I know it's off topic but that's a really good picture. That truck looks really good with the grass and everything reflecting off it. Good job keeping it clean. I have the same color and I swear it rains every time I wash it. Literally washed it last Friday, went inside to shower, got out of the shower, and it was pouring. That's a really clean looking truck!

Hey Stormtrouper, are those the OEM Bushwackers, had mine installed last night, just looking at the spacing ?  Are those the factory wheels ?     I'm concerned the spacers are going to shake the shit out of the truck.. do you do much highway ?   Thanks !

Yes oem, flares and wheels. I have pulled many things with these and no issues. No driving over 65mph for my commute though.

I have a 19’ trail boss .  Put really nice 2” spacers on at a local tire shop.  Never had any shaking / just rode smooth.  I have 6”

lift / 35’s.  With in two weeks my front drivers side wheels studs two broke and three more the threads stripped off.  I had to replace 5 wheel studs .  Glad I found out before my wheel fell off . 

 

Maybe it was the tire shop messed up when then installed them but odd thing is I saw thread markings inside the spacers where the studs go through .  Not sure if the spacers caused it or the tire shop.

 

just glad It didn’t end worse then it did.  I’ll not take the chance again with spacers .

Put the suspension max level kit on stock 2019 sierra denali and then added american trucks 1.25” and full lock rubbed left right forward and backward and sounded crazy if i was taking a turn at speed even without full lock. Americantrucks.com said it fit the 2019 sierra denali. They said they test fit everything. Not on my truck. Either stupid or careless or lying and i spent time and money shipping, waiting, installing and uninstalling to find out they dont fit. American trucks customer service said they’d take care of me with a return. Wow, so generous of you. Thank you so much for giving me a return. Lucky me. Get it together americantrucks.com and Alex Balancinas.

Be careful with spacers .  Had some on my 19’ Silverado .  2 weeks later I was replacing 5/6 wheel studs on my drivers front wheel.

From what? People add spacers all the time, so what happened to cause yours to cause issues?

Is this leveled?  I have the 20s as well and want basically this same look.  Not many TBs with the 20s out there so this is one I can copy.  Spacers definitely give it a better stance, nice truck!

Looking to add spacers since the wheels rub slightly on caliper. It looks like 1.5”will need studs grinded and I dint want to do that so going 2”. Will also have fender flares installed. Just don’t want tires to stick out too much. Thoughts??

On factory hubs, 1.5" is the minimum for not having to grind studs, unless you go down to .375" and under, which are strictly hub centric, and use the factory studs.

 

1.25" will also work on factory Trial Boss wheels, without stud grinding, because of the pockets behind the wheels.

 

So basically you'll have to grind down the factory studs for widths > .375" or < 1.5".  Unless your using factory TB wheels, which then it's < 1.25".

 

These are all specs/info. for BORA spacers as well that I've been able to find on the forum.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.

      Actual Full Screen CarPlay on Refreshed Silverado/Sierras.

      By Greg3160 · Posted

      Im in the same boat. Carlink adapter comes tomorrow and dev account is in process. Would you he able to send the new instructions my way also? Question, do you have to change code and republish app everytime developer updates? Thanks for your assistance, truly the only thing i cant stand about my truck is the carplay limitation

      Weight limit in bed

      By rav3 · Posted

      And Google AI says......... Yes, your truck can technically handle it, but you will be right at or near its maximum limit. A 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 High Country with a 6.5-foot bed has a maximum payload capacity of approximately 1,770 pounds.Weight RealitiesLoad weight: Half a cord of dry hardwood weighs roughly 1,100 to 1,500 pounds depending on the wood type (like oak or hickory).Payload limit: Payload includes the weight of the wood, you, any passengers, and a full tank of gas.The math: If you weigh 200 pounds and have a full tank of gas, a 1,500-pound load of wood puts you right at that 1,770-pound ceiling.Safety TipsCheck the yellow and white sticker on your driver-side door jamb for your truck's exact payload number, as high-end luxury trims with extra features have slightly lower capacities than basic trucks.Expect the rear end to sag noticeably.Drive carefully, avoid sudden turns or stops, and keep speeds low if you have to travel a distance.
