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.

So the general consensus on the late model pre-19s is that you HAVE to get new wheels?  Personally I've been running 275/65/20 on my 18 with no level.  I haven't checked in awhile if I'm rubbing or not.  I would love to level it but all I keep reading is it will definitely rub if I do.  I haven't felt rubbing on my current setup.
I have a 1.75 inch pro ride level up front. Running 275/ 60/20 Duratrac on stock wheels. I have an extremely minor rub on the upper control arm at full lock. And the truck drives great

I checked out Freedom Offroad’s site. They make UCAs for cast arm ($300) and stamped/aluminum arm ($380) trucks. Says they’re for 2-4” lift

Sorry got stuck at work a few days. Wheels are factory midnight addition from my 2017 z71 suburban. 2 in rc level, with Cooper sst pro 275/70/18. Some random shots. If you want something specific just let me know.. zero rubbing.


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?

Looks damn nice... Bilstein's, intake and long tubes are my next upgrades.... Come spring



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.

Random thought and of topic from this thread but what exhaust you running?

I leveled mine as soon as I bought the truck, rode somewhat rougher afterwards then all hell broke loose as soon as I added the 275/60/20 KO2’s. Bought new wheels and tires and now I’m on a lift lol. You may be able to get away with the Adjustable Bilstein 5100 struts up front raised to, I think max 1.75” but couldn’t be certain. I wish I had someone inform me all this before I did the level, lessons learned, better off saving up for a CST lift and before you know it you’ll be riding up in style! Just a thought

Appreciate it, the Bilsteins are ok, just not what I was expecting even though I went ahead and had them replace the front ones with new 5100’s and new longer ones in the rear I just don’t like the ride quality going over a bit of a rough road. A few days ago I ordered the front CST coilovers with no resi for the 4.5” lift and just now got off the phone with my 4x4 guy ordering the rear with resi’s for only 40$ more, both with and without resi’s ride exactly same way only difference is the resi’s stay cooler longer. Everything being installed next week. In addition, spoke with CST today and they said I can use either the AAL or a replace the 3” block with the 4” block to get higher rear Incase the coilovers lift up the front but they said they shouldn’t as long as I dial them down to stock. That was exhausting lol

Stock, with the 6.2 it already sounds like a performance exhaust especially at cold start. In addition, I was advised not to do a performance exhaust cause the 6.2 unleashes very loud uncontrollable growling sound. Aside of doing this build, having to order and wait and buildout, I absolutely love my truck even more now. Who knows, one day I may have the heads worked on and throw on a blower HA, Not!

Understandable... I have the 5.3 with flowmaster 40 serious. Definitely sounds good very daily drivable, but once I get the long tubes I'm putting the super 10 on there.... If you think it is too loud go louder.... At least that's what my grandfather use to say... Lol

Buddy has the 6.2 and cold start definitely is deep. I'd love to have that motor. But with splurging on the suburban and the Silverado in 2017 (both new), I had to skimp on one a little.. Lol

Got mine taken care of this weekend.  275/60/20 Ridge Grapplers and a 2" RC leveling kit.

I think I'm going to pick up some vinyl and black out the emblems, get an exhaust put on, and get a tonneau cover, and that's pretty much it.  I'm really happy with the truck overall and can't see getting rid of it any time soon.

Can’t go wrong with Nitto Ridge Grapplers. I bet you’re already experiencing the difference between your stock tires and these E rated. Truck looks good.

Thanks!! There’s a definite difference, but I had 35x12.50/18 F rated Ridge Grapplers on my 2500 Ram, so I’m kind used to it. I didn’t like the way the Wranglers rode at all.

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      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?

      Its just that it worked on 2024 trucks on this forum and my 2025 model truck, unless GM did something since that point to screw up access or Autel has a bad update. I haven't had need to use my tool since last year when I did the changes to the placard pressure settings and since then I updated the software on my Autel but have not plugged into the OBD so hard to say if I would get a surprise as well.    All I know last year when I bought the Autel I was warned to be sure to update it before I tried using the unit as they said who knows how long ago unit itself was actually manufactured as the software could be way out of date.
