My family owned GM vehicles for decades for one reason "Column shifter"
we currently own 2 (2015/2016) ESV Escalades and 2016 Silverado HC
so after trying both features my vote goes to:
column shifter + push start button + keyless entry + bird view camera
I ordered McGaughys 2/4" economy lowering kit. it has front relocators, rear lowering shackles, and rear leaf springs, also ordered a rear shock extenders.
I hope this is the correct way to lower a 4WD truck
Edit: when I remove the rear blocks do I need to get a different U-Bolts? I prefer safety due to my aggressive driving
I'm wondering if there is a kit ready to be installed in my upcoming 2016 silverado high country 4WD. I guess it will come with aluminum control arms.
I'M noob in this category so if there is a direct link to purchase it would be nice.
I have found this fabtech 6" GEN II lift kit, here is the part numbers:
FTS21172 , FTS21170 and Coilover spacers FTS21171.
The question is do I need the $150 coilover spacers? I'm willing to install 315/70R17 tires on Factory 17" wheels.
I don't like cuttings/trimmings, only bolts on kit.
Help me because I'm noob!
I don't know if this is the right place to ask!
I bought factory 17" wheels like this:

and I can't decide which tire is the best for this kind of wheels and stock factory lift 2016 silverado! I'm looking for a quiet ride, low noise, good for sand dunes!
here is the list:
1- Yokohama Geolander A/T-S 285/65R17 116H (H = 210km/h) has more aggressive pattern and can reach 210km/h but little bit smaller
2- Toyo Open Country H/T 285/70R17 117T (T= 190km/h) has best tread life and lives very long
3- Firestone A/T 285/70R17 117T has best price with A/T pattern too
any thoughts, opinions?
I have AMP board steps. the electric motor jammed. and it always stop working , now it stopped for eternity! but I know in my heart it needs just some cleaning and maybe little WD40 maybe
Been surfing this topic for a while and didn't see what i'm looking for!
I'm looking for someone installed 315/70R17 with the stock 17" wheels. I would like to know what is the minimal lift required without having rubbing issue or minimal trimming required.
Also I would be happy if it has reversal feature which it can go to stock when I want to.
Sorry for returning to this old topic but I don't get it!
I will not buy a Denali because of this feature! And you're asking for it! I will buy an SLT or LTZ and then install the shocks I want without the hassle of electornics.
Also replacing failure MRC shocks is $500 each and it is not interchNgeable between sides, beside it is made for on road not off road.
Finally enlighten me please if I'm wrong because I will choose SLT trim over the Denali and I like the Denali's 8" cluster so I need better facts to make my decision stronger
Thanks
I'm Just curious about the factory 17X8" wheels, would they fit the 2" to 3" lift kits?
Anyone experiencing an increase in the travel length with a 2" lift kit?
My plan now is Fabtech UCA kit + Fox shocks with reservoir and adjustable features
But it is expensive and I'm afraid it won't increase the travel noticeably.
I will have one Escalade with Corvette engine! in Platinum edition too
The Escalade ESV got no rivals! they are the one and only in this market and definitely there is families out there waiting for a true family hauler beast.
I expect them to introduce Escalade-V with the upcoming design. when they shed some serious weight by using aluminium frames.
PS: Don't forget to increase the fuel tank capacity
I run with 30 psi (more than a year and nothing happened so far) and one of my friends done 25 psi and also nothing happens except much improved ride
The recommended 50 psi or whatever insanely high psi is only if the truck weight is near the recommended tires load.
for example if the 4 tires has a load of 12,000lbs with 40 psi this means if you reduce the pressure the 12,000lbs would also be reduced
and don't forget to inflate the tires to 40~psi when you need to pickup high loads or exceeds recommended speed such as 100mph
