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.

Mine is finally done! After months of research I went with the RC 2.5" level kit front only, stock rear block. 20"x9" Fuel Nutz w/ +1 offset, 33x12.50x20 Toyo M/T tires. No rubbing, No trimming, yet a

Thanks!! Really simple, I went to Home Depot and bought an Aluminum L shaped 8ft piece and used that as my mounting brackets, the just installed the lights to the aluminum and then wired the lights to a separate toggle in the cab and done!! I'll make a video and upload to YouTube

Finally got my level and wheels and tires! Couldn't be happier with the results.

Motofab 2.5" front and 1" rear

17x9 -12 offset with 295/70R17 General Grabber x3's

All I did for trimming was cut out a little piece of the rear of the front wheel wells. If done clean enough, you'd never really even know if was done. No rubbing of any kind

I have a 2" RC Level if anyone wants it. Will sell it cheap. Was going to put it on my 2016 Silverado but traded it in last week.

Thanks man! I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out. After doing a little bit of hauling after the level and wheels and tires, I will say I kinda wish I would have left a little more rake. Maybe up 2" in the rear instead of just 1. It doesn't take a whole lot of weight in the box or tounge weight and she starts squatting a little bit. My buddy put bags and compressor with a wireless controller on his 2017 and it's a slick set up. Might do the same.

Yea the bags are definitely the way to go from what I've read. I have 1.5" of rake and have Hellwig helper springs. It's the cheaper option but I'm very happy with them.

Beautiful truck and setup. I have a fairly similar setup

 

you said -12 on 17x9? Looks a little less than that to me. I almost think mine pokes a little more and im 17x9 +6 with 285's. I guess the 0.5" makes the difference. I'll post a pic

How much did the top setting net you?

Love the look, sharp truck!! I almost went with those tires in the same size but decided for the nittos instead? How do you like them?

~2" lift. I think I'm going to do the 1" rear lift as well, any weight and she tends to look like a pig with her nose up

You can tell my rear tires stick out a bit more then yours and as far as the fronts go, the taller the leveling kit, the tighter the wheels get pulled to the center of the truck because of the suspension geometry. This is why my front and rear poke is almost identical vs a truck with a true lift kit. With those the front wheels always poke out a bit more then the rear.

Thanks!! So far I love them. I have less then 1000 miles on them so I think it's a little early to say how quiet they are, but for MT's the noise is not bad at all. Radio barely on and you don't even notice it.

      Feeling Vibration and Jiggles in 2024 HD Gasser Steering Wheel

      By Policeoff01 · Posted

      Curious, did anyone ever get a fix for the vibration reported here.   I have a 2024 Silverado with 6.6 duramax.   I’m noting the same vibration resonating up through the steering shaft into the steering wheel.    Best way to describe- like someone is tapping on the steering shaft/components and it’s resonating into the steering wheel.    thanks.

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.
