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.

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.

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.

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.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I certainly could be wrong but I hear of pickups far newer than that 2007 cutoff which may not be going to the wrecker but are having engine work done and be that a reman engine or new engine or trying to repair the existing engine. Some of it would be design issues as per the cylinder deactivation system that GM has and one of those lifters wiping out the cam and the question of oil changes moving the needle or not on that whole mess, or in the case of Ford pickup engines that have the long timing chains and wearing them out and the roller followers and phasers and some of that certainly goes back to oil change intervals. But in those various cases the truck has all sorts of life left in it and so the unfortunate owner and may be original owner or used market owner that is pouring money into repairs so the truck is not seeing the salvage yard yet but damage is happening by infrequent oil changes. A friends son had bought a 2018 I think it is half ton GM and it had some sort of extended or used dealer warranty on it and of course the lifter issue bites and its rattling and so the dealer had to swallow the bill and was at least 7000.00 and I think they only replaced what they felt they had to replace so yeah, I can see that being a ticking time bomb in the not too distant future. Would frequent oil changes cure all these engineering "marvels", probably not but some engine designs have shown that they do much better if the oil is changed a lot more often then if the manufacturer service claims are followed. New trucks cost so much that there is an incentive to keep the existing truck on the road by repairing.

      Tranmission stays in Low

      get a good code reader, and find out what problems the truck has noticed by reading codes. cheap ones can only get basic engine codes, you may want to get one that can get codes from all the computers in your truck.

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      This is sort of my point, salvage yards aren't overflowing with all these 'poorly' maintained trucks - excellent/good/servicable condition otherwise, salvaged only as a result of a bad engine from poor oil change regiment.    In my area, there are no 2007 to newer gm trucks/suvs in any salvage yards. A few are in the 'recyclers' with very obvious reasons for being there - wrecked.

      Stabilitrak conversion to Z71

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Stabilitrack was a stability control, traction control system, that functioned independently from the transfer case.   Z-71 has nothing to do with the transfer case or differential.   If it does have an AWD system, my memory recalls this being specific to the Denali trim, converting won't be as simple as swapping out mechanical parts like differentials and transfer cases. It will require reprogramming at a minimum. Long story short, not likely worth it.   Pulling a fuse, may disable the AWD system, it might also prevent any other transfer case functions.   However, the AWD case was generally based on the same transfer case you refer to in the 2006 Suburban. If it still has a 4-High and 4-Low where the transfer case locks and splits power 50-50 front to rear, what are you gaining by changing anything? A true-rear wheel drive only, what good will that serve? Not enough to go through the trouble of changing out all the parts.    Generally, all the factory systems will handle a 33" tire and re-gearing. Probably a 35" tire too, if you aren't driving like a caveman. If 35" tires are in the plan...   If you do plan on driving like a caveman or are fully committed to 35" tires, an entire re-think of the build is probably in order. Starting with square one, an IFS front end isn't going to be the best starting point for 35's and caveman driving.

      Oil Consumption

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      1/2 qt over full ain`t gonna hurt $h!t. Most times, a whole qt won`t either. Most have windage trays now. As long as the crank isn`t slapping itself in the oil, it`s not the end of the world.   We used to overfill 1 qt at the track, at race time. Better to have it over full than having the pan sucked dry at 6500 rpm`s.
