Here is my truck after the dealer installed a 2.25” level. Put some 285/70/17 Mickey Thompson P3’s on it.

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.

I just installed a 2" BDS Level kit, because I got it here in the classifieds for cheap.  I may add another .5" at some point.  Stock wheels and tires for now, with 2" spacers on the wheels.  I'll be adding a Zone Add-A-Leaf (and put my cap back on), and 305/65-18's.

What year truck do you have? I have a 17 All Terrain with the same set up but with et37 and 1.25" spacers and still rub at full lock on liners. My offset is about +5 with spacers. You'll rub slightly more than me if you have a 16, 17, or 18.

You should rub liners but should also clear the upper control arms fine. Liners are easy, either trim them or pin them back. Good luck!

And I was wrong. It's a 295 55 20

Has anyone done the Readylift 2.25" kit with UCAs on a 17 Silverado and run 275/65r20s?  I searched and couldn't find that exact setup.  Unfortunately, I have the stamped steel control arms and everything I read says they are trash with a level so I figure I should go with something that swaps them out.

Alright so ... are 275/60/20 going to ‘look’ too narrow when I level? [emoji51]. Pretty set on this size as I feel it’s a good price and modification compromise.

285/55R20 are smaller than 285/65R18 (by 1/3 inch tall)

 

check this out...that size is really close to 285/65R18...i think it would be fine...but as far as Duratracs...many people love them, I am not a fan...when I got my truck, I swapped them out for KO2s within a month...

So...I see people post (here and other places) shots of their trucks with 2", 2.25", or 2.5" and each will claim it sits perfectly level...sometimes I see a post of one with a 2" and I think it looks great then I'll scroll down and see one with 2.5" and think it looks great.  I do not want my '15 Silverado Crew z71 to look like the front is higher than the rear.  A buddy of mine said a 2.5" Motofab had his sitting perfectly level (by looks and measurement) but then I see Ron505's post of his 2" BDS and it almost looks like the front is slightly higher. lol 

 

All that to say...I'm not going to be disappointed with a 2.5" Motofab on the front, am I?  I.e. it'll sit level?  Stock wheels/tires for now...will go slightly bigger on tires when I replace 'em down the road.  

 

MHardiman90's looks great to me (looks level, etc.) but I guess I'm just on the fence and wanting to make sure I'm not going to show up when they finish installing it and regret something.

That's because in reality .5" from 20 feet away isn't noticable. I think you'll be fine with whatever you get!

Anyone fit 295/70/17 on a 2" level? Not many pics online and trying to see how they look compared to 285/70/17


I just got done with my truck. 295/70r17 Toyo RT’s on method NV 17x8.5 0 offset with no rubbing. No trimming, cutting, or even zip ties on the liner. 2.5” lift in the front with king coilovers. New camburg UCA’s also 5d79f27b1905767fd09396e508558b16.jpg3eb2a6371dd608075375b90d3da03cee.jpgc0bdf6b40a421c7e421ea95a081dc374.jpgc0bdf6b40a421c7e421ea95a081dc374.jpg

      Needing this part.

      Still looks like a rivet to me in the pics, I don't see a nut and none of the pics show the head of the screw. But if you says so.....

      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.
