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

The tires you have are LT tires so they are most likely a 10 ply. That is what is holding me up right now on buying what would be my 3rd set of tires. I want to get at least a 33" tall set of tire, closer to 34 would be perfect for me but I haven't found any "P" series tires that would get my that height. I don't want or need the 10 ply or want the heavy weight of the LT tires.

NoTyme - Nitto makes a 305-55-20XL Terra Grappler which are 33.2" tall and 12.4" wide and are extra load 4ply tire and not an LT 10 ply. These weigh in at 49lbs. Pretty happy medium, and I think this will be my next set of tires.

Thanks for the tip. I may have to look at them and see if they will fit with my stock rims.. :thumbs:

These Terra Grapplers are just shy of 32.5. I'm happy.

I know you guys get this questions all the time but I have a 2014 1500 z71 I have a 2.25 ready lift done. I'm looking to put the toyos mts on 275 70 18 on my stock rim. It measures a 33.6 I'm worried that I'll rub a lot I don't mind cutting a little but don't want to tear anything up thank you.

I have the toyos on mine in have a zero offset though and a 4 in lift just rubs the inner fender liner when doing a sharp turn I'm not sure they will fit with out an offset

If I'm sitting at 36.5" in the front and 39.5 or 39.7 in the back would the RC 2.5 front level only put the front higher than the rear? Should just 39 in the front and 39.5 in the back.

 

For those running 2.5" front level only how was your gas mileage?

I installed the ReadyLift 2.25" Leveling kit and I couldn't be happier. The overall ride quality doesn't feel any different than factory, the company was great to deal with and the build quality of the parts were awesome. I'm going to start with a set of 33" Terra Grapplers but if I feel the need for more tire and a larger lift I'll be calling them for the next kit as well.

What was your height of the front and rear fenders before?

Never measured before, but I'll take a measurement later

My kit has only been on two days. I did a 2.5 and a 1 in the back.

Truck sits great. I have not seen a change in gas millage. Stock wheels and tires.

 

I'm sure my new tires will kill the millage, but there a week out.

Mine was the exact same measurement as yours before I installed the 2.5 RC kit. I DID NOT put on the rear block and my measurements after the lift was installed is 39.2 in the front and 39.5 in the rear. I personally love the way it looks. I've been riding with the stock tires now for about 5,000 miles and am getting about 18mph average. I also took off the front air dam, so that may have affected my gas mileage as well.

I had the same set up. Switched to rancho quicklift loaded and rides awesome now. It's a complete strut replacement with a little over 2" of lift

      Thanks!  I figured as such; GM and other manufacturers have used standard parts and harnesses across trim levels and such for decades.  I pulled the blank accessory cover off of my commuter van (a 2016 or so Chevy 15-passenger) years ago and found the plug for a USB outlet.  It wasn't connected to anything, though (I tried swapping in an outlet from another van).  I was a GM Tech years ago (late-90s) and was pretty familiar with my 2006.  I might be wrong, but I view newer vehicles (pretty much anything made in the past 20 years) as being a lot more plug and play.  Meaning, more unused wires and plugs unless you have the Mack Daddy of vehicles.

      not all plugs will be used.  gm uses more generic harnesses that support most/all options, and if your truck doesn't have a specfiic option, the plug won't be used (commonly will have a dummy insert in the plug , or it'll be taped up, but some may just be left as is).  But it's sldo possible some p.o. has installed the wrong/cheaper parts that aren't correct for your vehicle...

      First off, I'm not trying to just get easy advice/fixes for the issues I've noticed so far.  I'll be combing through the site via searches and such, and if past experiences are any indication, should find what I need.  For the sake of conversation, though, I figured I'd post the handful of things I've noticed in the 12 hours since buying my 2010 SLE CCSB.     Indicator lights: Airbag and TPMS.  The tire pressures aren't reading for any of the wheels, so I'm pretty certain the sensors were either removed, are damaged, or are otherwise inoperable.  I used to mount and balance tires 25 years ago but am pretty much ignorant when it comes to TPMS.  My 2006 didn't have the sensors and this might be the fourth vehicle I've owned that does.     Radio: Rear speakers aren't working.  I removed the driver's side rear door panel and checked the speaker and wiring.  I also removed the sill and b-pillar covers to check the wiring.  A few minutes of Google Fu showed that this is potentially a head unit issue.    Switches: Power mirrors don't turn left/right.  I ordered replacement driver's door switches that should arrive tomorrow.  The windows and locks work but it was only about $20 for all of them.  The driver's side rear window switch lets the window down but won't put it back up.  I think the passenger rear doesn't work at all.  In the coming days/weeks, I'll break out my multimeter to check all of that.   Unknown wiring harness: There's a box attached to the front driver's side of the engine compartment, right where the second battery shelf is located.  There are three plugs, one of which looks like it fits a standard headlight-style bulb (9007 or similar).  It doesn't look like it's plugged into anything.  I'll do some digging and if I don't see anything elsewhere on the site, post some pictures here.   Unknown plugs on brake booster: There are at least two female plugs on the brake booster that aren't being used.  I think it might be a replacement/aftermarket, so maybe those are used for a different application, as there don't seem to be any unplugged harnesses and no indicator lights are on.   Little squeaks when turning: Sounds almost like a bushing around the bed of the truck.  I'll have to pay close attention as I get more familiar with the truck.   Clunk on acceleration: possibly the infamous drivetrain clunk.  My 2006 had it and I'm just not familiar enough with this truck yet to fully grasp what it is.   Anyway, my apologies for the vague and all over the place post.  This truck is new to me, and it's been four years since I drove my 2006.  With 200k miles, I know I'll need to learn this truck quickly to avoid having any major issues, despite being confident it's got much more life to it.  My 2006 had nearly 320k on it when I parked it (nearly 300k of which I put on the truck), and it was still drivable then, though I suspected the head gasket might have blown.  I'd hoped to have that truck back by now, but it's gone forever, as I detailed in my reintroduction thread.
