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.

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?

      Castrol Edge VS Amsoil OE

      By diyer2 · Posted

      I use Amsoil's OE line of motor oil (5W20) in our 19 Hyundai Santa Fe. I noticed today on the web site it now says (47% more wear protection1 than required by the GM dexos1 Gen 2 specification). Maybe I  missed it but I don't think so.

      The amount of storage in the rear seat area is huge. You can keep all your cycle gear dry and clean back there

      Subtle vibration, can of worms opened.

      By Sparky176 · Posted

      Truck in fluid changes and investigate subtle shudder at cruising speeds.  Told them it felt like my ‘14’s shudder when AFM kicked in.   Dealer #1 :  You need a new torque converter.   6 weeks later, after causing other damages to my truck, I get the truck back.  Same shudder exists. New, more violent shifts and vibrations at low speed.  After choice words and a few more weeks of waiting for them to replace my running boards supports, I move on to another Dealer.   Dealer #2:  The cruising speed shudder is DFM.  (I didn’t realize truck had it.) The TCM/ECM needs updates.  Updates will solve all vibration issues.   They perform updates, truck seemed ok in lot.  Not a mile down the road, SERVICE BRAKE PAD MONITOR. Dealer #1 stated brakes were at 4mm.   took truck back to Dealer #2, rear brakes at 2mm and less than 1mm.     New pads/rotors on rear, new pads up front.   truck seems good. Toggle through menus, brake monitor system is disabled.  Huh?  Why? Turn that sucker on : SERVICE BRAKE SYSTEM!     will not reset manually, automatically, or even after pulling negative bat cable for 30min.     Could the TCM/ECM updates the culprit?    A torque converter diagnosis for a “normal” shudder and now I’m thousands in the hole and the truck still isn’t right!  Beyond pissed.

      Trim level custom/pro

      By c4racer2 · Posted

      Seats matter a lot.  I would start there - good advise here.  I had a 2018 LT Colorado before my 2026 LT Silverado, and the seats are so much better in the new one it's not even a contest.  That was one thing I always hated about the Colorado and I owned two of them spanning 10 years - but I did it so I could park in the garage mainly.  Now I have a much larger property and a huge barn so I have plenty of parking options and a full size is more useful for maintaining the property and current hobbies as well.  I wasn't evenb thinking about the seats as part of the reason for the move to the Silverado, but after two back to back 700mile road trips I am sold on the LT seats w/ leather 100%.  The other LT features are also nice - one thing I really like is the power rear window on the back window by the bed.  And the lighting in the bed is also very nice to have - I doubt that comes on the lower models.  Power tailgate - also quite useful - it's a heavy slug!  What else - I could take or leave the screen - but heated seats and steering wheel and cruise control on the steering wheel is very useable - I would never want to live without that.  Even the colorados had that.
