I saved my money and bought new tires and a RC lift kit in stages. Did not want to charge. RC 2.5 lift and Nitto Terra Grapplers G2 275/60R20 on stock wheels. Installed the kit myself with a couple hiccups but nothing that I couldn't handle. Word of advice, deep sockets in SAE and metric will save your butt a lot of time. I really enjoyed doing it myself and saved about $200+. No rubbing or trimming to be had. The road noise is almost nil. The Nittos ride nice. Enjoy.

Looks great! I installed my RC kit myself too. It was more involved than I thought, but it sure feels good doing it yourself. Nice truck!

Yes. It was six days ago. I installed it a week before and I finally got around to taking pics and posting them. He, isn't Russian. My next thing to save for are the towing mirrors. Upgrade.

Looks great! I am pondering adding a leveling kit for my Z71 too. Getting ready to upgrade my tires with some Toyo Open Country at2. My factory Bridgestone tires are atrocious in the rain. No traction at all

Thank you for the compliments. My Goodyears were getting to worrisome when the rain was heavy or just steady for that matter. I mentioned that to the Misses and she freaked out. I drive a lot in my job. She said get going on your tires project. Ok, if I have too.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By JimCost2014 · Posted

      If what you are doing works, keep doing it:   4LO (Four-Wheel Drive Low) should only be used in extreme low-speed, high-torque situations such as deep mud, heavy snow, steep rock crawling, or extreme inclines/declines, and you must follow the correct engagement procedure to avoid drivetrain damage. Intended Use Cases Deep mud or snow where traction is extremely poor and you need maximum torque to get unstuck Trucks Only+1. Rock crawling on steep, uneven terrain forum.fullsizechevy.com+1. Extreme inclines or declines where you need to control speed and maintain traction solutionsphere.blog. Heavy towing in low-traction conditions (e.g., deep sand, ice) carclubsusa.com.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By rdonarski · Posted

      Hi,   I work a steep boat landing that has patchy blacktop going down the hill and soft sand/gravel at the bottom. Due to low water levels, it's not always possible reach the blacktop. I've had to help several people get out this year already and with fall coming, I'm anticipating more. I always use 4L. There was a gentleman there today with a 2500 HD (actually 2 - him and his son both have them) and they were trying to get his son's wake boat out. This gentleman swears that you should use 4H in the soft gravel. Says he was a farmer and you always use higher gear when stuck. I was wonder what your thoughts on this are? If I'm wrong, it would be good to find out before things get busy.

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By Bill Lemmond · Posted

      Looking for feedback from users of roll up aluminum slat bed covers who have had it for more than 3 years. I prefer the aluminum slat style over supported vinyl covers due to security and the capacity to support a light load. The slight loss of bed opening when rolled up is not an issue. Presently have BAK Revolver the "industrial grade vinyl overlay" on mine is shrinking & coming loose at the rear and on both sides in addition to cracking at some of the folding joints. Truck lives outdoors in NC latitude. Can't justify the steep price to replace it with another one if that's the expected lifespan. Do you have a better alternative?

      BAK Revolver bed cover

      By Bill Lemmond · Posted

      Thanks, your last sentence is the root of my problem, outdoors truck and southern latitude = UV overload. Looking at replacing with Rough Country powder coated aluminum slat roll up model.

      Tire fitment

      By JakeD · Posted

      I’m looking at putting a lift in my 2024 gmc sierra 1500 elevation trim, has anyone had any luck with fitting a bigger tire under the rear for a spare?? Was gonna go with a 4 inch zone lift Also what wheel and tire size setup are you all running? Wondering if I can get away with keeping around the stock size a 33 inch, and just get some new wheels to have enough back spacing then I can just keep my original spare tire I have under the truck now.
