appreciate your help! hopefully solves the cement truck ride issue haha :)

love how my truck looks but just need the ride to be improved even a bit. one little bump and you feel it through the cab, jumps everywhere.

Here's my bone stock 2015 Sierra All-Terrain "before" pictures for reference. Plans are 2.5" RC kit up front, gonna leave the stock blocks in the back. I'll swap for the RC blocks if I have less than 0.5" rake or looks "nose high".

It's also getting 295/55r20 (33x11.5) Toyo AT2 Xtreme tires on stock 20's and black Bulletproof offset mud flaps. Should be done after the weekend, I'll report back with "after" pictures and measurements.

I installed the top gun customz on our truck... just the 2 inch. works great.

 

All steel.

I'm about to install the top gun customz 2.5 inch, any issues or tips you can give on the install? Also, how's the ride now?

I love the stance of the truck now. The LT tires are great but you'll feel every bump in the road being a z71. Fuel mileage is around 19-20 highway and around 15-16 city

Thanks for the picture, they look good. Picking mine up tomorrow. Did you have them on before level? I haven't leveled mine yet, can't decide on 2" or 2.5"

Yea I was running them before the lift without any rubbing.

NoTyme - Nitto makes a 305-55-20XL Terra Grappler which are 33.2" tall and 12.4" wide and are extra load 4ply tire and not an LT 10 ply. These weigh in at 49lbs. Pretty happy medium, and I think this will be my next set of tires.

Thanks, I do like that height but I don't think 305/55 will work on my stock rims. I will be using Hollander 5308 wheels with my new tires and the ones in the photo are my winter shoes. I think my 5308's are 8.5 wide... Maybe even the offset won't be enough.

Anyone running 305/55 R20's on stock GM wheels?

Before you level and get bigger wheels... Here's a real world # heading North on 75 doing 75 with a set of LTs. There was a north wind of about 10mph this evening. I lost about 4-5 mpg average. LT 275-70-18 Nitto's. My speedo is off by 2 mph as well. d69a687737dc1071cbf634797bf61181.jpg

I got the 1 and a quarter leveling kit on my 2014 only on the front and im looking into buying a bigger set of rims and tires. what the biggest tire I can get for 20 inch rims? Also I would like to get a nice offset on the rims that stick out past the fenders a little bit. Any ideas guys?

Wow! Looks good, and with just the 2" level up front? I might be changing my mind... Do you know the width of them wheels? I got to do some new research... My Hollander 5308's are 8.5" wide (I believe) and have a 31 mm offset. If them tries fir on 8.5" wheels I may have found my next set of tires...

    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
