Right now just the mcgaughy, but I'd like to up grade soon.. Just dished out a lot of money at the moment lol. As far as the gears I think you'll be fine either way, 4.56 at the very least. The cost is the same and if you ever want to tow you'll have all the power you need. No cutting other then the front valance .. I'll take better images later this week

everything was done this week.. There is a little rubbing at full turns on the inner fender .. The gears all went in.. As far as gears go I would say 4.56 is plenty .. I'm fine with the 4.88 .. Rpm's are about 2250 at 70mph give or take.

 

Here is a list of what's done so far

 

7-9" mcgaughy lift set to 9" with rear add a leaf 1.5" ss kit

Custom grill and hood scoop painted to match

37x13.50r24 fuel mud tires

24x12 fuel maverick rims with center powder coated to match paint

Extang solid fold 2.0 cover

Dual exhaust

Complete regear from stock 3.08 to 4.88 front to back with duragrip posi track

Diablo t1000 tuner

N-fab chrome side steps

5% window tint all around

54" curved light bar arrived today and will be installed this week

Would you be able to get part numbers for us all? I have the same gearing as you did and want to regear to 4.56. A parts list that you used would be good to double check the shop to install.

I just called Randy's ring and pinion and asked for a complete regear kit for a 4x4 with a duragrip posi .. It was a lot of different stuff.. I'm sure if you called they could give you a list

Really is a good looking truck man. Did setting the lift at 9" make the front track width wider in the front and if so did you get spacers for the rears to even it out? The only thing I have left is deciding whether or not to get 4.56s or 4.88s. Cause most of the guys on 35s seem to have 4.56s but a select few guys on 37s are geared with 4.10s and 4.56s. I do have the 6 speed with the 5.3 so not as nice as the 8 speed 6.2 like some of the guys unfortunately. All the shops keep telling me I would have to cut the wheel well arches and some of the bumper with the 22x12-44s which kind of sucks cause I really like the lip size so I may just play it safe and get the 10" wies-13 offset mavericks. Thanks for all the info brother.

I'm running 24x12 with -44 off set and didn't have to do any of that .. I would say 4.56 or 4.88 with 37 and 4.56 with 35.. 4.10 will get you similar to stock but no additional power if you ever tow or do anything off-road.. You'll just end up feeling like your bogged down

Thanks for the info man. For your add a leaf in the rear was it part # 50005 McGaughys brand or pro comp brand? Some of the retailers are trying to sell pro comp brand with their kits and just verifying that it will fit as well. Thanks

Alright, do you remember the part number of those add a leafs when they came in and also how are they looking with the McGaughys lift? Any rake in the rear, does it sit lower then the front, or perfectly level? Thanks for all the info brother. Purchasing the SS kit tonight and tires.

After reading this forum, I believe I will be installing 4.88’s. I do a good bit a of highway driving but also I pull trailers sometimes and I’d like to have that torque. I’ve got 24” replicas on 37” rbps. I’m not sure. It’s a big decision. They’re the same price so I Figure I might as well but at the same time I don’t want to be doing 3-4K rpms while doing 65mph. Any advice? When these tires wear out I will be getting 35s instead of 37s. There’s no need for me to have 37s. Any advice? It’s a 2015 Silverado 1500 4x4 LTZ with the 5.3 and 6spd auto

      Trim level custom/pro

      By Another JR · Posted

      Are you going to take long trips in it?  If so, try out the seats in the various trims. For me the lower trim level seats were not comfortable.

      I have a 2016 that I bought new and still own. I'm around 129,000 miles now. The biggest problem was a transmission failure about 2 years ago around 95000 miles. No warning, just failed while driving down a back road. A reman GM transmission installed and it's been fine ever since. A few other minor problems along the way. I am in no hurry to replace it. It's been paid off long ago and do plan on driving this as long as I can.   I will admit I am leery about all the additional electronics in the newer models and feel that it is just more potential problems. I think there's actually more than I would have wanted in this 2016 but so far so good. I think even if something major like lifter failure happened, it would still be cheaper to at worst, drop a new engine in than buy a new vehicle.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I’ve own several successful businesses. I’ve bought homes and lived in different states. I’d witness several generations buy homes and survive in different economic circumstances. You get awful sippy when people have different experiences than you do. You live a life. I’ve lived a life. It seems our experience has been different. You can point out generalized statistics. Some people learn how to thrive when the odds are against them. Living in different states does make a difference in a persons quality of life and economic outcomes and opportunities. That’s a fact Jack. It’s my truth, my life. Hard work and long hours the right environment made my families life easier. And yes moving to a different state increased the odds of that happening. Stats are generalized. People who thrive don’t make excuses. They beat the odds. Others get mad and point to those statistics. I guess that’s you. My post pointed out how you helped people beat the odds. Somehow your panties got in a wad. Go figure.

      Good question, I don't remember for sure but I believe it was the HD. I will check and get back to you.

      Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling what the government, your government, data shows.   It wasn't an argument. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of FACT. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.    fact /făkt/   noun Knowledge or information based on real occurrences. "an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy." Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. "Genetic engineering is now a fact. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact." A real occurrence; an event. "had to prove the facts of the case."

But you and I? We are not doing this.
