Ok. So 285 is slightly wider than the 275?

I’m wondering what’ll be more cost effective. A 285/60/20 or (as shop recommended) a 275/60/20. Maybe they said 65...?!

Yeah a bit wider - This helped me learn how to read tire size. The 285/65 or 275/65 will be 34”+

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

The first number is width in Milimeters. The second number is a ratio of the width that gives you height. So a 285/70/17 will be both taller and wider than a 275/70/17

Hey guys,

 

Currently running a 2” BDS level. I know it’s only a 1/2” but I’d really like to go up to 2.5” total...

 

As near as I can tell my BDS kit is a preload shim and a strut top spacer.... would I be okay with either replacing the strut top spacer with a thicker one or adding a spacer to bottom strut mount? And if so what thickness would I need? I’m not exactly sure I understand the math behind the spacers thickness vs what it actually lifts

 

Edit: would something like this be okay to add on into addition to what’s already there?

Looking for some advice.... I just picked up a 2015 Silverado 1500 the other day and the leveling kit, wheels, tires are going on next week. I won't be using the truck to tow often but I'll have a couple dirtbikes in the back ocassionally. When the truck will have a load I'd like to keep the leveled stance. Has anyone put airbags in the back just for this type of application? If so any pros or cons? I'm not looking for an elaborate remote system or anything just a very basic setup if there is such a thing.

 

Thanks in advance

New here guys, hi :). Here’s my black 16’ silverado... just installed the 2” RC leveling kit but I’m not happy with the results as it’s still got some rake to it (I want true level). Anyone recommend a good 2.5” leveling kit? 

 

 

Leveled it and added the oem Sierra 20” wheels

I'm feeling the same, I did the 2" as well and it doesn't look bad but I want more lift

I just want a level. So, results are that the 2” Rough Country level does NOT make the truck level?

Any 2” kit won’t get you perfectly level. Close enough to most, also depending on what’s in your bed and your individual truck.

I haven't taken measurements on mine yet but I went with the 2.25" Readylift level on the front and it looked nose high to me. I have since added an inch taller block in the back to give it a slight rake.

I don’t haul much. Usually just around town, some lumber, trash, etc.

Curious, What’s the offset on your Mavericks to fit that 34” tire?

The offset is +1. They rubbed on the carpet material in the wheel well but I trimmed it back, did not have to trim any plastic or metal

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thanks for all the help so far!   I did try right from 2026 right down to 2021, and only from 2023 down lets me select the option for tire psi change, but I get the vehicle not supported error!   I'll definitely try it under Chevrolet after work today, and I'll get the sensor number from gm for my truck tire sensors. And I'll let you know if it works for me under Chevrolet!   And if that doesn't work, I'm going to guess that what @Atlas said about maybe I have a different body control module could be true!

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      From where I'm sitting this sounds like a compatibility problem. I'm assuming the 2007 was a 900-series truck, and not an 800-series (they were sold side-by-side in dealerships that model year), since it starts and runs.   This is why I HATE post-2006 vehicles. Everything becomes a huge problem when you try to keep the thing running for longer than the manufacturer has designed it to.    I can't remember when Global-A architecture started - either '10 or '11. For your sake, you had better hope it's '11, or you're going to be spending some BIG money to correct this cluster-eff. That's something you need to find out before doing anything else. You may have several computers bricked ... but the fact that it runs tells me you MIGHT be ok here.     EDIT: Just did a quick refresher. You're screwed. This is Global-A. The 2 systems are NOT compatible in the slightest. Once you get the correct engine in there that IS compatible, you're going to need to see how many computers are locked. Absolute NIGHTMARE to straighten out, too. Your buddy might be better off cutting his losses and finding something else.   Welcome to post-2006 vehicle electronics. This is why I quit the industry, and drive nothing built after 1994. This stuff takes all the fun out of wrenching!

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      True, hard to say what differences there may or may not be between Chev and GM as well as a production year or mid year part change either.    I just found it odd that under the Sierra choice on the Autel that many of the last few years of production year did not include the choice of changing the tire pressure but if that is an Autel thing or a GM thing as to why the choices were not there. Knowing what tpms sensors are on the truck should give some guidance into which choices on the tool even make sense to try as I wouldn't give up just yet with the tool but I guess he will see what if anything he comes up with if he finds out a bit more info and tries a few more things on the Autel.

      Needing this part.

      By davester · Posted

      I'm sure if you went to a junkyard where you go in and pull the part off the truck yourself, not a used part place where they do it for you, you can get that part on it's own.  Depending on if and what else you would be buying, and time of day, they might even just skip over adding it as a item to the bill.
