I just got my 19 Silverado back today and ended kinda disappointed. I did not gain 3 inches in the front and have a pretty noticeable rake still. Do you happen to have what your stock measurements were compared to the new measurements are? 


Sorry I didn’t see this notification. I didn’t take any measurements, but the Bilsteins really took a while to wear in and actually let the truck sag under its own weight. At first the rake was noticeable, but now it’s at a level that I’m really happy with. A stock AT4 next to my truck looks like a funny car with all that factory rake. I’d have to imagine though that you’d need some B8 5100s up front too if you wanted a fully level look. I’ll get some measurements tomorrow for what it’s currently at.

Fuel Block 17x9 -12 offset with Falken Wildpeak MTs 35x12.5 all on the stock Trailboss suspension. Had to remove the front mud flap brackets and zip tie the liner back but that was expected. No rubbing going forward, just a slight rub at full lock in reverse. Got this setup about 2 years earlier than expected. Found the set of 5 tires and rims, brand new, for about the price of 3 on Facebook. Had to jump at that deal.

OEM wheels with Falken Wildpeak LT275/70R18.  Had these on with OEM Racho's prior to adding Bilstein's last week in Front/Back as displayed below.  Love how they work in the snow and stay nice and soft compared to BFG ATs.

Love this setup! Can you provide a few more pics? Exactly what I want and same truck in white. Just want a level with AT Tires but on stock wheels.

20X10 Fuel Tech Anthracite with 305/55/R20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers…..

 

I am having a 4” lift installed on Friday due to rubbing issues and I don’t like the idea of cutting anything to make it work.

I like your front bumper.  I see a hidden winch.  I'd love more info if you don't mind.

It is a 9500 lb. Winch by Rough Country. It fits nicely inside my Fab Fours bumper. I think it was about $400 if I remember.

    • are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.
    • Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆
    • I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death. 
    • In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them. 
    • I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.
