Here is my truck after the dealer installed a 2.25” level. Put some 285/70/17 Mickey Thompson P3’s on it.

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 just installed a 2" BDS Level kit, because I got it here in the classifieds for cheap.  I may add another .5" at some point.  Stock wheels and tires for now, with 2" spacers on the wheels.  I'll be adding a Zone Add-A-Leaf (and put my cap back on), and 305/65-18's.

What year truck do you have? I have a 17 All Terrain with the same set up but with et37 and 1.25" spacers and still rub at full lock on liners. My offset is about +5 with spacers. You'll rub slightly more than me if you have a 16, 17, or 18.

You should rub liners but should also clear the upper control arms fine. Liners are easy, either trim them or pin them back. Good luck!

And I was wrong. It's a 295 55 20

Has anyone done the Readylift 2.25" kit with UCAs on a 17 Silverado and run 275/65r20s?  I searched and couldn't find that exact setup.  Unfortunately, I have the stamped steel control arms and everything I read says they are trash with a level so I figure I should go with something that swaps them out.

Alright so ... are 275/60/20 going to ‘look’ too narrow when I level? [emoji51]. Pretty set on this size as I feel it’s a good price and modification compromise.

285/55R20 are smaller than 285/65R18 (by 1/3 inch tall)

 

check this out...that size is really close to 285/65R18...i think it would be fine...but as far as Duratracs...many people love them, I am not a fan...when I got my truck, I swapped them out for KO2s within a month...

So...I see people post (here and other places) shots of their trucks with 2", 2.25", or 2.5" and each will claim it sits perfectly level...sometimes I see a post of one with a 2" and I think it looks great then I'll scroll down and see one with 2.5" and think it looks great.  I do not want my '15 Silverado Crew z71 to look like the front is higher than the rear.  A buddy of mine said a 2.5" Motofab had his sitting perfectly level (by looks and measurement) but then I see Ron505's post of his 2" BDS and it almost looks like the front is slightly higher. lol 

 

All that to say...I'm not going to be disappointed with a 2.5" Motofab on the front, am I?  I.e. it'll sit level?  Stock wheels/tires for now...will go slightly bigger on tires when I replace 'em down the road.  

 

MHardiman90's looks great to me (looks level, etc.) but I guess I'm just on the fence and wanting to make sure I'm not going to show up when they finish installing it and regret something.

That's because in reality .5" from 20 feet away isn't noticable. I think you'll be fine with whatever you get!

Anyone fit 295/70/17 on a 2" level? Not many pics online and trying to see how they look compared to 285/70/17


I just got done with my truck. 295/70r17 Toyo RT’s on method NV 17x8.5 0 offset with no rubbing. No trimming, cutting, or even zip ties on the liner. 2.5” lift in the front with king coilovers. New camburg UCA’s also 5d79f27b1905767fd09396e508558b16.jpg3eb2a6371dd608075375b90d3da03cee.jpgc0bdf6b40a421c7e421ea95a081dc374.jpgc0bdf6b40a421c7e421ea95a081dc374.jpg

      It's possible the two trucks are using different body control modules which is why yours works and the OP's doesn't.   So much in these newer vehicles depends on model/trim configurations, production date. They don't all use the same modules like back in the day.

      I forgot to answer the question as per what market mine is set to and yes I finally found that area on mine and yes its also set to America.   So here's something I realized as I wasn't looking at that part in the Sierra section until now, your right that what I see here as choice 3 under Sierra which says 07/2023-06/2026 ( 433 MHz 13542523 ) it has no choice 5 for tire pressure selection. Where as it does under the Chev choice. However I kept going down the list within the Sierra and I am really wondering if choice 9 will work for your truck as it has the same model number and hertz sensor as my truck. I would say try that choice first, if that doesn't work then jump over to the Chev section and again choose that same model and hertz choice as for some reason the Chev section gives the choice 5 of tire type/pressure selection for going back a number of years. Could very well be an Autel thing that they just didn't get the updates all done properly under Sierra but anyway first try that selection 9 I suggested under Sierra and then go from there.

      Anyone have a spare?

      Looking for this piece that holds the hose clamp in place. I have the hose clamp just not that other piece. Dealers and wrecking yards in my area will not sell just that piece. They want you to buy the whole air tube $100 +/- to get that $5 part.  that piece isn't molded to the air tube as I looked at my friends truck. It's held on by a screw and nut. I'm trying to put the OEM parts on the truck as the previous owner butchered things up installing an aftermarket CAI. It really looked homemade. 🤣 Thanks

      Ok I missed that part that yours is a GM. The strange part is that the choice for year ranges and within the year of 2026 is different on the Sierra then on the Chev for some reason as I am looking at my tool at the Sierra choices. Now I am guessing you see as to your sensor part number as it may be different on your truck for some reason and a call to GM should get you the part model number of the sensors you should have as well as which MHz your sensors are. I know mine are the ones as per what I listed but there are other choices in the Autel and got me wondering if by some chance they put different ones in your truck. Having said that, did you try using each of the choices starting from No 1 and going on down the list, not sure if that would mean shutting off the engine each time and resetting the tool and going at it again each time. Also I thought of something else which may sound retarded but if there was some stupid chance that the chev choice would work. The reason I say that is that the Sierra is showing a range up to 06/2026 for the various choices of sensors it could be where as the Chev has one choice that has that 12/2026. By the way it is possible to not run the truck and you may know that as per not pressing the brake but pressing and holding the start button for a few seconds and it lights up the dash ( its called service mode ) but that sucks battery power and if it were me doing it that way I would be throwing on a decent sized battery charger before doing it that way as killing your battery won't make you happy at me at all !.    Like I say, just a thought to try the Chev choices if you have already exhausted the Sierra choices but first it would be nice to know for sure what exact sensor model and hertz your truck uses as I assume only those choices that mention the sensor would work unless a choice that does not mention the sensor model would somehow work. Its frustrating when one is trying to use tools like this without the experience of the tool and the vehicle, as I am sure dealer techs themselves struggle with it when starting out or a new model year comes along that is slightly different.

      I tried before I updated the scan tool just incase an update messed it up, but it never worked so I updated the scan tool and it still didn't work.   Only difference is I click on Sierra not Chevrolet cause I have a Sierra.   If I click on 2026-2024 I didn't have any option to change placard, when I click on 2023 it does give me the option but when I try to do it,.it says vehicle not supported!   I have my region or market or whatever it is set to America I think, is that what yours is set to?
