As not to start another string on gearing swaps.... I have a 18 sierra Denali 1500 6.2 with 3.42 gears. We pull right up to the max for the truck with our travel trailer and spending a lot of time in Colorado. I have no complaints with the 3.42 gearing until we head up hill 6% grade, there is way to much loss in speed and gear seeking. We have found a local shop that will put in the 4.11 gears, but does not do programming. The dealership warranty or not doesn't want to modify it, for the 4.11. Diablo after 45 minutes on the phone told me, yes their T2EX or the I3 would program the truck for the gearing. My problem is I know nothing about programming or do I care to learn at this point. The local tuner shops wont touch it unless it is their brand and they don't have the unlock for the tranny for the 18 models. So... Anyone in Texas up for some cold beer and some lessons with a Diablo?? -

Hey guys, So I am going to be lifting my 2016 Silverado 1500 5.3L LTZ Z71 with a Zone 4.5'' lift within the next week or so. I am wanting to fit as much tire under it as possible. I see Zone's website says I can fit 33x12.5x18 with my stock rims, but I was hoping to fit 35's. It says I have to have a 20x9 wheel with 5.75 backspace in order to fit 35x12.5x20. I have a few questions & concerns. I received multiple quotes and most are ranging around 2400-2500 with Lift + Fox 2.0 Rear Shocks + Alignment + Labor. I've seen this is on the highend as far as labor goes, but I don't think I have many options since I want it done correctly by professionals. I'm also thinking I will get the lift first and see how small my 265x65x18's look under it to see if I actually want 33's or 35's. Next is gearing. Should I regear if I put 33's or 35's under the 4.5'' Lift? I know nothing about regearing except the little bit that I have read through these forums. I have also gone through all 213 pages of the suspension lift topic. I also will not be doing much offroading outside of hauling bicycles down some dirt roads to trails. It just seems like a whole lot more money involved when lifting and wanting bigger tires that I had assumed. I've seen some people fit 35's under a 4.5'' Zone Lift with minor rubbing that they ziptied or small trim, I'm just stuck going back and forth in my head trying to justify all of this. Any input or help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks guys!! I will cross post this to suspension lifts.
