Awesome review and answers IceMan. Thank you.

Too funny about the height difference before and after. VERY odd. [emoji848]

Still torn between Nitto TG, RG or WildPeaks. I’ll do some more price checking tomorrow.

Lastly, you chose the BDS level over others; such as the famous Rough Country. Why and what did it run you?

No problem at all! Glad to pass along info whenever I can.

To answer your last question; the short of I️t is peace of mind....

BDS offers a warranty that in my opinion isn’t beat or even matched by any other company in the industry. For the originally purchaser, BDS offers a lifetime warranty on their parts and a matched(supplemental) power train warranty for 5yrs/60,000 miles for the trucks factory parts. In other words if you break something on your truck and GM says I️t broke because the BDS kit was installed, even if you know they’re lying through their teeth; BDS will step in and cover the cost.

Coming from the modified Subaru scene I can tell you all about how the Magnuson Moss Act SHOULD work and how I️t typically DOES work...... so having an after company that will back factory parts is a huge value added for me.

The level kit was $138 in parts and with install and alignment it was $396. A little steep in my opinion for a level kit but part of the way they get you is the warranty is only good with authorized professional install. Would have loved to have done the install myself and saved the coin but such is life...

The break down was:
$138 parts
$155 install
$70 alignment
$33 NYS sales tax

Has any one tired RUFFINO RENEGADE II? 3f7f0330046039694122f2f4db072d47.jpg

I'm thinking about moving down rim size, and the tire place I go to is having a sale on rims and tires this rim being one of them.

Great looking truck. Does this set-up rub or require any trimming of the wheel well liner? I plan to drop down to 17 inch method wheels and wrap them with 285/70 Ridge Grapplers. And I’m leaning toward a 1.5 inch ready-lift front level. How much room do you have with the 2 inch level?

I mean the rims look straight. I have the same tires on my truck except 305/55/20. Had them for probably 800 miles now. They seem good to me. I ordered mine through custom offsets

Lots of guys at work have them, I just want them to make my insurance go down a little with the snow rating. So for those tires and rims it's $1350 no tpms best deal I could find.

2" level gave me plenty of room. No rubbing at any point, forward or reverse.

Thanks for the reply. Hopefully I can stay clear with the 1.5 inch level.

Just purchased this truck. Currently on 265/65/18 Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac. I was thinking also of downsizing to 17, to look a bit more aggressive with 285/70 with maybe BFG TA KO2. leveling 1.5 or 2. Definitely don't want any rubbing or trimming. What you guys think?

Did you mean  285/65r18 as those look bigger than 265/65?   And Duratracs are much more aggressive than KO2s.

285/65r18 and 285/70r17 aren't big enough size difference to be worth buying new 17" rims...both are going to fit fine with a 1.5 or 2" level.

      Replacing 2.7L on 2021 Silverado with 2023 2.7L

      I’m definitely interested to hear the end result here.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.
