Plasti dip or wheel skins?
Alex Hardy replied to 99silveradoz71's topic in 2014 - 2019 Silverado & Sierra
I ended up dipping mine a couple years ago. It's been through two Maine winters and two construction seasons on job sites, still holding on great. I can't remember how many coats I did but i believe it was 4 or 5. I changed out my tires last summer and was concerned about the dip being peeled off. When I took it in I didn't say anything about protecting the dip because I was curious what would happen. (and if it got messed up its VERY easy to do again) To my surprise the dip didn't get messed up at all, I don't know what they used for protection, I just know it held up and looks great. -
First Truck Tire Purchase - Advice Please
Alex Hardy replied to papageoff's topic in Wheels, Tires, & TPMS
275/70r18 out of the tires you mentioned, bfg ko2 -
I charge my laptop and all of my surveying equipment with mine. I love it and find it extremely useful as all my old trucks I've had to install inverters. I realize though I use mine for work and it's a very specific use. Wish it would power saws or vacuums though...

How many engine hours on your truck?
Alex Hardy replied to Gasser43's topic in 2014 - 2019 Silverado & Sierra
The way I see it, most often those trucks that have low miles and high hours are the ones that have had rougher lives. I.E. less highway, more offroad, more sitting idling on "jobsites" and simlar.- 45 replies

What have you done to your K2 today?
Alex Hardy replied to block8head's topic in 2014-2018 Silverado & Sierra Mods
Nice looking set up. It's nice to see a fellow Mainah on these boards. Love my Magnum Rack did you end up mounting your light with the magnum mounts? What else is that controller running? Also, nice plow set up too. I'm trying to justify one for my half ton, this photo is pushing me towards outfitting it. -
1" Wheel Adapters Work! 2014 Sierra SLT
Alex Hardy replied to 14WhiteZ71's topic in 2014-2018 Silverado & Sierra Mods
I haven't decided. Unfortunately finances are going to be going in a different direction for the next year or so. Saving pennies to pay for my wedding. -
1" Wheel Adapters Work! 2014 Sierra SLT
Alex Hardy replied to 14WhiteZ71's topic in 2014-2018 Silverado & Sierra Mods
Looks good! I'm still debating on a set of 1.25" ones for my truck or aftermarket rims, I kind of like how the stockers look poking out of the truck a little -
Level/lift with no steps, Seat Wear
Alex Hardy replied to techsan15's topic in 2014-2018 Silverado & Sierra Mods
I have roughly 2.5-3" of lift with 275/70-18's. My seat is getting pretty worn at around 60k miles. It actually this month has finally worn through on the same spot that RaginCajun has described. I am 6' 1", I do however work for a construction company and use my truck on site quite frequently. I'm in and out of it probably 30-40 times a day or more so its used quite a bit on site. I just put steps on it after Christmas and my girlfriend and other co workers who drive it have said it makes a world of difference. I don't have any pics right now but if I remember later I'll try and take some. -
2019 round wheel wells.
Alex Hardy replied to jagabom (Esquire)'s topic in 2019-2025 Silverado & Sierra
I prefer the square lines of my '15 but with that being said, I'm on the camp that wishes the square wheel wells didn't make it so difficult to stuff larger wheels in there. -
Got the 295/70/18 Ridges put on
Alex Hardy replied to Tyler.pugh's topic in 2014 - 2019 Silverado & Sierra
I think this is what I'm going to run next, I currently have 275/70r18 with 2.5" Level/lift and an AAL. I get aboud 15-17mpg in summer (I work the truck hard though), and have no rubbing issues. As AdamJ said, just do some investigation on where it does rub and you should be able to zip tie the liners back. I'm curious if you do trim or anything post some pics up. I'd be interested to see how they look at full lock. -
What have you done to your K2 today?
Alex Hardy replied to block8head's topic in 2014-2018 Silverado & Sierra Mods
The magnum racks just use the stake pocket to mount. They work with all between the rail covers. Same goes for the bed rails they make too. (Which are on the list for the future) Shes got a few icicles on her from the car wash but mostly clean. I’ve had enough of this below zero everyday when I wake up. I’d love some 20 degree days lol -

Stock wheels on lifted trucks!
Alex Hardy replied to GA1500WT's topic in 2014-2018 Silverado & Sierra Mods
Rough Country 2.5 Level/Lift with an additional AAL installed in the rear. Stock rims plastidipped black with General AT2 275/70r18's. Don't have any great photos from the side but here's a few I had kicking around. -
Assist Steps / Running Boards / Nerf Bars
Alex Hardy replied to Cholt2322's topic in 2014-2018 Silverado & Sierra Mods
Put on ICI Magnum RT Steps over the holidays. I'm very happy with the look and matches my headache rack well. -

Alex Hardy replied to block8head's topic in 2014-2018 Silverado & Sierra Mods
Over the Christmas break I ended up ordering a new Magnum headache rack, Magnum RT side steps, and had a custom stainless dual exhaust thrown on, Truxedo Duece tonneau cover is on the way and oh and it finally got warm enough to wash it yesterday! -
Anyone done an Add A Leaf instead of a block?
Alex Hardy replied to LongrangeLauber's topic in 2014 - 2019 Silverado & Sierra
I'm hopefully throwing an AAL on mine once the weather allows, it's 0 out without the windchill today. I use my truck primarily for work and after I put the Rough Country Level/Lift kit on it the rear end is about an 1" lower than the front. Not a good look in my opinion. Hopefully the AAL in combination with the 2" block will raise it back up so the front end isn't pointed up at the sky every time I put weight in it.
