Good Lord, and don't put any weight in the bed either, it may change the geometry of the suspension.

The described her tires as large and could potentially be harmful to her drivetrain as well.

 

But....275/60/20s are only slightly larger then stock. Lol and she has a level not a lift kit.

So i put my RC 2" level kit and Toyo 295/55/20's on this weekend. Install was simple, just like on my 2011. It definitely helps to have an extra set of hands when wedging that spacer in there. 295/

Thanks. Here is one more from yesterday. Considering we're getting 8-10 inches of rain the next two days, I won't be taking any better pics soon.

I remember years ago when my cable provider wouldn't service my modem because I had a wireless router. The same provider now supplies wireless routers. I think your dealer is out of date in meeting customer needs. Dealerships in my area have progressed from bad mouthing level kits to supplying and installing. "Lead, follow or get out of the way!" You should take your service elsewhere. Maybe it will help promote change!

It helps to know what you are taking about as well. They take advantage of my girl cause she isn't truck savvy as i am. Wait till i get home!!! Haha

 

And i know man i had to deal with that yesterday with my ISP. I finally got fed up over the phone amd said "look lady i have 2 college degrees in computer hardware and networking.... The problem is on your end!!!" finally sent out a tech and turns out it was something they changed om the modem (that i couldn't get into... Port blocking) my router is worth x3 what their modem is lol

Wow, this definitely changes things lol.

The dealer I've been talking to is not the one I purchased the truck through. I bought my truck 4 hours from here but they were very easy to deal with, I guess I'll maybe be making the 4 hour drive.

Looks great! I believe a 1.5 to 2 inch level is a perfect stance for these trucks. The wheels look great as well, however I think the size would be too much of a power drain on my 4.3!

Who all is running a 1.5"? I think that's what I've decided to go with and still have about 1/2"-3/4" of rake.

I plan on installing a 1.5 but I was figuring on being left with an inch of rake.

After measuring mine 2" would be about perfectly level. That's why I'm leaning towards the 1.5"

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By dieselfan1 · Posted

      2026 3500HD.  Mostly empty. Grocery getter. What tire pressure are you running for 37x12.50x20. I have 37x12.50R20 Toyo Open  Country RT pro and been running around 55 lbs front and rear and it's too much. Tires are wearing more in the middle. Toyo says 45 front and 50 rear. Chalk test and it's still too much. I lowered it to 40 front 44 rear see what happens.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      With large equipment or deep mud it is more of a use the higher gear to avoid spinning tires, getting stuck because of spinning tires and doing damage to your machine. The idea is if you run out of torque before you spin tires you can still downshift for more torque. If you are just spinning your tires in the lowest available gear you are stuck and things break.   Automatic transmissions, traction control and electronic transfer cases change the calculation a little as you the driver have less control over each piece.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆
