Posted on the T1 pics thread, but hadn’t seen this one until now. 

 

RST 

6” BDS lift dealer installed before purchase

20x9 Fuel Schisms with -1 offset

325/60/20 Fuel Gripper ATs (didn’t know Fuel made tires until I saw this set up lol)

 

Rides great and I’ll hold onto the Fuel tires for a year or so before throwing BFGs or Nittos on there.

Someone also asked how high it sits with a 6” lift and 35s. I had to know this too for my work garage, so I made my sales guy drive it up there the day before I bought it lol. Here’s some picks in a garage with 7’ clearance. I was safe by about 1 - 1 1/2 inches (his pic angles were off, but you still get a feel for it). So about 6’10”. I can also just barely fit it in my garage at the house, so win win for all the hail storms we get in Dallas.

I’m between 3” and 6” for my RST. I suppose I could do 3” first and go up from there if need be. Good looking truck!

Thanks! My 2014 was a 2.5” level and I ran 34s on there. I liked it...but I love this with 6” added and 35s. It’s all preference and like others have said in here, these trucks look like they were born to be lifted. It would look great with 3” or 6”. My thought is if you are even thinking you’ll go to 6”, then skip the 3”! :D

Truck looks awesome!

 

What are your thoughts on the fuel gripper a/t tires?  I was thinking of getting those exact same tires, but was also worried they’d be too wide and hit the control arms. I believe they also have a 50k mile warranty.

I’ve been pleasantly surprised with them. They are not terribly aggressive looking, but they perform well. I haven’t been able to get out and have some fun with the truck yet to see how they hold up under those kinds of conditions. I do a lot of highway miles, bought 4/11 and already have almost 4000 on the odo, and they are very quiet in my opinion. I had a little bit of a shimmy between 67-70 mph, so I had the dealer retorque all the suspension parts a few weeks ago and they chose to road force the tires, because of my shimmy complaint. They ended up replacing two of the tires since they had excessive runout. Now I’m running in the mid to high 70s with absolutely no vibration. So be on the lookout for that if you move forward with them. Other than that, I think they are great so far!

I've been waiting for my custom Icon coilovers for a few months now and they finally arrived yesterday! I'll be installing them hopefully shortly after I figure out how I can lift the truck high enough to put on jack stands :) The rear was easy since I could lift it from a central low point (the rear diff).

 

I'd really rather not pay a shop to do it since it's a fairly easy swap and I have all the tools I'd need. Just need a hydraulic lift hahaha. 

 

Stoked to put these on!IMG_0026.thumb.jpg.826f9ec381c294198afc3fa24bb66cf1.jpg

 

What specs did you go with? I had these on my Tundra and would love them on my 6'' BDS lift.

I am looking at this lift with the same wheels. Did you have any fitment issues?

No issues at all with a 35x12.50r20. I have zero rub at full lock uphill or downhill.

So here are two pictures...

 

The 1st is the Silverado that BDS built for SEMA

 

The 2nd is Rough Country’s Silverado

I agree with the lift looking better. I have the AT4, but I do think the rounded wheel wells look better than GMC--and I think that's what makes the lift look proportioned. (ANYTHING is better than the god awful square shapes they had.) With that, I don't care too much for the Chinese-looking, camaro style headlights on the Chevy. I don't care for--nor do I hate---the grill on the AT4; however, I do feel the 2017's had a better GMC grill. The new Chevy grill isn't too bad.

Just my 5cents (because it was a little more opinion than just the topic)

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.

      I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w
