09 Sierra All Terrain Transformation

after taking off the molded GM mudflaps, I went with no flaps for a while but found that I was getting too many rock chips and the truck was getting too dirty.

 

I bought some all black (no chrome) croc mudflaps for the front and the back, and they look awesome.

 

pics to come

how do you like the tires?

[jarettg]

The winter tires are great. IMO its worth the $1000 to run two sets of tires as both sets are going to last about 70k each. Winter tires are designed for the winter, and are way better than the duelers I had on before.

 

I am just getting my BFG A/T tires on today and will post the new truck height soon. 285/65R18.

[jarettg]

Tires are on, here are the new fender heights:

 

FL 40.25"

FR 40.5"

RL 41.5"

RR 41.75"

 

I got an extra inch of height with the new tires

[jarettg]

so from what i can calculate my truck now sits about 4.25" higher than stock. not bad for only spending around $350. approx $170 on BL, $60 on level, $120 on rear blocks, and i sold my stock rear blocks for $80, so it cost me around $270 not including the new tires.

 

i will get some new photos up when the weather cooperates and i can also show the new blacked out mud flaps.

All kinds of nice

[vkjohnson]

looks great. My truck sits a little lower on the driver side too...about 1/2 inch. Imagine it's cus the full fuel tank. It's enough to notice if you're looking for it.

[jarettg]

old vs new

 

yeah the sag on the drivers side is because of the fuel tank. i can only notice it if im looking from the back

 

i think i am pretty happy with it thus far. i may get some side steps as my wife is having a tough time getting in

[pilsner]

do you get any rub with the 285s?

[jarettg]

yeah when the tires are fully turned when entering and exiting the driveway

[jarettg]

I just installed the Bilstein 5100 adjusting shocks on the front, set at 0.50" as i still have the RC 2" level on. Now i have 2.5" of liftin the front, and 1.75" in the rear, with 1.25" body lift all around.

 

ground to fender heights:

 

Front 40.75"
Rear 41.75"

 

I have also tuned with Superchips Cortex 2950 (awesome),installed a cat back dynomax system with VT muffler (which is great), weathertech front and rear digital fit floor mats and N-fab wheel to wheel side steps.

 

​Perfect rake and height. Ill post pictures when i get a chance.
