    With a curb or pothole licking its chops!

    That depends on how you interpret this GM advisory, or rather how GM will interpret a level / lift kit:. :

    Dayton, Document it all the best you can and I'll bet your attorney can get answers. Locking steering wheels while on motion is like smoking in a dynamite factory.

    There is a curb just waiting for those wheels..............

    There is a fix for this just published, can't find it but it's been discussed here just a day or two ago.

    A theoretical situation: What would be your opinion if this happened at 65MPH with your family in the truck? What you experienced can't happen someplace else? Are you sure?

    Vet, That is simply stunning and dual exhaust like it should look!

    What are you talking about? Is your word "There" supposed to be spelled "They're?" Your post makes no sense.

    Boltman, I would do some research before installing HID bulbs that you don't melt your lenses.

    The lateral is more of an issues because it looks like the studs would have to be removed and removing the metal may become a thickness issue like brake rotors. I don't know what the acceptable tolerances are for the flange thickness. .040 out for the lateral over say a 7" flange would throw that out three times than that on a 20" wheel (~.125 or 1/8"). So a 20" wheel and tires would wobble about 1/8" of an inch. I'm not a motion engineer but I imagine that would certainly cause vibration @ ~ 70MPH. No?

    Is your dial indicator incremented in .001 in? How far out is driver's side it total each way? Can quite make out your TIR (Total Indicator Runout) I agree driver's side O.D. needs to be trimmed and the lateral runout isn't good at all making your wheel and tire wobble. Geezus..!..............

    Firestone (Transforce AT) , Michelin (Defender LTX M/S), Nitto (Grappler), and Goodyear (Wrangler AT) make that size

    Looks nice Matt. Are your Bridgestones the OEM tires (275/55/20?).

    CW, That is just stunning! I've said it before here that I haven't seen an ugly 2014+ GM ot Chevy yet.

    Willy, where do you live and mileage? Silver, I should have clarified that I have all season tires OEM 20" and would want to remain all season for 18." I realize the AT tires are generaly a little rougher ride..
  16. Rolling Thunder
    Now I understand the statement. The 18" 275/65/18 tires put 7" between the rim and the road while the OEM 20" 275/55/20 tires put 6" between the rim and the road. The swap I was considering leaves the speedometer essentially the same without the need for a correction.

    Thank you very much Hoosier!

    I'm still not particularly fond of my optional 275/55/20 chrome OEM wheels and have considered OEM 18" wheels in 275/65/18 which would be nearly identical in diameter to the chrome OEM wheels. I have read here that 18" wheels ride better than 20 or 22 inch wheels. Is there any reliability to that statement?
  19. Rolling Thunder
    Hoosier, What was your total cost? I went to their site and mounting hardware is additional but I couldn't find that cost without going thru checkout. I assume you (we) only have three mounting brackets on our double cabs?

    Good lookin' job Lake!

    DR, I looked these folks up on their web site. Their "tonneau" covers are quite remarkable (and expensive). I had never heard of them before. https://www.diamondbackcovers.com/se/
  23. Rolling Thunder
    Yep, that HAS to go!
  24. Rolling Thunder
    Arson, Contact Extang directly from their web site, perhaps with a photo. and see what they say.
