Look great! Any rubbing issues with the 35s? Did you use the spacers for clearance issues or just for looks?

For the price you can’t beat it. I haven’t had any issues but I have noticed a slight humming coming from the front wheels at like 90+ mph. Idk if its the wind hitting it or what. Haven’t really looked into it.

If anyone is interested I have  a brand new Suspension Maxx leveling kit for the 2019 denali 1500. It is a 2.5 in front and 1.5 in back. I have the full kit still in box Im just deciding against putting it on because I do not think it will fit in my garage if I install it. If anyone is interested let me know.

Rubbing? Oh yeah! The spacers were needed for clearance at the upper control arm. Could've got by with 1/2" but I wanted the front out a little bit. Along with that and the front only lift/level, I was shooting for a stance similar to the baja trucks. Without the mudflap mod, I still had only 22-23° of turn availible till I could hear rubbing. After removing the rear fender mounting bracket and pulling the inside of the mudflap to the frame rail, I get 35ish° which is almost full lock.

Are those 11.50’s or 12.50’s?

Yeah! More pics, please! I have the exact same truck and have been wondering what it would look like with a 1.5” and 285 or 295 tires! 

Can you post some additional pictures? Id be doing a similar setup.

How does the ride and handle compare to the OEM duelers? I have an older Tahoe that rides like crap since I added 10 ply tires...wanna avoid that mistake with my new truck...

This is my Trailboss, with the black parts deleted, and a 1.5” level on 285/65r20 KO2’s. Love the ride. Feels like stock.

Dang, that looks nice. Did you notice a big drop in power with the heavier tires? How about ride quality and handling? I want the exact same look on my 5.3 LTZ. I wanna go with the same tires as you or the 35x11.5x20 ridge grapplers. Thanks!

Thanks man! I have always loved these BFGs. I got the 285’s and honestly they do look a hair small. They are a tall tire, but just a tad skinny in my opinion. I did that on purpose though, because they offer a little less weight (drag) and better fuel economy than the 35x12.50’s in the same tire. Power loss is negligible. Ride is close to stock, but with the 10plys and the leveling kit it’s a bit stiffer. I’m running them at 35psi cold, which has helped some. Handling is nearly the same. A touch more body roll, but that’s bc the center of gravity is higher, and I kinda like that fee anyway.
 

I have had BFGs on my last three trucks, and know how great a tire they are. But I LOVE the way the Nitto Ridge’s look. If they weren’t so heavy I prob would have bought the Ridge Grapplers in 35x12.50’s.

I’ve had two sets of Nitto Ridge Grapplers, both had their siping wear very fast and started slipping with almost 15k - 16k miles on them, you’d be better off with KO2’s.

 

KO2’s have siping that runs straight through the lugs

The Nitto Ridge Grapplers siping reminds me of an after thought and wear quickly

With 16k miles on them, siping wearing prematurely creating slippery nerve racking moments.

There was a study done by a marketing firm some years back, people prefer the chunky sidewall and that’s why Nitto Ridge Grapplers became such a big hit but it’s a phase, stick with experience and you’ll be fine.

      Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By Another JR · Posted

      The thinking is that starting out in a higher gear makes it easier to avoid applying excessive torque when pressing the gas pedal. In a modern 4wd truck with 4 low and a limited slip or locking rear end, I would use 4 low and try to crawl up the ramp. Sometimes if they are too slippery, you have to back up to let the boat have some bouyancy, and then accelerate briskly to get some momentum to help you pull the through the slippery parts.

      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.
