Sounds good, have any of yall tried the rancho quicklift leveling shocks, similar to the bilsteins but it comes fully assembled with coil springs and everything. Bad part is its pretty pricey at $400

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.

wow... long thread and now I am more confused than ever. I am looking for pics that are running stock 18's. I am looking at either a 2 or 2.25 in level with either 275 70 18 or 285 75 18 ...I only have a 4.3 so really don't want to go much bigger, just looking to level and get a little more clearance for hunting some back woods places. thanks

I'd like to know if anyone has done this also. I'd like to stay around the 2.5" lift mark

 

I have an AT with my Air dam taken off, factory Molded flaps, and my step bars taken off. I've got a pic in the 2014 Pics thread to give you an idea. Its also my Avatar pic

I too would like to change out the stock ranchos with the bilteins. I really dislike the ride after the 2inch RC spacer. I really need to get to around a 2.5 up front. Has anyone left the 2inch spacer on and mounted the bileins on the lowest or 1rst setting?

Fuse36 , do you think you could fit some 275/65/20 with the Ranchos ? Or a 295/55/20 without rub ?

yes 295 55 20 wouldn't be a problem. I believe 275 60 20 would also but not sure on 275 65 20

I installed the Rancho Quicklifts today and my wheels and tire should come in tomorrow. I'll be running 18's. We'll see if my combo works?

What size tire? After doing some more searching I might just save up a little more for the Rancho setup. Also, What brand of tire did you get, I am looking at a few, one is the Falken A/T and the other is Cooper ST Maxx.

Please keep us posted, I am using the stock rims, I need to find out if the offset will work. I am interested in the 285 setup you are doing and my other choice is 275/70-18

also curious why you didn't go with 285/70-18, its 33in. Do you think there wont be enough room?

thats actually 33.71" so it might rub. That's close

I have the 275/70/18 on stock rims. I went with the Hankook Dynapro. So far so good. No rubbing. We got a ton of snow and they have done really well. They look fairly aggressive but not too noisy. I'm pretty happy with them. I did measure my truck after installing the Bilsteins. 38 to front fender and 38.25 to rear. It's damn near level. I'm running lower air pressure right now with the foot of snow we have on the ground. It may come up a little more once I start playing with more air pressure. The tire dealer only put 37 lbs in the tires and I think I'll take them up to 45 and see how it rides once the roads clear up.

      Joke Thread

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Fred was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young pullets, and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced. This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells. Fred's favourite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover. To Fred's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one. Fred was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the City Show and he became an overnight sensation among the judges. The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the "No Bell Piece Prize," but they also awarded him the "Pulletsurprise" as well. Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention. Vote carefully in the next election, you can't always hear the bells.

      High Country Suburban build confirmation

      By 3CarSeatDad · Posted

      Can someone confirm if the GM order workbench terminal is able to validate a custom build sequence:   1) Initialize the Allocation Base: Open a new vehicle build queue, select the 2026 Chevrolet Suburban 4WD, and pick the High Country (3LZ Preferred Equipment Group).   2) Select the Diesel Powertrain: Go directly to the engine configuration screen and choose RPO code LZ0 (3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel). Ensure it maps to the MHS 10-speed automatic transmission.   3) Deploy the Seating Swap: Navigate to the Interior Options screen and enter RPO code ATT to replace the standard captain's chairs with the power-release 60/40 bench seat. Because you are not trying to force a separate luxury or air-suspension bundle, the standard, premium D07 Fixed Floor Console remains active. The system will accept this change immediately without triggering a warning message.   3)Apply Heavy-Duty Hauling Capability: Input RPO code NHT (Max Trailering Package). The commercial terminal will automatically bundle the required trailering hardware and software modules to support the diesel engine's maximum towing capacity.   5) Layer the Premium Tech and Glass: Separately add code C3U (Panoramic Power Sunroof) and code UKL (Super Cruise) to the order screen.   6) Run the Final Validation: Click the "Validate Order" button at the bottom of the interface.

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      By revmanii · Posted

      Spent the last hour or 2 googling and reading up on the spacer thing. I don't like the loss of thread contact on the slip on spacers, but it appears you can get "extended" lug nuts that reach into the hole of the wheel to get back the lost threads. Looks like the only true hubcentric slip on spacers are at least .375". I'd want as little as I could get away with and don't want to cause other clearance issues going any thicker. Bora seems to offer what appears to be a well made .375" spacer and extended lug nuts. I searched here and did find a couple threads recommending Bora. But not cheap. By the time I buy spacers and lugs, new TPMS sensors, then pay a tire shop to install the new sensors, I suspect I'm going to be in over $400. Thinking about running out and getting some washers to put behind the wheel to see if .375" is enough to clear calipers, turn lock to lock without rubbing, and to see if the wheels/tires look strange pushed out a little. This would just be to check fitment.

      Road Master Active Suspension

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      Roadmaster makes some quality parts; I have their sway bar. I considered the RAS, but I ended up bagging. I didn't know what kind of ride I'd get with RAS, and the bags have interior jounce bumpers, so I can run 0 pounds pressure. I figured I'd have the best of normal suspension ride with assist on-demand. But it seems you got pretty much the same in one item.
