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"

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...

    • Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.

    • Looking for this part for my truck. They don't sell just that one piece and to get it you have to pay over $100 even used for the whole air tube. The piece the hose clamp snaps into that is held on by the screw and nut. If anyone has access to one please let me know.
