Bilstein 5100s on highest setting. 305/45/22 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. Rubs slightly on the sway bar at full lock. Might put a small spacer on it to resolve that issue. b8b1f366f7fc225d45d8baef485e1335.jpg

1.5 front with factory rear. 33/12.50/22.
I am thinking I want to paint the fender trim. It hasn’t bothered me much until lately and I am thinking it’s time to get rid of the textured plastic.

Do you remember if it rubbed anywhere?

Not at all, full lock forwards and reverse it was fine

I've been looking at going with this same tire and size.  Do you have any rubbing?  I see a lot of yes and no's on various forum posts but different tire manufacturers may fluctuate in actual dimensions.  Also, what was the decrease in mpg's you experienced and did you re-calibrate your ecm for the larger tires?  Thanks in advance.

No rubbing whatsoever. The city mpg’s will take a little bit but can’t tell a difference on the highway. My lifetime average has stayed at 17 (until duck season as I have been pulling my boat for the last two months - it will go back up after season is over)This is a pic from my last hwy trip. I did not recalibrate as it still seems accurate.

My friend is an autobody guy and he painted his lower air dam, fender flares and his chrome window mouldings black to match and it looks sooo good. I want to do the same to my All Terrain but our trucks already look very similar. He didn't even sand the texture off the flares, just scotchbrite'd them and by the time he had adhesion promoter, primer, paint and clear on they look smooth as glass. He did a bit of wet-sanding after paint. Here is my old GMT900 and K2, opposites attract.

For all the guys with 17+ trucks with stamped steel upper control arms... are you using the facorey UCA or replacing them with aftermarket UCAs?

Any rubbing issues? What size tires do you have?


Went with 295/70/17. Slight rub on the felt liner and plastic trim piece, not enough to warrant trimming though

I just did the Rancho quicklift. Raised it a bit more than expected.  I am hoping to keep the factory UCA on my 17 Z71.  However, they are hitting the drop stop on big dips in the road.
