I’m toying with the idea of the same tire size but highway treads, but I only did the 1.5” Suspension Maxx on my Denali... Do you think it would clear? What’s the clearance like in yours? If not, I may get some strut spacers from SM and lift it the rest of the way just like you have.
Thanks

I do not think they would clear. Mine scrub when turning left and scrub pretty bad in reverse in either direction at 1/2 to 3/4 lock. Not to mention and undulation and turning. I’m having the 4” Fabtech lift installed this week to help. I still heard it scrubs when it flexes with this kit. We’ll see. Love the tire but it’s almost a 35” tire. Good luck to you

Thank you!  That's exactly what I'm going for.  I installed 1.75" BORA hub adapter/wheel spacers today and got a little rubbing to deal with.  Here's updated pics.

That’s good to know, yeah I knew it would be a heck of a stretch... Full lift it is then! I’ve seen a couple of trucks with that lift and it looks fantastic! Best of luck, and thanks for the quick reply [emoji106]

I installed the Readylift tubular upper control arms and spacers this weekend on my 18 Denali. Raised the front end 2.25" Stock rear with stock 285-45/R22 Bridgestones (for now).

 

Love the new stance and the ride it great.

 

I had intended to use another company's (suspension maxx) relocation brackets for the magneride (Readylift doesn't make one) however after installation, the thicker tubular UCA placed the ride sensors right back in the stock position. No relocation bracket needed.

 

I couldn't be happier with the new setup.

Wouldn’t recommend that. Spend the money on a real lift kit 4-6”. You’ll be cursing yourself for getting a cheapie “lift kit” which is just a glorified leveling kit. You’ll thank me when your not cursing ride quality and replacing front end components prematurely

Which 4in kit do you recommend without spending $1800+? Also, I have a company car so the truck may only be drivin a few times a month. Thanks..

Is anyone running the Silverado midnight edition rims on a white Silverado? I’m trying to find pictures

I wanted to keep mine looking close to stock, but a little nicer. Didn't want a big lift or big tires. This truck is my tow rig to get my SxS back and forth to the trails which includes towing through the hills of KY and TN in winter conditions. I leveled it with a 2" Rough Country kit and went with some Cooper 275/65R18 AT3 4S tires on the stock wheels. I never have more than a few hundred pounds in the bed, and my 12' tandem axle trailer with electric brakes with the SxS is only about 3000 pounds, so I didn't feel the need to go with something rated for a lot more weight than the stock tires. I think these will work well for my needs, plus they are severe snow rated which should easily cover everything we get around here.

Great thread.

I think if staying with stock tires, or real close to stock tires, 1.5” of front lift looks very good.

This is still my favorite truck. I'm going to try my best to imitate this look. 

...wish I could trade for that color!

It seems the trucks without the running boards look a lot higher with a level , they all look good though !

I have a 2018 silverado.  I was considering a motofab 2.5 top strut spacer and leaving the stock 20" wheels and tires for now.  Will there be any issues?  Will the stock stamped UCA work with it?  Thanks!

      Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.

      Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍

      Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
