This is the Mazulla off road skid plate set up. Replaced the entire lower valance and they offered an optional tube front bar separately that I decided to go with (will have to paint or powder coat)

You can get from Kartek or SDHQ or mazulla directly. Big improvement. Couldn’t stand that valance.

sounds good i tried to email SDHQ but never heard back in far away and was hoping it was crazy on cost. I want the SDHQ skid cause it has the cutouts for the tow hooks and comes with the second skid for your front diff/oil pan

Call them. They get busy during the races as they’re always on site at tech with their employees.

Super happy. After I made a second skid for the oil pan haha
. I loved the front tube option so I went with mazulla. Install takes a bit but worth it in the end.

What tires are you planning on running with that kit? Also, I see that you're in MD.  Who is doing the install.

 

In other news, did anyone see the pictures on the Readylift FB page a couple of weeks ago claiming that someone was running the 35x11.50 Ridge Grapplers on stock rims with no rubbing and only their 2.25" kit???

My plans are to ditch the 20’s and run 275/70/18 I’m thinking falken wildpeak at3w. I don’t want to do any trimming. Did that in my last truck and I kinda want to stick to an at and get the mileage out of it and still have some capability. I am in western Maryland and I have a friend who is the mechanic at global truck outfitter he did the install for me.

Congrats.
Or don’t run the front plate cause it takes away a lot of the cosmetic improvements you just paid a fortune for. I haven’t run one in 15yrs
Fix it ticks aren’t that bad here in Cali though.

I had an add a leaf from a different company that was very good. It raised the rear 1 1/4”.

 

FYI, the front had a TGC 2.5” level in this pic. I eventually went to a 2” level and 1” rear block because I didn’t like the loss of factory ride and decreased range level of travel in the front at 2.5”. The increased clearance I ended up with is exactly what I wanted and I’m happy with the setup with the bigger LTZ stock wheels and tires.

Where did you get the rear block? It's really a 2" block to replace the factory block correct?

Got it from an off road store. Yes it’s a Readylift 2.25” block, which the salesperson referred to as a plus one.

so I just leveled the truck with 2.25 readylift and I'm starting to looking at wheels and tires for after winter. I'm thinking 285/70/17 Falken Wildpeak AT3W on Method Double Standards 17x8.5 0 offset. i want to run front flaps but I don't want to do any trimming unless its to the flap. Is anyone running anything similar that can get me some input. My second setup choice would be 275/70/18's just want to ditch the 20's need more tire and less wheel. Thanks

I’ve got the same 2.25” level, running Nitto Ridge Grapplers 285/60/20’s =34”. Barely rubs on the felt liner when backing up on incline. Anything taller will definitely rub fender edge requiring at least a lift.

    • I'm tangentially aware of what Harley used to be, back in my riding days, although I was into Italian sport bikes. Ducati seems to have gone the other way; still very expensive, but they've made a large subset of their bikes a lot more reliable and accessible, and they've diversified their lineup to include other riding sports too. IMO, a good example of where greed and growth might have also been beneficial to the consumer.   Although GM is charging a relative premium for its most popular pickups, I find that there are some excellent value propositions in its lineup as well.   The Colorado still strikes me as the most attractive midsize on the market, and also the most reasonably priced given capability and features. There's a part of me that wishes I would have bought one instead of my Silverado.   The Equinox ...I must be getting old. The ICE equinox is a great design IMO. Probably because it reminds me visually of an actual SUV aka an S Blazer. Underneath it's nothing even remotely close, but it LOOKS good. It's got all the modern features plus some at a very reasonable price. If I had to run out and buy myself a daily commuter to do everything except tow, an Equinox would be on my list.   It does bug me that mid-tier 1500's reach into the 50-60k range, and Tahoes and Burbs are even more expensive. Less than 10 years ago, dealers were sitting on rows of Tahoe LS and LT's for low 40's. You could even still find Tahoes with a front bench, still!
    • Big oil is raking in billions from the Iran war. Can it avoid Trump’s fury?   Remember I said Big Oil is 'Vertically Integrated"?   Even as they no longer own the majority of the "Pump" they still own the "Well". Crude price upward pressure does not translate into that same pressure on production. Pumping cost remain unaffected and the gap is pure profit. Even after subtraction of a minor, comparatively, lower amount from supposed, but not always, realized refining volume. Consumers hate war, Big Oil, not so much.
    • We live in a world where the average person expects more. People say wages and our needs are farther apart. My first new home had 3 bedrooms and one bedroom. My first car and truck had what would be considered a stripped or work vehicle. In my neighborhood back then there were more homes like that and cars too. Middle managers and second home buyers worked their way up to the fancy houses and cars. Car loans were 3 years. GM had different models of cars for different income levels. The cars were pretty much the same size if you wanted a big vehicle. The nameplate designated the opulence. Chevy, Pontiac, Buick, Oldsmobile and Cadillac.  To be fair some of the cost is government mandated. We can’t blame them for giving us what people will pay for. Careful advertising steering people towards more profitable SUVs and trucks. As I learned recently a minivan is a cheaper more efficient form of transportation. Certainly easier to live with. Somebody realized the profit margin wasn’t as big and gave it a soccer mom label. So it lost its coolness. They’re making it the masses are buying it. You hit your hand with a hammer you can’t blame the hammer.
    • Hi All, I’m In need of advice regarding a scan result on my 2023 Silverado HD.  The Sensor Supply voltage relay states ON But…. the following 3 tests show Malfunction. Sensor supply voltage relay control circuit HIGH voltage Test status- Malfunction Sensor supply voltage relay control circuit LOW voltage Test status- Malfunction Sensor supply voltage relay control circuit OPEN test status - Malfunction. No DTC codes are stored. No DIC Lights. Remote Key Fob has been giving a few issues, namely Vehicle will not respond to an Open/Lock command from the key fob. New batteries installed to FOB made no difference, plus on one occasion recently the vehicle unlocked using the Fob, the vehicle started normally via the push button, then a random warning came up on the DIC stating the Remote Key was not found, all this while the key was located next to the central cup holders. Does anyone have any input or advice regarding this scenario? TIA
