Thanks! I have not, just back and forth to work since installing and taking to the shop to verify my alignment. Have a couple finishing touches to get done over the weekend. They ride amazing though! A nice firm controlled ride that soaks up big bumps, driveway lips, and speed bumps like they are nothing. No more float and bounce like stock. I could literally drive over my driveway lip at 30mph with an open cup in the cup holder and not spill a thing. Crazy.

Looks like you cranked them to 2.5" or greater?

That SDHQ skid plate looks great. I really want one but I would still need to mount my front license plate to it and I'm not sure if it would look good like that.

That's a bummer with the front plate. This thing fit absolutely perfect, SDHQ did a great job with this. I'm with you though, not sure it would look right with a front plate.

 

 

Truck is BAD. I dig it! Really wishing i could go snag me some Kings for mine. Going for wheels first though

 

Thanks! No regrets, 100% would spend the money again to do it just like this. The Kings ride like their price tag, worth every penny so far and I haven't even worked them yet.

This is basically how the 3.0's came right out of the box. I ended up adding 1 full turn for CV axle to shock clearance (since the adjusters are on the bottom on the 3.0's) and the height turned out great. Instructions said something crazy like 2.5 or 3 turns = 1" ride height change so I didn't do much with my single turn.

This is my 2014 RCSB 2wd. Lowered in front with 2" BellTech Spindles, rear is 2" BellTech Shackles and the block removed, about 3" total.

 

20x8.5" Black Rhino Pondora wheels with 18mm offset. 275/55-20 GoodYear Eagles. Rubs a little bit in reverse, I expected it though. Kind of want to drop it just a little more to get rid of the rake but don't know how to other than removing the helper leaf spring.

 

First is a before shot of the day I picked it up used last year:

Second shot is as it sits today after the new wheels and removing the stripe kit, debadge, and tinting it.

2016 Silverado with 20x9 +18 Gear Alloy Big Block. 295/55/20 Toyo AT2 extreme. 2" RC Level. No Rub.

 

 

Love the truck! I have a 2017 just like it. I am wanting to do the same rim size offset and tire size. I like that your wheels are still tucked into the fender well. Your signature says you have a 1.5in body lift, was that done after these pictures? Did you have to do any trimming to clear that setup when you had just 2" RC? Any complaints with the setup and the 2" RC?

 

Thank you,

Thank you,

Thanks. No trimming needed with this set-up. My only complaint has been the drop in mileage due to the weight of the tires. I still get 16/18 mpg and I would definitely do it again.

 

Here's a pic with the added body lift.

I'm debating between a 285/45/22 tire/wheel combo. Or a 33x12.5x20 setup. Anyone running a factory replica 22" wheel? If so how are they quality wise?

Got bored today and hit the farm and CRP for a bit, to see how the RTs handle some Mississippi gumbo. This is coming from street tires so there is a noticeable difference in traction already offroad. In the buckshot heavy clay stuff, you gotta keep em spinning, which i figured as much. Though they do clean out quicker than i thought they would. Also to add for you guys going with 0 offset if you get in mud you're going to want to invest in fender flares with a tire that 11.5" wide or larger. I've got mud on top of my truck, in the bed of my truck, and of course all on the outside. On the CRP with a little more defined bottom i went all the way back on our place in 2wd. This is all at 35psi so driving range for me. If i had a pump i'd air down to 20 just to see the effects.

