Will this set up rub the sway bar?

 

 

Here are 2 pictures with the Rough Country 2" Level with Bilstein front adjustable shocks set on the lowest setting. BFG All-terrain 305/65/18

Bilstein 5100's are in my truck! I think they look awesome and the ride is so much better than stock. With my old shocks, I'd get a jarring feeling when I'd hit a pothole or sharp bump in the road. The 5100's definitely smoothed that feeling out. I really need to get them on the rear now.

 

I will post pics and measurements when I get a chance.

 

On stock tires the front measurements were 36-1/4" and 36-5/8" before 5100's.

What setting did you go with on your shocks?

Hey guys, I've been contemplating what size wheel and tire to put on my 2015 Silverado. I have a RC 2.5 leveling kit but im scared to get a tire and have to trim a lot. I want to put a 20x10 with a -24 offset and either a 305/55r20 or 285/55r20 BF Goodrich Ko2. Can someone give me some advice on which one to go with?

have you thought about a 305/50/20 or maybe a 295/55/20?

I have, but the that tire only comes in the 285/55 and 305/55, I have seen posts on custom offsets where people have fit bigger tires on that wheel but i dont know if i can trust that.

there are other good all terrains out there besides the BFG. Personally, i like the General Grabber AT2 over the BFG, but i didnt check what sizes they offer. May want to look into Nitto Terra grapplers or Toyo Open Country AT's. I have Nitto's and am happy with them.

I finally got some better shots!

Hey geswek. Which level it did you use. Any track addition or still stock

I went with Motofab 2" block under strut--nothing more; still on stock Z71 Rancho shocks.

 

Rides just like it did before lift--rigid enough that I enjoy it. :)

Ok; so mark the 12-o'clock and then rotate it clockwise one whole turn? Clockwise lowers and counter-clockwise raises?

That's what I did and I don't seem to be blinding people now.

I went with max height setting on the shocks.

 

Measurements are as follows:

 

Before Lift

Front left = 36.25" Front Right = 36.625"

 

After lift

Front left = 38.25" Front Right = 38.5"

 

This is still with factory Goodyear SRA tires. I will be adding BFG KO2 275/60R20 in the next week or so which should add another 1/2" to those heights.

    • I have a 2000 Silverado 1500 LS, whenever I put it into reverse and also in drive it clunks, the truck also feels sluggish when driving. Any advice/ideas ?
    • Looks like it's riveted to me. What is wrong with that 1? Welcome to the Forum!
    • Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.
