Does anyone know if the LTZ rims are the same size as the 5 spoke 20's i have on mine? (width, offset)

 

I have the RC 2.5 lift and want to do 305/55R20 terra grapplers on the stock rims. not worried about a little rub at full turn

Thanks, I'm going to go with the 275/60/20's (33's) It would be really close to hitting with the 275/65's. It might fit but I'm not willing to take the chance. I was looking through the pics if the guys running the same setup with the 33's looks good to me.

I have the 2.5" RC lift with 275/60R20 Cooper at/3, I measured before and after, the lift and tires gained me 3" lift in the front and 1.5"-2" in the back. Keep in mind that all tires in 275/65R20 size are LT tires. Many P tires are available in 275/60R20 size.

That's a heck of a difference in price, almost $100 per tire. I'm thinking I'll be just fine with the 275/60's.

Any rub? Did you do the 2.5" with the 1 inch lift block for the back or just the 2" up front?

Im going with the 2.25" readylift up front and nothing in the back. I have 275/65/r20 toyo at ii tires to go on. I am really hoping they will fit with no rubbing. I dont want to trim anything. It hard to get comparisons from here because lots of guys are using the rough country lift. Anyone else go the readylift route? I think they are a better made product.

My opinion on leveling kits is brand really doesn't matter. When you get into suspension its a whole other story. I've installed readylift on a different truck and it was just like the rest...

I agree KUUG but I was a little unimpressed to see the rough country 2" front level blocks were a composite material and not aluminum or other type of metal. It is on my truck and I haven't had any issues but piece of mind is worth a lot sometimes. I'd opt for the solid aluminum level blocks next time, but no name doesn't matter - just quality and material.

That was my first thoughts also. After I talked to a couple people that ran them for quite a while I decided to give them a try. Some of those ebay aluminum blocks are weaker than composites now a days; given those aren't usually name brand.

I am just running the Ready Lift levelling kit which gives a total of 2.25" of lift up front (1.5" from the top spacer and .75" from the bottom one). I have no lift in the rear, all stock. No rubbing at all with the 275-60-20". I'll post better pics once the roads dry up and I clean it.

How are you guys finding the ride quality, after putting the levelling kit on. Looking at getting the readylift at the end of the month.

Well guys here she is leveled and new skins. I haven't discovered anything rubbing and the ride is incredible over those crappy Goodyears that come from the factory. Leveling Kit was a $40 Ebay 2" level kit, Aluminum spacer. Also New Nitto Terra Grapplers, yes they are wide 305/60/18. The look is awesome compared to factory. Here are the images.

    • I'd change the fluid and start there.   198F is nothing for the 8L90.  They typically operate 180-200F stock.  
    • Looking for help!   2019 GMC Sierra 1500 - 5.3l 4x4 8l90 61k miles - truck is in Arizona, was over 110 outside on Monday when this whole situation transpired. Never had any major issues with transmission until this point:   Truck sat outside my construction office for approx 1 hour idling before I realized, ran around the job site wrapping some things up for the day and then left. Went to get food and sat in the drive through for approx 30 minutes idling. As soon as I pull out of the drive through and onto the main road, rear tires lock up and feels like transmission fell out of the truck. Shifted to park, shut the truck off and tried again, same thing happened. Was able to reverse into parking lot (truck slammed into reverse). Let the truck sit turned off for 10 minutes before trying again, but it continued to happen. Towed truck back to my house. Highest the trans temps reached was 198.   Friday, after work I start looking into the situation. Truck sat in my driveway untouched all week. Truck is now driving like normal, transmission doesn’t get over 185 degrees when trying to heat it up. Got up to 60 multiples times with no issues, no issues accelerating, only down shifted hard into first one time at 185 degrees. Does anyone have any insight? Never through a code or a check engine light. Truck has never been used to tow either. No transmission services at this point.
    • Atlas won.   I know better, but I did it anyway. I took a compressed air line with a chuck and rubber tip and jammed it in the open EGR port. The port was clear as far as I could see, and as far as I could poke with a flexible wire, but that doesn't mean it's not clogged.   Compressed air blew back at me along with a cloud of black. Oops. I didn't have the rubber tip seated in there all the way. Jammed it up in there some more and squeezed the chuck. PSI was set to 120. Poof! It blew back at me again. Third time...pfffffttssssssspffffffsssfffffff, face full of carbon, and then, kind of a thud..and the air stopped spraying back at me. It was now exiting the exhaust with a low shhhhhh sound as it flowed through the pipe. Something broke free. I pressurized the port again, and air flowed.   Made my day.   Long story short on this problem, it's fixed. Something was really blocking the EGR passages down low, and compressed air blew it apart. I don't recommend this as who knows what debris was sent where. But it's allowed me to move forward, mentally, and onto the next problems I need to get this little S-Blazer going down the road properly again.  
    • Your truck lowered, looks good. I'm happy with the stance on this. I may need the extra ground clearance given my location/situation.
