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.

      2026 DENALI 6.2L

      By pyoung62 · Posted

      I agree with Tim.  As tech heavy as engines are these days, no way I’d be an early buyer of the new 6.6.  Of course, I bought my ‘26 Denali w/the 6.2 after dumping my Tundra with it’s defective 3.5 liter imploding engine disaster, so I’m a little gun-shy.  That said, my 6.2 has been rock solid.  I don’t drive it like I do my BMW Z4 M40i, but I don’t baby it either.  I got a V8 for a reason.  But I’m averaging 18 around town and 22 highway.  I have seen 24 highway as well when I wasn’t loaded up heavy.  Considering my Tundra with the twin turbo V6 only got 14.5 in town and 17 on the road, I’ll take the 6.2 all day, every day.  If I were you, I’d grab a ‘26 while you can.  Inventories are probably gonna start dropping and I’ll bet the deals will start looking sweeter as well.

      Can you add a 360° Cameras hard button to a 2021 Sierra?

      By ShowMeShooter1332 · Posted

      I am curious if anyone has figured out a way to add an hard button AUX or 360 Camera switch to the center row of switches. I have a 2021 AT4, and want to split the hill decent button and add a 360 camera button so that you don't have to go into the center display and locate the camera functionality, etc...   My father's 2024 Yukon XL AT4 and it has a hard button, see below. I found this thread on the Yukons, but it seems like there may not be a part number for the 2021 sierras. https://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/255339-adding-hard-button-for-camera-on-2021/ Anyone else figured this out. Seems like it would need to be a custom switch!   I am getting ready to install the auto stop/start eliminator, so would be nice to knock them out at once.     Upvote1Downvote0Go to comments

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Through the years it hasn't been my typical method as I tried to drop oil on an engine that was hot from having been worked, however that was not always practical and had to fire up a unit and let it warm up reasonably well and drop the oil when I had the time to do it but am referring to not only vehicles but a variety of farm equipment and highway tractors etc. However on a vehicle where one is crawling under it and the exhaust is nearby to ones body and if wanting to pull the plug without danger of being hit with boiling hot oil or attempting to remove a HOT oil filter, its sure safer and easier to not have everything smoking hot and can remove the filter right away when under the vehicle and let it all drain. Of course its not the end of the world if a bit of oil stays in the engine that might have eventually found its way out, I like to get out as much as possible but any oil changes that take place in shops would rarely be sitting around for very long at all before the plug is thrown back in and filter slapped on and oil poured in and sent out the door quick like. There would be very little time spent ( assuming they even did it ) in starting the engine with oil to fill the filter, then waiting to verify the level on the stick. A good reason to check ones oil level shortly after a shop changed the oil on a vehicle just to make sure its correct and to look under for any oil around the drain plug or filter.
