With a 3" front level and stock rear block, isn't it a little higher in front than in the rear? Or is it exactly level?

Measured from pavement to center of fender (top center over wheel) front is exactly 1/4" higher in the front vs rear on mine. Looks exactly level to the naked eye though.

Boltman, do you have a side shot. I have a 3 inch as well and your stance and the way the wheels sit is exactly what I'm looking for. Curious to see how much tire is past the fender

Sure do. Took this one the day I got my wheels and tires installed. -20 off set was key in pushing mine out (aggresive look I wanted) Increase chance of rubbing on turns though.

Thanks. Looks perfect. Exactly what I want. I have the 3 inch as well. Lot of clearance work?

For those of you running RTs on 17s what PSI are you running? My local place airs everything to 40ish so I'm at 42-45psi right now and want to air down to 35 truthfully but would that be too low for this tire?

I aired down to 37 and the ride is 10x better. On the way out to the farm pressure was at 45/46 and man it was rough.

Here is where I needed to trim to get a 33.4"x12.3 tire on 18x9 -12 rims to work with no rubbing. It wasn't too bad but I did need to eleviate some metal :smoker:

Best i could do before leaving work, then it started pouring down rain :/ love it though. 295/70/17 RTs with Method NVs. Stoked with how it turned out and surprisingly no rubbing, even with the little 1.8" the Bilstein's provide. Now i just wish i had 6112s and new control arms lol.C8BB12B3-9CA6-4FFE-86EC-DCCA7CAD6EE9_zps

The local place had them at 45. I couldn't stand it, dropped it to 36/37 yesterday. It's 10x better now. Truthfully i like 35 and maybe even 30 in some instances but right now i'm satisfied with 36/37.

Your setup just cost me some money. Just ordered the 17" NV's in black. Saw your post on the hide for that Razor too, small world. I was tempted but you got me on the wheel's first.

Lol sorry man! I wish i could've talked to you about the Razor ha i need some cash at the moment. My laptop is going downhill and i also want to fund a 4.5-27x56 Gen II razor for my match rifle. You'll enjoy the methods though. They look great on these trucks.

 

I will say at first i thought zero offset would be fine as it's almost flush, but upon heading out to the farm yesterday they do stick out some. I'll need to get some fender flares later on to take care of that. I also am rubbing just a tad at full lock on the sway bar. But it's barely. Other than that no rub at all.

Damn I just ended up selling my 4.5-27 Razor. Could have done a swap trade, did drop some money on coilover's though so there is that lol. I ordered the 0 offset's as the same as yours. Do you think the +18 would have been a better choice with less rubbing?

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      Howdy folks,   Recently I pulled a heated steering wheel and clock spring out of a 2015 Sierra All Terrain (part numbers coming soon - will have to disassemble), and just installed it on my 2016 Sierra WT (as base model as it gets).   On install, I noticed that I’m missing the connector often tucked behind the dash for the heating element.     No problem… or so I thought.   I used an “Add-A-Fuse” at my heated steering wheel fuse location, which has voltage, but no wires. I ran it to the positive of the heated steering wheel (Violet/White), and took black to ground.   Hooked up the battery, turned the truck on - no heated steering wheel. No button backlights. Was pleased to see that my cruise control was working though.   Read a post suggesting reversing polarity, so I gave it a shot. Violet and White to ground, Black to power.    Aha! Heat! But I seemingly can’t turn it off AND still no backlights on any of the buttons.    Checked all fuses, everything is still in good order. I’m stumped.   Does anyone have any insight? If so, please share!

      I'm about 1800 miles into my last oil change, and yesterday a message appeared saying oil life was at 77%. Not sure why it popped up but I think all of these electronics could be susceptible to solar flares or somesuch. I change my oil right at 3K each time, and that was the first time in 10870 miles that message came up. Strange thing is that it showed on the screen at all since I don't drive with that sort of info displayed on the DIC.

      Checked the pads today and there's plenty of meat on them. If the message keeps coming up, I'll just answer YES that the pads were replaced and wait for the squeal.
