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.

This is the Mazulla off road skid plate set up. Replaced the entire lower valance and they offered an optional tube front bar separately that I decided to go with (will have to paint or powder coat)

You can get from Kartek or SDHQ or mazulla directly. Big improvement. Couldn’t stand that valance.

sounds good i tried to email SDHQ but never heard back in far away and was hoping it was crazy on cost. I want the SDHQ skid cause it has the cutouts for the tow hooks and comes with the second skid for your front diff/oil pan

Call them. They get busy during the races as they’re always on site at tech with their employees.

Super happy. After I made a second skid for the oil pan haha
. I loved the front tube option so I went with mazulla. Install takes a bit but worth it in the end.

What tires are you planning on running with that kit? Also, I see that you're in MD.  Who is doing the install.

 

In other news, did anyone see the pictures on the Readylift FB page a couple of weeks ago claiming that someone was running the 35x11.50 Ridge Grapplers on stock rims with no rubbing and only their 2.25" kit???

My plans are to ditch the 20’s and run 275/70/18 I’m thinking falken wildpeak at3w. I don’t want to do any trimming. Did that in my last truck and I kinda want to stick to an at and get the mileage out of it and still have some capability. I am in western Maryland and I have a friend who is the mechanic at global truck outfitter he did the install for me.

Congrats.
Or don’t run the front plate cause it takes away a lot of the cosmetic improvements you just paid a fortune for. I haven’t run one in 15yrs
Fix it ticks aren’t that bad here in Cali though.

I had an add a leaf from a different company that was very good. It raised the rear 1 1/4”.

 

FYI, the front had a TGC 2.5” level in this pic. I eventually went to a 2” level and 1” rear block because I didn’t like the loss of factory ride and decreased range level of travel in the front at 2.5”. The increased clearance I ended up with is exactly what I wanted and I’m happy with the setup with the bigger LTZ stock wheels and tires.

Where did you get the rear block? It's really a 2" block to replace the factory block correct?

Got it from an off road store. Yes it’s a Readylift 2.25” block, which the salesperson referred to as a plus one.

so I just leveled the truck with 2.25 readylift and I'm starting to looking at wheels and tires for after winter. I'm thinking 285/70/17 Falken Wildpeak AT3W on Method Double Standards 17x8.5 0 offset. i want to run front flaps but I don't want to do any trimming unless its to the flap. Is anyone running anything similar that can get me some input. My second setup choice would be 275/70/18's just want to ditch the 20's need more tire and less wheel. Thanks

I’ve got the same 2.25” level, running Nitto Ridge Grapplers 285/60/20’s =34”. Barely rubs on the felt liner when backing up on incline. Anything taller will definitely rub fender edge requiring at least a lift.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.

      I can't believe that could possibly be the case. It should be 36mo/100k miles from installation. Then again, it also seems like since a dealership installed it, it'd all be in the system and you wouldn't need to worry about registering, either. Shows you what I know. 😄 Hope this one outlives the warranty!

      I haven't seen inventory recovery from COVID.    In the few random times I 'build my own' truck or SUV, no one has the exact one I want.   GM has been working to lower incentives too for a long time.    A $500 incentive isn't getting me off the couch to go truck shopping.
