Looking for a little input. I have a 2.5 rcx level and am planning on get new wheels that come custom drilled to any offset 0 to +25. I would like to run either 305 55 r20 or 275 65 r20 tires. Is either possible without any rubbing? And if so what offset would I need? Thanks in advance for the input!

if you run the 305 you will rub with any offset that is not -. I got 305s and - 24 offset and it still rubs on a 3" level. I suggest go with the 275s. And try a negative offset so the tire is sitting more outside at full lock.

Chappy, if you ask me, it seems your true problem lies in that you don't have a driveline. It seems to be out of place. Not sure how it could vibrate.

I was thinking about debadging my truck. Anyone have any experience doing this? I already have a 3m eraser wheel that I used on a previous vehicle.

I debadged mine and it took me about 25 minutes. I used fishing string and heat gun. Removed the sticky tape residue with Goof Off. Cuts through it like butter and won't harm your finish.

Mine came with the "Silverado" de-badged or never really installed at all. There were about 150 Silverado on the lot with out them. The dealership said that's how they were coming from the factory! byve8a5e.jpg

Biggest POS I have owned. 2nd truck. Both had less than 5000 miles on them. Vibration in driveline. Buyer beware.

 

Pretty vague post. Can you go into further detail on the problems you had, how you dealt with the dealer and such?

Looks great man. I will try and find the time this weekend to do this.

Search my name under "Shake and Vibration issues" under the GM-Trucks forum. All the documentation you need is there along with many others dealing with the same issue.

 

Happy reading!

I've been following that post. Glad to see that many of them have had their problems resolved in a myriad of different ways. I bet some have a combination of different problems making it even more difficult to fix. I also bet there are a lot of people with lots of miles on them by now so if it was universal we'd pretty much all know by now. Sorry everyone hasn't found their fix yet. I worked at a dealer years ago. It's nothing new. Sometimes them come off the car carrier missing things - we attributed it to "it must have been a Friday on the assembly line" syndrome. Shit happens. It really sucks when it happens to you. That's what lemon laws are for. Sometimes you can't make chicken soup out of chicken .... I mean.. a silk purse out of a sows ear. Good luck Brother. Keep at it or turn it in.

Took the two day old truck with 300km on it and put on another 6000km over the last two weeks through Wyoming/Colorado/Utah and did some very light offroading (truck is stock Z71 right now) in Moab.

Wish I had gotten a couple more shots of the articulation in this one, the stance was opposite on the driver side with the left rear having about a half inch of clearance from the wheel well.

 

More to come, too many driveway and parking lot shots on here. :)

 

Okay, so I got around to uploading some more pictures. The full album with larger and high res images can also be found here: http://imgur.com/a/EbiNc

The second last one there is one of my favorites, love the LED lights.

 

Pics are from around Arches Natl park and Moab, and some from Antelope Island by Salt Lake.

Do you have the short or regular bed? It looks like the regular bed.

Just wondering.
