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.

It doesn’t matter either way if it’s rubbing honestly.

Going with the readylift 1/2" hub centric wheel spacers all around with extended thread lug nuts. My local speed shop uses the same combo on their suburban with a 6" lift on 35 x 12's and they swear by it (only used to match width of front wheels). They have been in the game over 30 years so I can trust that. And as an engineer in my work we figure atleast 7 threads to be fully enganged, which is what this will provide. See pics.. Keep in mind the spacer in the pics was one he had in the back room to show me.

I did look into the steering stop that Zone offers B1188 that would be the steering stop part number, they come in the magna-ride leveling kits. The directions tell you to weld it onto the existing one. I am a fan of that and will keep it in mind. Not sure why they don't offer it as a separate part. Cool idea though. And wonder why its only in the magna-ride kit. 277e40260153d8a1ef8e1eb867ee1e6d.jpg285b7775e31cb55c498515886a80a489.jpg07b97f40587718c3546bb6818ecaef2e.jpg91cee6b97784147bc08ad43c93d38710.jpgeb7617417d9231a1c08a06f9a7e42e91.jpg

I posted this on a pic thread but figured I'd post it here as well...

 

Here's my 2018 LT 4x4 - she has a whopping 400 miles on the odometer.  The Michelin 265/65/18's were waaaaaaay too small so I went ahead and installed a Rough Country 2" leveling kit and a set of BF Goodrich 275/70/18's.  I guess I'm old school because I love the white letters.

Yeah I know. Zone told me to go to my local shop to get them. I like the idea. I found a nice set of 0 offset wheels (SCA, they build the black widows) that I will purchase when I need tires.. I would rather use the spacers for the time being as its "keeping it stock".

Traded in an 18 Denali for this 18 SLT. Had vibration issues that they just couldn’t figure out. RC 2” level with 275 60 2 Hankook tires. Happy with the look and even happier with the ride! No more vibration! 12AB1DE2-3143-444B-A892-6E36D150E19B.thumb.jpeg.bc207896e885440ddf783c106339d2bf.jpeg

.5" spacers installed with the extended thread lugs. No more rub! Will remain this way until I buy wheels. I am pleased with the fit up of everything. Of course, can't forget the fluid film. 4ba575eab94a8c6fb63b491677647259.jpg2ed27619dab92fb197b1b295ce60b106.jpgdc6974f028d1c564b6bc68f910346916.jpg

When installing the lower strut spacer to level your truck, has anyone just unbolted the bottom bolts, compress the strut and insert the spacer?  Is that possible or do you have to go through all the steps and unbolt the linkage, ball joints ect?

      Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      The thinking is that starting out in a higher gear makes it easier to avoid applying excessive torque when pressing the gas pedal. In a modern 4wd truck with 4 low and a limited slip or locking rear end, I would use 4 low and try to crawl up the ramp. Sometimes if they are too slippery, you have to back up to let the boat have some bouyancy, and then accelerate briskly to get some momentum to help you pull the through the slippery parts.

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.
