Btw, our stock wheels typically run a +28 or so and that’s why we get so much rubbing after leveling with stamped steel UCA’s, the stamped steel UCA’s really bring the wheels in more after leveling. It was a fart of a thought on GM’s side especially learning off of this screwup because now it’s either a standard stock raised they’re doing on a couple 2019 off-road trucks or optioned out on ordering. It’s a cluster F$@&, causing us to spend more especially running on 20’s

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.

Mine is finally done! After months of research I went with the RC 2.5" level kit front only, stock rear block. 20"x9" Fuel Nutz w/ +1 offset, 33x12.50x20 Toyo M/T tires. No rubbing, No trimming, yet a

You couldn’t pay me to add any RC product on any of my vehicles. The really good shops won’t touch them mostly cause they’re constantly coming back for repairs that were due to RC products themselves. RC is garbage wanna-be-a-lift. Avoid it like the plague!!

There are other companies that make far better products. Trail Master which is owned by ProComp and identically made even has a $1K 6” lift kit that would be far better than an RC product.

Bilstein 5100s at max height with fuel 20x10s -18 offset with 305/55R20s
I had to remove my factory mudflaps for now. I'm rubbing at full lock on some of the plastic and the felt. Curious if I should add a 1" spacer to gain a little more height or if I should just go ahead and trim out what I can first. The bilsteins gave me right at 2 inches of lift. 66ccceebd9e199592c26f0a0884f7fa4.jpg

Added a 3/2 leveling kit, differential drop, bilstiens in the rear. 275/65/r20 BFG's on factory wheels with 2" spacers. The tires do rub. 1.5" spacers should arrive today. I think the 1.5 spacers will remove the rubbing. If not I will trim a little. The tires do not rub with no spacer.

Can you please post more pictures of your truck. I have a white Silverado with stock z71 rims and I was trying to find them in black on a white truck. Also what size tires are you running?

I don’t have time to read through everything, I need tires like now. My stock SRAs are slipping and sliding all over the place on wet roads. I want to upgrade tires and get a level. I’m looking at the rough country 2” lift. What is the biggest tire I can get on stock wheels? I have a ‘17 LTZ Z71 with 20” wheels. It will be a few months before I can upgrade those.

I have the same setup on a '15. Tires I used are 275/65/20. KO2. No rub at all.

There's 2 reasons why I can't wait for you to get this lift installed.

1. I want to see the pics. I've been considering this lift for awhile because I don't want my track width pushed out. Please post some pics from the side so we can see how it actually sits. Not the angle laying on the ground with the wheels flexed trying to make the lift look huge.

2. I'm wondering if CST is going to pay you for advertising with how much you've been posting about their lift lol. Are you going with the spacers or CSTs coil overs?

Picked it up today,
4.5” CST Lift up front, 3” added in rear with taller shocks, brand new Bilsteins all the way around. Testing out the new Bilsteins to see if maybe I had a prior faulty one.

I’ve been contemplating it, I’ll have to wait and see the drive quality with these. I’m debating going to coilovers for now, I’ve spent to much time dealing with this truck, looking forward to reviewing what I’ve got and going from there. So far, I LOVE THIS LIFT, perfect height, just working at getting the best/smoothest ride possible especially driving in shit town roads Houston.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By JimCost2014 · Posted

      If what you are doing works, keep doing it:   4LO (Four-Wheel Drive Low) should only be used in extreme low-speed, high-torque situations such as deep mud, heavy snow, steep rock crawling, or extreme inclines/declines, and you must follow the correct engagement procedure to avoid drivetrain damage. Intended Use Cases Deep mud or snow where traction is extremely poor and you need maximum torque to get unstuck Trucks Only+1. Rock crawling on steep, uneven terrain forum.fullsizechevy.com+1. Extreme inclines or declines where you need to control speed and maintain traction solutionsphere.blog. Heavy towing in low-traction conditions (e.g., deep sand, ice) carclubsusa.com.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By rdonarski · Posted

      Hi,   I work a steep boat landing that has patchy blacktop going down the hill and soft sand/gravel at the bottom. Due to low water levels, it's not always possible reach the blacktop. I've had to help several people get out this year already and with fall coming, I'm anticipating more. I always use 4L. There was a gentleman there today with a 2500 HD (actually 2 - him and his son both have them) and they were trying to get his son's wake boat out. This gentleman swears that you should use 4H in the soft gravel. Says he was a farmer and you always use higher gear when stuck. I was wonder what your thoughts on this are? If I'm wrong, it would be good to find out before things get busy.

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By Bill Lemmond · Posted

      Looking for feedback from users of roll up aluminum slat bed covers who have had it for more than 3 years. I prefer the aluminum slat style over supported vinyl covers due to security and the capacity to support a light load. The slight loss of bed opening when rolled up is not an issue. Presently have BAK Revolver the "industrial grade vinyl overlay" on mine is shrinking & coming loose at the rear and on both sides in addition to cracking at some of the folding joints. Truck lives outdoors in NC latitude. Can't justify the steep price to replace it with another one if that's the expected lifespan. Do you have a better alternative?

      BAK Revolver bed cover

      By Bill Lemmond · Posted

      Thanks, your last sentence is the root of my problem, outdoors truck and southern latitude = UV overload. Looking at replacing with Rough Country powder coated aluminum slat roll up model.

      Tire fitment

      By JakeD · Posted

      I’m looking at putting a lift in my 2024 gmc sierra 1500 elevation trim, has anyone had any luck with fitting a bigger tire under the rear for a spare?? Was gonna go with a 4 inch zone lift Also what wheel and tire size setup are you all running? Wondering if I can get away with keeping around the stock size a 33 inch, and just get some new wheels to have enough back spacing then I can just keep my original spare tire I have under the truck now.
