RC 5in knuckle kit ?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Im gonna get a 5in knuckle kit.  I know it increases the tract width, but im planning on getting a positive offset rim to help keep the tire more under the fender.  My question is, can i get a plus 24 rim and not rub anything at full turn?  Pics of anyone that has this setup would be great.  Thanks

Hello, what size tires do you plan to run with? We put a 5” ruff country lift on my brothers 2015 1500 Silverado and he has 33x12.50x20, the rims are 20x12’s. He had rubbing issues at full lock and we did minor trimming to the back slash guard and removed the front valance, to correct rubbing. You need more lift, depending on your tire size.

Here is a photos right after we did the lift.

I have 3" ebay lift spindles, 3" total lift, 2" wider track on each side and kept stock suspension geometry and ride comfort

 

So far so good and the stance of my truck looks great

Depends on the wheel diameter

 

with the increased track, my stock 17"  steelies fit fine but to clear while tucking the wheels you will need a larger diameter

I plan on going 20x9 wheels with 305 55 20 tires.  Im just trying to figure out if i want black wheels or chrome.  Any ideas?  I have a stealth grey metallic crew cab sierra. 2014

It really depends on your preference. I and my brother have black rims, due to easy maintenance. If you don’t mind polishing and cleaning your rims on a regular basis. Nice color truck by the way. They have some website that allow you to choose rims and Place them on your truck, prior to purchasing them.

    • I do have the 8 speed.  Interestingly enough, after driving my truck for the past 2 days now, I have not had the clunking issue at all!  I am beginning to think it may have been suspension/leaf spring related, and somehow when the shop put my truck on the lift to do their initial inspection, it relieved some built up tension/pressure that was causing my problem.  I swear it felt I was a bull rider on a bucking bull the way the truck would almost rock back and forth slightly before the big thud/clunk when coming to a stop.  I am hoping I got lucky here and it's gone for good.
    • Bring it to discount tire. They do free rotations even if you didn’t buy your tires there. I didn’t believe it until I tried and they did. You can tip the employee if you would like 
    • Best part of this video is how it resets expectations. Wonderfully done piece. It also made clear a few points I've made from day one. Detergent oils DO NOT KEEP A MOTOR CLEAN at the recommended or longer change intervals. They just get dirty slower than a non-detergent oil and there isn't spits difference between them on this point if they carry the DEXOS license. Great thing about the license that gets missed is it assures CONFORMITY even it that means a low bar.    One thing he did not talk about that I paused on an magnified was the condition of the oil ring separator. Besides a stuck ring a plugged separator and land drain back is huge when it comes control. We see in short order improvement in control IF that is the problem.    Another item I took exception to and he did not make plain was the condition of the timing chest and under valve cover having something to do with indicating piston cleanliness. Schaeffer's Oil makes that same omission in their million mile Ford video. I'm guessing he has never torn down a Red Line HP, AMSOIL SS motor that has been on that diet from the get. What he showed in the video was a good deal of varnish. Something totally absent in Peppers 165K cover off look. I smiled because he did his at the same milage.    He also makes the mistake of assuming oil temperatures in the pan are the temperature all over the motor even though he makes note of the piston being the hottest part of the engine. that baffled me a bit.    I can tell you from personal experience and witnessing teardowns of family motors that even oils of the 1960's would keep them squeaky clean when OCI's were 1500 to 2000 miles without exception. At 3K and above you get what he experienced and the longer you leave it the quicker to gets to the junkyard.    I think his is missing a opportunity not tearing it down again when he's done killing it. Time would be his only cost. 
    • Very often the part number on the trim part is just for the vendor order/assembly plant and will not show up in the parts system.  They won't make a bunch of extra parts that were not ordered. Keep in mind, lots of these parts were made to be "just in time" parts meaning they were dedicated to a vehicles ordered and sequenced for assembly.       Also, trim parts will often say, paint to match.
