wow... long thread and now I am more confused than ever. I am looking for pics that are running stock 18's. I am looking at either a 2 or 2.25 in level with either 275 70 18 or 285 75 18 ...I only have a 4.3 so really don't want to go much bigger, just looking to level and get a little more clearance for hunting some back woods places. thanks

I'd like to know if anyone has done this also. I'd like to stay around the 2.5" lift mark

 

I have an AT with my Air dam taken off, factory Molded flaps, and my step bars taken off. I've got a pic in the 2014 Pics thread to give you an idea. Its also my Avatar pic

I too would like to change out the stock ranchos with the bilteins. I really dislike the ride after the 2inch RC spacer. I really need to get to around a 2.5 up front. Has anyone left the 2inch spacer on and mounted the bileins on the lowest or 1rst setting?

Fuse36 , do you think you could fit some 275/65/20 with the Ranchos ? Or a 295/55/20 without rub ?

yes 295 55 20 wouldn't be a problem. I believe 275 60 20 would also but not sure on 275 65 20

I installed the Rancho Quicklifts today and my wheels and tire should come in tomorrow. I'll be running 18's. We'll see if my combo works?

What size tire? After doing some more searching I might just save up a little more for the Rancho setup. Also, What brand of tire did you get, I am looking at a few, one is the Falken A/T and the other is Cooper ST Maxx.

I'm going to try 285/65-18 Nitto Trails with 0 offset.

Please keep us posted, I am using the stock rims, I need to find out if the offset will work. I am interested in the 285 setup you are doing and my other choice is 275/70-18

also curious why you didn't go with 285/70-18, its 33in. Do you think there wont be enough room?

thats actually 33.71" so it might rub. That's close

thanks, I should be good with 275/70-18 then, really looking hard at the cooper st maxx, only problem is all the snow we have I couldn't work on my truck for a little while anyways.

I have the 275/70/18 on stock rims. I went with the Hankook Dynapro. So far so good. No rubbing. We got a ton of snow and they have done really well. They look fairly aggressive but not too noisy. I'm pretty happy with them. I did measure my truck after installing the Bilsteins. 38 to front fender and 38.25 to rear. It's damn near level. I'm running lower air pressure right now with the foot of snow we have on the ground. It may come up a little more once I start playing with more air pressure. The tire dealer only put 37 lbs in the tires and I think I'll take them up to 45 and see how it rides once the roads clear up.

    • Based on what I can tell, yes.   As for updating it, its a mixed bag.  Updates do fix a lot of issues, but occasionally can create some oddities.  They do more good than harm though overall.     Here's what the most current one does and a  V171 Improvements Important: Improvements will vary by model, build configuration, system, and sales region. Not all vehicles have all features. OnStar and Wi-Fi may not work after remote start CarPlay may not automatically reconnect Part of the Driver Attention messaging screen may be in English even though the language is set to something else XM may not work After a dead 12V the radio may set to Arabic at each startup Bluetooth contacts might not be able to sync with the vehicle During an OTA the 12V battery may drain Customer might see a screen telling them to return to the dealer After changing the Wi-Fi SSID or password a device may not disconnect If a device is connected on the 2.4Ghz band, nothing will connect to the 5Ghz one, which could show as slow Wi-Fi speeds Customers might have noticed Wi-Fi dropping in certain areas and reconnecting later Customer might see the top of the screen blinking during Android Auto Android Auto may not connect CarPlay audio might momentarily cut out The "Add Phone" button may be grayed out The radio may not start up   V167 Most Notable Improvements:   Outside Air Temperature is incorrect. -You may see a popup message for Engine Shift.

Projection Wireless CarPlay cannot be connected after unpairing another wireless Android Auto device. When the Android Auto screen comes up to connect wirelessly, the screen may freeze if the Cancel button is pressed.

After receiving and ending a call on the secondary paired phone, the cluster may get stuck on the phone menu. Bluetooth Intermittent Bluetooth connection loss.
    • Looking for help troubleshooting a metallic like front end rattle. Figured I’d see if anyone had thoughts before I schedule an appointment with the dealer.   The rattle is fairly loud and occurs primarily when the front driver side wheel hits a bump, even fairly minor road seams. Sometimes does it when the passenger hits a bump but I don’t believe when the rear hits. Rattle still occurs when foot is pressing brake peddle so I think that rules out the caliper rattle I’ve read about. I’ve also checked the running boards and they are tight.   Most noticeable at slow speeds.    Any insight is appreciated. 
    • We try to make cruise the coast. It’s where our favorite casino is. I only want to spectate. Never took a car. Always had one to take. I belonged to a club once. Even when I used to drag raced. It was during test and tune. Probably because I’m not a night owl, party person. 
    • We had a pretty big cars and coffee in Indy this past weekend.  Pretty much anything and everything was there.  
    • Good looking Olds, and TRX!   I haven't been into car shows either. I'm probably not a convert but I did push myself this year to attend a few select events to challenge some assumptions and try to experience car-based social clubs in a different way. I joined up with the local Hagerty group for some cars/coffee events, group drives. A month ago I showed my '94 Camaro I rescued last fall at Radwood. Had a good time, but, there was some sitting around with the car and that's the part of shows I don't enjoy as much. I prefer to be a spectator, walk the show, grab a burger, go home.   Radwood was the only era-limited event, but where it had strict model year limitations, it made it up in variety. Having Jason Camissa there was also a hoot.   Where I see old 50's car shows, doo-wop and winga dinga music stuff fading out, same with "only" vintage muscle clubs, it seems to be the activity-based clubs/events which are gaining strong popularity. Places where all cars and interests come together.
