Got some new shoes installed today. 295/60/R20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. Hopefully I’ll get some more pics to show it better.

Nice!  That's this size I'm thinking of going with next, I'm running 295/55 right now.

I love em. Pretty much perfect. I maybe could have fit 35s but I’m happy with the 34s. I hate the look of trying to squeeze tires.

Yah my problem is the 10” wide wheels are limiting me on how big of a tire I can get.  My 295/55 rubs just a little when I’m reversing at full lock

Ah ya. I’m still rock in the stock 9” rims. Even if I get aftermarket rims I’m gonna stick with 9”. But honestly, I’m pretty darn happy how the stock 20s look on my set up right now.

What size lift do you have? I'm thinking about this size with a 2.25 level. 

You know, I’m the idiot that never got an original fender height so I really don’t know. But I have bilsteins set at 1.8” and 3” lift knuckles. So basic math would say 4.8” but I know that’s not right. I tell people 4-4.5”. 3” blocks in the back. 

 

I have 0 rake, with maybe a 1/2” of reverse rake. So it very well may be 4.75” of lift in the front. I’ll try to pull a hub to fender measurement tonight

You're most likely going to rub somewhere with only 2.25" lift, you should look into 285/60r20.

I loved my factory 20" All Terrain wheels, they got stolen along with my new 305/55r20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers.  So I got my Hostile wheels and 295/55r20 Ridge Grapplers with the insurance check.

I have a 17 sierra elevation edition. I just bought 20x10 +0 wheels, 295 60 20 tires and a level kit with control arms new shocks and struts that claim a true 3 inch front and 2 inch rear lift. Anyone have any experience with this setup? Im concerned with the +0 10" wheels rubbing. I have the black 20x9 stock wheels now.  Should i stay stock,  keep the 20x10 +0s or return and buy something different? Thank you in advance. Planning on doing the lift right away. I'll post pics when im done and a part list.

    • Hi all - my current truck is a 2022.5 1500 High Country 3.0. I bought the truck used last year. After doing some digging, I noticed that my truck's software is stuck on the original build from 2022. I have no available software updates. I talked to my dealer about this and they recommended not trying to force an update since the 36,000 mile warranty is expired. This is a big bummer since there have been many major releases since that have fixed small issues and improved speed/usability.   For reference, the current software build number is: full_gminfo37_gb-user 10 W158E-W164.4.2-QIH22B-563.3 158 release-keys Has anyone had a similar experience? Should I just forget about it and move on, or try a different dealer?
    • Sure. Buy it for me 🤣
    • Using zip ties but 2-3 they snap due to sharp edges. Just using a shoestring. Last longer. 🤣
    • I ordered the Snap On...waiting for it to come in later this week or early next week.   New front cover, new crank seal and new balancer are on. Water pump, pulley, fan, hoses, and plastics reinstalled. I can move forward knowing all my timing marks are dead on and the front engine is hopefully sealed better than it was. Take 2 with the water pump...trying high temp thread sealer on the lower bolts.   Rebuilt injector and new-new regulator is in, it looks like new. Top intake reassembled and all the bits are reconnected and snugged down.   Thinking about knock sensors again, I located both of mine and, there's your problem, Francis... The driver's side one is broke, plastic is bashed in, part of the wire is bare, and it appears to have been damaged like that for a long time. I saw the wire but didn't think anything of it. The knock sensor might not be my pulled timing issue, but it sure looks suspect. It must still be conducting, otherwise I'd expect a CEL. But perhaps with its sacred crystal inside exposed, jilted and dirty, maybe it's sending mixed signals. So I'm waiting for one of those and a new pigtail to come in. Pass side sensor looks good, except for the spark plug wire resting on it (!). The plug wires are healthy so it shouldn't be causing an issue, but I separated them and added zip ties to nearby looms to keep everything well apart.   So, I'm down to installing a knock sensor AND, oh, replacing the exhaust and cat. I actually think that's going to be fairly easy, it's all bolt-together, all new stuff from Walker is laid out on the shop floor ready to go. Hopefully have this thing on the road again for the weekend.   My luck? It will still be leaking oil, coolant, pulled timing, intermittent CEL for running rich, or it probably won't run at all -- because that's how this project has gone.   I've never worked on a vehicle so ...hurt? ...cursed? in my life. Everything has been effed with SO HARD, but I think...knock on wood...I've managed to undo all the backyard stuff and we're almost reset back to "just" an 80k mile, 30 year old Blazer.
    • Yes. You need to check out that thing, and the hub further.
