7" RCX with 35x12.50's on 20x10 Fuel Hostage wheels with -24 offset. No rubbing so far. Next up will probably be fender flares and painting the bumpers black. And that air dam is coming off as soon as I get time.

Do you think that some slightly larger tires could be fit under the 7" lift. I know that most ppl say that 35s can only fit on a 6" lift yet there are ppl running them on 4" lifts and even just on level kits. I am curious of what you think since you have the kit and can see it in person

I don't think you could fit a 37" tire without a body lift. The 35's barely cleared and there really isn't any room to spare.

No spacers needed with stock 20's. Wouldn't work with 18's or less

That's a Damn good looking truck.

That's exactly what I was going to do with my emblem but couldn't figure out how to remove the red letters from the chrome. Did you just pop them out?

Can't just "pop them out". You have to basically drill out the white tabs that hold the letters in. These tabs ARE NOT THE SAME TABS THAT HOLD THE LETTERS TO THE TRUCK. The tabs you need to drill down are white and at key parts of the letters

You have access to these if you look at the back side of the chrome that the letters are sitting in. Just be careful as to not go all the way through and go through the letters themselves! Would make for a real downer if you put a big hole in the letters themselves.

 

He used a pick to pick at the white tabs until he could remove the letters.

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:

    • On my wife's 2020 Blazer (~69000 miles), we started to notice the brakes pulsating at faster speeds. Typically around town you don't notice anything, but highway/interstate driving you will notice it. I decided to pull of the front tires and look at the brakes. I figured with the milage, the pads should be wearing out to their life span, but they actually looked decent. Still with "meat" on them. One pad has a ridge wearing in it, and that same rotor is showing the ridge too. That's not the concerning part...the other rotor appears to have a raised bump on it!  The picture make it look like a pimple! Very odd and strange! NOTE: These are the factory brakes and rotors.   I'm attaching pictures of the front brakes and what they look like ate ~69000 miles.
    • 2024 Chevrolet 2500 HD Custom 6.6 Gas Canadian built Truck  I tried to search for my previous thread on this topic but cant find it so my apoligies  for starting another one    #1   Since we have owned our truck purchased new it has this strange noise after using the remote start function  you press the remote start and you hear it start but right at the end of it starting it almost seems like it wants to start again after the truck is running .   There is no gap in time it is right at the end of the start . Almost sounds like when you have started a car/truck and its running and then you try and start it again and you get that grinding noise ,sort of     #2  You can only hear this if you are standing outside of the truck and near the truck  you cant hear it when you start the truck from inside  the cab . So it may very well be happening when starting the truck that way as in normally    #3   This only happens when it is started after sitting . For how long I don't know but it happens after sitting overnight for sure and it wont do it if you stop the engine after starting and then start it again  I have had it in to the Dealership before concerning this but they did not have the truck  when it was cold to hear it . Now its back in the Dealership left it overnight so they could possibly hear the problem . They said they tried and nothing happened . Well they did not know what they were listening for . I started the truck remotely and BINGO it makes the noise . Oh that sounds weird they say . We need to look into it ! I have left for this week at the Dealership    Does your 2024 2500 HD gas do this ?  Any of you fellas care to take the time and trouble to film this operation from a cold start  so I can hear what your sound like  Really  would like to know if this is anormal sound  Thank You Fellas !!
    • 2026 Z71.  The other day I was backing a trailer into the barn.  The alarm was going off just because the trailer was in the field of the warning sensors when you get too close to something.  For some reason now the warning alarm doesn't work anymore.  It used to go off when I was just normally backing my truck into garage.  I still have the guidelines in the back up camera.  Is there a button or something to push to turn the sound/Alarm on and off?  I have the touch screen in this truck.  There isn't a "P" on the dash except for the parking brake.  I can't find anything in the touch screen under settings or vehicle.  Thank you in advance.  
    • Well one of our most reliable vehicles was sold yesterday. The first and only I gave for free to a grandkid. If they got skin in the game they take care of it. My wife bought new. Five years later my daughter got it to use. We got it back and gave it to our grandson after graduation. He did zero maintenance just oil changes. When the AC quit he drove his mother’s car rather than get it fixed. Instead he just bought a beater and sold the Elantra. 
    • I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.
