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.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By GN2018 · Posted

      6.) Check the play in the back seat cushion.   I stuffed a towel in-between the seat back and the window/rear wall and that cured the rattle.  Of course, that's not a permanent fix but it clearly identified the problem in my truck.  Realistically, I'll probably just shove something behind there and leave it at that, but the better solution would be to remove the seat and figure out how to tighten up that connection.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jake87 · Posted

      Bro, you still got that truck? I'm not seeing any m rust or flaking, which rusted metal flakes. Everyone thinks the wax "is rusty" but it absorbs its surrounding environment, creating a hard, natural shell that you can literally shoot with a bullet and won't flake off. It'll last 50 years like that as long as the barrier isn't compromised by getting in a wreck or meets a chemical that disolves wax. My 09's frame is even duller looking than that, and is holding up better than my rockers or 3rd set of painted shocks.

      auto mechanical driver's door unlock without pressing button? [2026 Silv. 1500 WT 4WD RC SB 2.7L]

      By newdude · Posted

      No.   That would be an LT and higher trim.  Passive entry.  There would be a little button on the door handle and you can program it to proximity lock or unlock.     WT and Custom do not get this feature.

      Mediocre, how much did they lose on the poorly conceived EV strategy?   I wonder how much the stock price is being 'inflated' by all the buy-backs?   Cadillac literally looks like a brand without a rudder, no clear goals or product direction - performance or luxury? I guess performance because we can throw a small block in whatever we can and call it a day. Certainly not luxury when a Denali or High Country is reasonably cross shoppable. The Celestiq - no way - no vehicle can command quarter million prices when something wearing the same badge is on the buy here pay here lot across town.   Notice the 'base' Escalade doesn't even come with the 'leather-appointed' seating surfaces.   Hummer EV - fail Silverado EV - fail Sierra EV - fail Bolt/Volt EV (The most successful EV cancelled, restarted, cancelled, whatever its current status it)   Hybrids - none Sedans - none Medium duty - not anymore Minivan - none Coupe - none Convertible - none CUVs - 20+/-   6.2 Recall that landed squarely on the GMs highest seller - and specifically the fattest margin higher trims of the Yukon, Escalade, et. al. The most critical product line they fumbled big time. In the Escalade segment, are those buyers forgiving GM for a bad engine and patiently waiting for the fixes and dealing with the headaches? Nope, they dump them and go straight to the other premium brands.   In the ENTIRE GM portfolio how many aspirational vehicles are there? Corvette, Escalade (quickly being superseded by the obvious better value Denali)...   I posted somewhere else... what if Cadillac left the luxury game and became a performance brand similar to AMG or (gasp) Ferrari? Cut all the entry-level and base models from their line up and focus on the V-series or Blackwing or whatever they call it now. Of course, those would have the pre-requisite luxury and technology as standard equipment. This opens the floor for Buick to step in/up as the luxury brand (like they are in China), no 'performance pretenses' get rid of the 'entry-level' models with equally 'entry-level' power trains and become the Maybach to Cadillacs AMG. With those two brands effectively out of the way Chevrolet, the 'entry-level' brand has the floor to itself and GMC can take over as 'professional grade'.    Now each brand has a focus, no in-fighting, clear direction, and customer targets.   Just need to sneakily slide Corvette into the Cadillac brand and dump the vestigial script writing.
