Lift&tires

[seansharley]

Just looking for a few ideas/opinions. I haven't lifted the past few silverados I have owned for fear of losing the smooth ride. I have the 70+ shake, so I'm thinking gm can't fix it, I might as well lift it, and put the tires I want. At least if its going to shake, I might as well have the look I want. Thinking 3", with 33/12.50/20, or 305/55/20. Thank you in advance for the help

GM must be getting some batches of bad tires. Probably the cheapest bidder got the contract. Glad you fixed your vibe.

Sean, did you have the rear 70+ vibration? Did you have any warranty work done for your vibration, or just swap to the Terra Grapplers? Thanks!

Yes, had the 70+ shake, dealer swapped 2 gy for 2 new gy, road forced, still shaking. Put 4 new Michelin, no shake for about 5,000 miles, shake came back, I decided to lift it, change wheels, tires, shake gone again.

Wow, looks killer! Yeah I am relatively certain mine is all tires. I am of the same opinion you are and if is gonna shake might as well lift it and put bigger tires on it. Hopefully your's stays vibration free! What lift did you go with? Thanks!

A local wheel shop installed a rough country 3½" suspension lift. They also said I was going to need a 1½" body lift to fit the tires I wanted, I said do the suspension, as I didn't want them going any higher. Worked out good

How much for parts? How much for labor?

[seansharley]

It was a package deal with the wheels and tires, not positive.
