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.

    • I have never seen GM instructions for the other trucks as per the HD with the 6 speed or the half tons but had got the impression that the HD trucks with the 6 speed were not having the same problem that the 10 speed and pan presented. Also video that I have seen of the HD 10 speed with the gas engine starting in 2024 model year showed that it was a real struggle to even make it work when pulling down hard on the exhaust after undoing the exhaust hanger bracket on the side of the transmission as after all there is little room for the pipe to even go down behind the Y joint as it soon would hit a frame cross member. Also that they had tried just like I did with the gasket off and no way was that pan coming out any way they tried to manipulate the pan. From that as well as the local transmission shop talking about the pain in the rear issue, I was not expecting my pan to come out because GM shows it was not even intended to come out without dealing with the exhaust piping.    It would be nice to claim, here's what you do and its easy to remove the pan guaranteed on any HD truck with the gas 10 speed but dollars to donuts the next guy trying what I did would not have the same luck as the exhaust was just manufactured slightly different and be pissed off at my claim that the pan comes out with no issue. Its more of a try and see if your particular truck might work like mine did .... or not !. 
    • Sorry I didn't see this until now, but it works on both the 6 speed and 10 speeds, as well as all the half tons too.
    • Hello, I have a 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 that I recently changed both motor mounts on due to the driver's side being blown out. After replacement I seem to have a steady vibration that I can feel in the pedals and the back of the seat. At this point I'm convinced that the aftermarket "Anchor" branded mounts I used are not performing as well as OE, the only real reason I ended up using the mounts in question was because my local dealers were out a few months to get a Driver's side mount. I've tried "Neutralizing" the mounts according to the motor mount TSB published for these truck to no avail. My trans mount is also in great shape and seems to be absorbing vibrations swimmingly. As far as I can tell there is no issues idling, my idle RPM is steady and I've recently put GM plugs and wires on, however, I have not cleaned the throttle body or intake valves. Any one else have a similar experience with aftermarket mounts? Patience certainly is a virtue that I wish I exercised here. Thank you!
    • I still saw people out for runs, on their bikes/motorcylces, jeeps with the doors off driving around here the past 2 days. I guess we are just used to it here haha.   Tasted like a bonfire the last 2 days.
    • The TCM has to be flashed before it can drive.   If you installed it the way it is, it has the OS (operating system/program) from the 2010 truck you got it from. That will not match with the VIN/OS pair that your 2013 truck has.   You can do the full install. Then tow it to a dealership and they can flash the trucks PCM/TCM with the latest program for your VIN.
