Is there a reason that I would use 10 ply tires versus a lesser ply in a situation like this? I don’t plan on pulling any 9000 pound trailer or doing any heavy off road trail driving. I am more going for the look then anything else. He also mentioned that the ride would be better with this option rather than just spacers. I’ve just been stuck before at an event when I owned a 2wd and I just don’t want to be caught in that situation again. My local tire guy suggested the Bilstein 5100 series. I pasted a link below. Not sure if that’s exactly what he was referring to though. I’ve seen people in this thread refer to this brand. https://www.google.com/shopping/product/1?lsf=seller:1909981,store:5730735552961550659&prds=pid:1092844213413993597,oid:3838965920338720464&q=bilstein+5100+leveling+kit&hl=en-us&ei=rn4XXeetHLjO0PEPxcCV8Ag&lsft=gclid:CjwKCAjwmNzoBRBOEiwAr2V27ZI1BhL8x-DG8LwCDFxiQk2eG6Gkn3JuARxpFSDFIgmtuq0s8R_TexoCnDMQAvD_BwE

Thanks for the input, much appreciated. I’m just hoping for an idea. Seems like you said, too many variables.

So I’ve read through quite a bit of this thread, even as long as it is. Can anyone be a little more specific on this question? I have a 17 Silverado 4wd that I want to level (2”) and put 285/55/20’s all terrain tires. What kind of mileage drop am I looking at if I get between 18-22 on hwy currently? Also, what kind of ride change should I expect?

I sent the pic and the link to the clamp to my dealership. I hope they take it seriously. My truck is still there. Been there since Thursday, January 28th. The loaner vehicle is a 2016 Tahoe so I can't complain too much.

Thanks!

Can you please post some pics of where you placed this on the truck? I'm mechanically inclined enough to install them, I'm just having a hard time figuring out where to clamp them.

Can you take on the Lemon law against them?

I got the same vibe from reading this thread. I already have the Lemon Law form ready to fill out for each visit and I'm making sure the work orders from the dealer specify what I went in there for. I hope this doesn't go that route because I love my truck. I do find that the vibration is intermittent and only seems to show up when the truck is having to push itself. The infrequency of it bothers me a bit because that just tells me it will be harder to figure out. It also doesn't seem to be as much of a shake as other people might be having. Are all of the GM/Chevy trucks doing this?

Took my 2015 Silverado in this morning. They are going to do the Road Force tire balance. I'll post the results.

I have had my 2015 Silverado Crew Cab LT for a month and it has this console shaking issue. Taking to the dealership in the morning for that and a seatbelt problem. I'm not able to read the entire 515 page thread from 2013 until now. Has anyone been able to remedy this issue? I've seen some people talking about this buy back thing or tires/drive shafts out of alignment. I really love my truck and I don't want to give it up. It seems to shake between 70-75 mph, but not all of the time. Sometimes it's more shaky than others. I've also been on smooth asphalt back roads and not felt it at all. Could it be something to do with rough concrete highways send the tires or something out of whack? I had a 90-something GMC a while back and the steering shook with the cab. Found out it was bad back tires.
