  1. Ok, yea if you want to keep those wheels you will need a spacer. Like I said I have Rough Country uppers arms and they require .25. When I did my lift, I did wonder had I used a different control arm would it still rub, and you pretty much answered that for me. I opted for new wheels with a different offset. I consulted with the main financial advisor in the house and she didn't give me a NO so new wheels it was.
  2. What size is your stock wheel you are running? I have rough country control arms and I rubbed with the 18'' wheels. Rough country states that you will need a .25'' spacer to avoid that or else get new wheels with a different offset.
  3. The tire tread lines pretty mu up with the fender and the sidewall is what is just outside the fender.
  4. I’m slow but tires mounted and balanced. Did a test fit. No rubbing sitting still. May have to pin the liner back a little near mudflap but will see. Need to install the rear blocks and get alignment next week and be done.
  5. Oh nice. Thats not bad at all. I got some goodies yesterday. Waiting on the rubber. Need to order some black lug nuts.
  6. Need to order new TPMS for the new wheels. I know they are 315mhz. Anyone have the correct part number? When I look up on GM pats website I get this number GM 84413350. That doesn't seem to line up with all the numbers when I search other sites like tpms.com. I reached out to them to make sure I order the correct ones.
  7. That is excellent work on that skid plate! Thanks for that other info. I will have to measure my rear blocks and see if they are the same. I am going to assume I will need to 3-inch block to get my rear level.
  8. Great looking set up! I like that front bumper on your truck. Is that the stock set up for the 2016 Z71? Earlier today I ordered up the Hankook's in 295, so no turning back now. Question do you know how far your front sits from ground to the fender well? After making adjustments on my front coilover my front is sitting at 40'' from ground to fender. My rear sits at 38.25''. Thats with my worn out tires I should say. So, to get level I need to add another 2'' to the rear. What size of block do I need to get level? How big are the stock block on our trucks?
  9. Sounds good. I think I’m just going to go with the 295 and call it day. I start looking into things and I just rack my brain to no end.
  10. I guess if I went with 285 they wouldn’t stick out? I can live with just a slight poke. Hell maybe I will get some fender flares at some point. How far out do they stick out about an inch?
  11. I decided to skip using a wheel spacer and I ordered a set of 17'' ZERO OFFSET wheels. MVX VX61 in Gunmetal. They were budget friendly. Now I am torn on what size tires. I am debating on 285/70r17 or 295/70r17. I have read and searched every site and looked at a thousand different pictures on sites like custom offset until my head spins. Any input is appreciated. I am thinking about getting the HANKOOK tires.
  12. That is what they say but from what I read some say to when you get over 2.5'' lift you should think about the angle of the other components. So, I decided to get the Rough Country plus the originals had 140k miles on them. Drawback is the stock 18'' wheels do hit them and rough country say to run a .25'' spacer. Not sure if other brands are designed slightly different and do not require that. I am running without the spacer but am being careful not to do full lock turns. I plan to get new wheels along with tires. No, I did not have ranchos. Guess just the GM brand.
  13. After driving for a week, I am noticing some clunking when turning a very low speed. I know I have everything tight because I double and triple check it all. Going to check again but was wondering can over torque cause the clunking?
