Wheels: Ultra Predator 6's - 20X9 +25 offset - 6" backspace

 

Tires: 285/50R20 Yokohama Parada Spec-X's

 

 

I dropped the rear 2.5 inches with a GroundForce spring and shock kit and lowered the front around 1.25" with a torsion drop.

Looks great! :thumbs:

 

Now, lower that bad boy...

 

:)

 

I already did. 1.25" up front and 2.5" in the rear. :(

 

I can't slam it. It's 4WD and I actually have to use that here in the winter time. :)

i missed something, what happened to your truck?

 

also the tahoe looks great, i like that body style more than the new ones

 

Sold the truck around a month or so ago. Bought the Tahoe a few days later.

 

I just never drove the truck - 16000 miles in over 2 1/2 years. This thing is much more conducive to hauling our dogs and gear back and forth to and from our boat every weekend.

 

It's a 2001 4WD Loaded LT but it's very clean and only had 94K. I got it for $9500.

 

 

 

Thanks, everyone, for the compliments.

Looks awesome! Good choice of wheels.

 

Next thing I'd do if I were you would be to shave the roof rack. That would clean up the look a lot, and maybe even give it the illusion of being lowered more than it is already....

I've been considering that. That or finding an Escalade rack with the chrome rails and painted caps.

The wheels look good on there. Now all you need is a billet grille. :thumbs: And lose the granny steps, get nerf bars instead.

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By marpel · Posted

      Although there is a "recommended" weight by those who sell trailers, my experience has been that they are way too aggressive in their information, for me at least. My '22 with 6.6 Gas, has a payload of about 3400 lbs and depending on your specs (I don't have 4WD so it has a bit higher Payload than others) yours will likely be different. Payload is one of the most important numbers for towing. Although you "could" tow the max trailer weight for your truck, I, personally, would not go close to that number. Having said that, a lot depends on how/where you will be towing. I live in the LMD of BC and often tow to Denver, Co, along interstates (flat and mountains) and I find I need to keep it in 5th (6spd) for the trip and travel at around 65mph. This is for a trailer dry weight of just under 3500lbs. If you are only doing local, short trips, it would not be that big an issue if you had a heavier unit. You will be surprised how much stuff you load the trailer with, so I would only recognize the trailers "full" GVWR weight rating, then decide on the appropriate trailer from that number. If you are worrying about how much stuff you should be putting in a trailer, you might have too large a rig from the get-go. Once again, depending on what terrain/distance in which you will be pulling. Marv

      Disconnecting Battery

      By marpel · Posted

      davester, Thanks for the response, how ever, I think I am now a bit more confused than I was before I posted - - After I posted, I actually found a YT video of a guy who replaced his Module (above tire) and he only disconnected the ground cable of the battery, but you describe rubbing the two cables together after disconnecting. I presume that is to do as you describe and eliminate any residual energy? - When I picked up the Module (between my posting and reading your response) from the dealer, I specifically asked about any re-programming and he stated it was not necessary as it was simply plug and play. Don't know how knowledgeable he is, though. - The video I watched also showed the Module plug to be difficult to "unlock" and remove, but there was no mention of silicone, although the video did show a bunch of dust/dirt in and around the plug (old truck) during removal. Are you talking about silicone that was applied by the factory, or silicone that you applied prior to plugging in? Thanks again, Marv
