Looks really good! What size wheels and tires are they? And I actually like the black grill that is on that truck.

Thanks!

The tires are 305/55/20's

 

hey django do your tires rub with that kit

 

Rubbed in reverse wheel turned hard right at the Left front wheel well forward. Pushed the plastic inner shroud forward by hand no rubbing now but still very close. I need to zip tie it or use a additional push-in fastener to secure it forward permanently.

 

 

 

is that with 35 inch tires

 

33"

 

you have rub with 33s on a 6inch kit

 

Just the front left with the wheel turned all the way to the right rubs on the outer crown of the tire. Could have been the inner plastic shroud just loose. Like I said I just pushed it forward with my hand stopped the rubbing but it is still close. It is the width of the tires that causes the rubbing issues more than the diameter on these late model GM trucks. I will snap a photo were the tight spot is and upload it if it ever stops raining here in Detroit.

The rubbing is probably caused by the backspacing of your wheels more then anything. Do you happen to know the backspacing?

I don't know the back spacing but you are probably right. The tires do stick out past the wheel wells a bit more than the stock ones did. You don't hear or feel it going forward but the Nitto's aggressive tread catches the bottom edge and makes a bit of a noise in reverse.

Here are a few photo's of the tightest spot.

Let a heat gun be your friend. Warm it up and form it with a piece of wood or your hand..With a glove on of course. :lol:

 

P.S. Nice clean truck. :cheers:

Those wheels are 9" wide and have 0mm offset (5" backspacing).

 

That's why i still needed to trim with 305/50/20 (stock height, just wider) on a 3" body lift. NO way would i have been able to keep my 305/55/20 ATZs with these wheels.

I have the rancho lift that nets a little better than five inches and I rub exactly like that with 33x12.5's on 5" backspacing. Let me know what you decide to do to fix the rub.. it isnt bad so I havent fixed mine yet but I am interested to see what others do and how it looks and works out..

@ Django :

 

A nice combo you have...my question is : does a 6" lift and 33" tires fit into a 7ft garage?

 

Thanks,

Fits in the garage through the 7' door no problem!

The clearance is just a tad under 81"

I do like the color on that truck, what is it?
Even with 33's, that truck still looks good. I think I might get 33's next time around instead of 35's.

      Enjoy the new truck, it’s a beauty. I’m glad you’re keeping the OBS, I love those old trucks.

      With large equipment or deep mud it is more of a use the higher gear to avoid spinning tires, getting stuck because of spinning tires and doing damage to your machine. The idea is if you run out of torque before you spin tires you can still downshift for more torque. If you are just spinning your tires in the lowest available gear you are stuck and things break.   Automatic transmissions, traction control and electronic transfer cases change the calculation a little as you the driver have less control over each piece.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.
