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.

Mine is finally done! After months of research I went with the RC 2.5" level kit front only, stock rear block. 20"x9" Fuel Nutz w/ +1 offset, 33x12.50x20 Toyo M/T tires. No rubbing, No trimming, yet a

295/55/r20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers.    These tires ride MUCH better than the terra grappler g2's and look better.

No rubbing.

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. 

 

 

Update, it was shown, over 33" on stock rims rubs fender, Wider than 11.5 rubs control arm.  so it's a bit of both.

It’s been a little over a year since I’ve wrote in hear so I figured I’d give y’all an update on my truck. 3” Supreme Suspensions leveling kit with stick lift in the rear. 27,000 miles on it now and still no issues. I drive my truck on pavement 95% of the time also so there is no major wear and tear from off roading on the suspension. Truck still rides great, gives me the clearance I want to fit the tires I want. Below are 3 pictures of my truck with 3 different setups on it with the measurements of how tall the front and rear fenders are with the tires an wheels that are pictured. Set one is 20x9 with stock tires. Set two are 18x10 -24 offset motometals with 33x12.50x18 mud claws on it. Third setup is 33x12.50x20 Toto MT’s with the stock 20x9 wheels. As expected the only tires that scrubbed were the Toyos on the control arms. A set of spacers will fix that problem tho. The other 2 sets cleared with no problem at all. Hopefully this helps someone out!

Jamie,
Truck is looking good with that setup...I am on the verge of doing a 2 inch lift on mine as well. I have the black insert 22 inch rims and really like them but it needs more tire around the rim to look balanced to me...Can you post any direct side pics of yours...I would like to see what your fender to top of tire distance looks like as well with the changes. Thanks.

I agree. Rim is too big at 22" to look right. The 20"s look much better imo.

I have a 2018 Seirra Denali 1500 with a 6.2 and added a RC 2.5” leveling kit. With leveling kit in and when 4 wheel drive engaged it have a pretty good vibration when engine is under a load. Anyone else have this? Take leveling kit out and it goes away.

Did you change the UCAs when you did the level?

I had it professionally done. I don’t believe that’s necessary with mag ride for a leveling kit?

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Atlas · Posted

      On the subject of OLM, Gm's OLM tool may be more "informed" than others brands. I recall OLM's in mid-2000's Chrysler products literally counting down a set number of miles. That's all the OLM appeared to be.    I would actually expect GM to be able to explain the parameters that their OLM takes into account from a high level. No, I would not expect them to disclose their software coding or data analysis around their parameters.   So we're talking about two different topics, so to continue the subject on the other one, I'd be curious to know how much "standard particulate matter" in fresh oil is able to be filtered at first start by a fresh oil filter. How much particulate matter is enough to "matter"?   I.e. how much of a "lever" do we think this equates to (variability in particulate content, in fresh oils, between different makes/brands, some which filter less, and some that filter more).   We can say that more particles = more wear = shorter engine life as a logical statement and use that data with a little marketing to scare people into selecting a more refined/filtered oil. Using a similie, is this like deciding to forego two alcoholic drinks in a lifetime because we're worried about the potential impact on lifespan? Are there numbers which translate the ISO test results into a quantifiable increase in wear for a given engine/use case?

      I'm pretty sure it doesn't actually recalibrate the speedometer it just changes the wheel speed sensor inputs to the computer. The truck still thinks it has stock tires.

      I apologize, I missed this post, at risk of going off CURRENT TOPIC.   I'm not saying it is BS, I'm questioning how much information is being held back. GM is NOT going to spell out exactly every parameter in the algorithm. Liability, intellectual property, etc.    I'm not naive enough to believe that it is as simple as revolutions, coolant temperature, miles, time; are you?    I don't do irrational either, and boiling the OLM down to four simple values that I could code in an afternoon (I'm not a coder) is irrational - unless it suits your agenda to ignore it.

      Chris 21 I appreciate your constructive response. !!  😉😉😉   The 6.6 is gas.  Correct me if I’m wrong but by recalibrating the speedo you’re correcting the shift points of the transmission on these trucks.?.

      That is a huge misconception.     Bigger does not always equal safer.  Modifying does not make it safer either, with exceptions.   Think of this.  Your truck in stock form is capable of emergency maneuvers, proper stopping distances, its handling is designed around the factory wheel/tire packages, etc.   37s and a lift?  Now you've affected your braking distances, handling and ride control.  You've raised your center of gravity higher.  Your front visibility is now obstructed more than stock, same for your rear.  Does it look cooler?  Yes.  Does it now work as good as it did from factory on road?  NO.       As for my mention of exceptions?  Say you had a sedan or crossover.  They typically come with all season tires.  If you swap out for a performance all season or a summer tire, you improve your car by lowering its stopping distance (better braking because of traction) and improve the handling (regular and emergency) of the vehicle.  That is an actually improving modification.  My old 2019 LD 1500, I ran UHP all season tires on 20in wheels in a factory offered size.  It improved all aspects of how it drove over the Duratracs it came with from the factory in the stock 18" tire.
