Wish I had done a bit more research before I bought the RL level kit - paid $505 to tire rack for SST kit and a few hundred to have it installed - had I known what I now know I would have  spent extra dollars for BDS lift.  So now I have to decide if I want to return the lift kit to RL and eat the cost and get BDS installed or go back to stock?   If the truck was not leased, I wouldn't even think twice and would go BDS, but with 26 months left on lease, not sure if I want to do all that versus just going back to stock? 

 

Buyer beware when you mod :)! 

its whatever your comfortable with and how you use the truck....

Sorry to bring this up again. So I noticed Rough Country removed the 2 inch lower spacer again for the 2019 - 2020 Silverado. . Today when I got home from work was going to wash the truck. I decided to jack the front of the truck up. Wheels where straight all the way off the ground. The boot does hit the the top of the bolt and small portion of the shock when spinning the tires. Lowered the truck turned the wheel all the way to the drivers side. Started jacking the front up. I was about 3 inches up with the jack it made contact with the boot even  more. Tire not even off the ground yet. 3 inches!! That's not good. That's like dropping off a 4 inch curb wheels locked. Just not comfortable with this set up. That's why they don't sell them anymore. So I'm looking at the Eibach strut. Or the rough country 2 inch strut replacement. In stead of using any spacers. Have to get a alignment again. Sucks. Xsquid   P S . Order the rough country leveling struts

I am most likely going to head out to Corona and see Eibach this week....my plan is to run their kit and buy TB CV axles and probably pick up a UCA at some point....2.75 in front and 1 in rear....see if Eibach will install everything.... would like a hair more but whateves am gonna get a 2500HD in few years so it will be fine....was gonna do GM kit but just too much rake and don't want a spacer

 

think eibach fronts are lil cheaper than RC.....$140 ea and less if you get em from dist maybe, just FYI

This is such a great thread. I’ve read through it multiple times, these trucks just look so good. 

Based on what you guys are doing I shouldn’t be nervous, but I am. I want to go Icon/Fox 2.5 coil overs set at lowest 1.5” lift setting and no block in the rear. Then add KO2’s in 275/65R20 on the stock oem wheels. The shop suggested 285/60R20 to avoid any rub but I want the taller tire that fills the wheel well more, and don’t want “too” wide.

 

I have stock 275/60R20 Dueler ATs now. They just seem very very close to the mud flaps when turned. I don’t want to remove or trim. Will 1.5” lift do for my needs or will I need to go 2” up front? This is LT Z71 stock

 

Thoughts?

So your trucks not leveled at all. Yes the 2 inch level will you should fit the 275-65-20 no problem. I plan on that the same size but a copper tire when the time comes. 2 inch level with a 1.0 or 1.5 block in the rear is a nice set up. Beware of the lower strut spacers as if you plan on doing any off roading. Even the video from ready lift address the problem as by saying. (If you never go to full drop you will never have a problem.) Never say never. Wheel turn full. 3 inch's up with jack the boot starts to make contact. My truck anyway.

How would you feel about that tire on a 1.5” level up front and no block in the rear

Tire sizing . 275-60-20 . Stock tire on 2019 Silverado with 20 inch rim.  275 * .03937 = 10.82675 tire width. Answer 10.82675 - 60% = 6.496. Answer 6.496 * 2= 12.992. Answer 12.992 + 20 inch Rim = 32.992 tire dia. 33 inch's . Using this formula you can figure any metric tire size. 275-65-20 = 34.074 tire dia. Should fit no problem with a 1.5 level or 2.0 level. It the same width just 1.0 taller. Or 1./2 on each side.  Use any leveling kit in a 2 wheel drive truck no problem. Use caution in 4 wheel drive going off roading.  Tire formula will get you very close. Tire manufactures very some with ply,  road tie ect. Best to check manufactures web sight for exact dimensions.

275/65/r20 will fit without any rubbing with a 2 inch level. Regardless of which level. The demo I drove while my dealer did my bed liner had the GM 2 inch level installed on a RST model with 275/65/r20 BFG all terrains. Plenty of clearance. 35x11.50s would clear in my opinion

For the 2” lift spacers what is the actual dimension of the the spacer? Not the lift, the actual spacer?

Changed out the Rough Country 2 inch bottom mount level kit for the Motofab 2.5 inch top mount level kit.

Already had the Rear spacer blocks from my 2014 Sierra installed.

