Yeah it's not the height of the tire, it's the width that cause a rub on the sway bar, control arm or fender. The height will usually only cause rub on the fender. 

yep, I agree. There's a large variance in what tires can fit each of these trucks, and every case seems to be different. I understand offset is critical here but one persons fitment is another persons nightmare it seems.

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.

Installed a MotoFab 2" level on my 2018 Sierra today. Took a little over 2 hours. Only ride difference is I can feel small bumps like a gravel road a little more. No difference on pavement. Love losing most of that factory rake. Will be looking into 33's at some point down the road.

Wonder why? 

 

Not sure. He had rub on the carpet liner. I had rub on the cab body mount. Strange because the wheel offset was identical. He was running 295/70/17 and I had to size down to 285/70/17. I still ended up with zip tied and trimmed ponders and mud flaps.

 

I also subject my truck to a workout off-road. Most of the individuals here who claim no rubbing are in a parking lot or doing a 3 point turn on flat ground. Different animal when your suspension is flexed.

I have 295/60/20 with a 2" level.   I have not gone rock crawling or anything like that, but I am in the dirt on jobsites at least a few times a week.  Sometimes on nicer dirt roads, and other times over piles of dirt, slopes, etc.  The only rubbing I can find is just on the sway bar at full lock.  Pretty much every GM that I have had with larger tires has rubbed there and it has never been an issue.  The tires come really close to the liners but there is no evidence of rubbing there yet.

Has anyone fit 285/75/r17s on a 2" level? I'm going to be doing bilsteins at the top setting and debating between 285/75 and 285/70

It all depends on offset and wheel width. What are you planning for wheels?

 

285/70/17 on 17x9 +6 on my truck with bilsteins @ 2" clears with no rubbing, it is close to the fender liner/flap  though.

285/70r17 at 0mm offset needed trimming to not rub at 3” of lift.

Rough Country 2" kit on my truck.  As measured, there is 1/4 inch of rake but, man, does it look high in the front.  Parked on even a very slight incline the nose definitely looks higher.   I am strongly considering the RC 2" rear block to eliminate this.

      Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      The thinking is that starting out in a higher gear makes it easier to avoid applying excessive torque when pressing the gas pedal. In a modern 4wd truck with 4 low and a limited slip or locking rear end, I would use 4 low and try to crawl up the ramp. Sometimes if they are too slippery, you have to back up to let the boat have some bouyancy, and then accelerate briskly to get some momentum to help you pull the through the slippery parts.

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.
