Dood...might have just made up my mind for me. Love your setup. Looks great! I'm putting on a 2" level this weekend. Still no issues with your setup?

Thanks!

I'm still very happy with my setup. My MPG has went down about 2.5 MPG but that was somewhat to be expected.

I still find myself looking back at the truck every time I exit it. It just looks so good IMO.

Just got my tires and wheels installed today. Method NV 18x9 -12 offset with Falken WildPeak AT3 275/70R18 with 2" RC level. Came out exactly the way I want it, the front is about 1" outside the fender, the back maybe 1/2" outside. Slight rub when full lock reverse, so I will try the zip tie trick tonight. It is a lot quieter than I expected for E rated tires, ride is a little bumpier on highway, but still very acceptable, but right now I am think about upgrading to some Bilstein 5100.

Awesome wheels! Do you think if you had gone with +18 instead of -12, it would have been a better fit?

I think it would fit better, but I want a slightly more aggressive look, I wanted to make my tires almost flush with my side steps.

How's the ride; much rougher than stock? And what tire pressures have you been using; about 40 psi all around? Sorry for the interrogation lol. Just curious about the details before dropping the cash.

The ride is stiffer than stock for sure, but after 1000 miles give or take I gotten used to it. It's not that bad. I'm running 52 psi, that's what Nitto recommended when I contacted them.

I can live with that; worth it. Thanks!

That color combo goes great with the truck, nice work. I wish they made the NV in polished or Chrome, I want to try something new.

I think Method has a bronze version of the NV, but I was afraid it might standout too much on my silver truck. I had a Subaru WRX years ago that is silver with bronze rims, it looks good on that car, but not sure how it would look on my truck.

Someone on here has some on a black truck. Actually looks pretty good. I think he powder-coated some black Methods.

I like the bronze on silver. I like it on blue too, maybe I'll try that.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By tjonesdfw · Posted

      Whoever greenlighted the work truck matte black front bumpers on every trim but the AT4X should be fired!  I was hoping that was an AI mistake, but just realized they were on every model of the 2027 Silverado too.     Some parts of the interior do look premium, but the Denali Ultimate dashboard looks like an afterthought.  At least they appear to have lost the microfiber the high end Silverado models showed, but the '27 High Country dash looks better than the Denali.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      New member here. I am researching a read-first event-recorder concept for late-model GM V8 trucks. This is not a sales post. There is no product link, price, preorder, or mailing list. I am trying to determine whether the underlying problem is real before building anything.   Has your truck ever had a brief problem such as: - rough running or a momentary misfire - an oil-pressure warning or unusual pressure event - reduced power or a brief stall - a U-code or lost-communication problem - a symptom that disappeared before the dealer or independent shop could reproduce it   If so, I would appreciate the following details: - year, model, engine, and mileage - what happened and under what conditions - whether a DTC and useful freeze-frame data were stored - whether the shop was able to reproduce it - what the eventual confirmed repair was, if known - what additional information would have helped the diagnosis   The concept being evaluated is a removable leave-in recorder that continuously retains a rolling window from before and after an event. It would not tune, reflash, clear codes, or change the vehicle calibration.   I am also not claiming that it could predict lifter failure or see every internal ECM variable.   The real question is whether continuous event history would add enough useful evidence beyond freeze frame, GDS2, and existing scan tools — or whether it would simply be another unnecessary gadget.   For owners and technicians, which problem would make something like this genuinely useful: 1. intermittent misfire or AFM/DFM-related behavior 2. oil-pressure events 3. lost communication or electrical faults 4. none of the above Please be blunt. Negative feedback is just as useful as positive feedback.

      No tears over the SLE and SLT trim levels disappearing but I kind of loathe the "Elevation" name. It's a truck--skip the elegance.   The slab-dashboard design is decidedly different. Almost has a Hummer flavor to it. "Professional Grade" seems to be leaning very white-collar, tech-driven these days moreso than blue-collar, functional design.   The Silverado would be my choice between the two new trucks. Pleased with the engine lineup in both. The GMC is a little "too much" for a truck, IMO, and the Denali borders on ridiculous - but I do know there are buyers for luxury trucks out there. It's just not my speed.

      - I like the outside but not as much as the Chevrolet.  They ICE'd the EV styling and it works, but I think exterior goes to Chevy on this one.     - SLE and SLT dead = Not.  Surprising.  Fits into the rest of the GMC lineup like this which (aside from Pro) matches the rest of the family.  Elevation, AT4, Denali.     - Interior.  Sophisticated Malaise era.  Why do I say Malaise?  Drawn with a ruler.  Rectangles everywhere.  Looks very premium though.
