Thats the best I have right now. They do sling mud on the side of the truck, the only way I would do 0 offset is if I was going to do a bigger lift like a 3in or 4 in.

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.

To anyone who's leveled their trucks and had a clicking noise in the suspension, did you ever get it fixed? What was the fix?

I love that look! I have a 2015 Midnight edition and love looks of it. Why do you say a bigger lift with 0 offset? Rubbing issues? Also how do you like those tires? Sorry for all the questions but you are the only one who is running anything close to what i want. thanks.

I think that 0 offset on just a level sticks out a lot? I went with 12mm because I know I could always space them out if I wanted but you can bring a wheel in without a lot of work. As you can see they are just flush with the fender, I used to have some 275s and they set inside the fender a hair. As far as the tires I love them, its a new tire that Cooper came out with, Great road manners, not to loud, and they look awesome!

Looks great! How are the MPGs with this setup? Any rubbing?

With the 6.2, I may have about a .5-1 mpg hit running Nitto g2 275/65. I do have a slight rub on the passenger side when turning hard, just needs the carpet zip tied back. No rub on the driver side.

Thanks for all the help. I just ordered the 0 offsets with 295 60s. I'm looking for a little of the tire to be outside fender well. Ill post some pics when they get here.

If you want a little poke, 0 offset is perfect in my opinion. Same route I am going, except 285/70/17.

Looks great, black/silver is a good combo.

A wheel with -12 would stick out about another .5 inches, correct?

Exactly.

 

With spacers, my current setup is 20x9 -12.

Hey guys what's the likelihood for the rear axle to shift when installing new lift blocks? And if it happens, how do I fix it? 4 wheel alignment? Unless I'm seeing things it appears my passenger rear is shifted forward about 1.5" compared to the driver side rear after I put in new 2" blocks. At least that's what the tape measure is showing me. Thanks.

There are holes in the block and dowels where they sit.. If the installer didn't line them up correctly it's possible. They only go on one way. You would have to loosen the u bolts and position the block in correctly

      OCI, not when but why?

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      My brother has a 2007 Avalanche with afm 5.3. It`s got 176,000 miles. Runs like a clock. Never been apart. Co worker has a 2010 Tahoe with afm 5.3. 230,000 miles. Never been apart. Runs like a clock. So, even though cyl deac is a weak spot, they can go the distance.   BUT, these engines had the oil changed regularly, AND had 5w30 as spec. I wonder if they would have lasted this far on 0w20? I`ll bet not.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I certainly could be wrong but I hear of pickups far newer than that 2007 cutoff which may not be going to the wrecker but are having engine work done and be that a reman engine or new engine or trying to repair the existing engine. Some of it would be design issues as per the cylinder deactivation system that GM has and one of those lifters wiping out the cam and the question of oil changes moving the needle or not on that whole mess, or in the case of Ford pickup engines that have the long timing chains and wearing them out and the roller followers and phasers and some of that certainly goes back to oil change intervals. But in those various cases the truck has all sorts of life left in it and so the unfortunate owner and may be original owner or used market owner that is pouring money into repairs so the truck is not seeing the salvage yard yet but damage is happening by infrequent oil changes. A friends son had bought a 2018 I think it is half ton GM and it had some sort of extended or used dealer warranty on it and of course the lifter issue bites and its rattling and so the dealer had to swallow the bill and was at least 7000.00 and I think they only replaced what they felt they had to replace so yeah, I can see that being a ticking time bomb in the not too distant future. Would frequent oil changes cure all these engineering "marvels", probably not but some engine designs have shown that they do much better if the oil is changed a lot more often then if the manufacturer service claims are followed. New trucks cost so much that there is an incentive to keep the existing truck on the road by repairing.

      Tranmission stays in Low

      get a good code reader, and find out what problems the truck has noticed by reading codes. cheap ones can only get basic engine codes, you may want to get one that can get codes from all the computers in your truck.

      This is sort of my point, salvage yards aren't overflowing with all these 'poorly' maintained trucks - excellent/good/servicable condition otherwise, salvaged only as a result of a bad engine from poor oil change regiment.    In my area, there are no 2007 to newer gm trucks/suvs in any salvage yards. A few are in the 'recyclers' with very obvious reasons for being there - wrecked.

      Stabilitrak conversion to Z71

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Stabilitrack was a stability control, traction control system, that functioned independently from the transfer case.   Z-71 has nothing to do with the transfer case or differential.   If it does have an AWD system, my memory recalls this being specific to the Denali trim, converting won't be as simple as swapping out mechanical parts like differentials and transfer cases. It will require reprogramming at a minimum. Long story short, not likely worth it.   Pulling a fuse, may disable the AWD system, it might also prevent any other transfer case functions.   However, the AWD case was generally based on the same transfer case you refer to in the 2006 Suburban. If it still has a 4-High and 4-Low where the transfer case locks and splits power 50-50 front to rear, what are you gaining by changing anything? A true-rear wheel drive only, what good will that serve? Not enough to go through the trouble of changing out all the parts.    Generally, all the factory systems will handle a 33" tire and re-gearing. Probably a 35" tire too, if you aren't driving like a caveman. If 35" tires are in the plan...   If you do plan on driving like a caveman or are fully committed to 35" tires, an entire re-think of the build is probably in order. Starting with square one, an IFS front end isn't going to be the best starting point for 35's and caveman driving.
