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.

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.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By No1UKnow · Posted

      Hello All!   My 2019 Colorado 3.6 LT, 4WD Crew Cab has approximately 77,500 miles and I recently began experiencing the well-known transmission shudder between about 30 and 65 mph. The problem had worsened to the point that I could no longer attribute it to road conditions - and I had decided to bring the truck to the dealer - when recently, I experienced a sudden loss of power while driving at maybe 40 MPH. Several warning lights flashed, the “Check Stabilitrack” message appeared, and the Check Engine, Stabilitrack, and Traction Control icons remained illuminated. The truck regained driving power, but it stayed in a low gear with unusually high RPMs for the speed. (limp mode?) Because I was only about two miles from home, driving slowly, I was able to make it back and run an OBD-II scan, which showed fault codes U0101, P0700, and U0100. My next trip in the truck was to drive it to the dealer the following day. That trip began normally, but after about a mile I experienced another loss of power, along with the same warning lights and the same “Check Stabilitrack” message. As before the truck remained driveable, but again operated at an abnormally high RPM-to-speed ratio and seemed stuck in a single gear. About a mile later, the dashboard lit up once more, this time displaying “Check 4WD.” Soon after that, I arrived at the dealer. I have verified that the truck still has its original factory transmission fluid, which means it has never received the corrective fluid exchange outlined in GM Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355.  That was Thursday of last week and I've heard nothing yet from the dealer.    According to Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355 and the build date of my truck, my truck should have the newer LV fluid. I've done a little research and read something about a problem with the wiring harness as well.   Anyone have an insights into this situation?  Thank you!!

      Gas Prices

      By PhilB · Posted

      Did you even read this article?   Even the title of the article says "U.S.-Iran Deal Doesn’t Mean a Swift Return of Oil and Gas Flows"   Remember, crude oil prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the oil companies.  Gas prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the station.  This article stated that many of the oil producing nations have to restart their processes to get the oil produced.  Then the oil has to be shipped to wherever.  And it doesn't get there overnight.  And most of that oil is not coming here. Check out this site:  https://afdc.energy.gov/data/10621   A graph will pop up to show where the US imports their oil from.  Notice that there isn't a lot of import from OPEC and Iraq.  Most of the US import comes from Canada. The US oil produces are selling their oil on the open market, which is why the US fuel costs went up.  So you're correct, the US oil companies are going to slow walk the price downward.
