Hey Guys, Figured I'd post this here too.

I have 4 brand new never mounted still have stickers on the tires Goodyear Duratracs. These tires are 325/60/20 and are "35 tires. I had planned on using this on my next setup but decided I want to do 38" tires.
So the cost me $1960. I know I cant get that back so I think 1400 is more than fare. That over $500 dollars off brand new tires.
I live in Greenville/Simpsonville South Carolina and will drive a hour to meet up or you can come get them. Best time to contact is mornings. feel free to text. Text 864-360-one nine 8 five

I do have them posted in the ForSale forum.

You'll need to provide a lot more information than that, too many variables.

Jnach, have you went with a larger tire yet? I am debating on doing the zone and stuffing 35" dia tire in there. Hoping to see what the truck looks like with meatier tires and the stock chrome wheels like you have.

No I haven't yet but I'm planning on a a Toyo soon :)

Hey guys, So I am going to be lifting my 2016 Silverado 1500 5.3L LTZ Z71 with a Zone 4.5'' lift within the next week or so. I am wanting to fit as much tire under it as possible. I see Zone's website says I can fit 33x12.5x18 with my stock rims, but I was hoping to fit 35's. It says I have to have a 20x9 wheel with 5.75 backspace in order to fit 35x12.5x20.

 

I have a few questions & concerns. I received multiple quotes and most are ranging around 2400-2500 with Lift + Fox 2.0 Rear Shocks + Alignment + Labor. I've seen this is on the highend as far as labor goes, but I don't think I have many options since I want it done correctly by professionals. I'm also thinking I will get the lift first and see how small my 265x65x18's look under it to see if I actually want 33's or 35's.

 

Next is gearing. Should I regear if I put 33's or 35's under the 4.5'' Lift? I know nothing about regearing except the little bit that I have read through these forums. I have also gone through all 213 pages of the suspension lift topic. I also will not be doing much offroading outside of hauling bicycles down some dirt roads to trails.

 

It just seems like a whole lot more money involved when lifting and wanting bigger tires that I had assumed. I've seen some people fit 35's under a 4.5'' Zone Lift with minor rubbing that they ziptied or small trim, I'm just stuck going back and forth in my head trying to justify all of this.

 

Any input or help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks guys!! I cross posted to my own topic just in case.

Can't speak for the Zone 4.5" pricing, but that price is about what I paid for my 6" BDS lift on my Denali.

 

As far as re-gearing, I wouldn't worry too much about it. I have 35's (and a 5.3 with the 8 speed tm & 3.42's) and power is fine in my eyes. I also did intake, exhaust & a tune to compensate.

I have a 5.3L , but have no idea what gear combo. It's a stock 2016 1500 Z71 LTZ 5.3L. I really wish I could get $1700 or even $2000 out the door. I live around St Louis, MO and apparently all the shops love to get paid.

I also live in STl. I will be interested to see what/who you actually find to do it for a reasonable offer. Do you know any reputable local muffler shops? Looking to get that done as well.

Nice! I'll keep you posted as far as suspension lift quotes. I had my dealership put on the Borla Cat Back Exhaust for me, and they actually only charged like 1 hour for labor. I'll ask a few of my buddies to see if they have any recommendations.

What dealer? I bought from and use Dave Sinclair GMC. I have yet to get a quote from them but will shortly when I take my truck in for maintenance.

    • HD at the moment, are kinda their own deal.  How LTZ sells on those vs on 1500, there is a difference.   They are merging most of the mid trims on 1500.  LT, RST and LTZ are replaced by one trim, Silverado.  LT and RST are a BIG portion of sales.    Bad naming choice aside, the new Silverado trim will offer the spread of options that those three trims offered.  So expect to see things like the tech package for example, and memory seats.  And LT Trail Boss will now just be "Trail Boss" (formerly LT Trail Boss) but will offer content spread like the new Silverado trim will.  The press photos showed the Trail Boss (formerly LT Trail Boss) has access to Super Cruise now, which on the current truck was High Country only.       Here is the Trail Boss interior.  Memory seats and Super Cruise are present.  All things the LT Trail Boss it replaces, and the RST it was based on didn't get on the current gen.  You had to go to LTZ or ZR2 for memory seats, and High Country for Super Cruise.      
    • I installed a Hellwig rear sway bar on my 21 Sierra SLT, it made a huge difference on how the truck handles, no body roll, the trucks much more planted now. Not sure of the suspension differences between the 21 and 26,  if its body roll your having a sway bar will solve it. 
    • So a follow up and my fix. I found in online searches the live data to look at on a scan tool to verify the fuel tank pressure sensor was working.  It showed an spec number towards the lower end of the rang, but in spec.  Then while it was running opened the gas cap and the pressure should change.  It didn't change even a tiny bit.  The data for the purge valve said it was open...never changed. So then I measured the voltages on the plug for the fuel pressure sensor and they matched what it should be.  So local car quest parts had the sensor in stock...it was a bit of a pain to remove and an even bigger one to get it to actually go back in.  It helped to unbolt the driveshaft and bungie cord away from the gas tank to give a bit more room to work. So fuel tank pressure sensor in I cleared the code, and started it up.  I went to the scan tool's live data and... Eureka! The pressure number was different and fluctuated a bit.  So took it on a short drive and pressure number varied saw the purge valve go from closed to open and back to closed.  Drove it to and from work for roughly a week plugged in the scan tool no codes.  I took it in to get tested and passed.  In my state's infinite wisdom (oops meant greed), since I pushed the test with the maximum extensions I have to take it back in by Feb '27 to 'get it back up to date', then my next test won't be until Feb '29. 
    • Any grease on the stud threads of any kind?   Wheel studs should have NOTHING on them for proper torquing and so the nuts don't back off.     Are all of the mating surfaces clean?  So wheel, rotor and hub?     We've had plenty of trucks at work with that wheel, this is a first to me.  Makes me think they've got a lube tech putting anti-seize on all the wheel studs or some kind of grease, and they need to stop doing that.  To have 11 other trucks with the same exact problem.      
    • I was a Chevy guy for years, then switched to GMC because I liked the looks better.  I'm actually thinking I like the Chevy looks better than GMC for the first time in a lot of years.   One thing I know for certain, the new GMC dash is hideous!  Chevy wins this one!
