Thinking about going with a very similar setup. Any chance you can take a pic down the side to see how far they stick out? Thanks in advance!

What's the largest tire I can run on stock 17'' rims at stock height? Saw that Spurshot ran 305/60r18 at stock height, could I run 305/65r17?

Got my rims back from powdercoating yesterday! Just waiting on the ko2's to come in!

Going to swap to black McGard lugs when they arrive from Amazon. Also added a dual wall Gibson 4" black ceramic coated exhaust tip to set off the wheels. I love silver-the truck is dirty in these pics-drove through a rain storm with Cquartz on.

Gibson 500427-B, not cheap, but when you see one in person you'll understand why (double wall very thick). Shipping weight was 5 lbs.

I did have to widen the clamping slot with a metabo blade to allow it to clamp tighter.

This looke A+ man. Love the Silver and Black combination. I really like those tires, let me know how much you like them compared to the OE Goodyears.

Thanks, I love it.

 

Will do. I'm a huge Michelin fan. Only issue is I need to sand some of the bores as the paint is heavy making two center caps not fit flush. I've got a 1" front lift kit (lower Al spacer blocks) I'm going to add this week to raise the front end a little. I think that will look nice but keep some rake for loads. I have airbags, but I don't want to add air every time I put a load in the back.

 

The truck rides much stiffer than with the 18" wheels and Goodyears. I had to put my adjustable rear sway bar on full soft (was at middle setting) to get the rear end to settle down at 75+ on a rough section of interstate. The truck had a center console shake but only on rough interstate, moving the bar to full soft fixed it. I suspect with a load in the bed this issue would go away and the bar could be stiffened back up.

    • 2024 l8t . Ac has never felt really cold even new. But lately it seems a little warmer. When it gets in the upper 80s and a little more humid it just does not keep up. And sometimes at idle it gets warm. My wife's 2008 envoy is better. My son's 2016 is colder. I have an apointment for a third try Monday the 29th at a third dealer to try and get cold ac before my warranty is out. The first two told me something about so many degrees under ambient temp blah blah blah seemed like they didn't want to mess with me. This was set at low. Max air fan speed high. 87 degrees and a little humid.   .
    • It isn’t all that bad in the world with purchasing power versus quality. My first car had just basic equipment. My oil choice was conventional oil. The life expectancy was around 100K miles. During that time you could expect to change all the accessories. Today with inflation you can buy the equivalent. It comes fully loaded with 4 doors. The life expectancy passes 100K miles replacing no accessories. If reaching that milestone is your goal you simply follow the recommended service intervals. If you want more miles simply do more maintenance. When in doubt you can check the internet or YouTube for information. The selling of any product hasn’t changed since the beginning of time. The power of the buyer has. The price of the product hasn’t changed much with inflation. The buying public wants more. Competition and the buying public has put the sellers in a box. The greed is on both sides. You can still get more for less. You just have to do with less. That used to be popular. The buying public has changed . It’s the sellers that are trying to keep up. As Grumpy tries to inform the readers in this case with maintenance. If you want more. More effort is required. That information wasn’t available this easily just a few years ago. I believe the public has more power. Getting information is easier.
    • Gentlemen, I'm new to this forum. My question is, I thought I have read somewhere that the rear wheel liners for 2024- 2026 GMC Sierra HD3500 DRW can/will fit the 2023. I can't seem to find that information again and wondering if anybody has any knowledge if these will work or not with the 2023? Part# is 84892542. Thank you for any information. The GMC parts counter wasn't able to give my any definitive answer? 
    • Spacers aren’t safe anyway, so you’re better off just buying something else.  
    • Its because they have thread locking compound on them. I would bet money that they are actually reusable and not a literal TTY bolt because GM and most other OEMs don't trust techs and the end-user to apply thread locker properly in the same way they don't trust anyone to solder properly (and instead instructing crimps everywhere). Torque To Angle =/ Torque To Yield.   If you think dealerships or any technician replaces every 'discard' bolt in every procedure, I have a bridge to sell you.
