Is everyone getting an alignment with a 2 inch level or is it fine to go without.I've seen mixed reviews but I'm just not 100% sure.

Get an alignment up front at a minimum. Costs like $50. Tires are 4 to 8 times that cost each [emoji4]

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

Ok sounds good. How hard is it to install the 2 inch kit can I just take the sway bar off and take the 2bolts out of the bottom shock and pry and strap up the shock some how or will I have a really tough time doing it that way. I am a carpenter so I understand how a lot of it works but I am not 100% sure on it

Just did the Pro Comp level 2.25 inches I believe it is and larger blocks in the rear. Ordered Toyo Open Country AT2 305/55/20 with Fuel Maverick +1 offset. Haven't seen anyone with this exact setup on here, but since I'm new to all this figured I would get some of y'all's expert help. Dealer said he thought there would be minimal rubbing if at all, do you guys think this is true? And how far do you think this setup will stick out past fender wells? I have 15 Silverado 1500 LTZ.

i did RC 2.5 level with 305 55 20 with 0 offset. Rubbed really bad on inner fender when turning sharp. Had to add zone 1.5 body lift to it

How did you put on a leveling kit with the sensors for the shocks on the front? Did your lift kit have lowering brackets for sensors? If so what are they and where did you get them. I have a Blue Denali 15 model I want to level. Thanks!

Alright after reading the majority of this and doing some math, I'd like some opinions. I wanna raise the front of the truck and maintain the rake of the truck for hauling and towing.

 

Right now completely stock she sits at 36" up front and 38.5" in the rear. I will be putting 275/70R18 after this is all said and done which is a 33" tire. Stock is 31.5". So I'd be gaining .75" from the tires alone.

 

Well if I got with a 2" level from RC I should be 36+.75+2= 38.75" front and 38.5+.75=39.25" rear with a total of .5" of rake.

 

With 2.5" level with 2" block in the rear: 36+.75+2.5= 39.25" front with 38.5+.75+2-1.25=40" rear with .75" of rake.

 

With 2.5" level with 3" block in the rear: front is the same at 39.25" and 38.5+.75+3-1.25=41" rear with 1.75" of rake.

 

I'm thinking with the 2.5" front and 3" rear block I'll be able to achieve the height that I want. All measurements are done from ground to fender. But with a 3" block in the rear do I need to change out the rear shocks? I have no experience with level kits or anything like that, so I'm really guessing. Any thoughts? And if you got pictures of that set up that would be awesome.

After spending days reading this thread, I went with the ReadyLift 2.25" level kit. Everything is now 39" on my new 2015 Midnight Edition. Keeping stock tires and rims (just 500 miles on them).

Thanks everyone for all the info!

Looks good. What size tires/rims did yours come with? I want to lift, but also can't see throwing away tires I've already paid for. How did the ride change after your lift?

Thanks. Tires are 265/65 R18.

I can't tell any difference in the ride so far. That's why I went with the RL level kit since it has a top and bottom spacer to hopefully even it out. I'll see if mpg stays the same in the next few days.

      Gas Prices

      Can ask that about a lot of places.   Holiday sells 91 for $1 over 87 octane. BP 93 is 80 cents. Amoco 93 is 80 cents Kwik Trips is $1.20 for 92 or whatever they have and $1 for the 91.   I know that this is not exactly same as what you are saying with the premium to premium debate of those two stations but why is there such a difference. Top Tier this and that, it's all BS. All the fuel comes from the same damn refinery, so give me a break.

      Why does Mobil Premium cost 90 cents a gallon more than Shell Premium when their regular offerings are but pennies apart?

      Was all the way down to $3.69 a gallon but then jumped back to $3.99 just because for some reason.   Diesel floats between $4.80's to $5.10ish a gallon. I even saw Diesel #1 for $6.09 today but nobody in there right mind even buys that in the summer.

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      Mine just keeps lagging or getting stuck on the reverse camera. When I turn off the truck, get out, and close the door it will still stay on. It’s very intermittent and I would not be able to duplicate the issue.

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !
