Funny, people that don't race cars assume that Brembo brakes are the shit. Then people with cars that come with oem brembo brakes think they are adequate/great. Then people who race cars know that oem brembo brakes are usually junk.

 

Point being that anything that is oem isn't going to be a premium product. Even though they have better products to sell. So rancho shocks "suck" but the only people that complain out of the hundreds of thousands of trucks sold with them are a handful on enthusiast websites...

 

Statically i would say that you're in the minority by saying they suck even if they could be better.

Looking for suggestions on rubber. Currently happy with the nitto Terra grapplers, looking for something a little more aggressive looking, but not wanting full on mud terrains rumbling down the highway at 80.

Someone suggested toyo rt's, any feedback would be greatly appreciated

Have you considered the BFG KO2's??

I had no issues with the rancho shocks on my 16' denaliHd. No ride issues here either. And they were sadly removed when the 12" lift went on. Lol

I've had the RTs on my truck since May and have ran them in dirt, rocks, mud and sand. Love them. Great on road too. Looking forward to running them in the snow soon to see how they are there.

My 2012 GT500 had the SVTPP which included Brembo brakes. They were great for your basic street driving and the occasional hard breaking. So for me I loved them but I didn't like the brake fad from the rubber brake lines. But any of the serious track and drag strip guys went to braided lines and calipers with more pistons. It's a shame sports cars don't come with Baer brakes or Wilwood stock. Brembo's are nice but I want 6 piston fronts and 4 piston reads.

I haven't had the time or opportunity to get mine off road much, but really looking forward to it. So far I'm very pleased.

Funny I would say the same thing about your post.

Ok well for one that makes zero sense, for two I wasn't calling him ignorant I was referencing the fact that he said the majority of ppl probably don't complain about rancho shocks on their trucks. He's probably right, because most ppl either aren't big enthusiasts like he said or don't know any better... hence my what I said. Good try at being cute tho.

I have 4" of lift and 33" tires. I'm running a -12 offset with Bushwacker fender flares

No rubbing issues at all. Less offset and you could fit a larger tire but with the -12 and flares it looks good. Only thing I wish I would have done different was get m/t instead of a/t

    • I have never seen GM instructions for the other trucks as per the HD with the 6 speed or the half tons but had got the impression that the HD trucks with the 6 speed were not having the same problem that the 10 speed and pan presented. Also video that I have seen of the HD 10 speed with the gas engine starting in 2024 model year showed that it was a real struggle to even make it work when pulling down hard on the exhaust after undoing the exhaust hanger bracket on the side of the transmission as after all there is little room for the pipe to even go down behind the Y joint as it soon would hit a frame cross member. Also that they had tried just like I did with the gasket off and no way was that pan coming out any way they tried to manipulate the pan. From that as well as the local transmission shop talking about the pain in the rear issue, I was not expecting my pan to come out because GM shows it was not even intended to come out without dealing with the exhaust piping.    It would be nice to claim, here's what you do and its easy to remove the pan guaranteed on any HD truck with the gas 10 speed but dollars to donuts the next guy trying what I did would not have the same luck as the exhaust was just manufactured slightly different and be pissed off at my claim that the pan comes out with no issue. Its more of a try and see if your particular truck might work like mine did .... or not !. 
    • Sorry I didn't see this until now, but it works on both the 6 speed and 10 speeds, as well as all the half tons too.
    • Hello, I have a 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 that I recently changed both motor mounts on due to the driver's side being blown out. After replacement I seem to have a steady vibration that I can feel in the pedals and the back of the seat. At this point I'm convinced that the aftermarket "Anchor" branded mounts I used are not performing as well as OE, the only real reason I ended up using the mounts in question was because my local dealers were out a few months to get a Driver's side mount. I've tried "Neutralizing" the mounts according to the motor mount TSB published for these truck to no avail. My trans mount is also in great shape and seems to be absorbing vibrations swimmingly. As far as I can tell there is no issues idling, my idle RPM is steady and I've recently put GM plugs and wires on, however, I have not cleaned the throttle body or intake valves. Any one else have a similar experience with aftermarket mounts? Patience certainly is a virtue that I wish I exercised here. Thank you!
    • I still saw people out for runs, on their bikes/motorcylces, jeeps with the doors off driving around here the past 2 days. I guess we are just used to it here haha.   Tasted like a bonfire the last 2 days.
