2019Custom

Looks beautiful! What bumper and skid plate is that? (if beggars are choosing, a link would be much appreciated!). Did you install yourself? If not, any ballpark on cost? Also, can I confirm if you have a level or lift there? Assume it's 2.5" level up front with a 1.5" block in rear but figured it might be a 3" lift kit instead. No matter what, she's gorgeous. Well done!

I love this look. Are you running spacers for that stance? I have a Silverado but I’m running 35x12.5s on stock 20s and I don’t get that wide of a stance. Considering spacers

Bump - $300

I have a 2020 Custom 4x4 (Not a trail boss). I added a 2.25 procomp level up front and was able to fit 35x12.5s on my stock 20’s. I did delete the flaps/air guards, but have no rubbing even at Full lock. I had two different (reputable) 4x4 shops say something similar to me about needing a 6” lift to get to 35s. Guess it’s in their best interest to have you spend $2500 getting a Massive kit installed and selling you a tire package for another $2500. Also to be fair to them, ( at least the ones around here) they aren’t very familiar with the T1s yet I have the tires and stance I want and am all-in for less than $1400

I'm interested. Please private msg me

Are the BORA spacers still available? Please msg me directly if so. Also, assume they fit without any grinding? And I know you wouldn't necessarily know, but also assume they would fit on their Silverado cousin?

Looks amazing. Where did you get the spacers? inches? BORA?

I 100% totally get the Katzkin loyalty and they make a great product that looks great in everyone’s trucks. However, if anyone is looking for an alternative due to cash flow issues and can follow a very basic (But easy to follow) YouTube instructional video, then I highly recommend Clazzio. You can get the basic GM color pallet for around $600 inc tax and ship. The fancier Colors are $800 and take longer (like 8-10 weeks) from the factory. I installed myself (same covers twice actually first in my 2019 and now in my 2020) and am in no way a mechanic or a craftsman. I get compliments And inquiries all the time. Takes about 2 to 3 hours start to finish but it’s very straightforward. @Keinsi didn’t mean to take away from your post at all but wanted folks to have know there are quality alternatives to eBay for 1/3 the price if they’re struggling to drop $1600 on seats (by the way don’t buy clazzio on amazon or EBay for the same reasons Keinsi states above....buy direct from Clazzio.com)

Any stance pics with the spacers? Heavily considering 1.5" BORAs

Bump

Looks great! I have the same procomp 2.25 on my Chevy. Just so you know, I managed 35x12.50s on stock 20's with no rub, no spacers and no trimming. Know the GMCs have a slightly smaller wheel well, but hopefully it gives you some ideas should you ever decide to get larger rubber. You've also inspired me to spring for tinting. It looks mean as hell!

Looks great! Where are those trails? Colorado?

Mine is a 2020 Custom 4x4 with 5.3L (NOT a trail boss) 35x12.5x20 Atturo Trail Blade X/Ts (Measure out to 34.92” and 12.52”) 2.25” Pro Comp level up front (actually sitting .75” nose High at the moment so getting a 1” Rear block put on soon). No spacers. No trimming. No rubbing (although to be fair, I deleted the rock/mud guards as soon as I got her)

Looks awesome. Which step bars are those?

2020 Custom 4x4 5.3L 2.25” Pro Comp level kit up front. She’s actually currently sitting .75” higher in the front, so I’m going to add a 1” SDT rear block in a few weeks. Not for this thread, but just Adding the front level allowed me to fit 35x12.5x20 Atturo Trail Blade X/Ts. No spacers required. No rub. No trimming

I have little to no mechanical skills and did this myself in 20 mins. It really improves the sound and best part is that it’s not permanent. Don’t use tape. Just get some exhaust sheets from a car parts place, cut to size and use 3” clamps to cover the screens. I’ll try to post a video but the link has a lot of people showing you sound improvement.

This is my second T1...traded in a 2019 2WD custom in order to get a 2020 4WD custom with a 5.3 back in March. Dealer called....offered me a brand new truck with 4wd, V8 and to lower my monthly payment without increasing my financing commitment. No brainer. Got a 2.25" ProComp level up front ($520 installed at 4wheelParts Marietta) which allowed for 35x12.50x20 tires on stock wheels. Yes they fit. No spacers. No rub. No trimming (although I'd already deleted the "rock/mud guards"). It is NOT a trail boss, so hoping this gives others the confidence to go for 35/12.5"s where possible. Tires are Atturo Trail Blade X/Ts which have a lot of mixed reviews from the 2015-2016 days, but have really gotten a lot better in the last few years. They balanced with a few ounces, look aggressive and so far ride quiet as a church mouse. They are 34.9" tall and 12.52" wide. Only paid $820 out the door (Discount tire gives you $200 or so for your H/T takeoffs...one of the few places that still pay for them), so if they last me anything past 18 months I feel i'm in the black. She's actually sitting .75" nose high (reverse rake) at the moment, so I've got a SDT 1" rear block that I'm installing next month. I've also got a Ronin antenna, Rough Country rear light strip under the tailgate, OEM bed liner, OEM steps, Chevy soft roll up bed over and Clazzio Leather seat covers in baseball glove brown (installed myself for $800....highly recommend over Katzkin). I also painted the tow hooks with plasti-dip red. Not permanent, so might do the full upgrade to rough country red hooks if I can figure out how to get around that pesky driver's side bolt (don't want to have to take the whole front end apart). There's also a thread on here about the $20 exhaust upgrade that isn't permanent. I did that too and it sounds perfect (not high schooler loud, but perfect grumble and lets everyone know it's a V8 without being obnoxious). It would take me 2 mins to return it to stock. Next steps: 1" rear block, window tinting, de-badge the CUSTOM on back, rear wheel well liner, AMP Power steps, and maybe some chrome (handles and mirrors). All-in, including taxes, I'm still under $34K total for a brand new truck (including mods) that sits, sounds and looks how I want. Pretty happy with that.

For Sale: OEM GM Crew Cab 4-inch Round Step Bars Black (Factory Installed) - $300 (Atlanta Metro Area - Southeast) Designed specifically for T1 2019 or 2020+ Chevy Silverado 1500 Crew Cabs (Assume they would work for 2019+ GMC Sierra 1500 as well, but not sure) Chevy Accessories has them listed at $750: https://accessories.chevrolet.com/product/crew-cab-4-inch-round-assist-steps-in-black-84011355?year=2020&make=Chevrolet&model=Silverado 1500&modelId=491&body=Crew Cab Pickup&bodyId=22&wheel=Short Box&wheelId=651&trim=Custom&trimId=125&drive=4WD&driveId=8&engine=5.3L V8 GAS&engineId=2059&bodyNumDoors=5&categoryId=12062 The dealer sticker had them listed at $795. I am asking $300. They are in excellent condition and have never been off road or abused. Reason for sale: I'm looking to transition to AMP power steps. I'm in the north Atlanta suburbs and would be willing to travel up to 150 miles to meet up. Would really prefer to avoid trying to ship these things, but willing to discuss options. Thanks!

That looks damn good. Exactly what I'm looking to do as far as stance and tire size. Wish more companies offered a 35" with the 11.5 width. Worried about trying to go up to 12.5

Any leaking? Really like the clean look. Currently have a soft top that sits up.

That's a pretty truck! Love the setup

What size rubber do you have? Did you do a level?

They look damn good when dirty! What are your plans for cleaning underneath? I read somewhere about an old school method of using a yard sprinkler to go back and forth for a half hour to loosen everything up.

How'd you go about trimming the flares? Really want to remove them, but if they were flush to the body I'd be happy to keep some protection.

Was this as straight forward as it seems?
