No rubbing on sway or control arms at all. I ran a 2" RC level in front for over a year before I moved to the bilstein 5100s. The last few months the ride was getting really rough on the spacer, plus I wanted more height front and back, and new tires because my stock GY SR-As were bald all around after 18k. Not at all saying the spacer was causing the rough ride though. Was a combination of tires, front stock shocks, etc. I was Just ready to try something new. Did 5100s all around with front on highest setting (1.88") plus added the RC .5" spacer on top of bilstein strut. In rear I removed stock 1" block and replaced it with the RC 2" block and added bilstein 5100s in rear. Then Toyo AT II Extremes 295/60/20s all around. It rides like a Cadillac now. Little bit of road noise from those tires but I love it. Nothing like an MT though.

 

I think the front 5100 bilsteins you can get for around $100 each and the rears around $80 each.

 

There is a 6112 series bilstein Shock coming out this fall I believe for the Silverado. Not out yet to my knowledge. It's a thicker bigger shock for more off-road applications is what in told. There's a bilstein shock thread in here too that covers all that stuff.

 

Hope that helps.

I have the 2" rough country for my '15 z71 and have no issues.

It's affordable and looks good installed on these trucks too. Going with that one would be a good way to go.

My first post here on the forums.

 

This is my 2016 GMC All Terrain. It has a Traxda 2.5" leveling kit and 275/60R20 BFG AT KO2's. I think it sits pretty much perfectly.

What is everybody still under factory warranty doing to calibrate speedo? Just clearing programmer or tune before you have service? Anybody had truck serviced with a tune on and been given any flack? Getting tires tomorrow and want my speedo to be correct but don't want to void the warranty because of the tuner or tune...

I read somewhere that with 33" tires the speedo is only off by like 3mph at ~70 mph so I haven't done anything. I don't think you can recalibrate it without a tune...

Yea that's true. the 275/65 knock it off around 5mph at 75mph. I dunno I guess I just want my digital speedo to be accurate on a brand new truck and I'm a little OCD with vehicles. But you can't have your cake and eat it to apparently. Really should have asked if the dealer can tell if you had a tune or tuner and then cleared it before you went up there?

Oh absolutely I'm the same way, once I realized it would cost at least 300$ plus voiding the warranty I didn't even consider it. It might be worth it for someone that does a lot of highway driving but not me. You'd think at this day in age the computer would self adjust

18" problems haha I read that 295/70/18 rub with RC 2.5" on stock rims. I love the Z71 rims do i went with the safe bet 275/70/18 Cooper Discoverer. Love em
