Ordered a 6" Pro Comp lift today and the guy at the tire shop told me that 33's won't look that bad. I just can't picture this in my mind. Anyone got any pictures of their 2014 with a 6" on 20s and 33s?

I plan on putting 33" tires on my 15 with just a 2.25" level... I think 33's are going to look a little small with that much lift. I'd go 35's personally. That's just my opinion.

Same here. 2.5 RC level, and I run 33". With a 6" you've gotta go with 35".

My goodness, a 6" and 33" tires will make it look like your truck skipped leg day. I am running 33" tires on my 2.5" RC level...

That's what I was thinking. Even with my wheels being 20x10 with a -24 offset. They said it would look good

 

Again, my truck above has 20x10 -24... I would be looking at a different shop. My local shop told me that with the wheels I have on now, I wouldn't even be able to put my stock tires on here and be able to turn...

 

If I was going with a 6" lift, I would be looking at 35", 20x12 -44.

I ran a 2014 silverado with a FTS 7" lift and 20x12 with 33's. IMO, you have to run 12 wides to pull it off. I'll try and find some pics.

If you already own 33" tires and want to keep them until they wear out before stepping up, I say I would do the same if I were you. I also don't think it will look bad cause there isn't that big of a difference between the two. If you have a true 33" and then the 35"(34.5")the size difference is negligible.

+1 on 35's

^^^^^^^^^^^

This!

 

You are going to spend a bunch of money to look like a stock Ford Super Duty (no offense to those that have a 6" lift and 33's :dunno: )

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed, regardless of whether they are in warranty or not, or in the hands of the original owner or not. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      That's good to know, but I don't think I'll even be running them under 45 in the rear  unless it's on the sand or something but will only be for a short distance anyways!    I didn't read all the instructions in the booklet yet, but do you know let's say I set the rear psi on the placard to 45, will the warning light come on soon as it drops under 45 or is there a percentage it has to drop from the set value before the warning light is triggered?

      Would this CV Shaft be bad?

      By newdude · Posted

      That's bad.  Like, its probably destroying the stub axle the CV slides into.   Do you have a proper lift installed with differential lowering brackets?  Did you install AT4/Trail Boss factory CV axles?

      Hot? New Jersey? Today? I was working on my old 2000 Silverado 1500 today. Believe me, it was boiling hot today. As it has been.
