I second the thought of Toyo tires. Had them on my Tacoma and loved them. Buddy currently has them on his 2010 silverado and he loves them too.

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.

I know this has probably been answered before, but is it possible to run 33"x12.5" tires on a 2" leveling kit with the stock 20" wheels? Anyone have pictures they can post? I don't really want to trim, so any issues with rubbing?

Yeah you dont have to worry about trimming, but it will rub the UCA/swaybar.

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.

Thanks for the info. Just went ahead and ordered the RC 2" for the front. Hopefully I'll get to them tonight, if not definetly this weekend. Then it will be time for tire and rims.

What size tire could I fit on my truck with the Bilstein shocks set at the 1.25" front setting? I have 20" wheels.

 

I'm thinking overall the same height as stock but with some added width.

 

Anyone have thoughts?

Got my Rough Country 2.5 leveling kit on, front only and truck is perfectly level. Looking at some Moto Metal 962 20x12 wheels with 33x12.5 tires. Anyone put these wheels on a 2015 sierra z71 or chevy equivalent? The offset on the wheels are -44. Any advice would be great.

Both of those will work fine IMO.

 

I have my front end raised the same amount as you and I just put on 275/60 20's and they clear with room to spare for height and width.

 

You might already know this site exists but if not it's pretty cool.

Yea thanks. I used that site to find similar tire sizes. I was more concerned about actual fitment. I dont want to rub at all.

Good deal.

 

Yeah I didn't want any rub either and they don't. Your two choices should clear no problem.

I'm pretty sure those are going to rub like crazy. That negative offset is going to be the issue.

If you don't want any rubbing at all, I'd say either a 285/55/20, 305/50/20, or a 275/60/20.

      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.
