Hi all,

 

I need some advice...If I go with a 3" BL, do you guys think that 275/60r20's will look good vs 305/55r20's? The 305's are a little pricey and a lot heavier and I can get some 275's at a good price. They are the same hieght and all....I already have a 2" leveling kit also. Thanks for the help!!

Not sure what to tell you about the 275's but I love my 305's. It definitely fills out the wheel wells nicely and just looks super sexy in my opinion. It's all personal opinion though. Hopefully someone with some 275's and this setup will chime in

If you are who I think you are, then I meet you at the Milpitas Black Bear tune and you are talking about the white Silverado or the Tahoe. Both looked really nice. If you have no idea what im talking about then just ignore the previous comments and continue reading the rest :D

 

I just read a recent post and commented on it. They have the level, the 1.5" lift and the 275 version of the tires you were talking about. if not, check out my garrage and you can see the tires on my ride with just the RC level. im going to do the 1.5" BL soon. Either tire will look really nice and fit the truck perfectly. Its kinda hard to go wrong with 33" tires and any kind of level/lift on these trucks.

HAHA thanks for the reply guys....Yeah I have some serious thinking to do...Ive been thinking about it all day and its giving me a headache! I know the 275's look great with the 1.5" lift, but im thinking they will be small for the 3"....decisions decisions!!!! Never thought it would be this hard! :D

I'd go 305's the wider tire would look tons better than the skinnier 275. Not saying the 275 isn't good just with the BL the wider tires look that much better!

If you're going with the 3" body lift + 2" leveling kit... then go with the 305/55/20s

 

If you're taking off the 2" leveling kit and putting on a 3" body lift.... then go with the 275/60/20s... or be prepared to trim a lot of metal like i did.

Without a doubt 305's is the way to go.

I run them on my Yukon & my Escalade.

      Stabilitrak conversion to Z71

      By teamjnz · Posted

      Sounds like converting will be a bigger endeavor than I was thinking. This truck doesn't have 2Hi like the Suburban did. The Tahoe has 4Hi and 4Lo and a button to turn of traction control.   From what I understand the Stabilitrak uses open diff in the front and rear. When wheel speed is not the same the stabilitrak uses the ABS system to slowdown the spinning wheel(s) to transfer power to the slower non-spinning wheel(s). I thought the transfer case was open too. Being able to transfer power either more to front or rear depending on wheel spin. Maybe I miss understood some information with you saying and power transfer is 50-50. Thanks

      OCI, not when but why?

      My brother has a 2007 Avalanche with afm 5.3. It`s got 176,000 miles. Runs like a clock. Never been apart. Co worker has a 2010 Tahoe with afm 5.3. 230,000 miles. Never been apart. Runs like a clock. So, even though cyl deac is a weak spot, they can go the distance.   BUT, these engines had the oil changed regularly, AND had 5w30 as spec. I wonder if they would have lasted this far on 0w20? I`ll bet not.

      I certainly could be wrong but I hear of pickups far newer than that 2007 cutoff which may not be going to the wrecker but are having engine work done and be that a reman engine or new engine or trying to repair the existing engine. Some of it would be design issues as per the cylinder deactivation system that GM has and one of those lifters wiping out the cam and the question of oil changes moving the needle or not on that whole mess, or in the case of Ford pickup engines that have the long timing chains and wearing them out and the roller followers and phasers and some of that certainly goes back to oil change intervals. But in those various cases the truck has all sorts of life left in it and so the unfortunate owner and may be original owner or used market owner that is pouring money into repairs so the truck is not seeing the salvage yard yet but damage is happening by infrequent oil changes. A friends son had bought a 2018 I think it is half ton GM and it had some sort of extended or used dealer warranty on it and of course the lifter issue bites and its rattling and so the dealer had to swallow the bill and was at least 7000.00 and I think they only replaced what they felt they had to replace so yeah, I can see that being a ticking time bomb in the not too distant future. Would frequent oil changes cure all these engineering "marvels", probably not but some engine designs have shown that they do much better if the oil is changed a lot more often then if the manufacturer service claims are followed. New trucks cost so much that there is an incentive to keep the existing truck on the road by repairing.

      get a good code reader, and find out what problems the truck has noticed by reading codes. cheap ones can only get basic engine codes, you may want to get one that can get codes from all the computers in your truck.

      This is sort of my point, salvage yards aren't overflowing with all these 'poorly' maintained trucks - excellent/good/servicable condition otherwise, salvaged only as a result of a bad engine from poor oil change regiment.    In my area, there are no 2007 to newer gm trucks/suvs in any salvage yards. A few are in the 'recyclers' with very obvious reasons for being there - wrecked.
