Looks really good! Those are standards right? Thinking about those polished for mine in 17 with 33's. Whats the lift and wheel/tire specs? What did you do to fit them?

 

Yep, Method Standards 17X8.5 with 35x12.50 Toyo AT2 Xtreme (They accidentally ordered these and I didn't notice until it was too late so didn't even both to go back, just stuck with them). I wanted the regular AT2. These are kind of loud for my taste, but I have never had a big tire setup like this so I wasn't expecting it to be dead silent either.

As for lift, I went cheap because i'm 2wd. Running Maxtrac 4.5 lift spindles on top of the RC 2.5 level/lift I had in there and a 4" lift block in the back which will be changed out for a 5" lift block. Blistein 5100's are in the near future but I ordered a Diablo i2 last night for under $300 so I jumped on it quick. Hoping to get some MPG back.

 

4 wheel parts currently has the Blistein 5100 set at $300 flat so hopefully buy them friday.

 

As for fitment, just had to cut a slight angle on that front plastic under the bumper which is getting removed anyways . Otherwise,fit like a charm.

 

I did find a bunch of issues while doing the lift though, like a bad tie rod, both rear shocks blown, warped rotors (measured with micrometer). Going aftermarket on rotors and shocks because OEM is garbage.

Do you have a link the 4 wheelparts I went to didn't even offer Bilstein?

Just picked the truck up from alignment and the thrust angle is WAY off. Anyone that may have some insight, please check out my thread started in the troubleshooting subforum. Has printouts as well.

Your truck looks great. However, don't be too upset with your tire shop.....35" AT2's are only available in the XT version.

Any rubbing issues?

Oh, didn't know this! Good to know, thanks Big Whiskey. I'm already use to the tire noise. Getting them road forced balanced today because the wheels already kicked off a few weights AND there are weights stacked on top of each other. Really poor job.

Nope. No rubbing at all. Just have to get use to the little bit of extra road noise.

Yeah, aftermarket rims are great for chucking wheel weights, haha. And, you're probably limited to clip on weights on the inside lip, and stick on weights as close to the outside as they can get. If it's the stick-on weights you're chucking, try putting black duck tape or gorilla tape over them. I've had good luck with that over the years.

bfg k02 275/65r20 2.5" rc level26642116184_eb8598f5e8_h.jpg

hey, how have you liked these? Do you have any rubbing? This is one of the larger diameter tires I've seen on a non-lifted 1500 series truck.

 

I have a 2" level kit on my Silverado and have a liking to those size of tire.

Went with XD Series Crank wheels, 18x9 0-offset........BFG KO2 275-70

Debating on 2" leveling kit or bilstein shocks to get closer to level......what does everyone prefer?

I like the $50 2" level kit. But that's just me

    • 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?
