I thought about it and decided to spend the money on beer instead. Stock is alright with me.

Top is leveled with RC 2.5"with toyo MTs, bottom is stock.   If you take care of your vehicle, you will be fine. Who cares if you need to replace ball joints in 100k miles, that's part if maintenan

As far as I'm concerned, the top pic is what an AT should look like from the factory.

When installing the rancho quick lifts will I need a spring compressor?

Nope. They replace the entire assembly. Easy peasy.

How do you like those Firestone MTs? I am getting my truck lifted in August and found a good deal on those same size as yours.

 

 

I have a 3.5" level and I'm running a 35x12.5x20 destination m/t on f9355ec2b8d8ba3051e2305cdd11478d.jpg4f38cd4d21a363e28fa56abe9064d520.jpga stock yukon rim

They're good. Pretty smooth once you get rolling. They do hum...actually wish they were a little louder. I like the hum

Thank you. I am really looking forward to getting them installed on my truck. I know they have a super aggressive look to them and can only hope they perform as good as they look.

hey guys, thinking about installing a levelling kit on my 2014 all terrain, right now i have stock 20' wheels and tires. i can't decide between a bds 2'' or a RC 2.5'' I've heard many mixed reviews and was hoping you guys would fill me on on some of the pros and cons and maybe post your photos.

 

thanks

 

When I purchased my truck I was strongly considering a leveling kit but the desire to do so is quickly fading. The stock look is really growing on me and I'm leaning more towards leaving it like it is.

I don't do any off road in really. So I have to idea how they perform as far as mud. My friend has them and he said they suck in the snow. In the winter I run bridgestone dueler at revos which are incredible. ....if only they made them bigger

I have the Rough Country 2.5" level/lift kit on my 14 Crew cab. I am also running 33" tires and drove to Hammond IN (over 400 miles) this week and back and averaged over 19 miles per gallon...

For my size of tires I would have most likely been happy with the 2" level kit...but I am not paying to go backwards so.....

Bonus: If you didn't correct your speedometer, you're actually getting like 19.65 mpg if you see an indicated 19.0 mpg with 33" tires vs the stock 31.9" tires.

My smile is getting bigger now... I haven't change anything in the computer so 19.65 or maybe closer to 20 MPG since my mileage from that tank was actually 19.2... :D

If you had 31" tires before, your speedometer will be off 6.4% and so will your MPG so.... 20.4mpg on a 19.2 display.

 

Impressive at 19.2 on a 33... 20+ is damn near amazing. I wish I could drive like an adult.

      Breaking News!    I'm going to tell you that I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I told  you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I'm about to tell you on the other side of the break.  Then we're going to break. Then I'm not going to tell you what I told you I was going to tell you.  But I'll tell you something else that is Breaking News just coming to the desk that everyone reported on yesterday.  Then I'll tease a human interest telling I'll get to on the other side of a larger break. Then I'll tell you one item in 20 seconds and go back to an even longer break. Longest break of the night.  Then I'll tell you a fluff piece that takes 10 seconds and sign off into a three minute break while you wait for the next 30 minutes of rinse and repeat on the local news.    In al you'll get about 12 minutes of something, 5 minutes of which is worth hearing in a 30 minute show and 18 minutes of advertising at a sound level twice as loud as the news.    Of course you can switch to cable news and hear 12 different people tell the same four stories in much the same format as the Network News for 20 hours of which the majority will be advertising.  And four hours of late night Specials about things you wonder why you stayed up to listen to. Half of which will be repeats.....   OR you can go for a drive

      Audio Dampening and quiet

      By Afennell19 · Posted

      Did you ever figure this out? My 2022 Trail Boss, and now my 2026 LT did this from time to time.  I believe it was more connected to Android Auto and my phone being the cause. Maybe try going for a drive, sans cell phone.... and see if it happens?

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By Afennell19 · Posted

      I have a 2026 Silverado LT, the non bose as well.  Upgrading the door speakers is pretty straightforward. You could honestly go to walmart, or Auto Zone/ O Reilly and get a set of 6x9s for the front, and 6.5s for the rear. You do also have to get some adapters for each, but they are like $10 a pair on Amazon. Then some plug and play harnesses that are about $10 a pair on Amazon as well.  And I would also suggest a 10 pack of the Amazon Basics sound deadening. Slap that all around the speakers and on the open metal of the inside of the door. And your golden.   I am currently doing this with my Silverado. Although I am having a bit of trouble because I am snooby I guess and bought some Alpine S2 S69c's which are 2 way components and I am having to wire from the door up to the dash....  Having never installed speakers before, its taking me just a bit to get everything correct. But if you dont buy expensive component speakers, and just some $40-$50 door speakers. You will DRASTICALLY improve the sound over these stock paper cone junk speakers. I thought my Silverado had an issue with the radio/ sound for a while.  Come to find out.  The stock speakers are just THAT SH*TTY   I cannot wait to have some decent sound in the truck   What did you end up doing?

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By newdude · Posted

      Its all automatic based on yaw sensor data.  If enough incline is detected, it engages.   My recommendation though would be to disengage it before driving off and not let it auto disengage by touching the gas pedal.  The HD trucks use the same setup as prior years, the drum in hat park brake.  But now with an electric actuator.  If you drive off repeatedly over time, it can torque the park brake shoes and can also prematurely wear them out.           Electric console shift will set the park brake on flat ground too.  Pretty sure they've got it programmed to activate every time.
