295/55R20 Trail Grapplers

The cure for any squeak, Rattle or any annoying sound your truck previously made. Even the steering wheel clicking... Gone! And it looks badass :)

Sarosi6671 Sorry I'm new to the forum n not sure how to put your quote into my message, and haven't found any other posts with info on your set up,but what I was wondering is if you had to do any trimming, or if the wheels n tires fit without rubbing? I have a 2 inch fabtech leveling kit, and that is the same offset and close to the same wheel I'm looking for. Also, do u have any more pictures of the truck, maybe down the side showing how much the tires stick out? Thanks, sweet looking truck!

Looks amazing. Can you take some pics at full lock? I can't imagine this doesn't rub the sway bar at full lock, but if it dosen't you just gave me new hope for running the 325/50/22 Toyo AT2s on stock 22s.

I love this truck. It's my favorite look and set up. I'm looking for the wheel too. If you don't want the 285/55/22 terra's. Let me know. I have a '14 SLT CC SB WHITE 4X4 with 2.5 level. I really love this look. Great job.

I'll try to get some full lock pics for you today...

It's white vinyl lol I had removed the LED lights to mess with them and didn't want dirt / rain getting in there so I put white vinyl over it

I will probably be selling the Terras, thinking about keeping the 35 Trails... If you're local (DFW, TX) and interested in the 285/55/22 Terras let me know

No I'm not local I'm in Denver. I'll be getting a 1.5 body also. Will the 285/55/22 fit with out rubbing and what gears do you have. Will I lose any HP Going from 20" wheels to 22"/34" tires with 3.42 gears. Thanks

Hey Bagged I like the GMC over the silverado you had before. It looks like you have the amp power steps on your truck with the 1.5" body lift. If you do what was done for them to clear the center body mount bracket when they fold up. I have the zone 1.5" body lift on order right now but wasn't sure the best way to get the power steps to clear the mount. Would you mind snapping a pic thanks for any help.

You have to remove the bolt / washer and trim for clearance. I never did this on my Silverado and annoyed my so bad, so I finally investigated it on the Sierra and fixed the issue. Keep the cut parallel to the body and as close to that bolt as allowed to still function.

Wow it really clears them that well? Any trimming at all?

How could I trim the sway bar? Lol I haven't done any flexed full lock instigation but everyday driving I haven't had any issue Edited by baggedlvintegra

I figured it took some trimming but that looks like more than a trim. My understanding is that the hellwig front sway bar will get you some extra clearance, I personally don't have a sway bar on mine, seeing the 35 inch tires on your's I think 305 65 18 should clear on mine no problem. I'm running -12 bs with 285 65 18 and they rub at full lock in reverse so the 305 have me a little leary. Thanks for the pic

Damn near the same circumference as my 295/45/22, so I don't have to change any speedometer setting.

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      By UrbanRage · Posted

      I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
