Haven't noticed anything yet! Rides similar to stock. Tires may it a tad more rough, but that's expected. I'm going to replace the rear shocks anyways, the ranchos are terrible

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.

Either bilsteins or halolifts (formerly f150lifts).

Here's a before and after of a 2.5" RC front & 2" rear block on my '16 Sierra with factory 20's.

Below is a pic of my suspension and the angle of my front drive shaft at the wheel. Love the look of the raised truck, but the ride, its another question. I read back thru the last 20 pages of this specific forum, and only found one comment about the ride. Mine feels as if there is rolling resistance, as if something is holding it back. Yes, in neutral it rolls as it should but even then or under power, still feels like resistance. It's only been 2 weeks since I completed the DIY project. Any thoughts anyone? Just searching the web, a ricer forum thought someones E-brake cable might be pulling taught. Any help?

You get an alignment yet? That could definitely be the issue if not.

Will a rough County 2.5 leveling kit allow for a 275 70 18 tire without rubbing?

I have that size on my truck and its perfectly fine. Never had any rubbing issues.

The other reply is correct though, throws the speedometer off.

at 60-70 its off about 3mph and at 75-85 its off by about 4.

Rolling over 40k on my stock tires now. So i'm doing my research for my new setup once they are shot.

 

I plan on getting Fuel Assault D546 20x9 or 20x10. The 20x9 is available in a +1 or +20 offset, the 20x10 is a -18 offset. I want to wrap these in a 275/60 Bfgoodrich T/a KO2. Any suggestions on which wheel would be better? I wouldn't mine 1/4 - 1/2 inch sticking out of the wheel well if that's viable.

 

As for the lift, I was looking at the MotoFab kits, would a 2.5 front and 2" rear fit the wheel setup and maintain a slight rake? Or would I be better off with the 3" front and 2" rear?

 

Thanks for the help gents, i'm new to this, my first real truck. I've got a 2015 Sierra SLE double Cab 4x4 if that helps.

A 2" leveling kit should leave you with about a 1/2 to 1" rake with stock rear.

20x10 is too wide for a 275 tire, especially a KO2 that already has a narrow section width, unless you're going for that look 7.5-9.5 is the approved width per BFG, doesn't mean you can't do it though, a negative 18 will likely rub as well especially on a 10 inch wide wheel possibly more than a zip tie can fix. 275 60 20 on a 20x9 +1 should clear and give the truck a nice stance. Just my 2 cents.

I have a 2014 silverado 1500 with a 2" rough country front only level. Just got myself a set of 18×9 xd hoss wheels with a +18 offset. Anyone think I would be able to clear either 275/70/18 or 285/65/18 without any rubbing or trimming? Greatly appreciate the help.

Waaazooo do you happen to have any pictures? How much clearance do you have at full turn?

There is a guy on here running 295/70/18s on +18 offset wheels. You should be fine.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.

      I can't believe that could possibly be the case. It should be 36mo/100k miles from installation. Then again, it also seems like since a dealership installed it, it'd all be in the system and you wouldn't need to worry about registering, either. Shows you what I know. 😄 Hope this one outlives the warranty!

      I haven't seen inventory recovery from COVID.    In the few random times I 'build my own' truck or SUV, no one has the exact one I want.   GM has been working to lower incentives too for a long time.    A $500 incentive isn't getting me off the couch to go truck shopping.
