I was wonder if anyone has any photos of a SLT with AT4 wheels on it.  I don't typically like dark wheels when a vehicle also has chrome, but with the polished face I was curious how it would look.

 

 look at a lot of photo in this thread, but will admit I didn't go through all 70 pages.

 

Thanks for any help.

It is the 2" lift that you can buy from GM... It's the same one they put on the Trail Boss and AT4's.

It looks pretty level, do you have a leveling kit on top of it?

Anyone running 285/55/22 on their 2022/2023 Denali with a level?

 

I’ve had Nitto Terra Grapplers on chrome CK158 reps on my 2014 Silverado and love the setup, however am looking to upgrade. 
 

If anyone has photos please post and you’ll likely get me into a new truck sooner 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

I am getting ready to put those on my elevation with a level. its the 1.5 motofab spacer upfront not the 2". I will post pics when its done. I had a hard time finding many pics of this set up. I believe there are 2 guys on here that have it on their trucks.

Your AT4 looks good. Have you leveled it? How much difference do the new tires make in ride quality?

Apologies for slow response.  I did the 1 inch Cognito kit and I really like it.  In my opinion, it's the perfect level and looks like we all wanted it to come from the factory.  

 

Thus far, the Coopers are great - no complaints.  The ride is great, they are quiet and they performed really well in snow.   Plus, they were buy 3 get 1 free at Big O....incredible deal!

Hello - This not a post of a setup just a potential setup.  Looking for some assistance so I do not have to return anything?

I have a 22 LTD RST Redline with 275/60/20 on it. I have the Eibach Pro Truck Lift System Stage 1 with aftermarket Control Arms. Wondering if I could get away with putting 20x9; 18mm Offset on it with clearance and without stressing the ball joints.  Was told 18mm offset is too much strain on the ball joints? Looking to run either Toyo OC AT 3s or BFG Ko2 unsure of what size as well.  Would I need any spacers?

 

Any assistance would help me out.  Thanks.

 

I looked in this thread and got about 40 deep then just came here to post.

Stock wheels are +24mm offset so going with a +18 offset is only 1/4"(6mm) difference. Whoever told you that crap doesn't know what they're talking about. I run 20x10's with a -12 offset and have to run a 6mm spacer to clear the caliper so it's technically a -18mm offset with 275/60/20 tires for my summer setup. In the winter I run the stock 20" Trail Boss wheels with 2" spacers and no issues.

Thanks for the reply @GETGONE OK I kind of figured that coming from the source that told me. But I like to hear it from others that actually own a Silverado and have done it.  Cool so I shall continue with that setup.  Thanks.

2021 Elevation. Bilstein 5100 all around and set the front to the max height which is 2.5" I believe. tires are 285/55r22 Nitto recon grapplers on OEM 22" rims. I removed the mudflap bracket and reinstalled the mudflap but I still have a very small amount of rubbing, Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get rid of that without going higher? removing the bracket and creating a hole to reuse one of the bracket bolts helped a lot.

So, I’m new to the forum. Hello all. I’ve done quite a bit to this 4.3 Double Cab CTB 1500.

Here’s what I’ve done for wheels and tires on a factory height trail boss suspension, minus the rear blocks. NO WHEEL SPACERS. Very close on the wheel to caliper distance, though.

This also includes Bilstein 5100 B8 shocks and struts…regular Silverado shocks in the rear, trail boss struts in the front for suspension compatibility with rear block removal and smoother ride.

 

The Western Wheels, Edge

20” diameter, 12” width, -44mm offset, 110 mm hub (with hub centric rings)

 

Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T, 305/55R20 tires

 

If anyone wants to know what else I’ve done, I’ve got a laundry list of mods and explanations on how to install all of them, in detail.

