I went with a 1” motofab lift, Ridge Grappler 305/55/R20, fuel Vandal 20x9 +1 offset.  We had to remove the bracket behind the mud flap as it was pushing the mud flap forward and making it rub against the tire at full lock.  After removal, we were able to push the mud flap back about a half inch and now have zero rub.

Did you have any issues putting the 1” lift on here with the stock 2” lift? How did that all work out?

275/70r18 BFG K02's on 1.75" spacers.  Slight rub on reverse at full turn, not enough to do anything about.

No issues here, I stayed on the safe side and just went with the 1".  I know a lot of others were going with the 1.5" but I really worried about using either of those.  But a guy on the FB groups said he personally talked to Motofab and they recommended going with just the 1".  So far no issues and I love it.  I started with a 2" rake, now I am at about 3/4" rake.

I went with the 1" as well. I wouldnt want to push it any further.

Your truck looks great. Would you be willing to snap a side profile? Curious about how far that wheel and tire setup would sit from the body. I love the stock wheels and was thinking about getting some new tires and possibly spacers.

Anyone know what the widest tire that can be run with the factory 18" wheel and no spacers? I've been eyeballing the toyo mt in 35x12.5r18 but i have a feeling they will rub on the ball joint.

pg 3...at4 barely pulls off  35x12x5 duratracs with minor rubbing.

trailboss might be different...also if you throw in a 1 or 1.5" leveling kit that could help. 

 

duratracs are actually (34.8"x12.5")

toyo mts vary the 128Q (same as duratracs).....123Q(35"x13.2")

wow cant believe i missed that. Thanks!! The trail boss and at4 should have the same balljoint/knuckle clearance. Trail boss just has a little bit larger wheel well opening.

I have the Motofab 1.5" level with 20x9 +1 Fuel Mavericks and 305/55R20 Ridge Grapplers.

 

I did not have to trim or modify the mudflap and have no rubbing so you should have no problem with a +20 offset.

Hey bro. Is this the 1” level kit you went with?

I like the rake and don’t want to get rid of it completely, but have 20x10 -18’s and 305/55’s coming and don’t want to run into any slight rubbing issues.

Thanks!

Yeah, that is it, but you can get it on ebay for cheaper.  Also, you are going to rub alot with the 20x10 -18, I tried to put those on but the 20x9's rubbed way too much.  You will need to go with at least a 2" lift if you want to run 305/55, otherwise you will get lots of rubbing.  If you are fine with cutting up the mudflap, then you wont have an  issue, but I didnt want to go that far with it.

Thanks for the heads up. Spoke to two people. One in a stock AT4 with the same wheels and 295/55 that fit perfectly, zero rubbing and one with a LTZ with a 2” level up front that had to cut into his mudflap. I figure on a Trailboss with an Inch more height then the LTZ and 2” Level and removing the mud flap bracket and cutting it a little I’ll be fine. Just trying not to cut into the fender liners.

      Whoever greenlighted the work truck matte black front bumpers on every trim but the AT4X should be fired!  I was hoping that was an AI mistake, but just realized they were on every model of the 2027 Silverado too.     Some parts of the interior do look premium, but the Denali Ultimate dashboard looks like an afterthought.  At least they appear to have lost the microfiber the high end Silverado models showed, but the '27 High Country dash looks better than the Denali.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      New member here. I am researching a read-first event-recorder concept for late-model GM V8 trucks. This is not a sales post. There is no product link, price, preorder, or mailing list. I am trying to determine whether the underlying problem is real before building anything.   Has your truck ever had a brief problem such as: - rough running or a momentary misfire - an oil-pressure warning or unusual pressure event - reduced power or a brief stall - a U-code or lost-communication problem - a symptom that disappeared before the dealer or independent shop could reproduce it   If so, I would appreciate the following details: - year, model, engine, and mileage - what happened and under what conditions - whether a DTC and useful freeze-frame data were stored - whether the shop was able to reproduce it - what the eventual confirmed repair was, if known - what additional information would have helped the diagnosis   The concept being evaluated is a removable leave-in recorder that continuously retains a rolling window from before and after an event. It would not tune, reflash, clear codes, or change the vehicle calibration.   I am also not claiming that it could predict lifter failure or see every internal ECM variable.   The real question is whether continuous event history would add enough useful evidence beyond freeze frame, GDS2, and existing scan tools — or whether it would simply be another unnecessary gadget.   For owners and technicians, which problem would make something like this genuinely useful: 1. intermittent misfire or AFM/DFM-related behavior 2. oil-pressure events 3. lost communication or electrical faults 4. none of the above Please be blunt. Negative feedback is just as useful as positive feedback.

      No tears over the SLE and SLT trim levels disappearing but I kind of loathe the "Elevation" name. It's a truck--skip the elegance.   The slab-dashboard design is decidedly different. Almost has a Hummer flavor to it. "Professional Grade" seems to be leaning very white-collar, tech-driven these days moreso than blue-collar, functional design.   The Silverado would be my choice between the two new trucks. Pleased with the engine lineup in both. The GMC is a little "too much" for a truck, IMO, and the Denali borders on ridiculous - but I do know there are buyers for luxury trucks out there. It's just not my speed.

      - I like the outside but not as much as the Chevrolet.  They ICE'd the EV styling and it works, but I think exterior goes to Chevy on this one.     - SLE and SLT dead = Not.  Surprising.  Fits into the rest of the GMC lineup like this which (aside from Pro) matches the rest of the family.  Elevation, AT4, Denali.     - Interior.  Sophisticated Malaise era.  Why do I say Malaise?  Drawn with a ruler.  Rectangles everywhere.  Looks very premium though.
