Finally got the rear blocks in

The rear blocks are from the previous generation trucks (they are ~1.2" and I milled them down to 1").New U bolts from a 2018 are perfect length.  Top pics it without the blocks , bottom with. IMG_7423.thumb.jpg.3b6ae1f2e95798495441e15f7c03fd2b.jpg

Nothing too fancy, have a set of Z71 Tahoe 20" rims I swapped from the 20" black elevation package. Both had the 275 Trailrunners. I just added 2" factory lift and probably going to level 1" off the front. Will likely go a little more aggressive down the road but still enjoying my gas mileage so no need to change right this second20220707_183932.thumb.jpg.420a2b35f6001781a9f18efc3f08818e.jpg.

Looks great. Have you measured the fender heights? I think you’re right about the taller tire looking better.

Recently picked up my new ‘22 AT4 and swapped out the Duratrac’s for 295/70R18 Ridge Grapplers. Kept the stock setup and surprisingly have no rubbing even at full lock.

How does the road noise of the Ridge Grapplers compare to the stock Duratracs?  I'm thinking about getting the same tire for my 2021 AT4.

I’d definitely recommend them. They’ve been extremely quiet, so far. I drive with my stereo off quite a bit because I’ve got a 3 year old that wants to talk to me non-stop and I’ve never noticed them in the silence and have zero issues hearing my kid from the back when he’s talking. They’ve easily surpassed my expectations for such a rugged looking tire.

Thanks.  That is very helpful.  My 8 year old is the exact same way.

I have a '20 rst z71 Silverado with the 20 inch stock wheels and goodyear tires. After having trouble the last couple weeks in the rain--28k miles and normal tire wear for the mileage, they don't seem to stick in hardly any rain situation now. When I initially bought the truck 2 years ago, I was going to get black wheels later on.. I just never got around to that. Since I'm DONE with these tires(plus I've got nail holes in 2 of them that don't seem to leak), I thought I might as well look for wheels too.

 

I'm looking for a black wheel the same size as the stock 20s that came on it.. I don't want to have to get everything recalibrated to a new wheel or tire size. I like the way the trail boss wheels are, but they're 18s. I'm not doing a lift or level or anything, just want black wheels that wont' have to have any spacers or anything. Hopefully something that isn't weak or too heavy.

 

I've never got after market wheels before and don't exactly know where to start looking, and how about to get the tire pressure monitoring sensors put in the new wheels(would i have to buy those separate or would they move my old ones to the new wheels.)

33.1" Pizza Cutters (33x10)

Black Rhino Chase 0 offset 17x8.5 (25 lbs ea)

Falken Wildpeak AT3w 255 80r17 Load range E (52.5 lbs ea)

 

These stick out 0.7" further than the stock 20's(33x11) and there's additional 1.5" clearance on inside edge of tire. There's also 1.5" more sidewall. Ride/acceleration/etc. feels same as stock 20's. Actual wheel weight turned out 74.25 lbs which is exactly 4 lbs lighter than 20" factory set up. Both set ups measured 32 1/4" tall while on the truck. And if I could have found Black Rhino Rapid wheels I would be 2 lbs less than that per corner, they rate at 23 lbs, so those looking for performance you're welcome, would be hard to find lighter than those Rapids. Tread width measures 8".

Looks good! I am thinking of going this route. Do you think the size difference is too much to use the stock spare tire, if needed?

No photos to share, mine is still stock but, for those who have installed taller than stock tires - up to 35" - how has it affected overall drivability, shifting at highway speed, etc.?  I had 35's on an older model Silverado and at 65-75mph on the interstate, it had issues staying in top gear. Just curious to hear real-world experiences. TIA

    • Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.
    • 10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O. 
    • Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.    
    • apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
    • yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
