Bought these off a 2015 Cadillac SUV, owner went with 24" setup so I sold my 20's and went with this setup, had to buy center bowtie caps but other than that fit right on. Had some issues swapping my TPS sensors (wouldn't reprogram at 1st) but I like the look.

Completely stock. No rubbing. Here is another angle.

Those are the All Terrains and you just swapped caps right? Where did you get the caps?

My wheels are actually Machined Denali Wheels. Gm# 5699. I found them on craigslist when I blew a tire and scratched a wheel. My truck came with 18's but the dealer let me use my 5 spoke 20s off of my '14. I just used the caps from them. That reminds me. Ive got 3 really nice OEM 20" 5 spoke wheels if anyone wants to make an offer... ha

Think we need more pics. What grill and flares?

Let me see if I can get some more loaded up... I've had the truck for about 4 weeks now, here's what she looked like when I bought her a month ago.

Here's a little different angle to show the grill. I picked it up off eBay, I'll see if I can pull up the manufacturer again. It was a PIA to install, but I love how it turned out. I moved the Z71 emblem to the new grill which took some time, and it's a drill and bolt on install so there's no going back unless I buy a replacement.

 

The flares are Lund Elite Series that I actually picked up in the "For Sale" forum already painted. The passenger front didn't fit right at all when I got them, there was a 1/2" gap between the top of the flare and the fender when it was installed. Naturally I started with the drivers front and worked my way around the truck so it was the last one to install, so I had to figure out how to make it work. A couple clamps, some 2x4's and a heat gun and now it fits better than the others. Lol

The lift is a combination of the stock parts off of a Lingenfelter Reaper (all the fox stuff), a Superlift 3.5" kit with new A arms, and an add-a-leaf for the rear. It's right at 4" of lift up front and the add-a-leaf has it sitting with about 1/2" rake in the rear.

The grille is a Paramount Evolution mesh insert, part number 46-0765 which is for Z71 models only. Here's a link to it on Summit:

 

http://www.summitracing.com/ga/parts/pmt-46-0765

 

 

I picked mine up off the big auction site for $160 shipped. Unfortunately it didn't come with instructions and they're closed on Saturdays, so I spent a little time researching how to install it. The factory grille has to be removed to install, not too difficult, the two outer bolts on the bottom are a pain though. Like I mentioned earlier, the grille install was a bit of a pain. It took almost 4hrs.

 

I didn't install the smaller strips between the upper and lower inserts, thought it would be too much (I think I'm going to make a license plate frame out of them). The grille is made very well. It's heavy, all stainless and powder coated black. I did have to trim the outer mount tabs on all 4 ends to allow it to be pulled in enough to sit flush, even those were stainless.

 

 

This is right after I finished installing it. Not the best shot because of all the evening shadows...

Looks killer, what all goes into flare install? Have to drill right? Curious what suspension set you back, fit in garage still?

Appreciate it!

 

As for the flares, there's no drilling. They're pocket style flares, the outer bolts just give the look like they're drilled and bolted to the fender. They're held on with clips and bolt on brackets, very easy install and they're very solid.

 

As far as the suspension, it's a little crazy. I actually picked all the Reaper stuff up used off eBay. It had 12k miles on it when the guy took it to a shop to have it swapped out for a 6" lift. Why he didn't tell them to keep the fox stuff, I don't know, because they definetly could have used them with the right spacers and his new kit. I picked the whole Reaper package up for $800 shipped. I had to buy the Superlift kit because the Reaper stuff was for a steel A arm truck and mine is aluminum, plus I wanted to add the differential drop to help the angles and the Reaper Doesnt use them. It cost me $550 from Summit. The add-a-leaf was something I wanted to go with instead of a lift block in the rear because I pull our 21' boat with it and wanted the extra support. It was $80 from Summit. So I've got about $1450 in it, I installed it all myself and then took it and had it aligned (another $80).

 

Not sure if it'll fit in the garage or not... it's occupied by my C6 Vette. :cool:

I had my last one done with large tires and a level and in turn made towing a trailer more difficult, which is the only reason why not on this one.

Yeah they really match it well on his. Trying to remember if I've seen yours, probably have. Trying to decide how these would look on blue granite LTZ because I love that wheel. So much chrome I feel I need a wheel with some chrome/polish/etc to tie in.

