Did u put block in the back? How do the tires do on the ice and snow?

No block in the back. My front was dead level just after install. A week later I'm 1/4" lower in the front.

 

So far so good. I've only had them on a couple days. Been running the original Terra Grapplers on my Landcruiser for a while. Always been great in deep and packed snow.

I will say it again. More rubber-less wheel. I think 17s and 18s with a larger sidewall looks, and rides better. Plus you don't have to avoid every pot hole and curb at the drive thru. Just my opinion, but Dubs are for hoopties. Looks great. Looks like a TRUCK. :thumbs:

Definitely my preference as well. I think the AT type tires look much more aggressive when they have a thick sidewall.

 

If I had 20's I would have felt compelled to run a MT tire.

Here's my 2014, I'm a big fan of sidewall too. Never need to worry about kerbing it and were I live there are off-road sort cuts all over the city. Plus my days off are spent exploring with the truck or the Dirtbike ... big rims just dig a big hole !

Here's mine. 2015 SLT All-Terrain. 2.5" leveling kit

 

Still need to put my Flowmaster Outlaw exhaust on her. Going to see what the biggest size tire is too, my old Ford I had 16" rims with 275 BFG All-Terrains and I loved it. But when I saw the All-Terrain rims I loved them, even though they are 20's.

When getting the Cad it took adjusting to the low profile 40 tires. I did and still do swerve around most pot holes but yes having side wall is awesome. The ride is so smooth in the Sierra. Parallel and city parking are a breeze. Just pop right up and show the curb who's boss.

This is mine, 33x12.5r20s with 2.5 ready lift level, and 3" block in the back. Looking to powder my rims as well.

Hey Dusty, are you running any spacers on the stock rims?

Here's a side view, shitty day here in Michigan...

 

2.25" procomp level, 295/55/r20 trails....had handles and mirror caps CM'd when I got it...plan on getting the FXR retrofit done on my heads, maybe cm those too....thanks guys..7fcda5eea484d66e0e9ca039065dd8dc.jpgGilisG

 

Hey Gilis, looks awesome! What, if any, sort of spacers are you running on the stock rims?

No I'm not. The fitment with the 12.5 toyo fits quite well. I didn't have rubbing at all to begin with when i had my tires on, now with 20k on them I'm getting quite noticeable rubbing turning. Would it be anything to do with the colder weather and harder rubber? I'm quite confused

2.5 Rough Country Lift with stock 1" rear blocks. Still trying to decide what brand and size tires I want to go with. I want to get all terrains because of the amount of highway miles I drive. Any body have any suggestions on a brand and size?? The stock tires are 265/65/R18.

Interesting, I've never heard of something like that.... I'd guess it is because of the weather and/or the tires are flattening out a bit?

    • So I'm in the middle of a DOD AFM delete on my 6.2 L86 Sierra. I had a pick holding the tensioner but after I got the Cam phaser gear off I was cleaning off all the rtv and apparently I didn't have the pick seated far enough in. I bumped it and the tensioner sprang forward.  I think everything is good but I want a second opinion. The top of the tensioner is just a looped piece of plastic that rides in that channel right? There is no spring or anything is there? I got the gear and chain back on and it seems tight and everything looks right. I'm hoping nothing fell out.
    • My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.
    • Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?
    • I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions. 
    • I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.
