HI,

I added the side picture you wanted to see. I realize it's not as lifted as some of the nice trucks posted here, I did it just high enough to still fit in my garage every night. Bought it new 9-21-15 and have 25,305 miles today 11-11-19.

Thanks

Did you have to use spacers for the front at all? I have a 3.5 lift and run the same rims with open country at2 and I use a 1/4 spacer. I’m going to lift it to 7inches and want to keep the same rims and tires.

What wheels are these?

They are a set of factory 20's off of a 2015 GMC Sierra All Terrain. I worked out a trade with a guy when i put the lift on to get rid of the factory 18's I had. These are still my all time favorite wheels I've seen from the factory.

My 2016 Sierra after level and tires. Went with the Bilstein 5100s (1.85" level), and 275/60r20 Goodyear Wrangler Trailrunner ATs, stock SLT Premium Plus wheels.

Love the setup so far, ride is 10 times better, absolutely zero rubbing, no noticeable MPG loss (these trailrunners are the same weight as the stock tires). I think it looks perfect, it gives the truck a real "OEM+" look.

Thankss!! They are super quiet on the highway, which was a big deal to me. I got all 4 for just over $600 installed at Sam's

Anyone on here run a Fabtech 4” Uniball lift for Denali pickups with Magride?  I have a ‘17 Denali and looking for a 4” lift & would like to keep my stock 20” Denali chrome wheels.  The Fabtech website says that their lift isn’t compatible with stock wheels, but I’m assuming that with 1 1/2” spacers I should still be able to keep em.  

 

Also, looking to run 305/55r20 BFG KO2s.  However the Fabtech site lists a 295/55r20 tire size would fit with minor plastic trimming.  Anyone run the 4” Fabtech lift with something larger that the 295’s?

Here's my before and after on my 2018 sierra. 

3.5 RC Knuckle lift.

1.5" wheel spacers

Stock 20s

295/60R20 Falken wildpeak at3s- 34x11.5

Did have to do the norcal fender mod for some rubbing in reverse. Have a good 1"+ clearance every way now.

Hey folks. Can anyone tell me if these stock 2015 Silverado 17's have the pocket for spacers?  I know I could take them off and check but I figured someone would probably know.

Nice Ride!

Where did you put the 1.5" spacers?

    • I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps. 
    • Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.
    • 10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O. 
    • Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.    
    • apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
