I was looking at images on google when I came across this picture. I clicked on the link and it sent me over to Pinterest lol the description on the pic says that it has a 3 inch motofab level kit and 33 inch tires with method wheels. 

I have a 3" level on mine with Cognito upper control arms.  My tire size is 285/65/18, roughly a 33'' tire....I've had zero issues.  I am planning on changing out the level with the King 2.5 Coilovers very soon.

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.

Did you do the zone trim plates yourself?

Finally got my baja kits on after waiting several months. Upper and lower control arms, modified and revalved the king shocks for much better rebound and removed a limiter spacer so the shock uses all of its droop travel. This thing now rides on a cloud! beb27fe72103368ef8870a882b134ea3.jpg2678e3acea3d0ef64e521bcd23973628.jpg139ac07d404c79e295a2e4f84f64a203.jpg51b6bbebd31460101817bbdef8edaaa3.jpg

Just installed a 2.5” RC leveling kit and put on K02 275/65R20s. Happy with the finished product, just need to trim a little felt that is rubbing.

I have an 18 1500 that has 2.25 inch level in the front and I’m going to put a 2”block in the back. Thinking about going to 17 or 18 inch wheels (running 20’s now)- I just like more tire than wheel- what offset should I look at to keep them tucked and not so wide? Also could I run a 34 or 35 inch tire?

Hello all!

 

First of all, thanks to all of you who contribute to this site.  It is great!

 

I've read through this thread and I am left with a few specific questions regarding my 2018 Z71 (stamped steel UCA's).

  1. If I go with the TGC 2" leveling kit, do I still need to swap out my UCA's?  (my backup plan is the 2.25 Readylift kit with UCA's)
  2. Assuming the TGC 2" kit is "safe" for my 2018 stamped steel UCA's, can I fit 285/65/r18 BFG KO2's on my stock wheels without any rubbing (I have seen several different opinions about this setup).  I'm hoping that the narrow section width BFG's will not rub my UCA's or sway bar.  I'm aware that I'll have to tie back the felt, etc.
  3. What size KO2 will fit on my bone stock truck if I tie back the felt and decide to leave the suspension alone?

Thanks in advance!

 

Regards,

 

RCD

So after a 2" level and ReadyLift control arms, I do get a very slight rub on the upper control arms.  Has anyone extended the steering stops to keep from full lock hitting the arm?  It would not be that much so I don't think it would be that much of a problem for the turning radius.

Scott, what did you end up doing here? I just installed 275/65/20 K02s with a 2.5" RC lift w/ the 2" rear block. Definitely rubbing the UCAs as well when initially i thought it was just the felt. Trying to decide what to do now...

Are you 100% it’s the UCA’s. I was positive that is what mine was rubbing, but it was actually hitting the sway bar. Most noticeable hard right going forward. I have 275-60/20’s and I scrub the sway bar, I’m not sure how you wouldn’t with an even taller tire. Mine is a 2018 as well so same UCA set up

Wepii, are yours still hitting the sway bar or did you change your setup?

Still hitting if I pull as hard as I can on steering wheel, I just try not to do that and I’m good

Was curious if someone could point me in the direction of some 1.5 inch rear blocks that are not tapered. Would like a pinch of rake after the level

After reading everything I could find, I finally made a decision.  I chose 285/60/18 BFGoodrich KO2's, no lift, no leveling, stock everything.

Thanks to all who have contributed to this thread.  It was nice to see what others have done with their trucks.  I've had my share of lifted trucks (some of them crazy high like 12" on 40's)...I'm enjoying this one a bit closer to the ground.

 

The ride and handling are much better...especially the handling.  I'm impressed with the KO2s.

Do you think with new control arms they would fit without rubbing? Thinking about going this same route with my setup except some readylift control arms

      Manufactuer's Defect - Paint Failure - Cherry Red High Country 2021 Suburban

      By AlVeron · Posted

      This is NOT impact damage nor neglect. There were previous class action lawsuits because of such paint preparation st GM manufacturing plant. Not just the Cherry Red Color. This paint is applied in three processes to obtain the desired color.  The manufacturer will cover for 36 months or 36k miles only. That rust is actually corrosion because of the paint process failure. Corrosion is covered for 100,100 miles or a certain months. However their corrosion doesn't include this type. Go figure. Clearly manufacturer knew from previous paint issues. This started 3 weeks ago out of the blue.

      Is it time to put a piece of tape over the CEL?

      consider doing electrical testing?  I would guess some power or ground wire/connection has a problem.   alldata.com has wiring diagrams, connector pinouts and diagnostic procedures you can use to find where the problem is.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      can you tell if the reader is actually trying to get codes, and the pcm is reporting none, or is your reader just silently failing because it's not communicating with the pcm?

      Any joy with this truck seems to be short-lived.   The CEL for P0172 ("bank 1" too rich) is now "intermittent".   I'm not sure where to check, or re-check, and my energy to keep chasing problems with junk is wearing thin. The P0172 seems to set as I'm coming to a stop, completely off the throttle, when fully warm. At least, that's what it's done the 3? times it's set.   Everything appears normal on the scanner EXCEPT long term fuel trim. There's only one bank on this vehicle because it's an OBD 1.5 with only one upstream O2 sensor. At idle, it's around -16.4% and will dip to -18% occasionally at idle or off-throttle. LTFT approaches 0 when throttle is held at 2500rpm. Short term appears normal, much closer to zero all the time. The LTFT tells me the engine is running rich at idle but compensating at higher load. But, why?   The EVAP purge valve doesn't appear to be leaking/sucking fuel vapor continuously. Is it sticking just as I come to a stop and the engine is choking on fuel vapor and sets the P0172? But that doesn't explain the persistently negative LTFT. Disconnecting the purge valve doesn't seem to make any difference.   I suppose that leaves another dang issue with the fuel injector. A leaking fuel pressure regulator, a new leak in the spider, or a leaking fuel injector/poppet valve I didn't see, or a small crack in one of the spider legs.   The vacuum line leading to the fuel pressure regulator doesn't have raw fuel in it. It doesn't even smell like fuel when it's pulled off, not until you suck air through it, then you can tell it leads to a fuel component. I'd consider that normal? Nothing is signaling this is a FPR issue from the outside, at least.   The oil smells like fuel but it's not building volume. I've noticed most oil in most engines smells like fuel to some degree so it's hard to say if the smell is an issue or not. Or if the engine just still smells like fuel because the crankcase was full of it a few hundred miles ago. But it's been changed twice since that original issue of the leaking fuel line dumping fuel into the intake.   Patience is running very thin. Every win seems to be accompanied by two steps backwards, or another issue that leads to removing at least the top half of the intake manifold. Enough! LOL
