This his how she looks now after two years of owning her. RC level kit up front with the LTZ rims. Looking for a slightly higher lift now since shocks need to be replaced.

Here's my 2018 LT - first thing i did was install a Rough Country leveling kit and some BFG's.  I'm very happy with the way it turned out.

What size tires are those and what type of lift do you have?  Also, how did you go about getting rid of the chrome?  I have the same truck but an 18 and you are setting yours up just how I want mine to look.  Looks great man. 

Nice! Same question as kingofcrate, what lift and tires do u got? I have 3in front 2in rear level/lift was wanting 35x12.5 but only few people say i can run them the majority says 33x12.5,

I never got rid of the chrome after all. I could not find a wrap that would match the color 100% and painting chrome is just a pain. For lift I have a 3 inch front spacer and stock rear. Tires are 33x12.50r17s. I ran 35s on stock wheels for a while but went back to 33s on aftermarket wheels. 35s we’re fine on road but rubbed badly offroad. Happy with how it currently sits.

Thanks man, your truck looks great.  I put a 2in front lift on mine.  You think I would be able to run 33in tires with the stock 17in rims with zero rubbing?

Here’s my 18 SLT I picked up. Kept it simple. Did a rc 2” level and 275 60 20 Hankook tire and a little window tint! Traded in a 18 Denali that I had all sorts of vibration issues . Couldn’t be happier!2E70FB14-C065-43A2-A853-501C832C878A.thumb.jpeg.a86400e818294a724dd4aeff1c9fe5df.jpeg

Thank you! You’re going to rub on the UCAs if you get a wide tire like my 12.50s. My -6 offset wheels fixed that issue since they stick out a little.

Do you have any rubbing? I've got +0 rims and like the width of the 12.5s compared to my 295/70

    • 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.
