Well I have a few rims that's been on my mind. But I would like to see what else is out there.. before you show me rim ideas and pics.. I'm going to lower my truck. And the rim has to be 24 inch. No black rims. Painted or polished and maybe chrome. I already picked out tires 285/40/24 toyo's.. so please share your ideas and pics. I'm a crew cab standard bed

So let me understand this....

You want to lower your truck while putting a wider and taller tire/wheel on your truck????

Most are leveling their trucks to fit that size tire package.

Good luck, but you will rub every time you turn the wheel, you will bottom out more often, and your ride will greatly be reduced running such small side walls. You will feel every bump twice as hard..... I feel sorry for your kidneys already

Well I've been lowering my trucks since day one. I don't buy cheap lowering components. My last truck was way to low for my. But it rode 10 times better than stock.. 5/8 drop

I want to lower my 4x4 truck....just with a shackle kit and block removal. Level the truck by removing rear components instead of adding to the front to raise it. Being in MI I have to think about the snow that we get. Sometimes its a lot and sometimes we don't have much. Shackle kits are cheap and can easily be removed if i need to go back to stock.

 

I think if you did the same the 24's would fit better and with less modification. People have put 26's on Silverado's before. Spacers and some modification may be needed for those though.

 

i have to say 24's look sweet on our trucks. Dont let these other folks tell you different. Its your truck, do what you want.

If you use the shackle kit you wont need to remove the rear blocks.

Just my opinion, but I would stay away from anything chrome. Most, if not all, new wheels use a cheap PVD chrome coating. Real chroming has nearly been completely shut down due to the EPA. PVD will pit and peel no matter how well you take care of them.

I agree....chrome gets destroyed peel & pit etc rather quickly

Been there done that...Never again

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
