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’ve picked up on a whole lot of that going on, on these forums

Great pics!  I've always been a fan of white lettering on the tires.  This is definitely the route I will go if I buy black rims.  Still debating between black or bronze...

They may be closed for the holidays, try them back on Monday. They do have the shocks you want.

 

Unfortunately, I have had no luck getting a hold of them.  Didn't feel comfortable placing an order with a company that was this hard to get a return message from.

 

I was also curious about the color scheme of their coilovers.  The pics that you posted of your set look like they are more of a gray color, but the pics on CST's site look like they they are black with silver coils.  I actually prefer the gray, so that was another question that I wanted to clarify with them.

Not sure if I’ve already posted the finished results here.

Yeah I really like the look of those front coilovers.  Hopefully I will be able to connect with them at some point.  Have a feeling they won’t honor their Black Friday pricing, but it never hurts to ask!

Well, I gave you the #, try it out. I know on weekends they’re on skeleton crew.

I think I’ve read all 457 pages of this forum and I just want to clarify something. If I get the ready lift 2.25 level WITH UCA’s I should be good to run 275/60r20 on stock wheels without rubbing correct?

Want to make sure I do this right and don’t go down a rabbit hole of lost money

Yes. I ran 275/60/20 KO2’s and they rubbed on stock wheels. With new UCA’s you should be good but call them and discuss it with them just to give yourself added security.

Just talked to them. No dice. Said the recommend a 1/2 inch spacer which I’m trying to avoid. Sounds like you can’t level these 2017’s and run a bigger tire on stock wheels with anything currently out there without another mod.

I had to buy new 20x9 wheels with a plus 1 offset which fixed the issue. You’ll also need to buy new rear shocks leveled or lifted. I ran Bilstein 5100’s.

This was the finished product 2.25” level with 285/60/20’s.

This is the current setup with a 4.5” CST lift and suspension. Rides just like stock, a ton better than the leveled setup I had. I will never level anything ever again without doing front coilovers.

Why do you need new rear shocks in the situation? It’s already 2-3 inches higher in back

That’s if you raise the rear as well when leveling.

Got it. Thanks for the info. Great looking truck btw. 

 

Anyone know if I just put a 1.5 spacer with stock wheels and tires  if that will work out ok? 

 

Im just trying to eliminate some of the extreme rake

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      That dog don't hunt. 😏   First, a 2025 with 12K on the clock AND idled for a year nonstop is false on it's face; this is 2026. You can do one or the other but not both.    Second, ENGINE HOURS are absolutely available. The rest is third grade math. Micky Mouse scanner he got out of a box of Cracker Jacks OR an ID10T error.    Third, if they ran it out of oil "Several times" that motor is boned on the first hit.    Does this guy think piling higher makes it stink less?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      That's interesting, I assume that would add to the cost of the oil but also I was forgetting to bring up the issue of the low tension rings allowing more oil past which in turn forces the cats to have more oil additives pass through them that wouldn't otherwise so they are creating that problem and of course its all in the name of fuel economy. Mind you the other issue would be the lack of additives that fight the formation of carbon within the piston ring grooves which turn the engine into an oil burner and with in this GM forums case is your average off the shelf Dexos licensed oil, meanwhile the other off the shelf oil being Valvoline's R&P isn't licensed and the only one that is which is that certain Mobil oil that came out recently ( its not even being marketed in Canada ) and only a fraction of vehicle owners are going to be using it out of all the other oils on the shelf or the quickie lube bay that meet the Dexos spec by way of actual licensing.    Also I suspect that its an easy excuse to pool the non turbo DI engines in with the turbo DI engines and design the oil to not have LSPI issues in the most demanding engines and short change the naturally aspirated DI by not offering a higher concentration of additive package they could handle and still not be at risk of LSPI.    I wonder if Amsoil flipped the switch just lately and did whatever packaging designation at the same time as I wonder what oil formulation I would have bought in May, of course I don't know when it was packaged at the factory vs how long it was in storage at the Edmonton warehouse. I know its been said at least in the past that the big players switch over to a reformulated oil but the packaging has not changed until they make that move as well so there is that cross over time where its a new formulation in a predated formula marked package.

      Hmm. A real reason to not just use the odometer to determine OCI?

      Sad thing is that this doesn't have to be the case. LSPI can be solved without a reduction in TBN. Swap Ca for Mg.  Cats are not a issue if the OEM can get a ring and valve guide seal even at SN levels of SAPS. Dizzy is purring like a kitten with a bowl of warm milk. 200K of Full SAPS oil and zero detonation issues and nice a clean inside and out. This shouldn't be an issue. It isn't 1920.    Tell ya what AMSOIL SS is excellent at, internal cleanliness. The new formula is even a step up from their already outstanding cleanliness levels. Can't say the OEM offering is quite that clean. There marketing suggest the SS is cleaner.     That is the only defense with at shelf oil. Nothing wrong with them if you ignore the marketing and OEM 'recommended' OCI and use a thimble full of common sense. 😉 You go sir.

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By StingerZ16 · Posted

      I started with a folding cover by BAK PAC on my 2500. It went bad after close to 5 years. Bent and vinyl coming loose. Contacted BAK and they gave me a very good discount on a Revolver. Had it a number of years. Mostly outdoor storage. Some garage storage. Vinyl started to come loose. Still under warranty so they replaced to cover. Sold the 2500, bought the 1500 and got another revolver for it. Had it a couple years now and no issues. I store it indoors. Got a bit of discount when buying it as well. If you are seeing problems, contact BAK or real truck and let them know. Customer service was pretty good. But I think they changed their warranty.
