Hard to really speculate on weather or not a 35in tire will stuff in there on a level.

34in yes......

Will just have to see what these new lift/level companies advertise.

This years SEMA should yield final answers  :thumbs:

Here is what looks off and strange to me:

 

The Proportions of the Tire to Fender Opening ( RED ) Compared to the Gap between the tire & Fender Rear... Fender/Bumper Front at points 3 & 9 O'Clock

GMC's front leading edge angle ( BLUE ) also makes this lift tire combo very Odd!

I agree about the red section, it is pretty large. Of course my current Silverado is like that too, with the way GM designs their wheel wells it seems like 6" make the truck sit pretty high without being able to clear bigger tires. I'll be interested to see how much trimming is needed to get 35's to fit with the least amount of lift, ideally, that is what I will do if I move to the T1 platform.

The T1 Silverado looks so much better lifted.

Larger tires seem to fit better since the openings are more arched than Sierra.

Now that truck looks so much better and actually caught my eye!

Looks like icon will have some coilovers out soon too. 2.5" coilovers, stock arms, 35s

Dream of the look that is.

The 2019 Silverado resembles a prerunner with this setup more so

than the K2s with flat top wheel well openings:thumbs:

Well looks like the only companies making some noise about their R&D with the T1’s are Icon, Rough Country, & Fabtech. 

 

I wonder where BDS/Fox is with theirs? From the outside looking in, it seems as if they are behind? I was interested in going BDS, but hell Rough Country May beat em to the punch and win my business!

Rough Country has come a long way.

Have you seen these Big E ?

Damn, those are definitely competing with Fox right there!

very nice, I am impressed. Of course you are not going to get these with a 6” lift kit but if you wanted to go above & beyond on your suspension these look like a very viable option. I just don’t think personally I would even know how to use these to make a ride difference being adjustable and all. Probably too fancy for me.

Ride adjustability is as simple as the twist of a knob.

They are cheaper than fox and icon as well. Kings also.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
