2.5 RC level with 285/65/18 Toyo Open Country AT2's.

That looks really good! Did you do something different to raise the rear of your truck? It looks taller in the back than most with the RC 2.5" lift.

Thanks man. It has the 2 inch blocks in the rear also...I should have added that.

Stock 22 SEY Wheels on 285/45/22 Nitto Terra Grappler G2. Quiet A/T tire that weighs about 30 pounds less per tire than the Trail Grappler (which I wanted). Since my truck has a 3:08 rear differential figured I should stick with the Terra Grapplers so I won't rob to much power from the truck. Going with the Nitto also significantly reduced the vibrations I was feeling above 75 mph.

 

 

Got any overall pictures of your truck?

First post...log time lurker. Here's the '15. 2.25" quick lift on 285/65r20 KO2s. Sorry for the photo quality. I'll get more later as she's going in for a 6.5" zone, amp steps, linex, tint and some other odds and ends this Wednesday.

 

Is anyone running a 4+" lift on skinny tires? I have 1k miles on these KO2s and it'll be a PITA to sell them for new tires and rims if it looks too funky.

Are these a - 24 offset and which lift kit did you go with. I also want 20x10's on either 295 or 305 but I ordered the 20x9 and 295's with a rough country 4 3/4 combo lift kit. Seems like a big difference between a +18 & - 24 offset. Haven't installed anything yet. Thanks for your reply!

What kind of grill inserts do you have

Posted

I finally selected a new wheel and tire combo after more than a year of reading and studying this forum. There is a ton of valuable info here along with a lot of nice set-ups. Going in, I knew I wanted to go to a smaller wheel with more tire as I was looking for a more off-road look. The OEM 20” wheels are nice, no question but in order to get a decent sized tire on them you really need to go with more lift. I did not want to go more than the 2.5” kit.

 

Here are the specs:

 

Truck is a 2014 Sierra with All Terrain Package. It’s sitting on a 2.5” Rough Country Lift/ Level kit.

 

Tires: BFG KO2 LT285 / 70 / 17 (overall diameter is 32.7” and width is 11.5” on 8.5” wheel)

 

Wheels: Fuel Beast 17 x 9 with a -12mm offset

 

Other mods: Full HID conversion from Strictly HID’s (Headlights and fogs), Recon lighting: Big Rig ICE LED running lights + tail light bar. T-Rex Billet grill (black), and I started de-badging (tailgate center logo).

Looks great, love those wheels.

Hello everyone. I am new to the site although I frequent the site often. So much useful information. I have a 2014 Silverado Z71 LT. I just picked up a brand new set of 20 inch LTZ rims today and have a 2 inch RC lift on order. Here is the progress thus far.

Black and Chrome go well!

I hate to make this post because I'm sure it's been made before but I really don't want to read through the last 74 pages haha....I'm about to buy some XD Series Crank 20x9 chrome wheels and was just wondering where you guys think is the cheapest place to buy them is. Going to be getting new tires as well so didn't know if a certain place was better than the next on a package deal. Any advice would be appreciated.

    • Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.
    • The thinking is that starting out in a higher gear makes it easier to avoid applying excessive torque when pressing the gas pedal. In a modern 4wd truck with 4 low and a limited slip or locking rear end, I would use 4 low and try to crawl up the ramp. Sometimes if they are too slippery, you have to back up to let the boat have some bouyancy, and then accelerate briskly to get some momentum to help you pull the through the slippery parts. 
    • I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.     
    • Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.  
    • The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.
