What bed rack is that? I'm looking into one for mine.

Here's my 2015 Sierra All-Terrain and list of mods:
2.5" RC Level + RC Rear Blocks
295/55r20 Toyo AT2 Xtreme Tires
BulletProof Black Offset Flaps
Undercover Flex Tonneau
3m'd Front
35% Front Tint
MAXpider 3D Floor Liners
Muffler Delete

Eventually like to get rid of the chrome on the sides and debadge. I'll probably pull off the running boards as well.

I know this is a "Post YOUR Truck" thread, but one of the perks of working for the dealer on the side is that I get to drive some pretty cool trucks occasionally.
Here's a couple from yesterday:

15' Denali 6.2, 6" Lift, 35's on 20's.

14' All Terrain, 10" Lift on 37's on 22's.

How do you like your AT with the rc rear blocks? I've been going back and forth on whether to leave the stocks in or replace with the kit.

How do you like your AT with the rc rear blocks? I've been going back and forth on whether to leave the stocks in or replace with the kit.

That picture is literally 5mins after I had the rear blocks put in. Initially I just went with the 2.5" up front and left the rear stock. It was almost dead level on a measuring tape, 39.75" up front and 40" out back. Unless you were looking at it from the rear it looked "nose high" to me and I was worried it would have too much sag in the back when I hooked up to my travel trailer.

 

Factory blocks are 1.25" and the RC are 1.75" tapered to 2".

Now I'm sitting about 39.75/40.5 which will work better for towing and from the side it doesn't hardly look any different but got rid of the "Cali lean".

 

Stock Blocks:

Alright cool thanks for the info. I'm getting the same kit installed tomorrow and I've seen a lot of back and forth between stick blocks and rc blocks. Thanks again! [emoji106]

Nice looking truck, I've always liked a black GMC/chevy with dark tint like that. Too bad TX doesn't allow it for us. We can go dark as we want in back but front windows have to be like 30% or less I think.

25% in Texas for front windows and it can be any color except red, blue or amber.

Here it is. Last post messed me up.

 

I think it looks good man. If you are iffy on them I would try and paint them all black. I think they would look even better.

    • if you want a short turning radius get a short bed Colorado!
    • that is pretty awesome MPG there!  I think so far one observation is these trucks do way better on MPG under 65mph vs 70+ and they really suffer at 75+   I noticed on the stretches into NE on 76 and 80 which is posted 75MPH and I was doing 82 I was getting more like 13.    
    • No ETA is available for that engine at the moment in the GM system.   I would start at the dealer.  Try and talk to the parts manager or service manager and see if they can start a CX Connect case and get an ETA from GM on when engines may be available.  If they just check Parts Workbench and say "no eta", they aren't trying hard enough.  They need to do a CX Connect and chat with DPAC to find the ETA.      
    • I would have to read back to get a better picture in my mind of some of the other comments and what they were using for a driving scenario they based the fuel mileage off of. That is why the fuel mileage conversation is extremely difficult to make fair comparisons from. If I was to be living in town and only driving around town, light to light and some longer stretches that doesn't have a light every block, and the usual stop at a grocery store and the bank and so on and so forth, my fuel mileage even during the summer time would be so bad with my truck I don't even want to know how bad it would be !. Then add in winter time and idling to warm it up to clear the windows and driving through snowy streets etc, large heavy trucks with gas engines have NEVER been worth crap for fuel mileage and why some little pot licker of a car with wheelbarrow tires and a 1300 cc four cylinder non turbo engine was the ticket to using a mere fraction of the fuel over a full size pickup.    By the way my truck has the 34" tires as its a HC but not the BFG KO3 tires ( that was an option for my truck but the sales guy couldn't figure out what the tires actually were so that never got on the order until it was too late to change the truck order ). So what fuel mileage your getting actually sounds good for "town driving" and with my truck when I go to town the fuel mileage keeps increasing as I get closer to town because it takes quite a while to get the driveline oils warmed up ( and why it always shows better fuel mileage on the return trip from town because its already warmed up ) but once I am in town that fuel mileage average just keeps dropping the more I mess around town and then has to recover back to something reasonable again by the time I get home for an over all average.    I'd be curious what your sticker says for the factory weight of your truck, mine is close around that 7700 lb due to the options it has. But anyway the long and short is, vehicle weight, higher rolling resistance heavy tires and a hefty driveline and a relatively large gas engine make for crap fuel mileage in stop and go scenarios, all one can do is drive it easy off the line at each stop and as my dad had said over the years, drive like a raw egg is under your foot and that's the best one can do. Years back with a carbed engine and if the carb was getting a bit out of tune etc as would the ignition system, the fuel mileage on pickups with larger engines was just awful compared to what your getting. We pay the fuel price penalty for driving HD trucks over some little vehicle, that is the reality.
