2 inch RC level with 275/65/20 GY duratracs. Haven't noticed any rub, looks close to the carpet liner only.

I know this post is a month old already but I just came across it and I was actually thinking of doing this set up with my truck. How high does your truck sit now? Also, how off is your speedometer?

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 never measured the height of the truck but can do so later. The speedometer is off according to a tire size comparison website but never actually checked against gps. The calculator says at 40mph the truck is really going 42.8 mph. The faster you go the greater it is off.. At 70 the truck is really going 74.

I like the duratracs and am considering. Has your mileage been affected much by the level and tire swap? You're the first I've seen with the exact setup and size I want.

Not gonna lie , I haven't calculated the gas mileage. You can't go off the DIC anymore cause I've traveled further than it is calculating. I don't drive too far for work so even if it did suffer It wouldn't bother me much.

I have a 2015 Gmc Sierra 1500 All-Terrain and a 2.5" RC level kit on the front only. What is the biggest tire I can run? I'm sure it has been answered, but this thread is ridiculously long. I also have 20inch A/T painted rims. I was hoping for 275/65/20 or 295/60/20 but who knows. Thanks

Did you retighten the ones in the middle of the sway-bar, as well as all the ones connected with the Bilstein install? They always say to recheck after some mileage.

 

Also, just a question... did you get your alignment, yet? Could they have left something loose?

 

Im going to drop it off at the shop tomorrow and theyll take it apart again. Once they figure out whats wrong theyll do an alignment.

 

Does this bushing look right to you? (pic in attachment)

Traded my silver 2014 with 2.5rc and 295/60/20 for a red 2015. 2.5rc and 285/65/20 bfg ko2

I love your set up on the red truck. Are you close to rubbing? I am leaning towards a proComp 2.25" level with these tires. I may go with 2.5" level if you say you are close to rubbing. I have the same rims as you. I found the ko2 285/65/r20 tires for $1270 delivered which seems reasonable. I guess I could add a body lift if these tires end up rubbing. Thanks for your time!

 

Another general question....

Are there typically some pretty good deals to be had on tires on Black Friday?

I have not had them rub but I think they are really close. I only have 1000 miles on them and zero off road miles. I am very happy with them.

I would like to raise the front of my 2015 GMC Sierra 4x4 SLE. But I'm not sure to install a 1.5"level kit from ready lift or install shock Bilstein 5100 height adjustable. Please help me to make a decision.

I used the Bilstein 5100's on my truck and really like them. I know most ppl on here go with RC 2 OR 2.5" or similar route but, it's just personal preference. I've also heard that the Bilstein's are backordered almost everywhere.

RC 2.5 in front, 1.75 block in rear

 

Where did you get the 1.75" rear block? The RC website lists the block in the 2.5" kit as a 2" rear block. Does the kit actually contain a 1.75" or did you use a different block?

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w

      I took a 12 second video on my iphone but the file is too big to upload. I will have to figure out how to extract the audio or just do another start with an audio recording.
