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.

If I have a 2" front level, do I want a 2" block to regain that towing rake?

If your planning on towing then prob best to add an extra leaf. If you simply want a bigger rake then the 2" block should do it.

Oh snap good? Or oh snap bad? Haha

 

The Hellwig's are progressive so in theory they do nothing until there is loads bearing on them. Between that, the good reviews I found online and the price point - you can't beat it.

 

That being said, I've had them on there for only two weeks so idk how they function while towing yet. And although they aren't supposed to change anything until load bearing - I have the adjustment ends on as loose as I'm comfortable with and it did stiffin the ride a tiny bit (but I actually prefer the way it rides now).

FYI:

 

I just purchased a 2017 Sierra 1500 4x4 SLT and requested the dealership to install a leveling kit. They chose the Ready Lift 2.25". My tires rub the upper control arm when at full lock. I am running factory tires and wheels.

I like the Summit Performance one. I buy them off ebay. They are aluminum and powder coated black. Comes with the bolt kit and all. I had made a video for my youtube channel on how to install it.

 

 

 

Hope this helps. You can email me if you have any questions I could help you with.

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.

I'm running 305/55/r20 which is the same and no trimming rub a little at full lock turn up or down a driveway that's it and very little

Looking to run a 2" level kit and 305 50 20's on my stock wheels with 2" wheel spacers on my 2016 Silverado. Think I'll have any rubbing or any issues

I have 305/55/r20 on stock wheels no problem with a leveling kit I don't know about the spacers

      The Peckish Synapse

      Well that book won't sell many copies. Taking ones right foot off the loud pedal never gets applause. Funny really, It isn't that people don't know what to do...they just don't want to do it. But they will complain about it. About bad craftsmanship, about the cost of fuel, about the cost of part and repairs and mainly they complain that the solution while still possible isn't one they are willing to do.    I observe this daily. 'Gas cost to much!", they wail, while they mat it passing at 80+ mpg and scoot down the road like gas cost a dime a gallon. Then complain about the few that will lift and save both fuel and iron like they are owed and own the road.    Good thing they haven't an ounce of influence on my equipment. The rest I just laugh at. Stupid is as stupid does, right Forest?

      Gas Prices

      Today I filled up with 4.899 gallons of fuel at a cost of $4.899 a gallon. $24 bucks. 290 miles. 59.2 mpg. After my 4% COSTCO discount just under eight cents a mile.

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      Howdy folks,   Recently I pulled a heated steering wheel and clock spring out of a 2015 Sierra All Terrain (part numbers coming soon - will have to disassemble), and just installed it on my 2016 Sierra WT (as base model as it gets).   On install, I noticed that I’m missing the connector often tucked behind the dash for the heating element.     No problem… or so I thought.   I used an “Add-A-Fuse” at my heated steering wheel fuse location, which has voltage, but no wires. I ran it to the positive of the heated steering wheel (Violet/White), and took black to ground.   Hooked up the battery, turned the truck on - no heated steering wheel. No button backlights. Was pleased to see that my cruise control was working though.   Read a post suggesting reversing polarity, so I gave it a shot. Violet and White to ground, Black to power.    Aha! Heat! But I seemingly can’t turn it off AND still no backlights on any of the buttons.    Checked all fuses, everything is still in good order. I’m stumped.   Does anyone have any insight? If so, please share!

      Brake Pad Warning Message

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      I'm about 1800 miles into my last oil change, and yesterday a message appeared saying oil life was at 77%. Not sure why it popped up but I think all of these electronics could be susceptible to solar flares or somesuch. I change my oil right at 3K each time, and that was the first time in 10870 miles that message came up. Strange thing is that it showed on the screen at all since I don't drive with that sort of info displayed on the DIC.
