The tires spec out to 33.25 but that is the tire alone without any load. Try measuring the tires from the ground up (while mounted, thus under load/weight of the truck) and using that measurement in the device? As that would be the true height of the tire that is rotating under the truck?

That, and he is a business man first and foremost. Things had recently come out showing that he was starting to get into some financial troubles. He did in fact have a lot to gain in his presidential race; publicity. He funded himself for the election, which is cool and all, but that also means any profits from selling ALL of the "Make America Great Again" and "Trump" merchandise was straight profit for him. I honestly believe he never had the intention of winning the election, just doing it for the major publicity he would achieve throughout the race, and then later on in the race he saw how big of a following he was actually getting and later into the election possibly decided to take it somewhat seriously. But I don't believe his original intentions at the very start were to be a "patriot" and become succeed in becoming the first non-political president.

LED Cargo and Backup bulbs
JoJoSilverado replied to Micah LoPresto's topic in 2014-2018 Silverado & Sierra Mods
Philips changed the base of the bulb design recently. If you get the silver/blue 921, it fits almost perfect. The new design has a thicker base that you may need to lightly sand down to get it to fit properly. No need for a sanding tool as it's only a small bit, just some sand paper and elbow grease. I may look into diode dynamics next time personally if they don't require any altercations like the new Philips bulbs. Just laziness on my part tbh. -

I'm digging the rear badging, where'd you get those?? -
Spare Tire Question
JoJoSilverado replied to SilveradoSaver's topic in 2014-2018 Silverado & Sierra Mods
Did you ever hear back from him? I'm curious what he does with the spare (if he even carries it with him), or if he just mounted that tire on temporarily for the photo perhaps? -
rdnckhntr94's 2014 Silverado High Country Build
JoJoSilverado replied to LongrangeLauber's topic in Vehicle Builds
Can't say. But it may be a cheaper/quicker solution to try before spending the money on those. Worth a shot to just cut a square out of a cup or something. Or if you have some excess thin rubber laying around that you could snip a small bit out. Or even an old t-shirt. I would want something with some thickness, but I also don't know how much it will rattle if any. I just feel like it'd be more comforting to have some soft thickness in there. I'm a bit of a worry-wart so I often don't wait to see if it will rattle, I just expect it to be horrid lol. Rubber bushings/washers aren't expensive, and it'll definitely be more visibly appealing than my suggestions. I'd go with those first and see if they solve the problem (if there is one at all) to retain more of the aesthetic appeal. -
will 305/55/r20s fit?
JoJoSilverado replied to Justin Bowden's topic in 2014-2018 Silverado & Sierra Mods
Considering it's odd to find people running that wide of tire on stock wheels, I'd assume there's going to be a good bit of rubbing on sway bar/uca. You'd need less offset, at least +18 or lower, +15 may even be the sweet spot. Stock wheels are a very large offset, I believe around the +27ish range. That high of an offset tucks the tires in quite a bit. If you're determined to stick with the stock wheels, you may be able to solve your problem with small hub-centric spacers. Many people on the forum strongly advise against wheel spacers for safety reasons, and I can't speak for/against them as I have no experience with them myself. If you rarely ever turn the steering wheel all the way to one direction, you MIIIIGHT be fine. But you'd likely have to make extremely wide turns and recorrect parking situations often since you'll be limited on turning radius. -

JoJoSilverado replied to LongrangeLauber's topic in Vehicle Builds
May be slightly ghetto, but you could also maybe loosen it up a bit and stick some Styrofoam or something through above/between the screws if that doesn't work. Maybe cut the sides off so it is "hidden/tucked" underneath the square mount piece. -

What keeps the bendy looking support (technical name escapes me at the moment) from folding with the phone on it? Or bumps and such? Is it fairly sturdy or quite flexible? -
Leg room shouldn't be a problem unless somebody is tall. Not average height "tall", but actually tall. I sat in the backseat of my double cab Silverado with my seat almost all the way back, and I was able to sit with leg room. It's all in how they sit. If they sit with their knees together and slouched down, there probably won't be much "leg room". If I sit with my legs spread a bit and sitting straight up/scooted all the way back in the seat, I'm comfortable back there. For reference, I am 6'2". Smaller backseats may not be optimal for long periods of time, but casual town/city commuting shouldn't be an issue.

Windshield Wiper Blades
JoJoSilverado replied to davidio840's topic in 2014 - 2019 Silverado & Sierra
I recently replaced my oem blades with some bosches (not the icon though), and they still skip across the windshield on the drivers side like the oem ones did for me, even though they're brand new... Could it have something to do with the spring in the wiper arm or something else.... I find it hard to believe a new blade can be an issue like that. I haven't tried swapping driver/passenger blades yet to diagnose, just wondering if anybody else has run into this perhaps -
Post your 2014+ wheel/tire set-up
JoJoSilverado replied to BlueWrapper's topic in 2014-2018 Silverado & Sierra Mods
One thing I'm curious of (not that it is going to affect me as I've already made my choice), but why are 33x12.5 sized tires not a true 33x12.5? Same with 35/37x12.5 Like, the width is usually only .02 off, if that. But why is the height of the tire on those measurements almost always ~0.25 shorter than the stated size? ie: 32.76, 34.76, 36.77 Like, if you want a true 33x12.5, you'd probably be better off going with the 305/55 size (this is with a 20" wheel of course). But some people like the simplicity of their sidewall tire size being the easy inch-based numbers, instead of metric. Does anybody know why they don't manufacture these tires true to size? It can't be because it's "not possible" for some reason, as most of these companies that offer a metric version (305/55/20) seem to spec out to almost exactly (and closer to) the true 33x12.5 size for example....? -
Post your 2014+ wheel/tire set-up
JoJoSilverado replied to BlueWrapper's topic in 2014-2018 Silverado & Sierra Mods
In addition to that, you won't get the total "half" of the diameter on the bottom. Your current tires should be a true 31 with 17" wheels, maybe 32 if you have 18"/20" wheels. The tire measurement is going to be smaller under load (mounted on the truck) because the weight is pushing down on the sidewalls. A 33" tire mounted is going to "measure" at around 31.5-32", but 33" un-mounted. -
Steering wheel is not centered
JoJoSilverado replied to Kerrslight's topic in 2014 - 2019 Silverado & Sierra
I've always felt like the steering wheel was a tad more to the right than the left myself... I must be the odd one out. It feels like when I center my head with the headrest, the steering wheel is slightly off-right. Also, when driving, I can rest my arm on my center console (jumpseat) and my right arm be closer to the wheel than when I rest my arm on the door armrest with my left arm.
