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.

Just got some 275/60r20 Dynapro ATMs put on today with my stock wheels. I have 1.5” SuspensionMAXX front level and there is no rub whatsoever. I’m over the moon! [emoji869]

Do you know where the rubbing is happening? I was thinking of going with 2” spacers and 275/70 tires.

Stock, then with eibach 2.5" pro lift level kit (rear shocks (no change to factory height) strut springs in front), then with the new 275/65/r20 bfg's... just what I was going for, and zero rubbing.17b870433eeed59f18c47f46e51e9b79.jpg

Going by your signature, how do you like the Nittos? Smooth/quiet on the highway? Or how loud?

I love them.

A bit quieter than Toyo MT’s, which are typically my off-road tire of choice. Toyos aren’t offered in this size, but they’re made at the same factory and have very similar construction

Ride is very smooth, but a lot of that is attributable to my suspension.

The fact that I’ve got an E-rated tire on a truck that rides better than factory speaks volumes, methinks.

I run them at 35 psi, which gives me 900 lbs more load capacity over the rear axle than the truck is rated for.

I haven’t read great things about tire wear with these, so I’ll keep an eye on things and rotate them every 5k miles.

2.5 suspension maxx front.  285/55/22 nittos.  Took off the front air dam too.  Rubs very slightly in reverse with wheel turned pretty far.  Ill probably just pull back the carpet a bit.  Had to crank my headlights down pretty far.  Sits 1/8"-1/4" high in the back.  Nearly a perfect level using all the shims.

It's been raining here in Michigan alot lately so please excuse the dirty truck!

Upgraded from 18's to 20" honeycomb brushed aluminum replicas. 5100's all around(front on 3rd setting)

The GMC centercaps fit a bit loose on the replicas so I'm going to use some clear RTV silicone to seal them in place once the weather clears.

Finally got rid of my factory SR-A's and replaced them with fresh 275/60/r20 Duratracs..winter is coming

 

Edit: The tires rubbed on the way home from the shop. I had to take my Dremel to the factory mudflaps to do some trimming on the insides.

      87 down as low as $5.14 here... winning!

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Progress... sort of.   Intake is disassembled, spider is out, fuel lines removed. Used a torch on the stripped screw with the lower intake off, much easier when I've got the intake sitting on my workbench, I made it talk. Walked right out with a pair of vice grips once it was nice and toasty hot.   New parts are piling up on my service cart waiting to be installed. Distributor, temperature sensor, new gaskets, fuel line kit, themostat, water neck.   My new pickle is I don't want to spend $600 on a replacement spider. I'm not sure IT is bad. I'm probably splitting hairs. Or it's $300 to send mine away and another 3 weeks of the truck just sitting. I have half a mind to assemble everything with the old spider to see if I can get away with just replacing the fuel pressure regulator to be safe. The obvious issue was the gushing high pressure fuel line which will be replaced. Getting to the spider really isn't that hard, and now I know what I'm doing , swapping it would be a breeze should it absolutely need one. Stupid, or smart?   The part that gives me pause is replacing the distributor. Well, it's already out. And I didn't mark it, whoopsie! Engine was at TDC when I removed it, I know that, so upon correct reinstall the metal tip on the rotor should point to the TDC mark on the distributor because that's where it was pointing on the old distributor. Worst case I'm a tooth off and have to re-stab it.   But then, what? I assume the truck will start. It doesn't appear the timing can be set. Here's the problem: These distributors can't be rotated but a degree or two, by design. What I read is Cam ****** needs to be -2 to +2 degrees, ideally at 0 (and checked/set above 1000 rpm). There should be enough wiggle to get that properly set, but checking the reported value is another potential issue. My Actron 9185 scanner says it supports enhanced GM PIDs and Cam ****** is one of them but it's unclear that I'll be able to correctly see it over OBD 1.5. I can see why people end up junking these things with life left in them. They're an absolute nightmare with tweener-year diagnostics/electronics and unobtanium parts.   Fingers crossed it starts and idles nicely. There can be hope, right? I'ma buy a lottery ticket the same day just in case.   Next steps..DO IT. I have not installed an intake before so I've been reading and watching a lot. Some say NO RTV except on china walls, some say DO RTV on water ports but not fuel/air intake. 1/4 or 3/8 bead on China walls? I think my strategy will be, obviously, RTV china walls with overlap on the gasket corners. Chapstick-style RTV the water ports. Leave intake ports dry. The only set of intake gaskets I could find locally are Edelbrock performance gaskets (uh...for an asthmatic 190hp V6? LOL) so we'll see how they do.   #NoToolLeftBehind. It took an hour, but my recovery mission for my deep 10mm socket was successful. It had rolled down the bellhousing and wedged itself between what I think are the fuel lines? I couldn't see it at all, but with a junk antenna I had laying around, I blindly went poking/sweeping for it, heard it clink, raised the truck, and caught a sliver glimpse of chrome with a flashlight way up there in Narnia. I had pushed it farther along the lines holding it captive, but within access of severely improvised tools, poking and cursing at it to finally knock it free to where I could get a fingertip on it to bring it home.    Not much to see.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By KARNUT · Posted

      It wouldn’t have happened if the government hadn’t mandated outrageous fuel mileage standards. It does very little for the consumer. It adds cost. Back during Covid there was a chip shortage. They gave a rebate for your truck if it didn’t have the chip to turn on cylinder deactivation. It was 50$ because at best you may see 1/2 a mile increase per gallon. Splitting hairs each fuel mileage trick wasn’t mandated. The government doesn’t do the engineering work and say use this until it’s already in use and they like it. The fuel mileage was mandated. And those add ons the results. There’s a mandate and they are the results.
