Hey Russ!

My truck is a Trail Boss so it comes with a 2' lift from the factory. So when I added the 4' BDS kit, which is for Trail Boss and AT4 only, it raised it 4' on top of the 2' factory lift. So compared to a non Trailboss, its a 6' lift.

 

Correct I did have the ready lift 2' sst kit before to fit 35's. I went to the BDS kit so I could add 37's.

Awesome. I'm surprised as I've felt 4" is pretty high. Sharp truck mate,

I know the K2 guys have one of these threads so I figured we should too. Think it’d be useful for others. Post pics of your setup! Make sure to add specs of the wheels/tires, spacers, suspension, rubb

'22 Sierra Elevation 5.3 is a dealer custom done by a local shop here. It came with 20X9 or 20x10? matte black rims (unsure of manufacturer? and actual width size?), 305/55/R20 BFG KO2s, no rubs.  Has a RC lift either 3" or 4" (conflicting info from dealer) and the plastic mud flaps are trimmed. Looks like some carpet is trimmed off also. Planning to replace the wheels sometime soon but the ones I want are backordered so I'm waiting awhile to see if they become available. Not sure if I'll go with the same tire size ?

The pics in my post above show the truck as it looked when I bought it 3 yrs ago. I did find out a little more info: it has a 3" Superlift and the rims on it are like a generic Customizers shop brand. They are 20 X 9 +12. So now a month later I have done a number of things with the truck.

 

 

 

 

The new rims are Fuel Flame Blackout 20 X 10 -18. I decided to stay with the same tires I've been running on because they still have good tread and should last awhile yet. They are BFG KO2 305/55/R20 and they have 37,000+ miles at this point. Surprisingly they rubbed really bad on the mud guards when I got them mounted, even with the 3" lift and the mud guards already cut down by Customizers. I removed the mud guards and cut them down even more, then I pushed the carpet that was under the mud guards back behind the metal lip and zip tied it, then I went to a local 4WD custom shop and they did a 4 wheel alignment and shifted the front wheels forward about 3/4". Does not rub anymore and I replaced what was left of the mud guards and looks pretty good, but any ideas I had about getting bigger tires is off the table. I would have to cut or bend the metal corner behind where the mud guards are and may not be able to put them back on at that point, so I will stick with this size when I replace the tires in a few months.

 

 

 

 

 

I also went from a single exhaust tailpipe with plain bumper to a dual exhaust tailpipe with dual port bumper. The bumper is an aftermarket from LKQ. It had to be painted and came with the black tips. I always liked the look of the factory dual port bumper and regretted that my truck did not come with it.  It took a bit of money and effort but I'm pleased with how everything turned out.

Agreed. They are as flat black as an old BBQ grill. They would look better on a truck with enamel paint, or one that someone did a custom paint job on......like camo or OD green or something. To me the trucks with a shiny metallic finish look better with wheels that are at least somewhat shiny.

Truck looks great! The new wheels definitely look better. What do the front suspension angles (cv axles, balljoints) look like with the 3" superlift kit? That was one of the kits I've considered for my truck when I get around to doing it.

Ok so heres what it looks like at this point (maybe not the best pic?). Keep in mind this is after 3 yrs and 37,000 miles.

Here is also a pic of the mud guards.....or what's left of them. Only thing holding them on now is 1 screw in the bottom and the plug. You can also see just how much plastic and carpet was already removed by Customizers to fit the original rims and tires. Pretty much stripped down to bare bones under there.....but no tire rubbing!

Thanks! That's what I was looking for. Yeah looks like a fair bit of trimming.

In case anyone else is wondering if 285/65/20’s would fit a stock truck with no lift. They do.

Did you have to do any trimming? I'm assuming no rubbing at full lock?

Swapped in my 285/70R17 BFG KO3s on 17x8.5, 0mm Offset Method 705s from my Tacoma to my '23 AT4 immediately after I brought it home.  The Truck has a 2" leveling kit, UCA's already, and aligned so it was a no issue install.  

Drives and tows like a champ!

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Thanks for that, yes just because I could I measured what came out just to give me some guidance although I already knew to expect it to take at least 9.5 to just throwing in the whole 10 quarts off the shot and doing a one and done heat cycle to drop out the excess to get to the proper level. I don't recall exactly now what I measured that came out but was less than I put back in, I knew I spilled some on the garage floor but the main part was that I was thrilled in the discovery I did not have to touch my exhaust to flex it down. The gasket manipulating is a pain of course to create that clearance to take the pan out and put back in but its all very doable if one is careful and not forcing the gasket to flex too much. From the quote I got at a transmission shop of 900.00 here in Canada ( never asked at the dealer what they charge ) I saved 700.00 doing it myself after paying for the supplies so that to me paid very good wages !, and I knew what fluid was put in and that I had changed the filter and that the level is correct without any doubts.

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Typically its said and I agree so far that the engine oil drain plug oring is not required to be changed out unless you see some damage happening to the oring as apparently the oring lasts well. The dealer I have been getting a few parts from never even stocked the oring but instead stocked the whole drain plug that comes with a new oring which for the dealer is easier because they just throw in a new drain plug if there was any question about damage on it as well and charge the customer accordingly but again only if it is needed.    Also a hint about the drain plug oring to help it last vs a risk of causing damage to it, after its been removed and wiped off or washed off ( that is a whole other topic about some solvents damaging orings because some solvent types do ) to make sure to relube the oring with a bit of new oil so that it won't "grip" on the sealing surface of the pan and needlessly stress out the oring. Its no different than putting some oil on the sealing ring of the engine oil filter. So I just grabbed a new drain plug to have on hand although more recently bought just the oring as well but as its special it costs half the price of the drain plug ... !   Since you mentioned the hate to be empty handed theme, I am not sure what you have in the way of filter removal tools as I like using the exact sized for the filter steel 1" wide band with side to side swivel handle filter removal tool, and it can be used to snug up the filter without risk of damaging a filter as well ( its probably a lisle brand I have ). The drain plug hex size is 15mm and I always like using a 6 point socket if I have a choice and with this truck I've been using just a 3/8 ratchet that has a fairly long handle. Do you have a funnel that will work to pour oil in as that is definitely the short coming bastard part about the design with that fill port on the valve cover on such an angle that no normal funnel will even work. There are adapters and things on the market that will set into or screw into that fill port, I didn't want to deal with US shipping as that is all I was seeing at the time so caved and bought a Lisle brand multi vehicle fit adapter funnel kit and it really works well but there are much less expensive adapters out there that work in conjunction with an off the shelf funnel that would do the job also. Now that I have it, I like how it works and works so slick with the shape of the Amsoil 1 quart containers I have now switched over to. Whatever you do, have a funnel system of some sort as you will be swearing if you dropped the oil and then realize you have nothing to properly pour new oil in without spilling it all over the engine !.     Other comments, quite a bit of oil flows out down the filter when its cracked loose due to the housing above the filter so let it dribble down the filter until it slacks off flow and then remove the filter to create less possible mess. It seems these engines can sit for quite a while and drip and if you have time let it sit there and drip out of the engine as much as it wants. Also a good time to grease the 9 zerks on the front end, that's my typical practice anyway to grease the suspension and steering each time I change the oil. And remember to reset the oil change minder ( not something I am used to doing with older vehicles and equipment ).

      I really did not measure what came out. I carefully followed directions to check level after i did the spill and fill and filter change. I used 10 quarts. 9 was not quite enough. My trans temp was about 175 when I checked it. Truck sitting in my driveway very close to level where I always check oil pretty much every time for consistency. My driveway is just ever so slightly downhill to run water to the street.
