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.

2" level front only. 285/70/17 Kelly safari tsr. 17x9 +12 ballistic morax rims. Next few mods will be window tint and anzo u bar headlights which are in the mail now. Not sure how to post pictures. http://s257.photobucket.com/user/08230/library/truck?sort=3&page=1

 

Looks great! I think that we are 2 of the few to go with 17" wheels. Looks sharp man.

Well, here is the aftermath of the 5100 and cognito install. I'm not very good at step by step pics, so these are pretty much just after shots…

The height difference doesn't look to obvious over the 2" RC kit that was in there, but the ride is so much better. Truck sits about 3/8" higher now…

Did you use bilsteins plus spacers or the bilsteins at the highest setting? Also how do those new UCAs feel?

I used the 5100's at the highest setting and fab up a set of 1/4" spacers to go under the strut…

Got my 2in rough country leveling kit installed about a month ago.

 

Here is the pic fresh off the lift at the shop.

 

 

 

 

 

Now I have the itch to get some wheels and tires but I'm more confused than ever. If anyone can provide some insight it would be greatly appreciated.

 

I'm thinking about doing some 285/55/20 Nitto Terra Grapplers and putting them on the stock rims, but the sales guy at discount tires swears 305/55/20 terra grapplers would fit no problem.

 

Reading through here it seems the 305/55/20's are going to rub, anyone have that size with no rub?

 

If I decide on the 305/55/20's can I fit those with the proper rim offset? If yes what offset would that be? I don't want the tires poking out to much from the fender.

 

Thanks for any help!

Here is my 1.5" Level kit. It comes with 3 spacers for the bottom struts allowing anywhere from 1", 1.5", or 2". I wanted a little rake so I went with the 1.5" I got it on ebay. Here is the link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ADJUSTABLE-LIFT-LEVELING-KIT-Raise-your-front-end-1-1-1-2-or-2-/121313284674?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3ASilverado+1500&hash=item1c3ed5d242&vxp=mtr

Are you still liking this lift kit? How is it holding up? Thanks a head of time.

Have a new 2015 truck now, but the kit held up fine and I had no problems with it. If you want the front raised, but like a little rake, little cost, this is the way to go.

 

However....the new truck feels smother than my 2014 over the small bumps, the only difference being the level kit. I could be going crazy, but I think even the 1.5 inch lift changed the softness of the ride. Not a huge change...but noticeable. If I was going to do it again, I would probably pick up a set of Rancho or Billstein leveling shocks.

This isn't a great shot, but you can see the alignment with the body is just about perfect!

Definitely the look I want, but terra grapplers dont come in the 295/55/20. I think 305's wouldn't be to extreme, at least I hope.

You're right, the Terra Grappler doesn't come in that size. They have a 285 (way too small) and a 305. I think the 305's look huge. I don't think they would rub if you did the exact same setup as I have, but if they did you could easily trim the inner fender liner. Just a big tire!

Toyo is the way to go. I've been running Toyo tires on everything for the past 15 years. They have never done me wrong. I'd recommend them, and they are the same price point as Nitto...besides, at one point they were the same company.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.

      Looking for this part for my truck. They don't sell just that one piece and to get it you have to pay over $100 even used for the whole air tube. The piece the hose clamp snaps into that is held on by the screw and nut. If anyone has access to one please let me know.
