I have a 2016 silverado 1500 4x4 Z71 Crew Cab 5.3 with a lift/level kit, 2.75" block on struts up front and added leaf spring in the rear. Also has an aftermarket front bumper (not sure if that matter much for clearance issues as it seems most issues occur on the cab side of the fender) current tires are 285/65r18 Kelly Safari TSRs. Due for a new set of shoes here soon and I'm curious if I would be able to clear a 295/70r18 Cooper Evolution A/T..specs on the Coopers say it is a 12.0" wide and 34.3" tall tire. I would be adding 2" KSP Hubcentric wheel spacers on my stock 18s. Thanks in advance for any help! Looking to order new tires within the next 2 weeks here.

Sometimes in life - you just gotta send it.....

 

2015 Chevy Silverado 1500 5.3L V8 Z71 with newly installed Toyo Open Country AT3 35x11.5r20s on just a 2.5" RC Level.  Yea I said it - just the level - no RUB.  And no difference in ride quality on highway or just intermediate roads.  AT3s run smooth and are way quieter than Ridge Grapplers.

This is my ‘17 Sierra Z71 SLT crew short bed. 2” HaloLifts coilovers in the front with their rear shocks on a stock block.  I have the +1” block if I do ever decide to throw a shell on the back or find myself hauling more. Running 275/70R18 ko2s on 18” Raceline 946 Boost wheel with -12 offset.  Really wanting to go 295/70 on my next set of tires but really don’t want to worry about having to trim anything. Also have the Diablo tuner set to their 87+ tune. I think the next item on my list will be to replace my aluminum running boards with Go Rhino RB 20 running boards, probably sometime in the spring.

I need to take some pics.

 

I finally got around to putting on the Bilstein 5100s fronts and rears. I adjusted the front to the highest setting, 1.85”. I’m running Nitto Recon Grapplers and I still have some rubbing at full lock on the UCAs, especially in reverse.

IMG_0388.thumb.jpeg.f2416194efa390577f81d10b92982528.jpegI have a 2018 Silverado LT which had a 3” rake and used a 2” front end lift by Moto Fab. I run stock 17 wheels and Yokohama X-AT 265/70R17 OW:10.50.

Next tire change I will go to 275/70.

Hello everyone, I have a 2018 Silverado Ltz Z71. Currently has stock 20s on it. I have a 2.5 Inch leveling kit with add a leaf in the rear form Auto Spring, as well ordered a set of Bilstein 5100 for the front  to swap out. Id like to run a set of Trail boss rims on my truck, preferably 18s but would run the 20s if i have to. I have had a few people recommend me to run new upper control arms due to the lift. Anyone have recommendations on Ucas? I'm planning on running 275/70r18 or 275/60r20 depending on rim size. I'm relatively new to backspacing/offset stuff. Looking at different Uca's most say you cant run stock rims with some others make no mention. Thanks for the help everyone.

Hey all, I've got a 2015 LTZ 4x4 and have been running a Readylift 2.25" level with the top and bottom spacers. Just ordered the Eibach pro kit this morning after finding a leaky shock. I'll be leaving the clip on the lowest setting for 2.5" and am looking at/wondering if I should also do UCA's. I'd like to improve the ride but more so want to keep my angles right and help preserve ball joints. I've got stock 20" wheels with 305/55 and know I'll more than likely have to throw in a 1" spacer until I get new wheels/tires to clear almost any of them. I've really been looking at Kryptonite and Readylift, also Motofab/KSP/Cognito but the Cognito instructions look like a warning label with max shock measurement, limiting straps, trimming shock tower etc. just so much more than the other companies for whatever reason. I don't care about the price just want the right one that's going to last, if that's a Motofab with Moog's in it, so be it. Any experience greatly appreciated, TIA.

I have the Eibach Pro Truck stage 1 kit on my truck. I have roughly 50k miles on them with the stock aluminum UCA and my ball joints are still tight at 104k miles. 
When/ if my upper ball joints need replacing I plan to go with the Superlift UCAs. They are an aluminum arm similar to my factory arms but with increased ball joint angle. Be careful with some of the fabricated arms. They won’t clear positive offset wheels.

    • More is cylinder deactivation. Kia-Hyundai Ive had 4. The warranty is the same 10 years 100K miles. My grandson drives the first one 05 Elantra GT. My wife drives the second one 2011 Genesis. The Genesis still performs as new and looks great. The Elantra looks rough. He’s not kind to it. The third was a Genesis coup. The fourth was a Santa Fe. Those were my daily drivers. I don’t keep them long. Kia is the same as Hyundai with the same warranty. I looked at the K-4 today. Too small, otherwise pretty good buy. Most of Hyundai and Kia’s have a performance upgrade. 
    • Thanks for the point of reference 
    • Great question. Answer....depends. One the volume of the crankcase, the driver that will actually be using the vehicle and the amount it uses plus the distance expected for that next trip. Couple of for instances:   Wife is going to drive Dizzy to Moline and back plus a bit around town so say 500 miles on the day. I know from years with that SUV that around town and local rural it uses about a quart in 1250 miles. But on the Interstate and her at the wheel without her anchor nagging her she'll push it and it will drop a quart in about 800 miles. Hence, around town I wait to somewhere between a quarter down to a quart down. On her trip I'd top it if it was down a few ounces and hope for the best.    Have I overfilled one? You mean by adding before it needs a full quart I assume. No, not once after finding the true fill mark.  I know the dipsticks of everything I drive and add what it needs. I learn this by doing the first oil change a quart low. Run the motor for a few minutes. Let it sit over night. Check and mark. Then add half a cup at a time making note of the place on the stick. I add through the dipstick tube with a barbeque basting bottle. Give it a few minutes to drain down and check again.    A vehicle like Dizzy that uses this much oil will take a few quarts between 3K changes. I keep one in the vehicle with the bottle and a bag. (Mindful of it's fullness) Not a big deal and never makes a mess of it. There is no such thing as "multiple quarts' in my shop for any specific oil. There will be a maximum however of the number of different oils used over the fleet.     Dizzy holds a nominal 5 quarts. So the first fill was indeed over as it actually took 4.75. My vehicles are fit with Valvomax valves so I can meter an ounce on the drain if need be. Found her mark first crack at it. Never to be repeated.    Pepper uses none between changes so I don't keep a quart in that one. Straight up 6 quarts put her dead on the full line. Check it ever fuel stop. They will surprise you when they start using.    Raven holds 3 liters or 5.44 ounces over three quarts. I add 3 quarts and 6 ounces. That gives me 5 oil changes on my orphan quart.    Lawnmower holds about 3/5 of a quart. I don't over fill it to prevent an orphan. So yea, depends. 
    • 185k on original 6.2L engine and 10 speed. 6" lift with 35" tires. Changed oil (Mobil 1 synthetic) when truck told me to. Original tranny with original fluid and no service or flush done. All highway miles. A/C compressor replaced at 155k. Oil cooler line replaced at 180k. Still daily driver. Love this truck.   This is my 3rd 6.2L vehicle (2008 Yukon Denali / 2018 Cadillac Escalade) with over 150k miles and no issues. Denali had broken motor mount at 100k.