Truck look good Vmax. Will be removing my Motofab 1.5 lower spacer. RC 2inch leveling struts should be here this week. I install my own lowers. When removing the complete strut do you need the remove the axle nut and push the spline through the hub in order to gain enough clearence to lower the lower control are enough without damage to the axle's to remove the complete strut assemble?

      This doesn't look like a GM truck. Not needed on a HD truck

      It varies a ton around me. Some places are still at $5.00 or higher and others are way down into the $4's.   Offroad diesel was $4.02 at the one station I passed today.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By Hdwrguy · Posted

      So after reading the reveal from Chevrolet, I kept asking myself...why did the trim levels change?   Here are the official ones:   Work Truck (WT): The quintessential fleet truck, built with durable, easy-to-clean interiors for commercial or utilitarian use. Custom: A stylish, road-oriented trim that adds a more refined appearance, standard dual exhaust, and modern exterior styling. Custom Trail Boss: An entry-level off-roader featuring a 2-inch factory suspension lift and 34-inch mud-terrain tires on a budget. Silverado: Serving as the new base consumer truck (replacing the previous LT trim), it comes standard with the Z71 off-road package when equipped with 4WD. Trail Boss: Steps up the off-road hardware with the 2-inch lift, 34-inch tires, monotube shocks, an exclusive off-road hood, and more premium interior options. ZR2: The flagship off-roader. It boasts 35-inch mud-terrain tires, Multimatic DSSV dampers, front and rear electronic lockers, forged carbon-fiber interior accents, and an available hardcore Bison Edition (co-developed with AEV). High Country: The pinnacle of luxury. It replaces bright chrome with modern satin chrome, 22-inch wheels, premium leather, real wood interior trim, a panoramic sunroof, and an exclusive front-passenger touchscreen. As others have stated, why would you want a Silverado - 'Silverado' - wth?? LT needs to remain!!!   Also, there will no longer be a dedicated Z71 model.  All 4x4 trucks will have the Z71 package. Carplay is also something that cannot be removed.  Hopefully it will remain.     I am excited about the 5.7L V8 (350 C.I.D.)  Old school Chevy power.  My only concern is whatever version of AFM/DFM cylinder deactivation.  Too bad that isn't an option a buyer can choose to have or not.   I will definitely be stopping by my local dealership when these trucks start showing up.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      The not as clean as one would assume theme with the new engine oil, that reminds me of comments over the years with mechanics not always being so on board with filling an oil filter, not from the center anyway due to that typically being the clean side of the filter, danger of some contaminant falling into the filter if not careful but the realization now that the oil may not be as pure as one had assumed it would surely be. Yes it would be possible to fill from the small holes but that means messing with something to prop open the anti drain back valve if the filter is so equipped and not damage that valve in the process. Me, I have hardly ever prefilled an engine oil filter however I have prefilled diesel fuel filters with a filter on a fuel bulk tank and for anyone that has messed with diesel engines with filters and units that have a limited or no way of priming them, putting on a dry filter is a bad day to say the least with those crappy systems. But anyway back to not so clean engine oil, indeed perhaps its not so bad after all that I have not made a practice of prefilling oil filters.    As Grumpy Bear commented on keeping things clean, that I really have to wonder what the typical practice is at a dealer or any other shop that changes engine oil, do they make sure to wipe or wash off the oil plug and certainly if it fell into some gunk or onto a dirty floor, or that they wiped the filter mounting flange and didn't go and use some dirty rag and end up adding dirt to the inside of the head of the filter mount. Or be careless in how they stored or handled the new filter and if they were bumping into items under the vehicle with the filter opening facing up and having dirt drop right into the filter and if so right into the threaded center that is on the clean side. The top side, did they clean away the built up gunk that may be around the filler before removing the cap or to be really careful at that point that something right close to the filler hole that was hidden under the caps flange won't fall into the engine. Or did they clean the funnel or was that just laying there covered in oil from the oil change before and dust kicked up from sweeping the floor stuck to the oil and now that will go running into the next persons engine due to just not cleaning the funnel as "they won't know anyway" attitude as that young guy is more worried about taking a break so he can go outside and smoke a joint. Just random points that came to mind when I think about what some hired personnel may do that the shop foreman has no idea of or perhaps the whole attitude of some shops may be "eh ... who cares, they will never know the difference anyway".
