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.

Zone level kit ko2 in 305/65-18

 

That's awesome. Would love some more pictures of this truck and some of the wheelwell clearances at full lock. I haven't seen anyone else try a 305/65r18 on stockers but always thought a BFG would work because they aren't as wide as the rest of the mfg.

 

Can you put a tape measure to the tire and give the true overall height and width for us?

looking to do a 1.5" Readylift and trying to finalize a tire and size for my factory 20x9 wheels. I want the biggest i can fit with minimal to no rubbing. after the posts i have ready i seem to be able to for sure do a few different sizes in 275, 285, and even some shorter 305 widths. anybody running something similar with pics?

I have a 2.25 Ready Lift that was installed by the dealer, has anyone experienced a slight shake or rumble around 60-65? I brought it into the dealer and the answer they gave me was that the blocks make the steering lighter and it causes wandering leading to the rumble. Their solution was to rotate the tires. Anybody have input on this?

Makes no sense that rotating tires would fix that unless your tires were never rotated in over 10K miles and cupped, or way too much or too little PSI. I'm betting you probably have stamped steel control arms based off your username 16 silv, and any level kit over 2 inches creates problems with those arms.

 

Rough country made a kit specifically for these arms now with their 2.5 kit, it uses a preload spacer now for them instead of the bottom and top spacers used in all the other kits over 2 inches. I would install that kit or remove the 1/4 inch spacer from yours, AND make sure your tires are balanced correctly and alignment is correct. If all of the above have been checked, it's most definitely the kit being too much for those stamped arms.

Question for all you 2.5 RC enthusiasts. What are your thoughts on doing the the front 2.5 setup and putting the universal 5 inch blocks in the rear instead on the supplied 2 inch blocks?

 

Currently I have a 3" rake going on and figure it would only take .5" out of my rake but give me 4" in the back and 2.5" in the front.

 

Also curious going up to a 5" block with that kit and the u bolts wont work so what length u bolts I would have to go with?

 

Thoughts?

If you still want a rake use the bigger block. I used the 2" block that came with the kit, my measurements after install (including tires) are 39.5 at front fender and 40 in rear.

      Clunk when putting truck into drive and reverse.

      By Matt Parker · Posted

      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 ?

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      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.
