Correct, 6” Fabtech lift and thanks!

??
I’ve got a BDS 2” going on my 20 AT4 this week. It’ll net me 4” total. Also have 20x10 -18’s and 35/12.5’s to install. I know I’ll have to trim some but that’s part of the fun!

Stock 22's currently but I dig them. Comfortable, no road noise, and can't go wrong with black on black. Maybe down the line might add a lift and switch up wheels especially after seeing everyone's setups !!!

Got my new wheels mounted today. 20" TB replicas in titanium grey from Florida Speed Shop. Highly recommend them for wheels. Transaction was easy and shipping was fast. I love the way they turned out on my truck. Still running stock tires until they're due to be replaced and then I may go with something more aggressive.

Thanks! Every truck I've ever had has been red with black wheels so I decided to try something a little different this time. The titanium grey has a lot of personality in the sunlight. I'm glad I went this direction.

Went and got me a Rocky Ridge Sierra and traded my AT4. 6” Rocky Ridge Lift, 35x12.5x20 tires and 20x9 wheels. Love it so far and I think I can stuff 37’s once I wear these out.

2020 Sierra 1500 SLT. Stock suspension/no lift. 

 

My first foray into the world of GMC trucks with 20 inch wheels and tires. 

 

I just finished browsing through all 34 pages of this forum thread...wow, what a great place for wheel and tire advice! 

 

My truck came with Bridgestone Alenza 275/60/R20. Not a bad looking tire, but I think I'd like something a wee bit taller and all terrain. What options do I have to keep the stock wheels but get a taller tire and not have to cut/modify the wheel well housing? In a couple of the forum posts I thought I saw someone with stock suspension saying they had installed 285/60/20 or 275/65/20, but I failed to notice if they had a AT4 or a SLT like mine.

 

If anyone has pics of a stock SLT setup w different tires, please share!

Thanks in advance for your help!

22x12 -45 Fuel Mavericks with 325/50R22 Ridge Grapplers.

 

This size tire is slightly louder than the smaller 35x12.5 Ridge Grapplers I had before but still very quiet on pavement.

 

No rubbing forward or reverse after some minor plastic trimming. I had previously removed the mud flap bracket and tied back the wheel well liners.

Nice truck man! Front end looks really aggressive. Can you send me a link to the silver piece you have on the lower bumper? I’m digging that!

Started out with a leveling kit but after a few months I went with 6in RC lift with skid plate strut spacers and N3 shocks.  Air dam removal. Kept the Nitto G2 295/60 r20 since I already had them when I did the leveling kit.  May upgrade to 35x12 later but with the 34s there was no rubbing or cutting needed and the acceleration is good.  Fuel Rebel 20x10 are the rims.  Side steps are also RC.  Rides smooth as factory. Also added GM cold air intake and Black Widow exhaust.

I’ve also had a leveling kit for a month or two and already know I want the lift instead too, haha.

Nice truck.

    • While waiting for parts I have been working on installing the AC compressor, new accumulator, and orifice tube. Also changed out the high side ball valve (original). The orifice tube that was in there wasn't too bad. Slightly dirty, a little bit of junk, but not blocked. Glad I changed it out.   The accumulator, which should have been a 5 minute job, may have just burned $50. Put some PAG in it, wrote the date and mileage on the side, fresh o-rings and gooey'd up the threads and rings with Nylog. Got everything connected and snugged and was going to vacuum down the system, and....   My manifold gauge won't fit on the port. It's not an R12 service port. It LOOKS like an R134 service port but the diameter is a hair too large. There's a sticker on the accumulator that says it's designed to be used with R12 and R134a systems only. So it's not R1234yf. Even if I reduced the diameter slightly with a file, the shoulder on the port is too large so the quick-connect valve won't lock on. I'm stumped. It's going back, and 50/50 on if they'll give me a refund.   Also, I did a fuel pressure test.... Key on, the gauge spikes to about 60psi and quickly bleeds off, like 2psi per second. The fuel isn't going into the plenum, no smell, starts fine, so I'm guessing there's a bad check valve in the pump and the fuel is just draining back into the tank. oh, hell. But, it shouldn't be a problem, pump primes just fine and the truck starts right up. It just means I can't really ever use fuel pressure to verify a leak at the injector or intake.
    • Got this yesterday out of nowhere. Truck is a 25',6.6 gasser with 8k miles.  Only semi anomaly is that the truck had been sitting, uncranked for 6 days. Elec Stability Control showed immediately upon cranking, not while driving. No drivability issues, just the message. Battery didn't seem to be weak when cranking over.  I drove it, killed it, let it sit a few hrs with no avail.  Truck is 100% stock. No damage. 
    • This can be done.  It is not cheap and requires an instrument cluster swap with custom programming, new steering wheel with the controls on it, and a special jumper harness.   The cluster upgrade - 12.3” Digital Cluster Upgrade – 2022.5–2026 Silverado / Sierra (T1 Refresh Pickup) - WAMS   The wheel upgrade - Steering Wheel Upgrade Kit – 2022.5–2026 Silverado / Sierra (T1 Refresh Pickup) - WAMS   The column harness upgrade - 2019 - 2026 Silverado / Sierra: Steering Wheel LIN Bus Harness - Harness Dr. - DIY Done Right     The problem with doing all of this?  You pretty much can't have any programming done to your truck that involves the cluster ever again.  The dealer won't be able to program the cluster as GM's system will only pull data for the cluster the truck came with.  So it would be advised also to turn off over the air updates.   TLDR;  Should have bought an LT double cab?  You'd have a power seat, the wheel controls, the cluster, all things that you've been seeking in your various posts so far about your new WT regular cab.  
    • I was unaware of that, thanks for updating me.
    • Yes.  The 2.7 Turbomax has Active Fuel Management.  It is NOT the same as the V8s.  Totally different system.     Here is an article from GM when the 2.7 came out explaining the cylinder deactivation and the valve lift system.  Starts at the section called "SCS Valvetrain":   New Turbocharged 2.7L 4-Cylinder Engine Powers Full-Size Trucks – TechLink         This is an internet myth going around.  It was alleged that some 5.3s had this mystical 8th digit of the VIN as an "E" which somehow meant it had a new one year only 5.3 that didn't have DFM.  The writer of said article and the person that made the claim conveniently can't count because they posted the VIN.  The 8th digit was a "D" which meant its still the 5.3 with DFM.  The 9th digit of the VIN was an "E" and the 9th digit isn't the engine code.  At all.
