I've read this entire thread, lots of great info. I have a 2016 Sierra all terrain that I wanted to do a readylift 2.25 level or rough country 2.5 level and have a couple questions.

 

1. Rough country says the 2.5 kit won't work with some 2016s with STAMPED steel upper control arms. My control arms are steel but I don't know how to tell if they are stamped, I heard there was some designation marked somewhere on them but I haven't seen it.

 

2. I want to run 295/55r20 on either fuel Mavericks at +14 or xd misfits at 0, I am leaning towards the misfits but I keep hearing mixed opinions if they will rub or not. Is there going to be that big of a difference between clearing with no issues or rubbing if I go with 0 offset over +14? I really don't want to do any trimming or cutting on a new truck but I am worried 285/55r20 will look too small as they are barely any bigger than my stock tires.

Is there anyone running

33x12.50R22LT or

LT285/55R22

Nitto Trail Grapplers or Toyo Open Country without a level on the front. Curious to see if 22's would fit or if I would need to level the front? Plan on running on replicas too.

Anyone?

1. I don't know

 

2. I have the RC 2.5" level and 20x9 0 offset rims with 295 55 R20 tires. The only rub I get is on the driver side in reverse on my mud flap. If the mud flap wasn't there it would clear. Having said that, you'll be fine at 0 offset, and at +14 offset you should have even more clearance. As far as I know, negative offset is where you run into rubbing problems, so going up in offset should give you more room.

Should be fine. If anything it will just be the liner that needs tying back/cutting. It's just fabric not metal or anything.

I had my last one done with large tires and a level and in turn made towing a trailer more difficult, which is the only reason why not on this one.c60ec58596ce513075d0ce87f70cb6ac.jpg

What offset are those Beasts? Looks like perfect setup for stock suspension.

Gotcha. I'm trying to decide between that wheel in +1 and +20 offset. I've seen some other that's stated they had the +1 model and looked great like yours.

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
