Stock suspension?

Rubbing?

2.5 level and only rubs on my mud flaps in full lock in reverse but it's not a big worry for me other that that minor rub no issues and looks good.. Won't rub once I got 4. 5 inch suspension lift lol [emoji123] cbd7abcd6bd0d15164edc6e9782f9282.jpg

No Rubbing/

Quiet on the highway

I got the KO2's and would highly recommend!

I am looking to replace my stock SRA's but was leaning towards a p tire instead of LT due to the weight. I don't tow or haul anything heavy so I don't need a E rated tire but I have been looking at 285/65r18 or 275/65r18 and 285's only come in E ratings. My question is how is the ride and how do they affect fuel mileage running the wider and heavier 285's?

I just took off and sold new Nitto Trail Grapplers in 285/65/18's. Looked bad ass, not too loud. But the handling went out window and ride was horrible.

Now I'm running Cooper AT3's. Although not as mean and sexy as the Nittos the Coopers ride and handle great. It could be a little higher side wall( 275/70's). My tires are LT tires but literally can't tell the difference in loss of power at all but MPG took about a 2mPG hit. But I also haven't recalibrated the computer yet either.

Any issues on the rim flange of this stock wheels? It has a 265/65/18 tire right?  Before upgrading to 275? Just curious on the 10mm difference on width. Upgrading my truck soon

I just got 275/65R18 Duratracs. No rubbing that I've noticed yet, but it's only been a day. In the Duratrac thread they said that they don't rub on stock suspension.

Any problems with the rim flange on the stock wheels? 10mm difference wouldn't hurt it? 265 to 275. Will upgrade my tires but will retain my stock wheels. Just need some input.

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.

      Yes your absolutely right, I been looking at the 4 inch BDS one and it acutely states you can use the stock 20’s just not the 17’s or 18’s, I also didn’t realize that with my 275/60r20 stock wheels I’m already running 33 inch diameter wheel setup lol so I can just run my stock wheels and tires atleast to start.

      I would expect that to be lift-kit dependent.  If the kit has interference issues w stock wheels, then the kit/manufacturer should indicate that somewhere.
