Hey guys, I'm still running stock 275/5520's on my 15 Sierra SLT with a 2" front and 4" rear drop. Has anyone played around with getting a bigger tire under the lowered trucks? I'm doing research and planning for when the stock tires burn off and wouldn't mind getting a little more beef under it to get that sport truck look. I've been scouring tire manufacturer websites for possible sizes to change to and thought I'd put it out there for your opinion. Perhaps we'll end up starting a tire fitment thread for lowered guys like the lifted ones have? Anyways, chime in if you have an opinion!!!

Every time I see the great look as well as photography of this truck I say to myself "this bad boy should be in a Chevrolet commercial!"

Love,love,love this truck. Need more details. I'm not having any luck searching for a build thread.(not at home and using my phone) Really digging the side exit exhaust. Oh yeah did I mention that I love this truck?

Thank you. No build thread sorry. Some details: 2016 2WD 5.3 Volant Cold Air Intake, Elite Engineering Catch Can, Borla Exhaust Borla Tips, 4/7 Belltech drop, 22" OEM wheels, Continental Tires, Vinyl wrapped bumpers, Denali Grill, Center Console swap. I ordered the truck with almost every option available including spray bed liner, navigation, parking sensors, and lane departure. Just my weekend truck planning to do more but taking it slow.

If you are staying with the 2/4 drop you could easily go to a 305/50R20 and get about 1 1/2" more width while staying at the same 32" overall diameter.

 

I'm running 275/40R22 (30.6") up front and 305/40R22 (31.6") out back on a 5/7 drop...

Good looking trucks showing up guys, loving it! I'll probably be staying at the 2/4 partly because i love the ride with a subtle mod. I've been looking at those 305's and will do some research to see if i could fit em on all 4 corners with no rub.

I'm only lowered about 3" in the rear right now with 305/40r22's all around however as soon as it warms up a bit I will be installing my 2" drop spindles along with 2" lowering leafs for a 2/5 total drop and will let you know how it goes.

      Injector update

      By iso221 · Posted

      Because single shot injectors are ancient and multi hole injectors provide smoother running engines and sharper throttle response due to the fuel being atomized better..the best lead I have is a 24lb blue top injector almost everything matches up but the injector will put out about 26lb/hr which is just outside the gm threshold.figured id ask here to see if there was an absolute answer

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Why is my question?   Any change in injectors requires a tune. Unless you are going back with the OEM part number or a newer part number of that same injector.   Any size difference or type difference like the EV6 style injectors all have different injector data for them. And there is no EV6 injector that matches the factory 25 lb/hr size that your truck comes with. I've been messing with these trucks and tuning them for a long time and what you trying to do doesn't exactly make sense to me.

      When a condition becomes a business model.    https://www.gm-trucks.com/gm-truck-suv-incentives-pricing-2026/   Zane posted this in "Latest Articles".    The honest bottom line   Truck buyers have spent three years assuming this is a temporary condition that will break once inventories normalize. GM just presented it to investors as a durable strategy, on a chart, as evidence of good management.   Inventory did normalize. GM is at 511,000 units and squarely inside its own 50 to 60 day target. The discounts still did not come back, because the low incentive number is the goal rather than a symptom of shortage.   Plan your purchase around that reality instead of waiting for it to change. Follow our ongoing GM News coverage for pricing and incentive changes as the next-generation trucks land.

      Winter Returned

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Thought it was raining this morning when we woke. Nope. Dew point was over 80 F and humidity 98%. Zero visibility distance. Everything was 'sweating'. I've seen rain come out of clouds but never out of Pepper or the tree trunks.    Wicked storms just missed us sliding off to the east but by blocks. Heat index about 110 F with air temp in the 90's.    This is  our third wave this month of multiple days of this type of weather. And yet the grass is going dormant and the ground is cracking this side of the street and water up the the hood opposite. Just weird stuff going on.
