can you take pic of your tires in the more light. I'm thinking of getting the same tires. Do you like them

Sorry went back to stock wheels and a set of michelin ltx at2 tires. Never could get them to balance. I have had the nitto tires many times before and they are great tires.

OK and thank you

I ordered these in Feb as I knew they would be releasing soon. Got lucky as my tire place thought they would be back ordered another 6 weeks near end of March when they were originally expecting them, then they showed up the next day. Rims are black and machined black I believe, color seems to change a little depending on the light84cd0136eb9fa300dc758de9872ce642.jpgd538ee416c9143761659f5b7f4abe34a.jpg146890ee4f7271ea8c66dc695ea09c57.jpg21f95ae16eaa08966d51a09a97cd31cd.jpg26ee034b722af41e3b2c983c09147fcf.jpg

How you liking the tire wheel and leveling kit set up? Any rubbing or other issues,should you go the same route if you were able to do it over?

The setup has been good, leveling kit no issues and still rides nice, tires did rub a bit but I chopped a piece of the fender carpet out and don't notice anything anymore. They handle great in the mud and the few days I ran them in snow, gravel I thought they could be better, and on the highway I don't find them loud at all. Wheels still look good and have only seen one other truck running them which is nice. Next time may buy a slightly wider tire but other than that it's a great setup

You sure about that size? That's almost 34" tires with just an 2.5 level? pretty awesome-blossom if you ask me!

they will work with that level kit. I'm running 295/60/20 Cooper STT PROs on a 2015 Midnight edition Silverado with no issues. cooper specs those tires at 34.3"

Some nice trucks in this thread!!

My goal was to stay tame, functional for towing, and still look good. I also did not want wheels yout see everywhere.

I chose 20x9 Raceline wheels offset is 0. 2" level and 285/55r20 AT2 Extemes. Worked out well for me! Still decent on gas.

kayslays setup was what made me go with the KO2s, but it didn't turn out like i had planned. the offset of his fuel rims makes his tires look wider than they are, where i still have the stock AT rims with a less aggressive offset, if makes mine just look tall and skinny. i do like the KO2s this and I'm glad i went with them.

i went one size wider. that resulted in a slightly taller tire too. the sidewall is slightly different than the rest of the ltx at2 because this size was developed for toyota on the tundra. guess they get a specific sidewall for their trucks. i am very pleased with them. not super all terrain but enough for what i need.

if GM would put those Michelins on their trucks stock like Toyota does on the TRD that would be nice. Much better than the GY crap they put on that we pay $350 extra for an "A/T tire option".

Just got my Suspensionmaxx leveling kit and Nitto Terra Grapplers (305/45/22).

 

Ordered my 22" relica CK156's today from Erica at Stock Wheel Solutions! She was great, and hooked me up with a better deal than advertised when I called. Hope to have everything installed in next few weeks.

Can you post a picture of the whole truck? I'm actually debating on keeping my 17's and buying these tires

    • Oh yes, someone is going to be certainly hitting up GM service/ support for a 20 year old truck.
    • I bought belts and pulleys for my '20 L5P at Rock Auto a couple years ago. I have used them for many years, and almost always save significant money, especially when I buy maintenance stuff ahead of time.   They carry many OEM parts, which is all I use unless an aftermarket is shown to be same/superior, or if it is an insignificant part or unavailable OEM part anywhere else. RA is usually lower priced, often by a bunch, but parts are sometimes unavailable or out of stock, and I do shop around and sometimes find better prices at other sites.   Be aware that you pay shipping, and if you buy multiple items and they are coming from different warehouses, the shipping can kill the advantage. Planning ahead is best if possible.   If you have a transmission service in the near future, check out their OEM (AC Delco ULV) fluid, usually MUCH less than anywhere else.
    • New member here, very long time occasional guest. Saw this thread, thought it would be a good time to contribute someting. It is only my experience and not a claim that everyone will have the same.   I bought my '20 3500 L5P new and have put 99.9% (literally) of it's current ~400k miles on it myself, with over 50% of that towing loads between 4k to 15k, and to me this truck has been nothing short of amazing. For the first 235k I had zero issues, and from there until 321k I replaced a NOx sensor, two failing glow plugs, and three of the notorious injector connectors. I believe this truck is in part, a testament to good luck, but also good care and following a decent maintenance schedule (I also keep meticulous records.) As a result, it looks as good as a well cared for 70k rig, up and down, inside and out.   At some point before that 321k mile mark I began to get a little spooked about the 10L1000, especially the valve body. Word of mouth about potential issues prompted me to jump on the net to sift through all the noise and determine what all the fuss was about. I routinely take long trips, coast-to-coast and points in between, so roadside breakdowns can be '...a thousand miles from nowhere' and a bit of a challenge, and though I had no issues, my guard was up and activated.   And then I stumbled across a chance to salvage some parts off a new 2025 that had been wrecked in transport. I grabbed a few wear items (alternator, pulleys, etc.) and on a whim asked what the ten speeder would cost me. It was cheap...really cheap. I knew some changes had been made in the '24+ version 10L and were supposedly not compatible, but I called service/parts at my local Chevy dealer and asked why and they didn't know. A call to a well known aftermarket transmission outfit revealed it was very likely it would be fine, but to them not 100% sure.   Because it was cheap (really cheap) and I was spooked, I took the chance. Had it installed by a local shop and it worked like a champ, shifted just like the original. At it's first service at 37k, I had the shop put in a Next Gen valve body kit, which after some initial hiccups and rough shifts, smoothed out though with somewhat firmer shifting.   All that said, I have a very serious concern about my newer transmission as just two weeks ago it suddenly began to exhibit a strong reluctance to engage forward or reverse. It was a bit past due anyway so I took it in for service. The reason it was sticking was due to 'glitter' in the fluid clogging the filter...not good folks, often indicates a converter giving out. We ended up going ahead with the new filter and fluid, first to see if it would move and shift, and then if so buy me a little time. It did, and I've driven it over a thousand miles and it is shifting smooth, no noises or slipping. Regardless, it looks like a third gearbox is in my future so I can resume taking long trips with some confidence. In the very short term, my curiosity will have me examining the fluid to check how much glitter has reappeared.   An earlier poster had alleged, in the context of 10L100 failures, that it is another example of how we seasoned citizens somehow descend into hysteria, lose control of our senses, and react irrationally after brief encounters with the idiocy of the internet infosphere. Let me say (and I have used and abused said internet since it's infancy) there is no segment of the populace that has a corner on over-reaction to digital garbage. Just as my offering of experience in this arena is purely anecdotal and should not be considered gospel or all-encompassing, I believe it is still worthwhile information to consider, along with other relevant anecdotal experiences about things like complex transmissions, especially when balanced with other sources.   So to answer the original question, yes I got high miles out of my first 10L, trouble free for 321,000. Now I really wonder how much longer it would have went. Did I 'overreact' to the internet ghouls by replacing a 'good' one with a 'bad' one? Maybe. Who knows, the thing might have taken a puke a 100 miles later. So I'll just fix it again, then move on and start thinking about all the other stuff that will eventually wear out. It still has the original brakes (they're at ~60%), original injectors/pump, turbo, water pump, etc....pretty much original everything. Knock on wood.
    • At peak temperature.  They get to cool down and warm up more, especially those with the external cooler.  I have three GMT900s and one of them has over 225K on its original transmission.  Fluid gets changed about every 36K miles, all of it.     It's not the bean counters, it was the government.  They had to meet CAFE standards and other government requirements.   To get around that, we tune them and modify them to our liking.
