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.

    • 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.  
    • 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.  
    • Yes your absolutely right, I been looking at the 4 inch BDS one and it acutely states you can use the stock 20’s just not the 17’s or 18’s, I also didn’t realize that with my 275/60r20 stock wheels I’m already running 33 inch diameter wheel setup lol so I can just run my stock wheels and tires atleast to start.
    • I would expect that to be lift-kit dependent.  If the kit has interference issues w stock wheels, then the kit/manufacturer should indicate that somewhere.
