Yes spacers were essential as it does rub without. No vibrations noted however..rides great. Studs plenty long. Was a little bothered by having to run spacers but got such a good price on wheels i got over it. BTW I think I saw where EBay had same price listed for what I got for...$790 to my door. Also read somewhere where an installer grounded calipers down ALOT after buying and researching/disecting an oem caliper and had no ill effects. Forgot where I read this. Hope this helps.

I know the K2 guys have one of these threads so I figured we should too. Think it’d be useful for others. Post pics of your setup! Make sure to add specs of the wheels/tires, spacers, suspension, rubb

Looks awesome.  I have the same truck and am looking at the exact same lift & tires but I fear the truck wont fit in my garage with the new setup.  Any chance you could measure and let me know the height from ground to highest point on your truck?  Would seriously help me decide.  Also, any rubbing or trimming needed?  Thanks!

Looks good. I just got my at4 and won't be changing the tires/wheels probably for a few months. I'm curious as to how these have held up? Any updated pics?

Thank you!  This is the EXACT info I'm looking for.  I want a different rim but these specs. Are you happy with the sst kit? Any trimming or rub?

Did it sacrifice any ride quality?  Lastly did this mess with your mpg's?  

Once I read about the at4's and auto 4wd issues as well as added stress on truck I got nervous.  Lots of misinformation out there.  

Tia!

Rides fantastic. No rubbing. No trimming. These should last another 75k miles until an upgrade to a 4”.

I’m very happy with this kit. I would certainly recommend it, including the new UCA’s. Ride quality has not been compromised at all - my wife could not tell the difference and she typically prefers a smooth ride. This is very smooth, just like OEM.

No trimming. Very, very minor rub in the front wheel wells at full turn. But it is so slight that I have not needed to do anything to correct it. I am about 1,000 miles in on these tires and it all but stopped with that minimal of tire wear.

I ran this kit with the stock wheels and it had zero impact on gas mileage. When I went to the larger and heavier 305/55/20 setup, I lost about 1-1.25 mpg. Small sacrifice for this setup IMO.

So far, I have not experienced any auto 4wd issues, but I only used that setting 2x after I installed the SST.

I installed the SST myself, on my garage floor. It took about 5 hours, mainly because the time it took me to compress the struts.

Hope that helps!

Thanks!  Definitely helped. I have been all over the net looking for straight answers regarding this set up. Sounds exactly like what I need to do. Do you know your backspacing?

I know the offset went from +27 stock to 0 with my Moto Metal wheels. But I don’t have the backspacing off hand.

Hey Ryan,

 

A 20x10 with a +0 offset will be a 5.5" back spacing. If you're looking for that specific set up PM me and I'll send you a link with options.

yea from what I've read the negative offsets is when you run into more issues.

Where did you buy the 2" lift blocks from?

I bought them from Rough Country as well. The were a little hard to find on their site, but they are tapered part # 6592 and do a good job. You’ll have to buy the new u bolts. I already had some from a previous truck, so they worked. I also bought the aluminum level kit part # 1313.

Got the rims a week ago and had intentions to run the stock tires for a bit. Couldn't handle the stock tires and pulled the trigger today on some Duratracs.

Stock size at 275/60/20. Crazy...but they rub a little bit on passenger side full lock in reverse. 

 

Rims are Fuel Rebel 20x9 +1 offset.

      Stabilitrak conversion to Z71

      By teamjnz · Posted

      Sounds like converting will be a bigger endeavor than I was thinking. This truck doesn't have 2Hi like the Suburban did. The Tahoe has 4Hi and 4Lo and a button to turn of traction control.   From what I understand the Stabilitrak uses open diff in the front and rear. When wheel speed is not the same the stabilitrak uses the ABS system to slowdown the spinning wheel(s) to transfer power to the slower non-spinning wheel(s). I thought the transfer case was open too. Being able to transfer power either more to front or rear depending on wheel spin. Maybe I miss understood some information with you saying and power transfer is 50-50. Thanks

      OCI, not when but why?

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      My brother has a 2007 Avalanche with afm 5.3. It`s got 176,000 miles. Runs like a clock. Never been apart. Co worker has a 2010 Tahoe with afm 5.3. 230,000 miles. Never been apart. Runs like a clock. So, even though cyl deac is a weak spot, they can go the distance.   BUT, these engines had the oil changed regularly, AND had 5w30 as spec. I wonder if they would have lasted this far on 0w20? I`ll bet not.

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I certainly could be wrong but I hear of pickups far newer than that 2007 cutoff which may not be going to the wrecker but are having engine work done and be that a reman engine or new engine or trying to repair the existing engine. Some of it would be design issues as per the cylinder deactivation system that GM has and one of those lifters wiping out the cam and the question of oil changes moving the needle or not on that whole mess, or in the case of Ford pickup engines that have the long timing chains and wearing them out and the roller followers and phasers and some of that certainly goes back to oil change intervals. But in those various cases the truck has all sorts of life left in it and so the unfortunate owner and may be original owner or used market owner that is pouring money into repairs so the truck is not seeing the salvage yard yet but damage is happening by infrequent oil changes. A friends son had bought a 2018 I think it is half ton GM and it had some sort of extended or used dealer warranty on it and of course the lifter issue bites and its rattling and so the dealer had to swallow the bill and was at least 7000.00 and I think they only replaced what they felt they had to replace so yeah, I can see that being a ticking time bomb in the not too distant future. Would frequent oil changes cure all these engineering "marvels", probably not but some engine designs have shown that they do much better if the oil is changed a lot more often then if the manufacturer service claims are followed. New trucks cost so much that there is an incentive to keep the existing truck on the road by repairing.

      get a good code reader, and find out what problems the truck has noticed by reading codes. cheap ones can only get basic engine codes, you may want to get one that can get codes from all the computers in your truck.

      This is sort of my point, salvage yards aren't overflowing with all these 'poorly' maintained trucks - excellent/good/servicable condition otherwise, salvaged only as a result of a bad engine from poor oil change regiment.    In my area, there are no 2007 to newer gm trucks/suvs in any salvage yards. A few are in the 'recyclers' with very obvious reasons for being there - wrecked.
