Yes Steel, fairly certain all the All/Terrain trucks come with steel.

Yeah not sure haha. Ordered my zone 6.5 today can't wait to get it. Still trying to decide on wheels and tires. Leaning toward Firestone destination MTs and Xd addict Or heist wheels in black

With the 4.5 zone lift, how much are the tires gonna stick out the side with the factory 20s, I want to keep then under as much as possible, any thoughts on the 3.5 rough country with control arms?

That is how far the stock wheel and 35" tire will protrude. If you want less why not go with a thinner than 12.5" tire.

The 3.5" RC level kit? I hear bad things about a level kit that high (no experience). I think the 5" RC lift keeps stock track width...if that's what u are asking

I have to ask what would you recommend? I am fairly new to all this, as you can see!

How would a 285/65r20 look under that zone 4.5, seems ad it should fill it out fairly well and be completely free and clear of any rubbing issues

Well you can fit a 35"x12.5" tire with a zone lift and stock wheel with no rubbing. A 285/65r20 is pretty dang close to a 35" diameter just comes in a bit thinner at 11.2" so it would be close to flush with the fender to be honest. Would stick out just a little.

'14 Silverado 1500. 6 inch lift on 35x13.5x20

Did you have to run spacers on the front to keep the stock wheels? And how noticeable is the wider track width in the front compared to the back? I wanna do a 6 inch super lift on mine but I wanna keep the stock 20's and I'm worried the tires sticking out more in the front is going to stand out bad....help me out man lol I'm torn

So when you use the stock wheels on a lifted truck, do you end up using a spacer? I want to get a 4 inch lift but keep my stock wheels. I also don't want to go to wide out but at the same time I understand that as the truck gets higher the ability to roll over increases.

    • Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge. 
    • There are no stickers in your glovebox?
    • Look at the numbers on the stickers in the door jam...
    • Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.
    • After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
