RE Tire size; I just painted the OE wheels Piano Black and installed General Grabber A/Ts 285/60/20 For me they are the perfect balance of an aggressive tire and great tire on the road. As a side note

Congrats Nik;  looks great eh...haha.  Fellow Canuck here.  Haven’t seen too many long box models in the crew cabs.  Love your wheel choice.  Any clearance issues or rubbing?  

Thanks! Haha and no I haven’t seen many at all which I love. 

 

I also haven’t had any issues with rubbing at all. They fit great!

Here’s my 2019 SLT 4x4. 

 

In the front I installed a set of AT4 front struts that I bought locally from a guy on offer up. In the back I went with a 2” block. 

 

Tires are Nitto Terra Grappler 285/65/20 on stock 20” wheels.

So you essentially have an AT4 height suspension, without level.  Any rubbing with the 285/65/20?

Hey guys, new to the forum.  I'm getting my AT4 today and already ordered the motofab 1.5" level and going to get some 22" GMC replica wheels to put on.  Will I be okay with a 35x12.50x22 tire?  The offset on the wheels will be +24 which is pretty close to the factory I think.

Awesome looking!

Did you get the Black or Anthracite color on the wheels? Do you currently get any rubbing? How far do the tires stick out from the fenders? I like these wheels and I am considering going with the Nitto Ridge Grapplers in a 295/65 (34x11.5) or 35x11.5 so that I won't need to go higher than a 1.5" Motofab lift. I believe that the offset and the 12.5" width would cause rubbing and require a bigger lift and possible major trimming.

I have no rubbing, but it is very close on the upper control arm.  The ride has not changed, and the truck is perfectly level.  I am very impressed with the upper ball joint and CV angles.  More pics to follow.

I am contemplating adding BORA hub centric wheel spacers for a slightly more aggressive look only.  I only want to space a little, as I do not want rock chips on the rocker panel and lower doors.  I also do not want to cut or modify factory lugs.  Because of this, I am interested in a hub-centric spacer that only fits over the factory lug without providing new lugs.  I know my needed wheel spacer specifications are as follows:
 
6 x 139.7 pattern
78.1mm hub
106mm bore
 
This raises a few questions in which I seek your expert opinion.
 
1.  Does only adding spacers without any additional changes require a front-end alignment?
2.  Do you know the maximum distance spacer I can safely add utilizing the factory lugs with the OEM wheel?
3.  I have no rubbing; they are for looks only.  On factory lugs, I am assuming it would be close to a 0.500" maximum.  Would the minimal spacer even be noticeable (worth it)?

Thanks man! I went with anthracite.

The wheels stick out approx .5" - .75". I had no rubbing initially, but after things settled I had a pretty annoying rub in reverse at about 3/4 lock. There is a little flange where the lower bummer connects to the air damn, I trimmed that off and the problem was solved.

      With large equipment or deep mud it is more of a use the higher gear to avoid spinning tires, getting stuck because of spinning tires and doing damage to your machine. The idea is if you run out of torque before you spin tires you can still downshift for more torque. If you are just spinning your tires in the lowest available gear you are stuck and things break.   Automatic transmissions, traction control and electronic transfer cases change the calculation a little as you the driver have less control over each piece.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.
