If those XD Buck wheels had come in 18, I would have put them on my Pepperdust truck.

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.

Mine is finally done! After months of research I went with the RC 2.5" level kit front only, stock rear block. 20"x9" Fuel Nutz w/ +1 offset, 33x12.50x20 Toyo M/T tires. No rubbing, No trimming, yet a

Finally got some new tires after leveling. LT275/70/17 Mickey Thompson Deegan 38s.

 

Only pic I have on the phone right now. Top was original, middle is how it sits now, bottom was a little photoshop. Going to get tint next and I might paint the wheels a gunmetal color and wanted to see how it looked. Color match bumper would be nice too but my wife isn't going to sign off on that.

You can do plasti dip on the wheels to see if you like it. If you hate it you can peel it off easy as long as you do 5-6 coats.

 

You can leave the tires on the rims and leave the rims on the truck, just be sure to cover the brakes and rotors. The dip please off tires like nothing so you don't need to worry about over spray.

 

I have to redo my rims on my hummer. I tried using peel away but it didn't even last the year...

I got it leveled on Friday. Thanks everyone for all the help while I searched for the setup I wanted. I am very pleased with how it turned out. Here's a before and after.

WoW! Great job bud... What is a huge difference between the before and after... The wheel and tire set up is perfect... Can we get more info and closer pics on them..

This is all I have at the moment.

Like you, I think the 285s look "OK" on these trucks, but not great. The more I look at this setup, the more I like it.

 

Can I get some more pictures? I'm especially interested in some pictures of someone holding the steering at full lock, and seeing the clearance around the tire (front, rear, UCA and Swaybar).

Figured I'd throw up a few pics of my 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 dbl cab with level lift, 20x9s, and 33x12.5 toyo r/t tires. Reused the ready lift 2.25 from my 2014 silverado on this so I could buy the wheels and tires I wanted now. Plan on bumping up to a 4" lift in the next 6 months or so.

What are you fender height measurements? I am running the same level yet I still have approximately 1.5" difference in height from front to rear

Oh Man Thanks. the look is exactly what I was going for.

 

The tires are 305/50R20 Toyo Open Country AT II

Wheels are 20x9 Fuel Mavericks with a +20 offset

 

I will get closer pictures tomorrow.

Here's my '17 with a 2.5" front Motofab and a 3" block in the rear. Got a good little rake to it but damn it looks good!

Got the 2" RC level and new 285/65R20 BFG KO2's this weekend. Rubbed a little of the fender well at first but a zip tie on each side fixed it no problem. Thought about going with the 275's just to be safe but glad I jumped in and got the 285's.

Nice! Post some more pics! I went with 285/55 ko2s after much debate between those sizes.

I love this setup. Looks beefy, and there is zero rubbing or trimming, even in reverse at an angle. Ive been meaning to snap more pics, and I am also curious to see the actual clearance I do have, so Ill get that done tomorrow. Been busy with a new job so Ive been swamped!

I thought about getting the same tires in the same size. How you like em? Or do you have em yet?

I've had them on for about 2 weeks and I have enjoyed them. Seem to do really well with all the rain we've been getting here.

      Mangoal or FitcamX OEM Dashcam?

      By MANGOAL · Posted

      Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge.

      Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
