Not sure if this is the right post to ask this in, but are the stock shocks long enough to use if I put 3 inch blocks in the back?

That I'm not sure of. I added shock extenders on mine just in case

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.

That's great, do you happen to have pics of how it looks with the 3 inch blocks?

This is mine with 3 inches all around

I didn't think you could run 275/70/18 without at least 1" of front. But is it really needed? Or can I run this size without a level and not have any rubbing?

All around? That looks level, where is the rake? Did you do 3 front and a 3 inch block in back? That would be essentially a 1.75 rear lift.

 

Nice truck, keep the rims and a more aggressive and large AT tire it would be perfect, dig the color.

Correct as far as I remember the stock block is 1.25 so the rear got lifted 1.75 inches. The front a full 3. With the original level it was a 3 in front and a 2 inch block in the back. With that it looked like a slight slight squat in the rear. Adding the 3 inch rear block gives almost no rake. On flat ground you have to stare at it to see the ever so slight rake.

You think the stock rims? I was curious on that as a friend said the same but like some of the AM rims and yes at least 33s maybe 34s if they can fit

Just put a 2.25 Ready Lift on my 2016 GMC SLE Z71. I am putting 275/70R18 Duratracs on it next weekend. Any others out there run the same setup without looking through this whole topic? Should I expect any rubbing?

They'd probably fit stock. 295/65R19 Duratracs fit with a 2.5 level.

Anyone help me out on tire size?

 

2016 GMC Sierra SLT

Stamped Steel Control Arms

Factory 20x9 Wheels - (23220752)

 

Installed 2.5" Rough Country Lift this weekend, with rear blocks.

 

I've read through all posts and nothing is clear, tire rubs on one truck but not the other.

 

I am looking to run Nitto Trail Grappler's 33x12.5x20 (32.76x12.52) or a Nitto Trail Grappler 295x55x20 (32.91x12.52).

 

Will either of these fit without rub, if rub, how much trimming.

 

Thanks for any and all suggestions.

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money".

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed, regardless of whether they are in warranty or not, or in the hands of the original owner or not. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?
