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.

    • Length/amount of data capture will be important to consider, sifting through 5 minutes of a data log can be enormous when it is stored in milliseconds. Being able to find the 'event' let alone decipher it.   Presumably the driver would notice something and hit a button to capture the 'window' of data. That window has to be large enough for the operator to recognize the event and react accordingly.    The data has to be able to be retrieved easily.   The data has to be able to be understood. Which is the biggest challenge, dealer techs won't even know what most of it is and would likely not even look at it if an owner brought it to them. Meaning the owner, the least educated/qualified, trying to understand it.    How will the data be presented? Could specific PIDs be selected and a timelapse graph be watched? How will a specific value be noted as abnormal? Additionally, a good data logger would be able to 'learn' normal values for a specific vehicle and flag abnormalities automatically. It could in theory watch parameters degrade over time and suggest maintenance as needed. (If the MAF reading begins tapering off for a given set of other readings - MAP, throttle position, Ambient, etc.. a flag to check air filter.) With the amount of data available, a device (really the vehicle rather than an additional accessory) should be able to do more than issue a DTC. It should be able to run the full diagnostic suite automatically and present a solution rather than a code. (It's not the 90's anymore). The technology is available for the vehicle to not just say "P0087", it should know low fuel pressure, check other PIDs to narrow down the problem itself, and determine if it is a lift pump, high pressure pump, regulator, leak in the fuel line, clogged filter, etc. Even if it can't narrow it down, it should be able to guide the user to the likely problems.   This would be a major problem for dealer service departments, which are the manufacturers customers it is in their collective best interest to NOT have this available to the consumer.   Further, if the owner is going to be the primary consumer of the data, it's got to be at a consumer price point vs. dealer only specialty tool price.   This group is more 'involved' in their vehicle than general public/consumer and will have knowledge, experience, needs and desires that are quite different from the market at large.   
    • I put the prof up. If you read what I posted. You can see that housing, cars and income are in line with the era we were talking about. It’s harder in some places easier in others. Let’s agree to disagree and put this back on track, OK? We both are pretty stubborn and hard headed. But I bring receipts. If you wish I will not respond to you in the future. 
    • Lets see if I can sum up two pages of nothing useful.    You want to refute your own governments data of the "Purchasing Power" Index FOR THE ENTIRE USA and its territories replacing it with the experience of a single family and its business and label that reality?  Then pound on that for a week hoping it will find traction?    Stan, I've told you several times. I don't do irrational. There are more people in the USA than your family.    I'm pretty sure this tread is so blown up. I'll give you a few days or months if need be to post yourself silent then I'll see if I can find enough parts of the train to reassemble it. 
    • Facebook groups hate VSE, poor customer service; their responses to criticisms are pretty poor for a reputable company. I'm not a customer, haven't bought anything from them, but how they handle themselves on social media is a definite "No" for me. 
    • $10,000 for a transmission?   Pretty sure I could buy all the parts, tools, and education to rebuild it myself for a quarter of that amount.   or swap it out with a new one...
