Question is there anything different on the z71 versus the other models of the 1500 suspension wise other than the Rancho shocks?

+12

Thanks. Looks great!  Do you happen to have any pics looking front to rear/rear to front to get an idea of the stance?  I’ve currently got stock 22’s with +24 offset and am looking to change for 18’s with either a +18 or + 12 offset to get a bit more aggressive stance.  Still undecided on which way to go...

Looks good. What's your setup? Level size? Tire size?

What wheel liners did you add?

I added the factory felt rear wheel liners to match the front.  They are a $120 OEM accessory.  The Chevy Work Truck and GMC Base model trucks don't come with the liners-instead you see the painted metal.  All the higher level trucks have the liners already.  Adding the liners helped make the truck look slightly better with respect to the rear to front rake as well.

Been lurking here for awhile, just wanted to read and learn before I asked any questions. Traded my 12’ Ram 2500 6.7 for my 17’ SLT. Rides so much nicer.

Thanks for the mud guard suggestion.  Since I have the "base" model truck, it didn't have rear wheel well liners so I added those already and now maybe I will add the mud flaps. 

here are a couple if you go that route...

 

this is what I decided on...keep in mind I'm usually only off payment for hunting and scouting...so pretty limited...but these are super easy to install and have been great:

if i were to go more off roading (or even just more consistent dirt road driving) i would have definitely opted for these...the cost difference compared to how much i would benefit from them just didn't make sense for me, but might for you:

Any rub with this setup?

I also traded a 2015 Ram 2500 6.7 with 6" Fabtech lift and 37" Mickey Thompson Deegan 38s for a 2017 SLT -- talk about a nice change! 

 

Anyway, your setup has me CURIOUS! I really like the 285/65/20.  I installed the 2" Motofab, and am now ready to purchase all terrain tires.  I have a 2wd SLT.

 

Do you rub? Asking because I have the same OEM wheels and intend to keep them.

How did your mileage react to the larger diameter and heavier tires?  What made you decide on the KO2?  I see that it is the only A/T available in 285/65/20 on tirerack.com.

Did you re-calibrate your speedometer, and, if not, how much are you off? 

 

I really have my eyes on the Continental TerrainContact A/T in a 275/60/20, as I believe it is a mild A/T with minimal size upgrade, so would have least effect on mileage and speedometer; however, your setup has me intrigued.

Some rub on the wheel well liners, easily fixed from what I've seen. Zip tie them back to cut some out with a razor blade. I had to thin the Husky flaps, most the rub was with those.

I almost went with the Pepperdust! Like I said above, some rub, simple fixes. Tires are only a week old and I'm on the same tank of gas, no mileage calcs yet. I went with these because I read a lot and kept coming back based on what people were saying about them. Plus they look good! Haven't touched the speedo yet, off about 5 mph give or take.

Can you turn the wheels with the 35’s. How much level and how much rubbing

Thanks!

Readylift 2.25 front with UCAs; 2.25 blocks in rear; Black Rhino 20x9 with Falken Wildpeak A/T3W 275/60

I'm looking at these tires. How do you like them?

How are they in the rain?

Noisy?

Thanks.

 

Also, I'm new here and it's time for tires on my truck. I'm thinking about going with the Bilstein leveling shocks. What is the consensus on them? is there a better way to level? Also, I'm planning on using 275/60/20

    • I went to order some PF63 oil filters from an on line GM parts source, and the blue PF63 oil filters seem to be getting phased out. They show the new part number as 19363567, which is a black colored AC Delco Silver product apparently marked PF63A. Some sites show a part number 12693541, which is a black colored AC Delco Ultragard Gold filter marked UPF63R.    I assume the UPF63R is the better one, but I’d be happy if I could just get blue PF63 filters I’ve been using.    Can anyone explain what is going on with the filter part number changes and any actual design changes?  Any other advice on buying OEM filters right now?  Thanks 
    • thanks for coming back and posting what the fix turned out to be.
    • Only TAN I have for the product was at 5K in service miles and it was 2.71
    • If anyone lands here looking for an update - the problem wasnt with the hose, the clamp, etc... I purchased a metal Thermostat housing that just must not of been made to spec. It just wouldn't plug up the hose.. Went back to a plastic cheap housing - leak fixed. Some plumbers tape carefully placed in tandem with a clamp likely would've gotten the job done.   Best,
    • For anyone following, this is what I have deduced from this forum - and my very specific niche case. Please do let me know if you see me going in the wrong direction here. For context, I have a 16 sierra 1500 w/t. Has TC and Cargo light switches. Removed the switch to find the X1 and X2 of the S48A connection populated with wires (x1 10-14, and x2 1-5).   Took photos of the X61A-X5 to find the wires from S48A-X1 land here at their respective pins (10, 11, 17, 23 on the X5). Was hopeful that this means my X51A fuse box has the appropriate pins... No cigar. So now I will be routing wires from the rear of the X61A-X1 to the engine bay and to their respective negative relay triggers. Please see to the diagram. If any has insight as to where the S48A-X2 pins 4 and 5 land that would be awesome.   Will be attempting this sometime shortly and will likely make a youtube video out of it.   Note: please disregard fuse sizes. Main fuse will likely be 25A, all mini bus fuses will likely be 10-15A.   Here is my parts list: GM 84347199 - TC, Cargo Light, Exhaust Brake (useless to me unless I find a means to reconfigure), Aux 1 - 4. 12V 6 Way Pre-Wired Fuse Relay Box Kit with 4 x 40A 4-Pin Relays (link below - some mods required to make negative trigger)            https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0F4KCS43B?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 Various wire sizes (12 AWG - red and black, 14 AWG, 16 AWG multi-colored bundle) Wire termination leads for X61A-X1 (unknown at this time) Crimp connectors/Soldering Gun Heat Shrink Split Wire Loom To be continued...    Cheers
