i see that it comes with a leveling kit also. that must be how they get the 5 inches. wonder if it comes with 5'' blocks for the rear?

I'm thinkin its like the zone 3.5 combo kit. That kit comes with 1.5 body lift and level for 3.5. So I'm thinking its 3 inch body lift with 2 inch level. Just my guess

Yeah.. its their 3" body lift + 2" leveling kit. NO blocks for the rear and NO rear gap guards.

 

This can be done much better via:

3" Zone body lift

2" RC leveling kit

Make your own gap guards

Yeah.... just an air powered cutoff wheel.

 

Honestly i didnt want to cut a new truck either. but people swore they "fit" the setup I bought with just 2" leveling kits with some "minor plastic trimming".

 

I found out the hard way that "fit" to most people really means "uh... oh yea, well.... they rub but only when turning the wheel in reverse" :lol:

 

"fit" to me means "the tires dont rub anything EVER".... so I had to trim a tad bit more than some minor plastic :dunno:

is it the height of the tire that cause it to rub or the width? like would it be better for me to run a 32'' tire and a wider with? i really dont want to cut. so ill prolly have to go with a leveling kit. hopefully a 1.5'' will be enough

tire height AND width play a role as well as wheel width AND backspace.

 

 

Take a look at LSU_Dark_Knight's truck :dunno:

they are like 33.2 x 12 with 20's. But I'm pretty sure a 33x12.5 would have fit.. i think.. maybe some trimming

what size tires does he have? i cant convert that shit. and im going to stick with 17'' wheels but that is a sweet truck

 

285/70/17 would be the safe bet

305/65/17 would be ideal, but choices may be limited

305/70/17 would be a tight squeeze, may require some trimming

ya after looking around i think im going to go with the 285/70/17. that way ill know for sure i wont need to trim. they might look a little small, but im thinking the offset of the wheels will help to make them look a little bigger and meaner. know what i mean? but it seems like i can find better deals on the 305/65/17s though.

If you're doing a 3" body lift + 2" leveling kit... and you can get better deals on the 305/65/17s over a 285/70/17... id personally go with the 305s.

      Fred was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young pullets, and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced. This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells. Fred's favourite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover. To Fred's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one. Fred was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the City Show and he became an overnight sensation among the judges. The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the "No Bell Piece Prize," but they also awarded him the "Pulletsurprise" as well. Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention. Vote carefully in the next election, you can't always hear the bells.

      High Country Suburban build confirmation

      By 3CarSeatDad · Posted

      Can someone confirm if the GM order workbench terminal is able to validate a custom build sequence:   1) Initialize the Allocation Base: Open a new vehicle build queue, select the 2026 Chevrolet Suburban 4WD, and pick the High Country (3LZ Preferred Equipment Group).   2) Select the Diesel Powertrain: Go directly to the engine configuration screen and choose RPO code LZ0 (3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel). Ensure it maps to the MHS 10-speed automatic transmission.   3) Deploy the Seating Swap: Navigate to the Interior Options screen and enter RPO code ATT to replace the standard captain's chairs with the power-release 60/40 bench seat. Because you are not trying to force a separate luxury or air-suspension bundle, the standard, premium D07 Fixed Floor Console remains active. The system will accept this change immediately without triggering a warning message.   3)Apply Heavy-Duty Hauling Capability: Input RPO code NHT (Max Trailering Package). The commercial terminal will automatically bundle the required trailering hardware and software modules to support the diesel engine's maximum towing capacity.   5) Layer the Premium Tech and Glass: Separately add code C3U (Panoramic Power Sunroof) and code UKL (Super Cruise) to the order screen.   6) Run the Final Validation: Click the "Validate Order" button at the bottom of the interface.

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      Spent the last hour or 2 googling and reading up on the spacer thing. I don't like the loss of thread contact on the slip on spacers, but it appears you can get "extended" lug nuts that reach into the hole of the wheel to get back the lost threads. Looks like the only true hubcentric slip on spacers are at least .375". I'd want as little as I could get away with and don't want to cause other clearance issues going any thicker. Bora seems to offer what appears to be a well made .375" spacer and extended lug nuts. I searched here and did find a couple threads recommending Bora. But not cheap. By the time I buy spacers and lugs, new TPMS sensors, then pay a tire shop to install the new sensors, I suspect I'm going to be in over $400. Thinking about running out and getting some washers to put behind the wheel to see if .375" is enough to clear calipers, turn lock to lock without rubbing, and to see if the wheels/tires look strange pushed out a little. This would just be to check fitment.

      Road Master Active Suspension

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      Roadmaster makes some quality parts; I have their sway bar. I considered the RAS, but I ended up bagging. I didn't know what kind of ride I'd get with RAS, and the bags have interior jounce bumpers, so I can run 0 pounds pressure. I figured I'd have the best of normal suspension ride with assist on-demand. But it seems you got pretty much the same in one item.
