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.

Are the tires on yet? I am on the fence between the 275/65/20 and 295/60/20 .. same height but a little wider with the 295s. TIA

here is my truck without rear blocks.

 

So you did a front level? If so, what kit did you use? Edited by PMD G8

Update...I ended up going with the 275/60/20 tires. I am fortunate that i buy alot of big truck tires and so my tires shop originally put on the 275/65/20's and they rubbed with the readylift 2.25" kit. I did not want to modify wheel wells or fenders and if it rubs now, any kind of off road situation will rub worse. So we took off the 65's and went with the 60's. No rub. I am very happy with the looks and the outcome. I choose not to do any different blocks in the back until i hook up my new trailer and see how much it sags this max tow pacakge. If it lowers the rear too much i think that i will go the firestone air bag route.

I do not want to cut wheel wells either.. the route you went with is looking like the safer bet. Can you post some pictures of your setup with the 275/60/20s? TIA

I'm about to put a 2" leveling kit on the front. How many mgp should I expect to lose?

Daystar 2" level. Michelin 275/60r20 AT2. 39.5" in front and 40" in rear to wheel well. The dealer installed the kit. The guy who installed it recommended this size tire to avoid rubbing in all situations. I've had no issues in 400 miles.

Looks great RS0802 .. Seems like you can even get away with a 1.5" level and still be safe. Great looking setup!!

Hows the ride with that Daystar lift? Looks like they only make a 2" front and a 2" front & rear kit

Good looking setup either way

Yep had to adjust the lights on my sierra, got a lot of high beam flashes in the dark... It was blinding drivers in front of me as well, even truck drivers.

    • Because single shot injectors are ancient and multi hole injectors provide smoother running engines and sharper throttle response due to the fuel being atomized better..the best lead I have is a 24lb blue top injector almost everything matches up but the injector will put out about 26lb/hr which is just outside the gm threshold.figured id ask here to see if there was an absolute answer
    • Why is my question?   Any change in injectors requires a tune. Unless you are going back with the OEM part number or a newer part number of that same injector.   Any size difference or type difference like the EV6 style injectors all have different injector data for them. And there is no EV6 injector that matches the factory 25 lb/hr size that your truck comes with. I've been messing with these trucks and tuning them for a long time and what you trying to do doesn't exactly make sense to me.
    • My 6.6 gas lt8 had lifter noise with 28000 miles bought new 2026 and while driven to dealer it threw #1 rod bearing “HD my ass” good luck with yours i hope it don’t turn a rod bearing!
    • When a condition becomes a business model.    https://www.gm-trucks.com/gm-truck-suv-incentives-pricing-2026/   Zane posted this in "Latest Articles".    The honest bottom line   Truck buyers have spent three years assuming this is a temporary condition that will break once inventories normalize. GM just presented it to investors as a durable strategy, on a chart, as evidence of good management.   Inventory did normalize. GM is at 511,000 units and squarely inside its own 50 to 60 day target. The discounts still did not come back, because the low incentive number is the goal rather than a symptom of shortage.   Plan your purchase around that reality instead of waiting for it to change. Follow our ongoing GM News coverage for pricing and incentive changes as the next-generation trucks land.
    • Thought it was raining this morning when we woke. Nope. Dew point was over 80 F and humidity 98%. Zero visibility distance. Everything was 'sweating'. I've seen rain come out of clouds but never out of Pepper or the tree trunks.    Wicked storms just missed us sliding off to the east but by blocks. Heat index about 110 F with air temp in the 90's.    This is  our third wave this month of multiple days of this type of weather. And yet the grass is going dormant and the ground is cracking this side of the street and water up the the hood opposite. Just weird stuff going on.
