2" motofab rear block (1" lift)
275 60 20 Cooper at3 4s

Has 28mm bora spacers due to level causing uca rub.
After going to 33" tires had to trim aftermarket mud flaps and zip tie wheel liner due to rub. 557376dfd579ef80f20e6843f8efa283.jpg

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.

Here’s to all y’all that said 285/70/18 would rub with a 2” RC leveling kit. Well I’m here to tell you they don’t but lord have mercy it’s close.

Dang, you really wanted everyone to see this by posting in 10 different threads!

 

Looks good -- nice and beefy, but your definition of "fit" might be limited to level straight pavement running.   At full lock with any kind of suspension compression, they are going to hit.  May just rub a little, or may catch the liner and start shredding it.    Looks like a tire more suited for a 4" lift than a level.    Glad you posted this because it confirms that my 285/65/R18s are the biggest I can run on my 2.5 level 2014 Sierra based on the way I use my truck.

Installing motofab 3” front and 2” rear leveling kit on 16 Sierra. I want to also add new UCA while I’m in there. Looking at motofab UCAs. What tire rim combo can I run without rubbing the UCAs. Buying 20x9 rims just need to know offset that will clear. I’m thinking +6 or less should be fine?

 

thanks

is that the front or rear?  have a hard time believing it wont rub at full lock...but if it doesnt and you can drive it, good on you.  little too close for my taste.

That’s the front at full lock to the left. Had these a couple weeks now and still no rub. Here’s a better view.

I’ve posted elsewhere but figured it goes here as well. Fairly recently did a 2.25” level with 285/60r20 Toyo Open Country ATIIs and really like the look and the ride!

I liked this setup and ordered it, minus the UCAS, yesterday.  Trying to decide if the control arms are necessary.

You'll have to cut inside fender well.

Not necessary but when i go 1" higher in the summer i will not have to change my uca's. I was proactive when i did this. Still liking my set up.

Thanks for the follow up. That’s good to hear. My kit should be here today and I’ll install it tomorrow.

Not sure if this is the right place to post, but I have a 2018 GMC Sierra All Terrain. I want to get a level completely on the truck and remove the rake. I also want to fit some 33.5’s-34’s by 11-11.5 wide tires and still keep good or better ride quality. I’m thinking of keeping my stock 20’s or possibly later get some Method 17’s. What are some good options for a daily driver such as myself. Not looking to rock crawl. Can I just put some Bilstein 5100’s in the front and remove the rear block? Any help would be appreciated. If this has been answered before I apologize but 250 pages is a lot to look at! Thank you!

      Whirring when accelerating at 1100 rpms 2022 LTZ 5.3

      By SteveP45 · Posted

      Idler Pulley… from what I understand GM and Chevy trucks no longer have an idler pulley.. they stretch belts for both belts… I had mine replaced by my local mechanic last year on my Chevy Silverado 5.3 z71 LT.   They have discontinued using them on 2019 through 2026 as of a Google search.

      Whirring when accelerating at 1100 rpms 2022 LTZ 5.3

      By Fatboy2V-rod · Posted

      Good morning! I have a whirring sound coming from the engine or transmission area when driving w/o towing when I accelerate at 1100 rpm’s. That’s how it started. Yesterday it was more obvious while towing a U-Haul even when not accelerating at 70 mph. I could see where it may have been possibly shifting gears due to a slight grade and the intermittent rpm changes as the transmission was possibly lowering the gear down. It was making the sound multiple times but it is not constant. I replaced the serpentine belt and idler pulley but no change. It only does it when I’m driving. No noise accelerating while in park. Just started @ 53,000 miles. It’s not always there though. Unfortunately, I feel it may be transmission related. Any thoughts or knowledge about the 2022 tranny that anyone can share. I have 2500 miles left on my p-train warranty. Thanks to all for any help!

      RAIN. It's dumping buckets. We needed it. What a welcome change...sitting here listening to it pour with my office window open.   Ok, not too much. It's not even September yet, we're not finished with summer yet....

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      If you have actually done it, there must be some secret tool or method of accessing the hidden bolt head that both manifold connections have. Two of the three bolt heads are staring at you in the face from below but the third one is covered by shielding and as far as I know only accessed by removing part of the fender well lining to gain access to it and even then its awful to access or from what I had seen of someone fighting with it on a video.    There is a reason why even mechanics that deal with the awkward or risky business of undoing the exhaust at the manifolds have done the same method others are doing with these L8T by flexing the exhaust if need be or just able to slip the pan out as I did without needing to touch hardware or pry on the exhaust. By rights the two seals should be replace when those joints are cracked loose as well.

      Actually it was a lot more controlled then I thought it might be and that isn't actually when I spilled some oil. I had thought prior of rounding up a couple of longer bolts with the same thread to swap out for a couple of the front edge pan bolts and then leaving one bolt left in the back but loosened off and then using a suction device to remove most of the fluid, that certainly would have worked and while I do have a couple of different devices I could have used to suck the fluid, now having done the job once I wouldn't even bother. I had thought of buying one of those pressurized vessels to suck or new fluid in and would if I was doing a job like this on a few vehicles but with one vehicle I just didn't bother and I have pail pumps as well I could have used assuming the hose end would fit into that less than roomy space but being such a thin fluid it pumped well with a quart type pump and just kept the hose into the trans and kept swapping containers and repeat.    What I would change to the method I did though was first jack up just the rear of the truck to put on jack stands to allow more oil to come out of the check plug on the front of the pan ( and as I did, I made sure to put that drain plug back in finger tight ) then follow through by putting the front on jack stands. Also that I would have used a larger sized drain pan in the sense of covering an area wider/longer beyond the transmission but I didn't have one and saw someone else on a youtube video using a masonry mud mixing tub and bought one at a hardware store to use in the future. The main oopsy  I did and why I spilled some oil was all my fault as I neglected to follow my own plan, I should have let down the pan as I did to drain out the front of it as much as would come out but then scooped out the remainder of the oil with the Dixie cup I had sitting there just for that purpose as by that point there is enough room to reach right into the front of the pan and just bail it out basically.
