I don't understand everyone's obsession with Fuel wheels. They're ugly and expensive. I HATE the massive center caps on them so they can sell them as dual bolt patterns to save money.

Is anyone running 305/70R18 with a +1 offset and 5 inch backspace on there setup. I am currently running the stock set up on my 2020 silverado 1500 6.2 Ltz with bilstein 5100 front struts set to max setting got about a 2 inch lift overall set at the max. I was squating in the back so I added a 2 inch block and bilstein shocks in rear. Want to upgrade my wheels and tires now just not sure how big I can go I am willing to to cut some plastic and remove the mud flap bracket but don't want to have to take the crash bar out just yet maybe in the future. I also tow a 8500 lb camper trailer a few times a year I will be getting air bags soon for that.

These tires do not rub with stock trail boss suspension (removed blocks in the rear), and I’m running the Bilstein B8 5100 trail boss struts up front, regular Silverado shocks in the rear. Rides really nice.

 

The tires poke out 2” past a 2” flare. It was either fender lights or flares with more than 3” of protrusion, so thanks, Virginia, I’m running a fender flare instead of a light, because this truck is not a 2500.

Much quieter. I had the 18” Goodyears and they started screaming at 25,000 miles. I’ve put 20,000 on my mickeys and they haven’t worn much, if at all. They’re load range F (12 ply), and I run about 42-44 psi in them.

The M/T Baja Boss A/Ts are a tad bit more expensive than the Falken Wildpeak AT3Ws and the BF Goodrich KO2s, but I’ve had all three. I loved my Falkens, but these Mickey’s are my favorite. KO2’s wear out too fast and cup real easy

i pulled the trigger on the Baja Boss A/Ts since my local AAA shop matched the ebay/discount tire 20% that's currently running. i get them put on early next week. looking forward to the 'quieter' ride.

2019 LT TB. I’ll be riding stock suspension. Read through a lot of the thread here and it seems like I’ll be good with a 18x9 +18 Moto Metal Mo970 and 33x12.50 Ko2s, right? No rub? And if it’s on the flap I’ll just cut some.

How are you liking these?  Loud? Smooth?

    • 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.
