Well guys Im finally happy, in fact Im so happy I cant stand it. I got my truck exactly where I wanted it. I picked up a new set of factory 20's and got a set of the new Nitto Trail Grappler MT's in 295/55/20's. When I saw them I wasnt sure they were gonna fit. They are alot bigger than the size calculates. Nitto lists them as 32.91" x 12.52" and they arent kidding. However, they fit perfectly with just my 2" lower strut lift and stock offset, no rubbing whatsoever (I am trimmed up from before though). The tires tuck in and dont throw shit all over the sides, perfect size imo.

 

I really love these tires, they look great and are very very quiet even with the tread design you can barely hear them.

 

I also added new rear shocks, Rancho RS9000XL 9way adjustables and they ride so damn smooth its unreal.

 

(btw...parking lot was sloped, theres no rake)

 

specs:

 

Tires = Nitto Trail Grappler MT 295/55/20

Wheels = Factory 20x8.5 +31mm offset

Lift = 2" lower strut mount spacer with rear block removed

Looks good man ...nice set-up. I have the same factory 20's, and would love to run that same tire and size. However ...I don't think I can be 100% confident that they wouldn't rub on my truck since you said you were already "trimmed".

 

Once again ...Nice truck!

Yup thats why I made sure I put that note in there. I wish I could try these on a truck untrimmed with a 2 - 2.5" level kit so people would know for sure.

I love you set up! Very nice job.

 

How hard was it to clear your headlights? Did you have to put them in the oven and then pull them apart?

Thanks guys I appreciate it.

 

The lights werent too hard to do, but you have to cut them open. I tried to do one in the oven and its so big or my wall oven is so small it melted it.

Thanks a lot for posting these pics... I've got a 2008 GMC Sierra Crew Cab 4x4 with the OEM 20's and this is the tire I'm goin' with once the stockers wear out... These pics make me wanna place an order sooner rather than later... Just out of curiosity... Where did you buy the tires and how much did you have to give per tire?

It was a Z71 when I bought it new, I added the stickers back to add some color and break up all that black.

Billy, I got the tires at discount tire for $1200 mounted/balanced everything OTD. Kinda pricey but they all run that much for 33x12.50x20 except BFG which is $400+/tire

Thanks for the info, JB... That price doesn't sound bad at all... Just trying to get a comparison... I had a local tire shop quote me $283 per tire for the 295/55R20's... After mounting/balancing and tax, I'm gonna be right there around $1200... Once again, thanks for the pics and info...

      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".
