That looks awesome! Going to do the same setup but with a 2" level until I can afford coilovers, and bronze NV with nitto g2s. Do you have any pics from the side? Truck looks great

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.

Thanks brother! Motofab 2.5" level, rear is stock. BORA 1.25" wheel spacers. Toyo R/Ts 33x12.5. 

Man, your trucks looks awesome! Perfect setup.
How much of a power/mpg hit did you take? Any rubbing?

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.  
 

I have the 3/2 MotoFab kit on my 15 LT. I took measurements from level ground to outer fender lip. These pics are before I went up to 285/70/17. As you can see by the measurements I still have roughly 1” rake. I still need to get measurements since I got the bigger tires.

Before 3/2 level
RF 35 3/8
LF 35 3/8
LR 38 3/8
RR 38 3/8

After 3/2 level
RF 39 1/8
LF 38 3/8
LR 40
RR 40 1/8

I wish I had the factory 17's instead of 18's.  

You went up to a 32.6" tire which is probably all you'll need to give it that balanced look.  Pics with the 285's would be great.

I’m actually looking for the black Police Tahoe wheels to get rid of my shiny ones. It looks more raked because it’s on my sloped driveway. a612550882444552f54b3ae905e73511.jpg

That right there is the look I'm going for.  Go up in tire size just enough to look right and to keep the mpgs close to stock.  Ive got stamped steel control arms so Ima go with a 3.5" lift but with new knuckles.

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...



I have 20’s, so I won’t be getting an 18” sized tire. Any one have input on 275/60/20 and the ‘look’ factor of them? Not a huge change from stock but enough from a side
Profile that I think it fills the wheel wells better than a 55 sized tire.

Thanks bud! I lost about 2 miles per gallon. I'm averaging about 16-17 now but on highway I get up to 21mpg. Very happy! Only rubbing fender liners on full lock and a little more in reverse. No big deal though, either go to trim or pin back.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By newdude · Posted

      On the PCM side, blue PCM connector, pin 18, solid gray color (no stripe) wire circuit 435.  That is the EGR low circuit which an issue on that line (be it the wiring, the PCM or the EGR valve or system performance) will trigger P0401 when it tests that code.     There is also a VERY old TSB that states to make sure you clear the DTCs ANY time the PCM is unplugged, reprogrammed, or if the EGR valve is unplugged or replaced as the PCM has an auto zero function in the PCM for the EGR pintle data   61-65-59: SMU - SECTION 6E - ENGINE CONTROLS - CLEAR DTC'S - (Nov 25, 1996)   "CLEAR ANY DTCS FROM THE VCM ANYTIME AFTER DOING VCM REPLACEMENT/ PROGRAMMING, TURNING THE IGNITION ON WHILE THE EGR VALVE IS DISCONNECTED, OR REPLACING THE EGR VALVE."   Some diagnostic aid notes in the GM diag on P0401 for a 1995 S10 Blazer:   Diagnostic Aids Notice: In order to prevent further damage if the EGR valve shows signs of excessive heat, check the exhaust system for blockage (possibly a plugged converter) using the procedure found on the restricted exhaust system check. If the exhaust system is restricted, repair the cause; one of which might be an injector which is open due to one of the following reasons: Stuck Grounded driver circuit Check the oil for possible fuel contamination if a stuck open fuel injector is found. Poor connection or damaged harness - Inspect VCM harness connectors for the following conditions: Backed out terminal BL 18 Improper mating Broken locks Improperly formed or damaged terminal Poor terminal to wire connection Damaged harness Intermittent test - If connections and harness check OK, monitor a digital voltmeter connected between terminal BL 18 and ground while moving related connectors and wiring harness. If the failure is induced, the voltage reading will change.

      HighMileage oils or stay with Dexos 1 ?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      This biggest difference in a HM oil is in contains some  "Seal Conditioner". DEXOS oils and most shelf oils are "Dry" oils which over time harden seals. "Seal Conditioner" is more times than not, an Ester. Addition will soften the seals over time but will not repair one that leaks or has cracked. Esters also provide some cleaning but these HM oils don't contain enough to solve out hard deposits. Just the soft stuff.  Also a function of an Ester.    Ester's are not 'allowed' as a 'co-base" by license. Weird, right?  A certain amount is allowed as an additive. Bunch of game playing is what it is. It's why HM oils don't have a DEXOS approval.    DEXOS is a license 'with' a specification but is not a specification. Never was, never will be. It's GM's slot machine always paying the house. Use what you like.

      2018 Suburban Radiator provide cooling of transmission fluid

      Have you already dealt with the trans thermostat, which I think your burb might have?  I know the trucks have one that keep the trans temp higher.

      Code Salad Deluxe -- MAJOR issues -- HELP!

      By soundquest · Posted

      Our 2007 Acadia had a stroke basically and the car will not move now (although it starts but the idle is erratic with the RPM's fluttering). I can get into reverse and the car will actually move, but in Drive, the throttle does not respond and the car will only move an inch or two at the most. Gauge messages abound -- the usual suspects. Somewhere in the wiring, something has to have gone horribly awry -- either at the BCM (could be right at the harness plug), under the fuse block where all the wires terminate, or a failed ground (or even a bad BCM). In any case, with the number and type of codes I am getting, I am looking for some additional guidance as I know my issue cannot be unique but one of many that has afflicted other Acadias (and similar varieties). Here is the code list (and there are additional codes as well, but these are the big ones):
