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!

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By newdude · Posted

      Based on what I can tell, yes.   As for updating it, its a mixed bag.  Updates do fix a lot of issues, but occasionally can create some oddities.  They do more good than harm though overall.     Here's what the most current one does and a  V171 Improvements Important: Improvements will vary by model, build configuration, system, and sales region. Not all vehicles have all features. OnStar and Wi-Fi may not work after remote start CarPlay may not automatically reconnect Part of the Driver Attention messaging screen may be in English even though the language is set to something else XM may not work After a dead 12V the radio may set to Arabic at each startup Bluetooth contacts might not be able to sync with the vehicle During an OTA the 12V battery may drain Customer might see a screen telling them to return to the dealer After changing the Wi-Fi SSID or password a device may not disconnect If a device is connected on the 2.4Ghz band, nothing will connect to the 5Ghz one, which could show as slow Wi-Fi speeds Customers might have noticed Wi-Fi dropping in certain areas and reconnecting later Customer might see the top of the screen blinking during Android Auto Android Auto may not connect CarPlay audio might momentarily cut out The "Add Phone" button may be grayed out The radio may not start up   V167 Most Notable Improvements:   Outside Air Temperature is incorrect. -You may see a popup message for Engine Shift. (Corvette Only) After changing the exhaust sound they get a popup that "mode change not applied", even though it was. -When changing volume, the volume bar is for Traffic instead of Audio. -(Corvette Only) Improvements to the placement of buttons and text. -If the customer receives the message "Apple CarPlay Could not connect", the cursor might move in the opposite direction than expected when using the control knob. -Android Auto automatically starts playing their music, even though they have turned that off in settings. -Intermittently they have a red OnStar LED with no OnStar function and/or no audio. -The minimum length of the Wi-Fi password was increased to 12 characters. -The popup message "Driver Attention Check, check your mirrors or Super Cruise will shut down" may not have come up on the display when it should have. -Startup animation added for 20th anniversary of the V-Series on Cadillacs. -The Navigation app received location improvements when going under long underpasses. -In the Navigation app there are filters for charging points that the vehicle cannot use.   V164 Most Notable Improvements Most notable improvements contained in this release may include: Apps Intermittently, an “SD Card Removed” message will pop up in the Navigation app. While in the audio app, the radio may stop working. Trailer Tire Pressure sensors may not be learned in the Trailer app. Not being able to return to the home screen while in the Camera app. After an ignition cycle, the radio might go to a black screen or stop working if using Sirius XM. Spotify icon truncated on Audio app.   SXM When changing power modes with the ignition switch, the HVAC pop up might appear. During startup, the radio will show the brand splash screen then go blank. Receiving a confirmation pop-up when changing drive modes. A “Return to Dealer” message may appear on the radio screen. SuperCruise setting toggle may not work. System After an ignition cycle, the radio might go black or stop working if using Sirius XM (SXM). Settings When performing a factory reset, the radio may stop working. After performing a factory reset, the radio may stop working when trying to switch users. When trying to go into the Language section quickly after startup, the radio may stop working. Projection Wireless CarPlay cannot be connected after unpairing another wireless Android Auto device. When the Android Auto screen comes up to connect wirelessly, the screen may freeze if the Cancel button is pressed. Removed the Apple CarPlay Cannot Connect screen when a device fails to pair during the autoconnect process. CarPlay information may not show up in the audio app. Near Field Communications (NFC) chime may be heard when NFC does not work. The Cannot Connect screen does not pop up after the first connection on wireless CarPlay fails. Apple CarPlay is now functional in Guam. Over the Air (OTA) When a software update is cancelled, the downloading logo may still be displayed. Energy When using the Energy app, the radio may stop working. When plugging in the vehicle, the display might show “Now” instead of “Charging Upon Plug In.” Instrument Cluster Voice recognition can be started while on an OnStar or phone call. When downloading contacts, there is a progress bar and circles on the Recents page of the cluster. The temperature on the cluster and the display may be different. After receiving and ending a call on the secondary paired phone, the cluster may get stuck on the phone menu. Bluetooth Intermittent Bluetooth connection loss.

      Front End Rattle

      By AndrewF · Posted

      Looking for help troubleshooting a metallic like front end rattle. Figured I’d see if anyone had thoughts before I schedule an appointment with the dealer.   The rattle is fairly loud and occurs primarily when the front driver side wheel hits a bump, even fairly minor road seams. Sometimes does it when the passenger hits a bump but I don’t believe when the rear hits. Rattle still occurs when foot is pressing brake peddle so I think that rules out the caliper rattle I’ve read about. I’ve also checked the running boards and they are tight.   Most noticeable at slow speeds.    Any insight is appreciated.

      We try to make cruise the coast. It’s where our favorite casino is. I only want to spectate. Never took a car. Always had one to take. I belonged to a club once. Even when I used to drag raced. It was during test and tune. Probably because I’m not a night owl, party person.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Good looking Olds, and TRX!   I haven't been into car shows either. I'm probably not a convert but I did push myself this year to attend a few select events to challenge some assumptions and try to experience car-based social clubs in a different way. I joined up with the local Hagerty group for some cars/coffee events, group drives. A month ago I showed my '94 Camaro I rescued last fall at Radwood. Had a good time, but, there was some sitting around with the car and that's the part of shows I don't enjoy as much. I prefer to be a spectator, walk the show, grab a burger, go home.   Radwood was the only era-limited event, but where it had strict model year limitations, it made it up in variety. Having Jason Camissa there was also a hoot.   Where I see old 50's car shows, doo-wop and winga dinga music stuff fading out, same with "only" vintage muscle clubs, it seems to be the activity-based clubs/events which are gaining strong popularity. Places where all cars and interests come together.
