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.

Looks good. It’s a shame that we truck lovers have to go through so much these days just to make our 4 wheel drive trucks look like 4 wheel drive trucks!

Mines 2wd but just put a 1.5 inch level on the front. Rear is stock. Gonna go with bigger tires when these wear out. I’m satisfied with the level because i still wanted some rake with towing. 04679A88-A92B-4977-9BC8-CAB58374200B.thumb.png.ba0ccd42fba17d12a5aeccdda51ac903.pngNo difference in ride.

Seems like it's mostly GM that doesn't get it, the HD trucks from other manufacturers look the part.

Yup, because image is very important; you have to have others know you drive a 4wd truck regardless if it is used or not. It can be easily rectified by placing strategic 4wd emblems/stickers on the truck to let others know you aren't driving around in a lesser much less macho 2wd truck at the local starbucks...

on the rear kit, how did the ubolts fit over the leaf springs? did the centers of the ubolts sit flat against the leafspring?

Added Bilstein 5100s on highest setting and Toyo Open Country AT 2 at 295/55/20.  Ride is NIGHT AND DAY different from the OEM "Max trailering" shocks.  They were basically shot at only 42,000 miles.  Tires rub the sway bar on BOTH sides when moving forward... rubbing seems to begin before full lock so I've had to adjust my driving habits just a bit.

 

It makes me wonder if 285/60/20 would fit without rubbing?

      I am sure that was quite the pass experience and not a great place to experience during the winter when the conditions are not good. I've seen video of that pass and also more detailed information and pictures about the wrecks at that one hair pin turn where tractor trailers have flown right off the cliff and I am sure from all the warning signs that you know the exact curve that was !. After all there is a reason why a song was made about Wolf Creek Pass !. By the way and I didn't realize this either when I bought my truck as its nothing I even thought of that would be programmed into the cruise control and this occurs in either the basic or the more advanced cruise that controls your distance behind a vehicle and that is the brakes going down a hill are being applied as soon as the vehicle goes a certain speed over the set cruise speed. While it certainly does force downshifts in the transmission as you found out with cruise on while going down hill, its also dragging the brakes as needed to keep the speed controlled to what the cruise was set to. For me, I find that unsettling simply because I have no concept then as to how MUCH brake input is being used a and just how hot are those brakes getting and the wear factor as well. I can see that system getting a person into trouble on long mountain grades while pulling a trailer as it would not only be standing on the brakes of the pickup without any driver input, it would also be automatically applying the trailer brakes and it could cause a run away unit by overheating the brakes. Its one thing on a shorter hill and if the driver allows it to do its thing but on a long mountain grade is where things could get so out of hand. As someone a while back on this forum said, they had someone following them at night I believe on a down grade and had the cruise set and the person behind them could see the brake lights being energized all the way down the hill. I figured when I saw your comment that you didn't know and would have no way of knowing that your truck was applying the brakes and that you would and rightfully so assume you only used the brakes when you pressed on the pedal to slow down more than the cruise set speed for the slower sharp curves. So its good knowledge to know this about the newer GM trucks, certainly when doing any descending on long mountain grades. In the future try kicking off the cruise and use the the manual mode on a pass to see what that is like as I know myself when I first experienced it I thought no way can this engine be holding me back this well and tried the same hill in manual mode and sure enough the engine was revving way up and still could not hold the trucks speed down like it could in cruise mode.    Fuel mileage, that is where a really low sleek type of car can do better at higher speeds, certainly it starts sucking fuel too but a tall pickup is pushing massive amounts of air and also allowing a lot more air under it and the tow mirrors as in elephant ears pushing through the wind  as well. Driving like grandpa is about as good as one can do when driving one of these if trying to get the best fuel economy they can. I bet these trucks would get the best mileage they can if driven on a freeway in Florida if not busy traffic at a sedate speed and that sea level elevation without hills, vastly different then Colorado !.
