Hey guys, new to the forum, but have read a lot. Got a 2014 Silverado and getting ready to install a RC 2.5" level kit. Right now it has the stock alum 18" wheels, considering XD strike 20x9 with a +18 offset and 285/60/20 tires, but don't want them outside the fenders and no trimming or rubbing. Do any of you all have any experience with this setup? Any other suggestions? Thanks

I'm thinking the hostage in Anthracite would look good on the iridium

 

 

I think so as well, though i just would rather have this design. Unfortunately method doesn't have an anthracite coating yet. Though their matte black looks grey depending on the lighting. I'll think i'll be fine with black though might have them powder coated anthracite. I feel like anthracite or a darker shaded silver that doesn't have such a metallic sheen to it like the stock chrome wheels goes well with Iridium.

Were you selling some 22" cky wheels a few weeks ago on DFW Craigslist? I saw your truck posted in one of the images. Really thought about buying them too.

Yeah, I think you're right. That should look sick on Iridium.

17s on 35s. 4.5" spindle lift IIRC. I'll have to dig up the link to the specs on that truck.

Starting to think these rims will match Iridium Metallic. Depending on what kind of light your in, they look anywhere from black to sterling gray/anthracite.

Thanks for reply. Those Duratracs look good. I may consider those.

 

Another question guys. I'd appreciate any input. There's a guy on GMFS running 295/70r17 on a 2014 with a 2" level but he didn't state whether he had any rubbing issues. If I were to run a 295/70r17 tire on a 17x8.5, 0mm wheel, does anyone know if I'd have rubbing issues?

 

I believe those wheels would stick out just about 1" more than my stock 18x8.5 z71 wheels with +24mm offset (or am I wrong?).

I'm running 17x8.5 +15 offset american outlaw rims and 295 70 17 nitto trail grapplers. Rc 2.5 level kit with the rear blocks that came in the kit. No rubbing. Flush with the fender.

Huge help, thanks a lot. Have a call into my dealer to see if this can be done. Makes the difference between being maxing out at a 305/50/20 and getting to put on the 295/55R20's that I want.

 

I've missed it if you posted anywhere. Were you able to make this work?

2.5 Rough Country kit with rear blocks. Stock AT wheels with Toyo Open Country M/T 275/65/20=34.5x11. Slight rub on front wall but no trimming required IMO.

Hey I noticed your post and I am wanting to put the 275 65 20 toyo mts on my stock ltz rims with the same leveling kit u got?

 

How has it worked out for you. I love the look of your truck

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sad thing is that this doesn't have to be the case. LSPI can be solved without a reduction in TBN. Swap Ca for Mg.  Cats are not a issue if the OEM can get a ring and valve guide seal even at SN levels of SAPS. Dizzy is purring like a kitten with a bowl of warm milk. 200K of Full SAPS oil and zero detonation issues and nice a clean inside and out. This shouldn't be an issue. It isn't 1920.    Tell ya what AMSOIL SS is excellent at, internal cleanliness. The new formula is even a step up from their already outstanding cleanliness levels. Can't say the OEM offering is quite that clean. There marketing suggest the SS is cleaner.     That is the only defense with at shelf oil. Nothing wrong with them if you ignore the marketing and OEM 'recommended' OCI and use a thimble full of common sense. 😉 You go sir.

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By StingerZ16 · Posted

      I started with a folding cover by BAK PAC on my 2500. It went bad after close to 5 years. Bent and vinyl coming loose. Contacted BAK and they gave me a very good discount on a Revolver. Had it a number of years. Mostly outdoor storage. Some garage storage. Vinyl started to come loose. Still under warranty so they replaced to cover. Sold the 2500, bought the 1500 and got another revolver for it. Had it a couple years now and no issues. I store it indoors. Got a bit of discount when buying it as well. If you are seeing problems, contact BAK or real truck and let them know. Customer service was pretty good. But I think they changed their warranty.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I agree, there is no one answer fits all as every rig is different, one may be pulling some little aluminum fishing boat while another is towing a monstrosity that weighs a lot and hopefully the owner if the rig has some prior experience to know what drive mode they should choose.    It also struck me and this is from watching a few of those boat ramp escapades videos in the past, Ford being one of the vehicles that has the auto front axle hubs and sure enough its found out that one hub has crapped out and won't engage and may not have manual hubs to even select on both sides so they are on the boat ramp stuck with no four wheel drive and spinning .... they flat out need a tow to get up the ramp and deal with the vehicles new found issues. That can happen to all brands of pickup, finding out either four wheel drive or 4 low isn't working right at the time its needed it to work as some electronic crap has failed.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its possible you never had the joy of the crappy boat launches we tend to have around here or really some of them are just grades down to the river if its a river scenario and the conditions change all the time with the river levels and silt deposits. Some of the lakes we went to years ago, there was no such thing as a cement pad that went down into the water that the trailer stayed on, it was gravel maybe up to the water line and then duck crap much beyond that so sinking the boat tires into mud. Of course some of the more established lakes had a cement bar type boat ramp but sometimes it was covered in green slime closer and certainly within the water and a two wheel drive had all sorts of fun if one had to touch that slime with the rear tires.    A neighbor of mine had made a comment years back with his chev truck that was probably about the same year as yours but a half ton extended cab 4x4 and he a a fiberglass boat with an inboard so it wasn't a feather weight and he had gone out to one of the large popular lakes in the area and don't ask me how this happened but he was in two wheel drive as he figured he didn't require four wheel drive for that boat ramp and somehow upon pulling the boat out he twisted one of his drive axles. I suspect it must have spun and then grabbed on the cement ramp and shocked it to the degree of twisting it. He would have had the standard 8.5 or whatever it was axle housing as the 9.5 ring gear like my truck has also has larger drive axles as far as I know. Anyway he was feeling a vibration driving home and had it checked out and a shop found that the tire/hub was wobbling because of the axle had twisted so in went a new drive axle. After that bad experience he said he made sure to put it into four wheel drive to lower the stress on the rear axle. Of course that is where an HD truck can handle a lot more stress and no doubt these newer half tons with their larger ring gears probably have larger drive axles as well to match vs back in the day.

      Desirable - as in does someone WANT one, aspire to have one. Could reasonably buy any car they want and CHOOSE these instead.    I didn't watch the video, why did they win?
