Just got my new wheels and tires and already have them kicking up rocks. I don’t want fender flares because I don’t like the way they look. Has anyone tried the long john mud flaps or long john  fender flares? If so do you have any pics? I think they would work great but wanna see how they look on the truck before I order them.

still in the beginning stages of making this truck truly mine, but here's how it looks for now.Next step is a little more power and a little color as I'm getting bored of the stormtrooper feel

Do you have an AAL or something for the additional weight? Maybe it’s just me but it looks like you have increased rake

I have a 2" block spacer under the front strut.... and yes the rear does have 1 add a leaf at 2" lift. I think a lot of it is from the angle i took the picture, but yes unloaded the rake is the same angle as stock.

Looks great! What are your tire size and lift on this? Any rubbing issues or did you require any trimming?

Lifter failure, scoured camshaft etc etc. Traded it in as the warranty was going this year anyways. This is it's new 'owner' and they need photography lessons haha. Worst angle ever for the truck. Picked up an diesel AEV Bison instead.

Details on lift/tire size?

I went to a local off road shop, told him my desires.. I want a lift, that will offer better ride quality, but I am not going to beat not the truck so I don't need to spend over 2K... I came back a few days later and he put on Rough Country 3.5 with the N3 front struts and coils, N2 monotubes in the rear with blocks in the rear. 33X12.5 TOYO AT2 on methods.

I read into this lift, people say even with the knuckles being changed it still wears parts and has bad angles, but I have known this guy for 20 years and trust his judgement. 

 

Honestly, after a week or so, the truck rides great. way better than the Ranchos.

2018 Silverado Extended I've had for about a year and finally did a leveling kit and bigger wheels.

 

So far I am loving it, still need to tint the front windows and I got Maryland Flag Bowties for the front and back but just did a 2" BDS front leveling kit, went from 255 R70 17 Tires to 33 12.5 20 tires.    One week in and I went from 19.6 to 16.3 MPGs with 50% highway and 50% small town lot of stop signs driving.

Finally got my truck switched to new wheels and tires.

Did Ultra Sports 203BM 18x9 - 12 offset, wrapped with Nitto Terra Grappler 12 and had a 2in RC level kit installed. I only have a rub at full lock and when I hit a slight bump on the back side of the tire. Will have to cut just the carpet liner if anything.

    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
