Any idea on if spacers will void the factory warranty?  I need to put probably a 1.5 in spacer in to use my fuel maverick tires. I plan on using my factory tires as winter tires and when I put them back on in the fall I may take out the spacer. Just use it for my summer tires.

I don't believe it is no, but I did not try anything else I just went right for the 1.5

little late to respond but was any trimming necessary? assuming you stuck with stock tires

I just put on 2” spacers from RC. Loving the new stance. Until this whole pandemic subsides, this is in lieu of new rims and tires. Before and after pics

Trimming was needed yes and no I went with bigger than stock (not much)..... I think you can click on my name and go to my profile to see the pictures I have posted. I made a post and loaded some pictures to another thread on this forum.

Hey Taz, I tried searching for the pictures you were talking about and couldn't seem to find them. How much did you have to trim and exactly what did you trim? 

Are you on stock AT4 wheels and tires?

 

I was looking to do a reverse level and drop the rear 1.5 inches using a shackle drop to level out the Elevation, run the 1.5 inch wheel spacers on the stock wheels until I decided If I want a lift/bigger wheels. But if you had to trim to avoid the rubbing, and you are in an AT4 which stock is higher than an Elevation, I might have to look at a front level instead to clear the wheel spacers? Any thoughts?

Just left dealer with 21k on my CTB, they snugged my 2" custom billet spacers for free. Have pulled over 8k in a 14k tandem axle dump trailer multiple times.

Keep an eye out for the side wall on those atturos. I ran that same size for a while on some stock 22x9" wheels on my previous truck and had issues with the sidewalls on 2 different sets. The tread life is great on those tires and once balanced they drove fine just the side walls started splitting after about a year of use and I tried air pressures from 32-38psi. Truck was a 2013 AWD Denali with a level lift in front. I did have the alignment checked after the level too. But also I never rotated the tires since tread wear was pretty dang even across all 4

My wheels are not stock no. My truck came with 265/65R18, I put on 275/60R20's

Put 2" Rough Country Spacers and MGR caliper covers on today. Heres a few before and after. 

Some people seem leery of these because they are not hubcecebtric. But, the gm hub has a big ring that fits on the inside, so I dont think it's a an issue.  Torqued everything to 140 and just took it out on freeway at 80mph. Smooth as can be  it could be my imagination,  but it feels a little less floaty on highway as well. 

Mgr caliper covers, I don't feel are worth the 170 price tag. Front fits well, back is a little shaky. And they are like 3mm thick.  But they went on anyways.

    • Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?
    • I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions. 
    • I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that. 
    • Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
