This tire size is very close to stock and I suspect the rubbing is a result of the level.  I wonder if switching to a smaller level kit would eliminate the rubbing?   A 1" or 1.5" level kit may  provi

BORA is the brand name of quality bolt on adapters: http://www.motorsport-tech.com/special/truck/chevy_s   I personally wouldn't use the Rough County brand spacers, they're lug centric,

That looks great man, perfect stance.

Thanks!  I really like it too.  Gives the truck a little more aggressive look.

What brand are the spacers?

 

They’re made by G2 Axle & Gear.  Hubcentric, billet aluminum with anodized finish.  Picked em up at SummitRacing.  Well made stuff.

Ok, I need rear spacers. Or to reprhase, if I want the back to look like the front, I need rear spacers.

 

What is the general consensus? I have searched the archives and it almost seems a fifty/fifty split. What say ye? Safe or not?

if you buy a quality spacer (hub/lug/wheel centric) such as BORA and torque them properly you'll be fine

Quality spacers are the 1st step.  #2 proper install & check torque on a regular basis.  After initial install, check after about 100 miles or so.  Then recheck at each tire rotation, +/- 3000 to 5000 miles.

Bumping this thread as its probably my next mod.  

 

Anyone know if 1.25" spacers work on the stock 20" black 5 Spokes.  Enough clearance to not have to trim the studs?  No rubbing at full lock?

in order to clear the studs you need 1.75" spacers, but depending how the back of the wheels are, it's possible the protruding portion of the stud can sit in "pockets" in the back of the wheel.

Have any of you considered the track width?  Looks like the front is 1" wider then the rear.  So would ordering a 1/2" spacer in the front and a 1.5" in the rear give you a more straight line look?

The front is 1/4” wider per side

Pulled the trigger on some 1 1/4” spacers for my truck.  Install took about 1.5 hours as I was taking my time, did test fitting at each wheel, made sure everything was clean, then made sure all were installed correctly.  Here’s a pic of how she looks...

1 1/4” spacer need any stud trimming? And I didn’t catch which brand you went with? Nice truck! Perfect stance IMO!

I swear I must be not looking at my truck close enough. I’ve got a bds lift so I know physically my track width is about and 1.25 wider in the front but I swear you can’t tell by looking at it. I would have to put a straight edge on the surface to tell the difference. Maybe because I have a crew cab standard bed so they are farther apart so it harder to tell? Or am I neglecting my poor girl and no spending enough time looking at her?

The widened track is blatantly obvious bro lol. It’s about 1.75” per side also, not 1.25”

Well I guess it’s time for an eye appointment brother haha. If I put my wheels straight, walk about 20 feet back and squat down and sort of move my head back and forth I can kinda see it. And you’re probably right about size difference I did my lift about 6 months back so I don’t recall the exact measurements I took. If it wasn’t raining so damn much I’d snap a picture.

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.

      Tire fitment

      By JakeD · Posted

      Yes your absolutely right, I been looking at the 4 inch BDS one and it acutely states you can use the stock 20’s just not the 17’s or 18’s, I also didn’t realize that with my 275/60r20 stock wheels I’m already running 33 inch diameter wheel setup lol so I can just run my stock wheels and tires atleast to start.

      I would expect that to be lift-kit dependent.  If the kit has interference issues w stock wheels, then the kit/manufacturer should indicate that somewhere.