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By newdude · Posted

      Based on what I can tell, yes.   As for updating it, its a mixed bag.  Updates do fix a lot of issues, but occasionally can create some oddities.  They do more good than harm though overall.     Here's what the most current one does and a  V171 Improvements Important: Improvements will vary by model, build configuration, system, and sales region. Not all vehicles have all features. OnStar and Wi-Fi may not work after remote start CarPlay may not automatically reconnect Part of the Driver Attention messaging screen may be in English even though the language is set to something else XM may not work After a dead 12V the radio may set to Arabic at each startup Bluetooth contacts might not be able to sync with the vehicle During an OTA the 12V battery may drain Customer might see a screen telling them to return to the dealer After changing the Wi-Fi SSID or password a device may not disconnect If a device is connected on the 2.4Ghz band, nothing will connect to the 5Ghz one, which could show as slow Wi-Fi speeds Customers might have noticed Wi-Fi dropping in certain areas and reconnecting later Customer might see the top of the screen blinking during Android Auto Android Auto may not connect CarPlay audio might momentarily cut out The "Add Phone" button may be grayed out The radio may not start up   V167 Most Notable Improvements:   Outside Air Temperature is incorrect. -You may see a popup message for Engine Shift. (Corvette Only) After changing the exhaust sound they get a popup that "mode change not applied", even though it was. -When changing volume, the volume bar is for Traffic instead of Audio. -(Corvette Only) Improvements to the placement of buttons and text. -If the customer receives the message "Apple CarPlay Could not connect", the cursor might move in the opposite direction than expected when using the control knob. -Android Auto automatically starts playing their music, even though they have turned that off in settings. -Intermittently they have a red OnStar LED with no OnStar function and/or no audio. -The minimum length of the Wi-Fi password was increased to 12 characters. -The popup message "Driver Attention Check, check your mirrors or Super Cruise will shut down" may not have come up on the display when it should have. -Startup animation added for 20th anniversary of the V-Series on Cadillacs. -The Navigation app received location improvements when going under long underpasses. -In the Navigation app there are filters for charging points that the vehicle cannot use.   V164 Most Notable Improvements Most notable improvements contained in this release may include: Apps Intermittently, an “SD Card Removed” message will pop up in the Navigation app. While in the audio app, the radio may stop working. Trailer Tire Pressure sensors may not be learned in the Trailer app. Not being able to return to the home screen while in the Camera app. After an ignition cycle, the radio might go to a black screen or stop working if using Sirius XM. Spotify icon truncated on Audio app.   SXM When changing power modes with the ignition switch, the HVAC pop up might appear. During startup, the radio will show the brand splash screen then go blank. Receiving a confirmation pop-up when changing drive modes. A “Return to Dealer” message may appear on the radio screen. SuperCruise setting toggle may not work. System After an ignition cycle, the radio might go black or stop working if using Sirius XM (SXM). Settings When performing a factory reset, the radio may stop working. After performing a factory reset, the radio may stop working when trying to switch users. When trying to go into the Language section quickly after startup, the radio may stop working. Projection Wireless CarPlay cannot be connected after unpairing another wireless Android Auto device. When the Android Auto screen comes up to connect wirelessly, the screen may freeze if the Cancel button is pressed. Removed the Apple CarPlay Cannot Connect screen when a device fails to pair during the autoconnect process. CarPlay information may not show up in the audio app. Near Field Communications (NFC) chime may be heard when NFC does not work.

When downloading contacts, there is a progress bar and circles on the Recents page of the cluster. The temperature on the cluster and the display may be different. After receiving and ending a call on the secondary paired phone, the cluster may get stuck on the phone menu. Bluetooth Intermittent Bluetooth connection loss.

      Front End Rattle

      By AndrewF · Posted

      Looking for help troubleshooting a metallic like front end rattle. Figured I’d see if anyone had thoughts before I schedule an appointment with the dealer.   The rattle is fairly loud and occurs primarily when the front driver side wheel hits a bump, even fairly minor road seams. Sometimes does it when the passenger hits a bump but I don’t believe when the rear hits. Rattle still occurs when foot is pressing brake peddle so I think that rules out the caliper rattle I’ve read about. I’ve also checked the running boards and they are tight.   Most noticeable at slow speeds.    Any insight is appreciated.

      What did you do to your "other" car (aka musclecar) today

      By KARNUT · Posted

      We try to make cruise the coast. It’s where our favorite casino is. I only want to spectate. Never took a car. Always had one to take. I belonged to a club once. Even when I used to drag raced. It was during test and tune. Probably because I’m not a night owl, party person.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Good looking Olds, and TRX!   I haven't been into car shows either. I'm probably not a convert but I did push myself this year to attend a few select events to challenge some assumptions and try to experience car-based social clubs in a different way. I joined up with the local Hagerty group for some cars/coffee events, group drives. A month ago I showed my '94 Camaro I rescued last fall at Radwood. Had a good time, but, there was some sitting around with the car and that's the part of shows I don't enjoy as much. I prefer to be a spectator, walk the show, grab a burger, go home.   Radwood was the only era-limited event, but where it had strict model year limitations, it made it up in variety. Having Jason Camissa there was also a hoot.   Where I see old 50's car shows, doo-wop and winga dinga music stuff fading out, same with "only" vintage muscle clubs, it seems to be the activity-based clubs/events which are gaining strong popularity. Places where all cars and interests come together.
