Hello, about to pull the trigger on a rc 2.5 kit. I want to retain at least 1-2 inches of the factory rake. Anyone upgrade the 2" blocks that come with this kit to 3"? And if so have pics? Seems like even with the 2" block they're sitting only .5-1" higher in the rear which still makes them look nose high. I'd rather the rake, and yes I am also thinking about leaving the .5" top spacer out and just going with the 2" block. But I'd like Pics if you're running 3" blocks with this kit. Hard to make the mind up lol

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.

RC 2" lower spacer only, stock rear height, crappy stock LS2 tires on stock 20" wheels. My driveway is slightly up hill but there still is about a 1 1/2 " rake.

Check out my truck, it has rear airbags instead of larger blocks:

Yes this is the look, very nice. Did you have to get the longer shocks in the rear or do the stockers work. Also do you have measurements from fenders to ground? Txs

Hello

First official post on the forums. New to the truck scene, drive a 2014 silverado which I'm going to install a 2" RC leveling kit on. I want to stick with either 18 or 20 inch rims up to 32" or 33"max tire size. I also want to install bushwacker style pocket fender flares but am thinking with that minimal of a leveling and no additional lift it will look funny because i would have to run a 9 or 10 inch wide rim at a low or negative offset to push out the tire and wheel. Any input would be appreciated. Thank you

Leave the fenders alone, yes it will look funny. Fenders are for 35+ tires imo. Les schwab told me with a 2", 285 65 18 fit the best. Are you going to install yourself? super easy to do! I made my own kit, before I bought Bilstien 5100s adjustables.

Ever think about ditching the mud flaps? Cleaned it up a bit.

Thanks! I used a 2.5" Motofab kit (2" bottom of shock and 1/2" on top) and 3" rear motofab blocks! Originally had a 2" on it only and looked small. Really like the look now. Here's a front stance pic b9d6d86918feffe7081760f6980c507d.jpg

Ya I would like to ditch the flaps but I drive a lot of gravel and crappy highways here in Manitoba (Canada) and they make a huge difference protecting the underside of the truck. Plus the duratracs throw stones like crazy, saves other drivers windshields

      There's some truth to the above, but also, she's selling fullsize trucks and bread/butter CUV's like hotcakes, meanwhile, extracting GM's pickups from the deep discounting sales game.   GM's stock has held its own during her tenure, and the more recent buybacks are delivering cash back to investors and signal confidence in their direction forward. Even with the EV losses.   GM is an example of a modern publicly traded company. The #1 goal of any publicly traded company is to deliver the most value possible to shareholders. Despite being a car company, building the best car isn't GM's path to delivering maximum shareholder value.   McDonalds doesn't make the best burger, or the best coffee.   I've mentioned in another thread, I really don't / won't ever understand Cadillac or Buick in a modern context. Both brands are completely dead to me. I'll cede that the Escalade is a nice SUV, but the brand and nameplate mean nothing to me, and GM will never persuade me to pay north of $170k for a gussied-up Tahoe or Burb. Other people don't mind doing that and that's their purview.   The C8 shares absolutely nothing in common with any other current Chevrolet or Corvette on the market. Since its introduction 8 years ago, it's developed quite the following. It did what other Corvettes couldn't do: reduce the average age of its buyer. GM has something there, and I see them investing in the car. They'd better not mess that up.   We've successfully derailed Grumpy's thread again, but I think this one is meant to be more of a random thought thread so a little wandering is probably OK.

      Sliding doors ftw   Also, Sienna ftw as well.  The in-laws got a 2024-2025 recently when their 2019 sienna was totaled due to a deer back in June.  They've been getting 38-40mpg on the 65mph highway they live on.

      07 yukon xl 6.2 stalls at hot idle and wont restart

      By xdieselmechanic · Posted

      Forgot to mention that this started after changing the oil I use mobile 1 full syn with mobile one filter but I did add pro lube additive and was the first time doing so and is making me wonder just can't see why that would matter

      07 yukon xl 6.2 stalls at hot idle and wont restart

      By xdieselmechanic · Posted

      I apologize for long post put going to try to explain everything. Parts replaced so far: Cam sensor Crank sensor Cam phaser valve Cam phaser solenoid Fuel pump Maf 1 injector Pcm Pdm   So about 2 weeks ago coming off the highway my 2007 yukon xl with the 6.2 stalled and would restart. Had unit towed back to house and I messed around with relays and unit started. Drove it the next day and same thing. Had it towed again. Scanned unit and had code p0300 with misfire data showing mainly cylinder 7 but I know that won't cause a no start. Measure fuel pressure and found only 42 psi replaced pump to have unit stall again and not restart. This time I stayed on back roads and just waited for it to restart about 30 to 60 min. During this time I found I have no injector pulse but have good power at injectors. Started unplugging 1 injector at a time and found when unplugging cylinder 7 pulse came back so i changed injecto and same issue. Turns out unit just happen to ready to start at that time. Scanned into unit and found no reason for the pcm to take away injector pulse so I replaced the pcm and same issue. I figured timing sesnor controlled the injector pulse so I replaced both sensors and while I had the water pump of i replaced the vvt components while i was in there. Read multiple people have luck chaging the maf for this issue so I changed it. Unit still stalls to this day and loses injector pulse on the ground side when it does. Have noticed watching the live data the pcm is request injectors to fire via injector pwm value. I have redone the ground wires at the left bottom of the block knowing this was the ground location for the pcm but still no luck. I am a mechanic by trade but this is having me pull my hair out. If anyone has something to have me check I will gladly im not much of a parts thrower but im about to load the cannon

      auto mechanical driver's door unlock without pressing button? [2026 Silv. 1500 WT 4WD RC SB 2.7L]

      By newdude · Posted

      Actually.  Wait.   I just re-read your original post.  Are you talking from INSIDE the truck you have to hit unlock?  Or from the key fob?  I had assumed from the key fob.   IF you are talking the inside unlock button, I assume you are shifting to park and its not unlocking the doors?  If so, that is changed via the settings page in the radio.  Go to SETTINGS, then VEHICLE and then it should be under LOCKS or DOOR LOCKS or something like that.