    • Yes I agree, its what amounts to free advertising to let people know about his UOA testing company, and not that there is anything wrong with that but certainly that is a motivator for putting out videos about the science of oil as well as other topics such as oil and air filtration etc. The interesting part I found with his last video is not only the physics behind the reason for the varying wear due to a diesels working torque range causing more bearing load and that higher viscosity oil is of benefit, it was also that the chemistry behind the GM Dexos 0W-20 and the Mobil Dexos licensed 0W-20 are far enough apart that its showing up with a difference in wear even though the two oils are matched in viscosity and in that comparison viscosity was not having the finger pointed at it.    There are a few youtubers out there or one anyway that I have watched a bit of who has gone through the pains of accessing various countries manuals for a certain engine platform and while in the US/Canada it may say use 0W-20 or what have you for some Toyota product, in some other countries it sings a very different tune for the very same engine with the typical traditional oil viscosity/ambient temperature charts to help choose which oil viscosity is correct for the conditions the vehicle will be used in and in some cases its taken an engine in a US manual that states only use 0W-20 as per warranty coverage and yet that same engine in certain other countries may have up to a 15W-40 etc oil option that meets the spec. Another words the guy who is driving through Death Valley or Phoenix and south weather at 120f is often being fed a line of bs by the US system that has forced vehicle companies to restrict the warranty to a specific low viscosity oil for anterior reasons as well as the long drain interval suggestions.    Thankfully youtube is free ( yet anyway ) for viewers to sift through information and of course comes with the good and the bad ( truth and lies ) and we can choose to turn off/not watch what a person finds is bs or just not interested in the topic.         
    • No doubt... But, as someone who doesn't pay for his services, but who has provided a few views/clicks on his Youtube platform, the data around the Mobil oil testing I think does have some value including to "freeloaders" like me.   A lot of what he's doing is likely showing the OE's work in their oil selection, something that many of us had kind of assumed was true all along, a good balance of both excellent protection and efficiency.
    • Lake Speed is drumming up business for his company just by being in the spot-light so he has a vested interest in stoking the 0W-20 fire.  IMO  
    • I knew when I bought my truck that it had off road hill decent or craw control or whatever they call it and rolled my eyes at that but it gets throw on with other options my truck has, I just never had a heads up if the highway speed regular cruise setting had anything to do with the brakes and that took me by surprise. If you've ever been to the top of Pikes Peak and watched those ahead of you on the way down with their brake lights on constantly, one can guess they are probably not gearing down or not enough anyway if their vehicle will allow and a good reason their is a brake check spot part way down where they use an infra red heat gun to check how hot ones brakes are front and rear.    Your right that once one gets out of the front range by Denver and I've not been on that stretch of 285 between Denver and Fairplay myself but I know its high and Fairplay at 10000 feet, Buena Vista at 8000, it drops a bit from there but then your going back up and over the 11000 pass and Durango is at 6500 . So yes your definitely right that 6500 and a lot higher is the theme of going anywhere out in that direction from Denver but hey, the down hill sections give fantastic fuel mileage !.    I don't even look at the fuel pumps for what premium costs here, since I live on a farm and up to this point get fuel delivered I am rarely in front of a fuel pump and when I am, I am often using card lock bulk fuel stations so it tells me what the price is AFTER I buy the fuel. Looking up on gas buddy and converting to US gallons but in Canadian dollars, regular on average of the prices listed was around 5.95 and premium is around 7.00 . That was one reason I did not go for the 6.2 half ton aside from its lack of carrying/towing if one was going by the rule of using premium fuel and until recently one could only buy regular farm gas if playing the few cents off game for farm dyed fuel for a "farm licensed pickup". But yes I hear you on the fuel price difference and like the diesel theme with it often being more expensive then gas it doesn't have quite the charm to it either as it once did although right now here for some reason the price of diesel has come down more so its now inline with the price of regular gas. 
    • I agree with this assessment. As you know I’m testing longevity with vehicles for the first time. I have a few vehicles I passed to kids and grandkids. We’re all past 100K miles some approaching 170K. I’m the only one doing 5k oil changes. The rest whatever the minder says. I’m the only one doing frequent transmission service. My odyssey the trip vehicle at 200K will be finished as a trip vehicle. I recently changed to high mileage oil, Valvoline. I can’t get past the fact that all manufacturers want to claim long service life. I just don’t make sense that they would go with low weight oil for mileage. While sacrificing longevity.
