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

I have a level kit now with factory struts and shocks. Have 49k on them. What are others getting out if their stock suspension items? Looking at going with a fox 2.0 setup for front and rear to get a better ride. Mrt seems to have a great price so I will probably go with them. Is there anywhere else I should check before ordering?

I got it leveled on Friday. Thanks everyone for all the help while I searched for the setup I wanted. I am very pleased with how it turned out. Here's a before and after.

Just installed mine from them. Fair warning, the fronts took over a month to get in, with ZERO help from MRT...I ended up calling Fox to see when the next batch of 2.0 coilovers were shipping out. Rears and everything else took under a week.

 

The prices are great, but MRT definitely buys from warehouses, not direct from vendors - so they will not know the ETA's until they actually ship. Communication is a bit of a problem.

 

Fox 2.0s are great though. Here's mine after the front coilovers and rear shocks/2" ILO 1" block. Brought the front up just over 1.5" and brought the rear up for 1". Measuring 37.7" in the front and 40" in the rear. Will be towing my boat soon, wanted to keep good amount of rake. Stock tires still, new rubber will come in winter.

I got my Kings coilovers and rears from AutoAnything at a price that beat MRT by a ways. That said, I couldn't get a response from MRT via forum PM to see if they would match it, then found out afterwards that it's better to email MRT because they respond quicker that way. Regardless, AA worked with me when I needed the Kings shipped to a different address during a move and they also worked with King to expedite the coilovers after they were notified of the shipping date slipping.

Did you pull your truck into the living room to put those on? Either that or you have wood floors in your shop/garage?

Haha no lots of 2x4s and some 2x6s - my dad uses this to drive his truck in the garage at the right angle.

If I'm trying to run 285/65's or 33x12.5 on 18s what offset could I run? Would I run into problems with a 0 or +1? been looking into +18 mostly so far. Running a '16 1500 with ReadyLIFT 2.25 level.

 

Thanks!

I have a 2014 Silverado 1500 High Country 4x4 5.3L

 

I'm putting on a 2" RC level this weekend and not going to touch the rear. I'm trying to decide on 275/65/20 or 285/65/20 BFG KO2's. Ive seen guys run the 275's no problem and only a few with 285's but mostly with RC 2.5" level. I'd like to run 285's if I can but don't want any problems off-road or over bumps or rubbing the sway bar, etc.

 

Im fine with zip tying the inner fender well but no cutting

 

I've searched far and wide for a firm answer but can't seem to find it

 

Can anyone help or have experience with the 285 setup on 2" level?

Which stock UCAs do you have? If aluminum or stamped steel (not cast) you'll rub the UCAs before you hit the sway bar. Generally on the stock wheels the limitation is the UCA because people want to go wider than they do tall.

Figured I'd throw up a few pics of my 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 dbl cab with level lift, 20x9s, and 33x12.5 toyo r/t tires. Reused the ready lift 2.25 from my 2014 silverado on this so I could buy the wheels and tires I wanted now. Plan on bumping up to a 4" lift in the next 6 months or so.

      Mangoal or FitcamX OEM Dashcam?

      By MANGOAL · Posted

      Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge.

      Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
