Thanks man. The wheels are the 20x9 XD Badlands (5.75 back space) with 295/55r20 Trail Grapplers. I had them on my old Silverado with a level kit for about 6 months and then traded for this new one. Had the dealer put my wheels on the 2014 and looked killer. Now with the new lift the tires are too small. I'm kind of tired of the m/ts too like one mentioned earlier. Going to move to the 295/65r20 Toyo OC AT II tires soon and a 4.56 gear. The bank account is dropping fast.

Just got a question for all you lifted guys do you still have the problems that are described in the "Shake or vibration" thread in the problem section?

I have not a single hiccup with my steering or suspension. Tracks straight down the road.. No weird noises or vibration at any speed or over any bumps... Hit or miss if I had to guess.. I've read some info in that thread as well.. I'[m 99% back to stock ride even when lifted 8".... Come take it for a test drive haha

I recently ordered a Performance Accessories body lift kit with their leveling kit to add a total of 5 inches of height. I also ordered some rigid industries LED Fogs with adapter bracket so I'll be uploading some pictures soon.

What lift do you have?

Does anyone have 295/60/20 tires on stock rims with any rubbing issues with just a leveling kit?

I also have a Black Bear 91+ octane tune, 4.10 gears, cold air intake, and exhaust. 35-60mph its 17-20mpg. 60-80mph its 13-15mpg.

Where'd you get the 4.10 gears from? And how much? I'm thinking of doing a a set up like yours and will also want the larger gears. I currently have the 3.42s but heard changing to the 4.10s will save some mileage

Brett did his the same place I did and bought the parts through East Coast Gear. Going to cost you around $2300 for a 4x4. If you can wait for someone to come out with gears for the 14 it will be less because you won't need the extra parts; new locker, u-joint conversion and spacer for the diff cover. Just find a good shop, I have another set waiting to go in mine because the shop I used hosed up 3 sets now. Brett's went great though using the same shop, I personally think they just got lucky on his.

In reference to suspension lifts: Is anyone running aftermarket leafs in the back? If so which ones? I get some pretty bad axle wrap with the 5" blocks and add-a-leaf that is in mine now; It don't like the torque from the 4:56 gears. I need to keep it around 5" lift over stock so a 6"-6.5" leaf pack is what I am looking for.

Got any idea on when 4.10 gears may come out for our 14s?
