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?

Uggghhhhhh this is by far my fav truck on this forum at the moment.

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??

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?

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.

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?

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

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....?

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.

Definitely. That can be run with only a level, without even having the body lift. That will easily fit without any issues whatsoever with your setup.

Realistically, that's a conservative recommendation. There are many people on here with 35s and a 4" lift. Most of the 4" lifts recommend only a 33 though. It's doable, just not as guaranteed as the 33s, since there may be trimming involved unless there is proper offset.

I believe Rawyzf has a 285/70/17 Cooper STT Pro in his spare tire slot, but not totally sure if he mounts it inside with it. He made a post awhile back with his spare tire next to his mounted tires at that time and said it was his full size spare, but idk if he leaves it in his garage, bed of his truck under the cover, or if it ended up fitting into the spare tire spot. I think I saw someone else say they fit a 33" spare tire without issues, but can't find that post. I'll quote Rawyzf's spare tire post from his build thread. It's on page 14. http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/171035-rawyzfs-2015-silverado-z71-build/page-14

$500 total for all 4 together??? New? Jeez. That's crazy good if they're brand new.
