Been brainstorming as to what I want to do with my truck... Here are a few things that will be happening... Gmc 20s with 305 55s, bb tune, nav, black leather interior, and I also want to get my GMC logo painted white.

 

I was thinking about getting a 4 inch BDS lift, but do y'all think the tires I am getting would look too small with the body lift and suspension?

 

OR should I just get the GMC 20s and 305 55s and leave the height of my truck as is?

 

Thanks!

All sounds good, but I would do a Black GMC instead.

 

No more lift either.

I thought about a black gmc, but after seeing white on white :thumbs:

Don't paint it. Take a look at this post I have some pics of my truck. http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=125816

Look at the mirror caps. I used vinyl, the stuff you make decals out of and wrapped it. Much easier to under if necessary. Also if it fades, cracks, chips whatever, you can just redo it yourself. Just get a decent heat gun to pull the vinyl over the letters. I am going to do it to my truck when it gets warmer out

all of your plans sound great! i love leather interior! i'm planning on installing black leather interior on my truck as well... a friend of mine has a 08 silverado ext cab with a 4" suspension lift with 20" wheels and 33" toyo mtr tires... ill try to get a picture of it so you'll know how a 4" lift will look with 33" tires with aftermarket rims (the rims help a lot on how big the tire will look)... but if you want some stock 20" inch rims i wouldnt recommend a lift you'll end up having a big gap to fill... that being said, i think a 4" body lift is waayy too much for a body lift with no suspension lift! if you dont need a body lift to clear the tires dont do it.. just put some nice mud-terrain 33" tires to the stock 20 rims and leave the height you have right now and it will look awesome! for me body lift only helps you a little to clear tires cause it leaves the same ground clearance so you're not actually lifting the truck! ohh and btw great looking nerf bars!

A 3"BL along with a 4" BDS nets 7" or a bit more, depending on the suspension lift, and most six inch lifts net more than 6". So... I say rock that combo if you want. These trucks look great IMO with 6" lifts and 33's.

He is talking true 33x12.5's. They look much bigger than 33x11.5's in person, which is what you are running. I think your truck looks great though. :thumbs:

You'll think you're driving a different truck after the BB tune. And if you get the Autocal you'll be able to switch between tuned and stock whenver you want. That'd be my first choice. :cool:

 

Enjoy whatever you do! :thumbs:

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.
