I have not noticed any rubbing as of now, had the set up for two weeks and haven't had any rub on the liner and havent felt a rub on the sway bar or control arm.

Anything I've done to this truck is 100% reversible. When I sell it in two years it will be as stock as the day it left the dealer!

Looks good, I was thinking of dipping my AT wheels before I put them back on for winter. Will def be doing it now

Has anyone seen the new fuel maverick anthracite wheels on any new gm's or chevy yet? If so where. Could be a game changer for the iridium metallic guys. Cant wait to see how they will look!

I'm probably going with a 265/70/18 in kO2, no lift. OEM wheels for now. Eventually NVs. Hoping no rub on OEM wheels.

I had them, but they didn't look that good with the color of my truck. I switched over to black Mavericks and the truck looks so much better.

The anthracite may look good on an iridium truck.

Thanks for the pictures, truck looks awesome. Ya not sure how those would look now. Look almost like a light grey and the iridium is defiantly darker. Cant go wrong with the black though!

Could you post a picture down the side of the truck? I've been looking at the same size wheel with same offset.

 

Never mind I saw your pics in the leveling kit thread!

Not a problem at all, they fit really well with plenty of clearance.

How is the ride with this set up? Did your mpg suffer any?

Im thinking very hard on Torque Thrust ST's with Nitto 285/50R20's. I'm into the street look and will be keeping the OEM's for winter duty...

I know you want those rims which do look nice, but I don't think they would look good on any truck unless it's lowered to some degree. Don't have to be slammed, just a little lower. Just my opinion though.

I was thinking the same thing, just didn't mention it. My plan was to lower it in the spring, raise in the fall when swapping back to OEM tires. I haven't checked into the feasibility of doing this though, any idea if it's too involved a deal to do yearly?

    • I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose      
    • Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)    
    • Ok, I got the all the codes. What do you all think would be a place to start?
    • How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
