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.

I can’t be the only one has the vibration issue with a leveling kit out there! Like I said my ‘17 denali was perfect with a rc 2” leveling kit. My 18 denali shakes under a load. ESP in 4 wheel drive. Had rc 2.5 and currently has readylift 1.5 with factory block in back. Both have shake issues. Really regretting my good buy on the 18 now ??  I guess if there is anyone else that had this issue, I’m curious what was done if anything to fix issue. Would really hate to go back to stock

Why did you go from a 17 to a 18? So without the level theres no shake?

Honesty the dealer called me and gave me an awesome deal. I really like this body style so I thought why not have the newest in this style I could get. Now I really wish I wouldn’t have. Yes without the level everything is fine.

2.5 rough country, seems like I didn’t get a full 2 inches of lift. Front I remember was about 36 1/2 and after kit I’m at 38 1/2. I had a shit ton of rake the back was at 39 1/2 and now it sits just under 40 1/2. Wheels and tires this upcoming Saturday throwing on 285/55r20 ridge grapplers on 20x10 xd 820 grenades

After looking around for weeks I went with 2.5” motofab leveling kit. I was lucky enough to have a 2014 GMC Sierra Denali before magneride or else that would have definitely cut down on my options. The place I got my wheels and tires had this thing installed in about an hour and 15 minutes. I love the simplicity of just a spacer on top. And so far the ride is same as stock.

Why would it cut down on your options? 

 

 

I have the 2017 with the suspension maxx 2.5. all you have to do is have the dealer "re-zero" the magnaride in the computer.

I didn’t do it because the clips were very fragile and where they plug into the electric power steering is a fragile area I could tell I was going to break if I kept trying to unplug them. I got one off but the other two plugs were not going off without breaking. I unplugged the battery and had no issues. You just need to make sure you support your lower control arm and knuckle after you break loose the upper ball joint and unbolt the ABS line otherwise it will snap. I couldn’t believe it wasn’t in the instructions to do that.

Just keep an eye on all brake lines and abs lines and you will be fine, I installed the 2.5 inch RC yesterday took about 3 1/2 hours for the front and rear.

You have to unless you only want to do the bottom 2 inch, in that case why get the 2.5 kit.?

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Maybe, but it seems he is the only one that has backed up data to prove what he is stating. I think he is doing this more because he enjoys it and wants to get the information out to us. He's got the knowledge and access to the proper equipment and having the funds doesn't hurt.  I would love to do what he is doing and would do it if and when I hit the Powerball.  I'm not a Tribologist by any means but love to learn what I can.   I would bet there would be doubting people out there if a completely independent lab with high quality work and highly respected in the automotive industry, put out information like this.  The world can't be pleased, one just has to take the information that they are given, do more of their own research to find actual lab data to back up what they are trying to figure/find out.  Most don't bother, they just want to believe what they first see.     I don't have the minimax but my 6.2 in my 2019 Silverado with 64k miles shows excellent UOA results with 0w-20 and for my own purposes 5w-20.  Since not much of a change using 5w. I liked the data sheet information on the SS 5w-20 and figured I would give it a try.  Still the same viscosity at 100℃.   In the end we all just do what makes us happy, life is too short to get upset over trivial social media.   On a side note, I do feel GM has dropped the ball and just cares about the bottom dollar and not quality anymore.  "Like a Rock" has been long gone.  Seems "Built Ford Tough" has as well.

      2026 sierra bad brake controller

      By flattop · Posted

      Hello, my 3 month old Sierra Elevation wont recognize a trailer with electric brakes? All the lights work correctly, but no power to the brakes?   This is the factory installed brake controller. If you manually push the knob, the display shows the power % but does not light up like my 2022 silverado.   I have an appointment with the dealer, but was checking to see if anyone else has seen this issue.    Thanks,

      Post your latest oil change.

      Been using SS 0w-20 from new, but wanted to change to the 5w-20 because I liked the data on the data sheet, to me it seems like a little better product. But as you can see, not much difference. This is also with running a mix of 10 gallons E85 to a tank topped with 93. It isn't a flex fuel vehicle so any higher I get a CEL for running lean on both banks. Yes my mileage takes a hit. Instead of 20 mpg I normally get on trips I get 17mpg. This is also using EaO17 filter.  What is amazing is I have the AMSOIL cone filter on it since I have the GM Performance intake installed and that air filter has 44k miles on it.  I just take it out and shop vac it off once a year.  I use the upholstery tool on my shop vac.  Works well.

      Starting a new thread regarding mounting my 2014 OEM wheels to my 2026

      By revmanii · Posted

      So, lot's of googling and reading, and a trial fit found, that indeed they hit the newer fatter caliper. I did some re-testing today, and found just 3/16" worth of washers was enough for the wheel to spin freely. I added 2 more on each, and again it spun freely. Tested lock to lock with the 4 washers, about 5/16" not quite the 3/8" Im considering, but pretty close. No issues. I've been looking at the BORA .375" spacers and using extended lugnuts to get back lost thread due to the spacer. All the ET lugs I've seen are all .33" reach inside the wheel lug holes. For those that don't like spacers or think they're unsafe, I think it depends on what type of spacers you're using and making sure you get good quality hubcentric ones, and if you're using bolt on ones, regular mainenance, checking the spacer lugs. Not wanting or needing that much spread. Looking for the minimum that will let me run these rims and tires.  it does look to stick out a little, but I really want put these on. and use the stock all-terrains in the winter.