They are black but do have almost a bronze/off black kind of finish in the light so might not flow with the blue granite. Maybe see some in person and you'll know

Here's a pic

Thanks, took a while to pick them out haha. In the sun they shine a bright bronze but in the dark they appear black.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sad thing is that this doesn't have to be the case. LSPI can be solved without a reduction in TBN. Swap Ca for Mg.  Cats are not a issue if the OEM can get a ring and valve guide seal even at SN levels of SAPS. Dizzy is purring like a kitten with a bowl of warm milk. 200K of Full SAPS oil and zero detonation issues and nice a clean inside and out. This shouldn't be an issue. It isn't 1920.    Tell ya what AMSOIL SS is excellent at, internal cleanliness. The new formula is even a step up from their already outstanding cleanliness levels. Can't say the OEM offering is quite that clean. There marketing suggest the SS is cleaner.     That is the only defense with at shelf oil. Nothing wrong with them if you ignore the marketing and OEM 'recommended' OCI and use a thimble full of common sense. 😉 You go sir.

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By StingerZ16 · Posted

      I started with a folding cover by BAK PAC on my 2500. It went bad after close to 5 years. Bent and vinyl coming loose. Contacted BAK and they gave me a very good discount on a Revolver. Had it a number of years. Mostly outdoor storage. Some garage storage. Vinyl started to come loose. Still under warranty so they replaced to cover. Sold the 2500, bought the 1500 and got another revolver for it. Had it a couple years now and no issues. I store it indoors. Got a bit of discount when buying it as well. If you are seeing problems, contact BAK or real truck and let them know. Customer service was pretty good. But I think they changed their warranty.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I agree, there is no one answer fits all as every rig is different, one may be pulling some little aluminum fishing boat while another is towing a monstrosity that weighs a lot and hopefully the owner if the rig has some prior experience to know what drive mode they should choose.    It also struck me and this is from watching a few of those boat ramp escapades videos in the past, Ford being one of the vehicles that has the auto front axle hubs and sure enough its found out that one hub has crapped out and won't engage and may not have manual hubs to even select on both sides so they are on the boat ramp stuck with no four wheel drive and spinning .... they flat out need a tow to get up the ramp and deal with the vehicles new found issues. That can happen to all brands of pickup, finding out either four wheel drive or 4 low isn't working right at the time its needed it to work as some electronic crap has failed.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its possible you never had the joy of the crappy boat launches we tend to have around here or really some of them are just grades down to the river if its a river scenario and the conditions change all the time with the river levels and silt deposits. Some of the lakes we went to years ago, there was no such thing as a cement pad that went down into the water that the trailer stayed on, it was gravel maybe up to the water line and then duck crap much beyond that so sinking the boat tires into mud. Of course some of the more established lakes had a cement bar type boat ramp but sometimes it was covered in green slime closer and certainly within the water and a two wheel drive had all sorts of fun if one had to touch that slime with the rear tires.    A neighbor of mine had made a comment years back with his chev truck that was probably about the same year as yours but a half ton extended cab 4x4 and he a a fiberglass boat with an inboard so it wasn't a feather weight and he had gone out to one of the large popular lakes in the area and don't ask me how this happened but he was in two wheel drive as he figured he didn't require four wheel drive for that boat ramp and somehow upon pulling the boat out he twisted one of his drive axles. I suspect it must have spun and then grabbed on the cement ramp and shocked it to the degree of twisting it. He would have had the standard 8.5 or whatever it was axle housing as the 9.5 ring gear like my truck has also has larger drive axles as far as I know. Anyway he was feeling a vibration driving home and had it checked out and a shop found that the tire/hub was wobbling because of the axle had twisted so in went a new drive axle. After that bad experience he said he made sure to put it into four wheel drive to lower the stress on the rear axle. Of course that is where an HD truck can handle a lot more stress and no doubt these newer half tons with their larger ring gears probably have larger drive axles as well to match vs back in the day.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      Desirable - as in does someone WANT one, aspire to have one. Could reasonably buy any car they want and CHOOSE these instead.    I didn't watch the video, why did they win?
