I'll lift the entire truck 1" not just the front. Maybe 1.25 front and 1" back. We'll see.

Just had the KO2's put on, 275/65R20 with a 2" BDS level. No rubbage.

 

 

Hoping you were telling the truth. UPS just dropped off a set of Cooper ATP in 275/65-20 that will be mounted this weekend. I have the Rancho Quicklift. With the Rancho QL (and even before), when I crank my wheel all the way to the right in reverse, the front passenger side 275/55-20 rubs a bit on the liner.

Let us know how it goes and post up some pics when they're on!

So far (200 miles), I'm loving the Cooper ATP 275/65-20 (34") tires. With the OEM 275/55-20 (32") , when I was backing up with wheels at full right lock, I'd get rubbing on the wheel well liner, so I still have it, but no rubbing at all unless at extreme right lock. I'm going to try to zip tie the corner of the liner back and if that doesn't get it done, I am not scared of scissors. I have the Rancho Quick Lift at all four corners. The Coopers look a hell of a lot meaner than the SRA's. Man the SRAs are just craptastic tires. Already had two flats with them in 7K. The Coppers are just barely noticeably louder, but nowhere close to mud tires' constant hum. I was worried that I'd lose some ride quality going to the 10 ply, but the extra 1" of sidewall height seems to cancel it out- I can't tell that they're any more rough/ stiff. The best part is that Discount Tire Direct jsut had a deal on eBay for $100 off $400 purchases, so I bought two sets of two tires and saved $200 and Cooper had a rebate going so I will be getting another $70 back from them. All in all, I'm out $758 for the tires and $80 to mount and balance. The installer did tell me ahead of time that mounting them would peel off some of the plastidip around the edge of the rims, so I will either peel it all off or re-dip, maybe in black this time.

Excuse my dumb question as I'm new to all of this and it's my first truck ? but what kind of leveling kit or loft do I need to run 33x12.50 or is there a size that's similar to this?

The stock 275/55-20 tires are 32" tall and 10.8" wide. 275/60-20 tires are 33" tall and 10.8" wide. The ones I just had put on are 275/65-20 and are 34" tall and 10.8" wide. You can run the 33" tall 10.8" wide tires without a lift. The Rancho Quick Lifts I put on lifted the front end about 2" and allow me to run the 34" x 10.8" with very minimal rubbing- just on the wheel well liner. With a tire that is 12.5" wide, I'd think you'd be looking at different wheels and/or a spacer to move the wheels further out from the truck body. With a 12.5" wide tire, you should expect to lose maybe 2 to 3 mpgs from the increased wind they're pushing and increased rolling resistance. Kind of like how a racing 10 speed road bike has little skinny tires to make it easier to go faster than the same bike with mountain bike tires.

Also interested in the cost on powder coating.

What size rims will you be using? If we know that, then we can give you a few options in metric sizes that will be close. And, just about any 2"-2.5" level kit will clear a 33" tire (or close to it).

500$ Canadian. So like 10$ US

500$ Canadian. Only because they have to do the center cap in a special way with urethane or something. Without center caps I was quoted 375$ Canadian.

I would be running stock rims so I guessing that wont work? Just want to fill up the wheel well more I'm trying to decide between 275/65 or 275/70

For guys running the 285/65r18's what psi are you running? I'm gonna run 45F 42R for the next few days, it came back from the dealer at 30 which I thought was too low.

      Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      The thinking is that starting out in a higher gear makes it easier to avoid applying excessive torque when pressing the gas pedal. In a modern 4wd truck with 4 low and a limited slip or locking rear end, I would use 4 low and try to crawl up the ramp. Sometimes if they are too slippery, you have to back up to let the boat have some bouyancy, and then accelerate briskly to get some momentum to help you pull the through the slippery parts.

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.
