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

    • The part # is 84520447, mine does not have the cooled seats but I'm willing to possibly change the cover and foam if needed.   I tried that site and a few others,  added to cart and then paid. About an hout later I received a refund stating it has been discontinued. 
    • Thought I would add to what Bruce answered, not only do the HD models use the torsion bar system, there are I believe 5 different torsion bar spring ratings that are all physically interchangeable with all the HD trucks going from a two wheel drive 2500 all the way up to the duramax or a gas engine truck with a snow plow prep package front end weight capacity that use the maximum sized torsion bar. It starts from a 4400 lb rated set in 400 lb increments up to 6000 lb. If one wants to fine tune the ride for a certain truck application they can swap out the torsion bars. 
    • First off pay close attention to what Newdude pasted as he is a GM tech !.    I have a couple of questions which might cross off some questions others on this forum would be wondering about as well. So when was the engine oil changed prior to this trip, was it almost brand new oil or did it already have a fair bit of use on it before you started the trip.   Did you check the oil level on flat ground and was it at the full mark just before leaving on this trip which I gather from google map is about 700 miles or so. Why I ask and this is not the first time in history that has happened, that either a dealer or some other shop changed the oil on the vehicle and the vehicle left the shop and the owner ( you ) assumed the engine oil was full but in reality the person who changed the oil simply did not put enough oil into the engine .. it happens !. Also that a shop put the wrong viscosity oil in and an engine was not happy with that thinner viscosity and oil got past the rings at a higher rate than the proper viscosity. Not to mention if there was any leaking out of a drain plug or the filter gasket etc. 
    • You could, although in the end it really doesn't make much difference what comes out in exact terms since it comes down to putting enough back in so that there is enough volume so that something flows back out once the trans is up to temp for the check procedure. I presume your putting a pan on that has a drain plug but its probably the same pan mold/size as at least a while back no extra volume pan was made for the gas truck version due to the exhaust cross over pipe issue. All I can say as per volume I put back in and this was based on changing out the filter as some is trapped in it that does not come out until its removed because of the way its made inside and my truck had sat over night with the trans having been hot when shut down and dripping internally before I pulled the pan. I went off of what the trans shop suggested as a minimum volume he found worked which was 9 1/2 quarts and I had enough flow out of the stand pipe that I knew I was right on the money once it slowed to a dribble and never wasted hardly any oil but it would be totally fine to throw in a full 10 quarts too. I guess personally I wouldn't ruin a perfectly good pan by drilling a hole in it, not with the cost of replacement pans up here or the dorman one anyway with the drain was 500.00 when I priced one out a while back, totally stupid.    I might not have said before but this trans oil type really expands with heat and I think its been said on this forum and the trans shop said the same so I wanted to try and hit the lower temp of the range vs at the top or go shooting above it as that would allow more oil to flow out which wouldn't be ideal. 
    • Since I am going to be replacing the pan, I am just going to drill a hole in the original to drain it so I will be able to catch the fluid easier and measure how much I took out.
