I know I like it! That's a good looking truck for sure.

 

Thank you guys, I am thoroughly enjoying every minute.

 

So I went with a 2.5" level lift and for tires I went with Toyo Open Country M/T 275/65r20.

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

So I'm new on here, but without reading ALL of the 181 pages, I've noticed that most people are using 20 inch rims, and have used tires such as 305/55/20 or 295/55/20. I have a 2014 Chevy Silverado with stock 18" rims. I'd like to just use the stock 18" rims, and then get leveling kit, and new aggressive grip tires. If I go with a 2.5" leveling kit, can I get tires such as 305/65/18 or will I have to go a little less taller with something like a 305/60/18? Does anyone have something similar to this on their truck? If so, can you please offer advice, comments, and/or pictures please. Thank you.

Is there supposed to be a difference in bolt sizes for leveling kits for the aluminum and steel control arms I ordered a moto fab 2 inch leveling kit and I read somewhere the steel control arms require a 80 mm bolt

I wanted to do the exact same thing. I got the Rough Country 2' level and put 305/65/18 BFG All Terrains on my truck. No rubbing at all - it looked great. So a 2.5" level should work great.

Good looking truck. I just picked myself up a 2015 1500 High Country as well. How well do the 33/12.5s fit with the 2.5 level kit? Any rubbing? Any issues using those stock rims? I had 305/55/R20s on my Tahoe that I just traded in and had some trimming to do with the Rancho quicklift installed. I was initially thinking of just going with a 33x11.5-ish tire with the stock wheels. Any issues with pinion angle or steering geometry with the leveling kit?

7473330315x65.jpg How will a leveling kit do with these factory 22" GM wheels with 285/45/R22's? I want a more aggressive off road tire that has more sidewall, but not sure what the best size would be for the 2" level lift. Any advice is appreciated!attachicon.gif7473330315x640.jpg

i had 305 35 24's on a 10" wheel on my 2014 with 2" rear lowering shackles and no problems. what you are wanting to run is both narrower and shorter so you should be fine

Thanks for the info. Do you happen to have any pics of your truck? I'd like to see how those tires look on 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!

The level kit does have relocator brackets for the semsor mounts. Super easy install. I was impressed, rides the same.

The 305/65/18's that were posted look really great. I'd say that's probably about the max size, without doing any trimming. Some other popular sizes to consider with a level kit are 275/70/18, 305/60/18, 285/65/18, and 33x12.50x18.

I'm thinking about these exact tires for my winter set. Do they rub the sway bar at full lock in either direction?

hello guys. New here. I'm needing help verifying if a 295/70/18 on stock wheels will fit with a 2.5" front leveling kit on a 2015 midnight edition

I'm running those on a 2.5 level and 1.5 body lift with stock z71 wheels and they rub sway bar and liner

      Even tougher is the 5.0 / 302. That's what this one has.    https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   https://postimg.cc/4n3F3yzY   Just realized I had the airbox removed in the engine pic, lol.

      I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.

      Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.
