295/70R18 should fit with no rubbing or trimming necessary. Its roughly a 34.3" x 12" depending on the brand of the tire.

Are you running the factory trailboss black wheels?

Can't tell if your trying to be a comedian here or if your serious?  It wasn't really very funny and it didn't really make any sense!  If you don't care about this topic, don't follow along.

To me 2" is 2" no matter how you get it. Wether you put it on the top, bottom or middle it still increases the cv and ball joint angles. Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using Tapatalk

Correct. It says it's not compatible but it works great. Supposed to be a level coming out specifically for the Trailboss soon from a couple different manufacturers. I don't know exactly what those will consist of or how much they will cost. I installed the  motofab kit 6 months ago and have had absolutely no problems as have many people on the forum. Time will tell if we end up with premature wear on the front end parts but as of now it is the only fix for the factory rake. 

Ben, Are you saying you have or havent seen several people claiming issues with installing this kit? I purchased it and I am concerned about the ball joints if I install

I haven't heard of any problems at all. I have nothing but positive reviews of it. But....they say it shouldn't be used on the Trailboss/AT4. I really don't know the reason but it works great!

I have an AT4 but Trailboss owners have posted that size on stock wheels on other threads

Now Rough Country has released their official AT4 kit (not for TB) we should start seeing some come out soon. Still holding out here.

Am i missing something? Why do they say specifically not the TB I thought the suspension systems were the exact same?

I sent Rough Country a message asking the same thing and they told me that the setup is different.... which I thought they were the same too.

So they can market them separately and increase the price of the AT4 kit over the Trail Boss version since the GMC is " Professional Grade " :D

After looking at the instructions, I'm not sure if I'm completely missing something but does this type of a leveling kit cause for less aggressive angles/wear over the motofab that everyone else has already already been running with?

Iam not an expert but simply wondering why the difference in lower strut spacers. I would assume the traditional “C” shaped spacer is the same or better. Also on the instruction sheet I noticed the new camber spacer...assuming that is to achieve stock alignment numbers. I am curious if the motofab 1.5” leveling kit also achieves factory alignment or nearly close.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I find it amusing the OP doesn’t realize this threads heading includes several engines. He should have posted in the off topic section if he wanted a more narrow focus. I really appreciate and find amusing that he actually pointed out one of my many vehicles. The Odyssey. That happens to use 0-20 oil. I love pushing his buttons.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      Maybe, but it seems he is the only one that has backed up data to prove what he is stating. I think he is doing this more because he enjoys it and wants to get the information out to us. He's got the knowledge and access to the proper equipment and having the funds doesn't hurt.  I would love to do what he is doing and would do it if and when I hit the Powerball.  I'm not a Tribologist by any means but love to learn what I can.   I would bet there would be doubting people out there if a completely independent lab with high quality work and highly respected in the automotive industry, put out information like this.  The world can't be pleased, one just has to take the information that they are given, do more of their own research to find actual lab data to back up what they are trying to figure/find out.  Most don't bother, they just want to believe what they first see.     I don't have the minimax but my 6.2 in my 2019 Silverado with 64k miles shows excellent UOA results with 0w-20 and for my own purposes 5w-20.  Since not much of a change using 5w. I liked the data sheet information on the SS 5w-20 and figured I would give it a try.  Still the same viscosity at 100℃.   In the end we all just do what makes us happy, life is too short to get upset over trivial social media.   On a side note, I do feel GM has dropped the ball and just cares about the bottom dollar and not quality anymore.  "Like a Rock" has been long gone.  Seems "Built Ford Tough" has as well.

      2026 sierra bad brake controller

      By flattop · Posted

      Hello, my 3 month old Sierra Elevation wont recognize a trailer with electric brakes? All the lights work correctly, but no power to the brakes?   This is the factory installed brake controller. If you manually push the knob, the display shows the power % but does not light up like my 2022 silverado.   I have an appointment with the dealer, but was checking to see if anyone else has seen this issue.    Thanks,

      Post your latest oil change.

      Been using SS 0w-20 from new, but wanted to change to the 5w-20 because I liked the data on the data sheet, to me it seems like a little better product. But as you can see, not much difference. This is also with running a mix of 10 gallons E85 to a tank topped with 93. It isn't a flex fuel vehicle so any higher I get a CEL for running lean on both banks. Yes my mileage takes a hit. Instead of 20 mpg I normally get on trips I get 17mpg. This is also using EaO17 filter.  What is amazing is I have the AMSOIL cone filter on it since I have the GM Performance intake installed and that air filter has 44k miles on it.  I just take it out and shop vac it off once a year.  I use the upholstery tool on my shop vac.  Works well.
