What size lift are you running, and what brand?

Rough Country 2.5", this with the 285/70 Duratracs on the 0 offset 17" Method NV's are very driveable. I tend to do about 40-60 miles a day and all I've noticed is a slight hum at highway speeds with the windows up and radio down or off. They're about as loud as my last car with summer only performance tires. Absolutely no rubbing.

Nice, I was thinking it was a 4in lift. Im putting the Method Nvs on my truck also but hopefully 33 mud grips on it with 4in lift. Truck looks good though man

Thanks! Everyone that see's the truck in person think it's a leveled 2500 at first glance. Next time (probably another 2-3yr's until I get a 6.2, I work for GM) I'll probably go with one of the prerunner style suspension systems with full coilovers and adjust it up (around 3.5") to use 35's while keeping that low COG look while gaining some ride and travel over what I have now. I love the way this truck performs but you always end up wanting to go bigger the next time around...

Had the same set up on my 14. Loved the look and it rode great.

I ordered these wheels yesterday. National back order though, so gonna have to wait about 3 weeks to get them.

Must be everyone ordering them after seeing how great they look on this fourm haha. What size and offset did you go with? Also curious as to where you ordered them from and best price you found. Thanks!

I should have ordered them the first time I saw your truck.

Whats up with the air dam? How did you make the lower finishing piece? Is it just a cut down stock piece? I never noticed that on your truck before...

I went with 17x8.5 +0 offset. $200 each, but the have $50 off a set of 4 right now and then $30 rebate I'd you use your Discount Tire card. So, $720 shipped after you factor those in.

 

As for tires, I'm sticking with Cooper ATPs again. 285/70/17. These are $207 each. However on ebay, in the Discount Tire Direct store, you get $100 off a $400+ purchase (ends today). So I bought 2 tires for $414 and got $100 off instantly, so it was $314. I did this 2 times (so $828 total reduced to $628). Plus Cooper has a $70 mail in rebate now, so $558 for the 4 tires shipped after all said and done.

I would have done the ebay deal on the wheels too, but they don't have any of the 17s listed in our pattern (probably because of the back order). But if you want 18 or 20 inch, you can do the 100 off 400 deal on those too.

Ya I havent seen very many people with anything smaller then 20s. Me personally I like an off road look, 20s look good with 35s and a 6in lift imo. Both trucks look awesome!

Thanks for the info! I saw the $100 off $400 as well and think I might use it for tires (Nitto TG). I have been kicking it around but about 2 weeks ago I added a set of 20" LRG 104's to my cart on a certain website to see the total, and they are running a buy 3 get 1 free deal right now. Plus my cart had a glitch and gave me an extra 20% off so the total for 4 20" Lrg's comes to $707 free shipping (normal price $1176). The only problem is they are 0 offset and I want to run the Nitto Terra Grappler 305-55-20XL since they are about the size I want but still 4 ply so the ride should still be good and keep the weight down.

 

I am close to pulling the trigger since its such a screaming deal on the wheels but the offset still has me a tad concerned with a 305 tire.

305 with a 0 offset will poke out a bit, it all depends on the look you're going for :)

    • Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
    • Paid $2.72 for E85 today.
    • 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?
