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.

    • HD at the moment, are kinda their own deal.  How LTZ sells on those vs on 1500, there is a difference.   They are merging most of the mid trims on 1500.  LT, RST and LTZ are replaced by one trim, Silverado.  LT and RST are a BIG portion of sales.    Bad naming choice aside, the new Silverado trim will offer the spread of options that those three trims offered.  So expect to see things like the tech package for example, and memory seats.  And LT Trail Boss will now just be "Trail Boss" (formerly LT Trail Boss) but will offer content spread like the new Silverado trim will.  The press photos showed the Trail Boss (formerly LT Trail Boss) has access to Super Cruise now, which on the current truck was High Country only.       Here is the Trail Boss interior.  Memory seats and Super Cruise are present.  All things the LT Trail Boss it replaces, and the RST it was based on didn't get on the current gen.  You had to go to LTZ or ZR2 for memory seats, and High Country for Super Cruise.      
    • I installed a Hellwig rear sway bar on my 21 Sierra SLT, it made a huge difference on how the truck handles, no body roll, the trucks much more planted now. Not sure of the suspension differences between the 21 and 26,  if its body roll your having a sway bar will solve it. 
    • So a follow up and my fix. I found in online searches the live data to look at on a scan tool to verify the fuel tank pressure sensor was working.  It showed an spec number towards the lower end of the rang, but in spec.  Then while it was running opened the gas cap and the pressure should change.  It didn't change even a tiny bit.  The data for the purge valve said it was open...never changed. So then I measured the voltages on the plug for the fuel pressure sensor and they matched what it should be.  So local car quest parts had the sensor in stock...it was a bit of a pain to remove and an even bigger one to get it to actually go back in.  It helped to unbolt the driveshaft and bungie cord away from the gas tank to give a bit more room to work. So fuel tank pressure sensor in I cleared the code, and started it up.  I went to the scan tool's live data and... Eureka! The pressure number was different and fluctuated a bit.  So took it on a short drive and pressure number varied saw the purge valve go from closed to open and back to closed.  Drove it to and from work for roughly a week plugged in the scan tool no codes.  I took it in to get tested and passed.  In my state's infinite wisdom (oops meant greed), since I pushed the test with the maximum extensions I have to take it back in by Feb '27 to 'get it back up to date', then my next test won't be until Feb '29. 
    • Any grease on the stud threads of any kind?   Wheel studs should have NOTHING on them for proper torquing and so the nuts don't back off.     Are all of the mating surfaces clean?  So wheel, rotor and hub?     We've had plenty of trucks at work with that wheel, this is a first to me.  Makes me think they've got a lube tech putting anti-seize on all the wheel studs or some kind of grease, and they need to stop doing that.  To have 11 other trucks with the same exact problem.      
    • I was a Chevy guy for years, then switched to GMC because I liked the looks better.  I'm actually thinking I like the Chevy looks better than GMC for the first time in a lot of years.   One thing I know for certain, the new GMC dash is hideous!  Chevy wins this one!
