Finally have been able to add custom wheels and tires to my Sierra. My SLE came with 17" wheels IMO way too small for this size truck. Finally looks the way I imagined a new truck should. Fuel Maverick D537 20x9" +20 offset with Toyo A/T II 305/50R20 XL (load rated 120 speed S). These are not LT Tires and save weight and ride very smooth. The center caps haven't been installed waiting for the correct lug nuts.

Here ya go.

 

 

 

Thanks alot your truck looks great.

What did you tint your tail lights with? how many coats? I am ready tint mine. I have a white truck and dont want them super dark and would like to keep the tail and brake lights as bright as possible but just take the red out when they are off if that makes sense.

I have the same fuel maverick wheels but I went with 20x10 2-piece wheels with the gloss black instead of flat black. where are your center caps they are missing?

Looks great man one of the best yet....how hard was the body lift install

 

I had a friend of mine who does body work do the install for me so I can't say for sure. He did say that it took him longer than expected (~8 hrs) and was a pretty tough job considering the bumper removal.

Finally got all the mods on (for now). I did the rough country 3.75 inch combo kit (2.5 inch leveling kit with the 1.25 inch body lift). Also went with Mickey Thompson Baja ATZ 275/65/20 on the stock rims. Absolutely love how it turned out.

What do you measure from the ground to wheel well front and back?

Shop didn't have the correct locking lugs at the time (Too Long) I've since gone back and had the correct lugs installed and center caps are now on the wheels.

That is the exact set up I am going to look at getting in the Spring. Do you think you would have rubbing issues if you would have went with a 0 offset wheel?

Put in an RC 2" level on my truck last night, already noticing my gas mileage took a decent beating. I was getting 8.5 - 10 L/100km, now it's 10 - 13 L/100km (highway). I Don't think it will be worth the money in gas over years of having it(kit) on, even though it does make the truck look a lot better.

Will you please proofread your post? I'm confused.

Yes a 0 or +1 should work for a leveled truck with 33" tall tire. Would set 3/4" out further.

2" RC level with 305/50r20 terra grapps, rubs sway bar at full lock turning left only. Only have some iPhone pics now, gotta clean her up soon. Can't beat the 305 width though.....97baaf0aa7092704d8b9ba6a2f691eb2_zpsbb955917524251cf4dd48555cf5a13444614_zps06c761d0bb0bd17be6570abee197862a4de8_zps6e03

Having a hard time deciding between rcx 2" front level or the whole 2.5" front and rear.

 

I have 3.08 gears so I won't be going with a big tire and all, but def is slammed into the dirt

Hey guys.. sorry if this is a rookie mistake.. Any how-to vids or step by step instructions on the leveling kits? i took a quick glance around and didnt see one. I havent decided which kit I want to go with yet, but I would like to do it myself. (novice in the garage)

 

thanks, and sorry in advance if i posted in the wrong area. I know how that ruffles "some" feathers :)

    • Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!
    • If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.
    • My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.    
    • I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w
    • I took a 12 second video on my iphone but the file is too big to upload. I will have to figure out how to extract the audio or just do another start with an audio recording.
