0W-20 or what have you for some Toyota product, in some other countries it sings a very different tune for the very same engine with the typical traditional oil viscosity/ambient temperature charts to help choose which oil viscosity is correct for the conditions the vehicle will be used in and in some cases its taken an engine in a US manual that states only use 0W-20 as per warranty coverage and yet that same engine in certain other countries may have up to a 15W-40 etc oil option that meets the spec. Another words the guy who is driving through Death Valley or Phoenix and south weather at 120f is often being fed a line of bs by the US system that has forced vehicle companies to restrict the warranty to a specific low viscosity oil for anterior reasons as well as the long drain interval suggestions.    Thankfully youtube is free ( yet anyway ) for viewers to sift through information and of course comes with the good and the bad ( truth and lies ) and we can choose to turn off/not watch what a person finds is bs or just not interested in the topic.

      No doubt... But, as someone who doesn't pay for his services, but who has provided a few views/clicks on his Youtube platform, the data around the Mobil oil testing I think does have some value including to "freeloaders" like me.   A lot of what he's doing is likely showing the OE's work in their oil selection, something that many of us had kind of assumed was true all along, a good balance of both excellent protection and efficiency.

      Lake Speed is drumming up business for his company just by being in the spot-light so he has a vested interest in stoking the 0W-20 fire.  IMO

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I knew when I bought my truck that it had off road hill decent or craw control or whatever they call it and rolled my eyes at that but it gets throw on with other options my truck has, I just never had a heads up if the highway speed regular cruise setting had anything to do with the brakes and that took me by surprise. If you've ever been to the top of Pikes Peak and watched those ahead of you on the way down with their brake lights on constantly, one can guess they are probably not gearing down or not enough anyway if their vehicle will allow and a good reason their is a brake check spot part way down where they use an infra red heat gun to check how hot ones brakes are front and rear.    Your right that once one gets out of the front range by Denver and I've not been on that stretch of 285 between Denver and Fairplay myself but I know its high and Fairplay at 10000 feet, Buena Vista at 8000, it drops a bit from there but then your going back up and over the 11000 pass and Durango is at 6500 . So yes your definitely right that 6500 and a lot higher is the theme of going anywhere out in that direction from Denver but hey, the down hill sections give fantastic fuel mileage !.    I don't even look at the fuel pumps for what premium costs here, since I live on a farm and up to this point get fuel delivered I am rarely in front of a fuel pump and when I am, I am often using card lock bulk fuel stations so it tells me what the price is AFTER I buy the fuel. Looking up on gas buddy and converting to US gallons but in Canadian dollars, regular on average of the prices listed was around 5.95 and premium is around 7.00 . That was one reason I did not go for the 6.2 half ton aside from its lack of carrying/towing if one was going by the rule of using premium fuel and until recently one could only buy regular farm gas if playing the few cents off game for farm dyed fuel for a "farm licensed pickup". But yes I hear you on the fuel price difference and like the diesel theme with it often being more expensive then gas it doesn't have quite the charm to it either as it once did although right now here for some reason the price of diesel has come down more so its now inline with the price of regular gas.
