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 ordered the Rough Country kit, 1305 GM 07-15 2.5" leveling lift kit and upgrade my tires to Bridgestone Dueler AT Revo 2's, P275/60R20 which are 33" tall compared to my Goodyear Eagle LS2 which are 31.8. I will be loosing an inch and some in width (10.0 to 8.7 wide). One of the guys in the service department has 35"s on his 1500 with the same lift but I don't want to throw off the speedo too much... I would think there are other factors that would also be changed as a result of tire size such as shift points of the tranny etc... If I could just touch 34 inches tall I would be right in the sweet spot.

I do like the look of the wider tires on these stock 20 wheels but I need to check the wheel size. I believe these are 2013 LTZ wheels and should have 31 offset backspacing. My summer shoes also have 31 offset, 5308 Hollanders that come on the Tahoe, Avalanche etc... Decisions decisions...

Keep the photos coming in and don't forget to post your lift size and tire size with the photos. That really does help us guys on the fence!!!

I have a 2014 Sierra SLE with a 2.5 RC lift with the stock 1" block in the rear. I want to put 295/70/18. Will these work on my truck? I'm getting conflicting strories from the tire sizes. Some people say they don't rub with that size but others say they barely rub with only 33s. I little guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys. I'm a newbie to the site by the way. I've been getting a lot of good info from the threads.

Ok, I took a the top .5 " spacer off the kit and I thought that would fix the issue. However the popping noise is still present and the awful creaking noise too. I tried to get a video of it but it's hard because it's raining and I can't press the gas (exhausts fault). You can hear it faintly in the video when I turn the wheel and when I pop it out of reverse/drive. It acts up even more towards the end. Turn your volume up high because it's not a super loud noise. It's much louder in the cab than on camera, but that should give an idea.

 

I re torqued some of the bolts, I couldn't get to the ball-joint bolt yet. At this point I'm considering removing the hold kit. Any ideas??

      Software Update

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I am not techy at all but wondered if you have the truck running but sitting still in park as some functions gray out as soon as the truck is moving. I believe in the settings for updates you can choose for it NOT to update and I wonder by chance if maybe that was chosen before and now it won't allow you to chose to press update, I think that is back in the settings menu where it has all the items one wants on or off etc. Also I assume you have a wifi connection and checked that it has some signal strength, not that it would have anything to do with the grayed out updates choice in that case. What I am thinking out loud of here may be be of no value but thought I would suggest it, sometimes it can be the simplest thing that resolves an issue.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      The so called rare failure that some certainly liked to tout ( die hard Ford fan boys ) as per the lifter failing and wiping out the cam. Back when it started happening the blame was being pointed to the lifters and honestly I never did hear anything myself conclusively one way or the other on that. Ford themselves in I believe 2024 had a technical bulletin I will call it that came out and for some engine platforms they were reprograming the engines idle speed but also they had a software update for the oil pump which then some time later was said what that software update did as to be increasing the oil pressure at idle. It is a good question if that issue was completely solved as one Ford specialist mechanic youtuber said he saw failures after that time period. Like anything there would be the variables, what oil is being used and the OCI and how much idle time gets put on an engine. I've seen some comments to claim that the L8T isn't so happy with high idle time either but I also know that companies that require their vehicle to idle a lot on the job don't tend to get the oil changed often enough for all those hours of idle time and go off of the odometer.

      Lower trims ( WT, Custom, Silverado ( aka LT )

      By bwiese · Posted

      My 2026 Silv. 1500 WT (reg cab/short bed/4wd) has the 40/20/40 with storage in lower middle seat as well as the fold-down center bolster/armrest.   With the dual glove boxes this is about as much storage as possible in a std cab IMHO. Bill

      2026 Silv. 1500 WT reg cab: how many speakers do I have? Is amp module separate?

      By bwiese · Posted

      I have a 2026 base 1500 "WT" regular cab with basic Chevy "Infotainment 3" 7-inch screen/radio. How many speakers do I have If I want to upgrade? Is the audio amp separate from the radio/display unit]? [I listen to classical and it gets a bit raspy at slightly higher volumes. Don't need a sub etc.] Do I have two or 1 speakers in the doors? etc. Thanks Bill  San Jose

      Bench seat swap for 2021-2024 suburban

      By davester · Posted

      probably won't get a response from that user, as they haven't returned to the site since making that one post.  users don't (at least I don't, and I haven't seen any setting which would notify me via say, email) get any notification other than going to this site, and checking if they got a response on their thread...
