Looking sweet!  Are those the Ridge Grapplers or the Terra Grapplers? Lift/level?

Ridge Grapplers. I had OEM Rancho shocks, I upgraded to the Bilstein 5100s all around. Set the front at its highest setting. It had a level previously from different owner. I pulled the lower level piece, and kept the top one in as I seen a few others have done. Ride is extremely smooth, and planted firmly.

This is definitely next on my list of things to do. I need them for my wife and kids, and my son is disabled so steps are needed to put him into the truck. Im 6'7" so I don't use them.

Any rub with that set up?

Yes some rubbing.  I only put a 2” level on it.  A 2.5” level would alleviate a lot of it.  It’s not bad. Full lock in reverse and if you come into a parking lot apron like maverick and goose buzzing the tower it will make a noise that’s not cool at all

When switching to the Bilsteins do you have to swap/change anything else or could I just do a straight up swap with the Ranchos and be good to go?

Direct Swap, of course you have to disassemble the strut assembly to swap them. But im going a different route, and will be selling my 285/55/22 Nitto Ridge Grapplers with under 100 miles on them, and selling my Bilstein B* 5100 shocks with same less than 100 miles, and OEM steps off of the truck.

I am still waiting to pull the trigger on a set of 285 55 22 G2's.... but before I do.. Have any of you experienced a slight thump under your feet when cornering at slow speeds? I am wondering if it is steering rack related. I am posting here since you all have larger tires. Looking to see if it has affected anyone else. I'm on a ready lift 2.25 front level with UCA, and zone add a leaf. Stock tires. Loving the ride. Perfect height all around with slight rake.25cd3c2b60a79d71555cea7823a5e05d.jpg

I added the spacer for the look mostly. It's the same front and rear and it looks pretty solid. I ran a SuspensionMaxx 2.5" level. I loved it and the bracket for the relocation of the level sensor was good. It was actually accidentally transferred to the Fabtech control arms and it ended up making my whole lift ride better because it put the sensor at a better angle. Here's the truck with the level.

The ride was pretty much same as stock. The only time I could feel a difference was at 75+mph and I think the aerodynamic change was the biggest difference.

 

I would highly recommend a true lift for such a size tire. Yes, it could technically fit on just a level, but it really doesn't make a lot of sense to limit the movement of the suspension that way. But I built this truck to be able to drive through a ditch if I feel like it... haha you know what I mean though.

 

Here's the truck with the Fabtech 4". I'd highly recommend this set up. I'll take pics of the upper ball joint if you want. It's solid.

Could someone with a 2.5" lift and the 285/55/22 setup take a height measurement from the ground to the top of the XM antenna please?  I'm ready to switch to the bigger tires and lift but am not sure If I will fit in my garage.  I don't really want to give up parking inside especially with winter coming soon.  Or if you have a 2.5" level and the 285/55/22, are you able to fit in a standard 7ft garage opening?

I don’t have a measurement, but my 15 Denali with the same setup cleared without any problem. My current 18 Denali with a 3 inch and 35/12.50/22’s also clear without any issues.

For everyone that has had some time with LT285 55 22s (specifically terra grappler G2)... How do you like the ride quality? Is the 10 ply tire that drastic? How is the "seat of pants feel" for power loss from the heavier tire? Is the ABS sensitive over bumps? What tire pressures are you running?

Also on a side note... Has anyone experienced rubber cracking with their nitto G2s? Only ask because I had a set of "G1s" from 2012 and the cracking was unreal.

Sorry for the rant.

Thanks!

      Replacing 2.7L on 2021 Silverado with 2023 2.7L

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      But Grumpy I did show several subdivisions that had homes starting in the 170K range. If you bought a Townhouse or Condo you could go cheaper. Same with a car 3000 dollars in the 70s translates to around 20K today. There are several models at that price. You actually get more for the money. In the 70s I drove a 3000$ car bought a 28K home and made 4.50 per hour. Thank goodness for overtime. Today I could buy a 170K house drive a 20K car and make 25 dollars an hour operating the same machine today. The difference the house, car, machine would be better and have AC. And I wouldn’t be taxed on overtime. And statistically your wife works too. Easing the burden. I thought we agreed to disagree. I brought receipts earlier, showing examples. I think you’re more stubborn than me. I was done with this debate.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.
