Anyone know the biggest tires that can be put on 22" GM rims with a RC 2.5" level while having no rub and no offset?

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.

Mine is finally done! After months of research I went with the RC 2.5" level kit front only, stock rear block. 20"x9" Fuel Nutz w/ +1 offset, 33x12.50x20 Toyo M/T tires. No rubbing, No trimming, yet a

I know this has probably been discussed many times on here but I have yet to find a clear answer. I have a '14 crew cab sierra all terrain and I am going to get a 2" leveling kit from rough country. What is the tallest tire I can fit on my truck once I install the leveling kit? I'm looking more for height, I like the width of the stock 275 55 20 tires. I will be installin the tires on the stock all terrain wheels. Any complaints with the RC 2" leveling kit on the newer trucks? I installed one on my '09 sierra when I had it and didn't have any problems.

275/60 with 2". I think you can do 275/65 if you do the 2.5".

If you like the stock width, you'd probably be safe to go with 275/60r20s or MAYBE 275/65r20s

Anyone having ball joint issues with the 2.5" kit? I have the 2" kit and am not happy with it. Going to add the other .5 inches soon and wondering if I will have issues with ball joints?

You'll be fine at 2.5" i wouldn't go any higher without doing a proper suspension lift.

Finally finished all the mods, here is some info for those looking for it.

 

- 2inch rough country leveling kit

- 305/55/20 Nitto Terra Grappler G2

- 20 inch Fuel Maverick Wheels with a 20mm Offset

 

And before any one asks, No rubbing on the fender lining and suspension at full lock. I also didn't trim a thing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nice looking truck! That's pretty much the exact same set up i'm looking to run. Any chance you could upload some more pics? Maybe one down the side, or from the front showing the stance? Thanks!

I know I asked before but didn't really get an answer.

 

Can I do Fox coilovers at Factory height and then use a spacer to get my level? I assume fox's would improve ride quality greatly but if they are too compressed they'd be stiff. Using a spacer on them might be the best of both worlds

2.5" lift, also came with a spacer to do 3" lift in the front. Then I put Firestone airbags in the back to adjust the ride height in the back when I haul/tow. Keep about 10psi in them and it lifted the back around 3/4-1" so I have a little rake in it. Tires to come here soon and maybe rims. Also thinking of doing a 1.5" body lift.

      Do you keep your tires at full capacity? 80psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Are you using a weight distribution hitch system with your trailer as that alone can change the actual tire pressure requirements needed. It would prove interesting to see what the actual individual axle weights are on your truck when you are hooked up to the trailer. In fact when your hooked to the trailer, typically if anything unless it has a large capacity weight distribution system that is over cranked, often the weight on the front axle will be less when hooked up vs driving empty and certainly if one doesn't have a weight distribution hitch. Really the only times one may get up there with weight on the steer axle is if there was a snow plow mounted on the front or a motorcycle on a rack or with a very large jockey tank full of fuel at the front of the box that transfers a bit of its weight to the front axle.    And of course your tires carry more weight for a given tire pressure due to their size vs a stock sized tire so there is that to take into the equation as well.

      Great info here thank you. I just joined, we have a 2014 Silverado truck we bought about 4 years ago with less than 5,000 miles on it. It has approximately 24,000 on it now. It appears to have all the standard issues that people are talking about. Occasional charging problems especially using 110 volt, occasional blinking triangle where nothing will turn on when first starting the truck but it will reset itself if you wait 10 to 15 minutes. Noisy coupler between the flywheel and the generator. Our truck is speed limited to 74 mph, is there any way to change that? The latest issue we have been dealing with is when driving long distance on the highway at full speed the generator does not keep the batteries charged. The meter will go into the yellow/red border Zone for charge status and the yellow triangle will illuminate solid but the generator will not keep the battery charged, not sure why the controller doesn't tell the gas engine to increase RPM to increase generator output it usually stays well below 25 kilowatts even though the battery is discharging and I have to slow down the highway to 45 mph and eventually pull over and let the truck idle to charge the battery so I can continue driving at speed. Has anyone had this issue before or have any idea how to diagnosed it? When via Motors was around it they were very helpful at troubleshooting. This becomes much if the Terrain is hilly and you're towing a small trailer

      Tonneau cover that does not leak water

      By Z45 · Posted

      I have the GMC accessory (REV) cover installed by dealer. Ordered with the truck.  They did a very good install job, can't find a single issue. Some water gets in around the tailgate but no where else.  You can see daylight around the tailgate but that's not the covers fault.  Installation is means everything. Guys at my dealer were seasoned pros, not inexperienced here today good tomorrow types, like many dealers employ for these jobs.   I don't mind paying for a professional job.

      Like others have said, they will all leak. Mainly at the corners.   I have owned several and the best has been my current one. Revolver x4

      LCA bolts

      By calgator73 · Posted

      About 8 months after an alignment job by the dealer I started experiencing a pretty significant clunk in the front end on hard left hand turns usually parking lot speeds almost at lock.  Occasionally get the same on hard rights too.   Discovered that the lower control arm attachment bolts are TTY and only to be used for a single use. And then I found some evidence of a TSB that indicates you can over torque those fasteners to about 130 foot pounds.   Asked a local shop to investigate and they found 3 out of four bolts loose and retorqued.   I've ordered the MOOG    K100421 lower control arm bolt kit that is completely reusable and not TTY.    Is the 80 ft pounds a realistic number?  Anyone have experience with those bolts?
