I am looking for some pics of anyone's AT4/TB that has installed a level kit and kept their stock 18" tires (Goodyear Duratracs).  I am going to get the Readylift Level kit installed when it comes out in 3 weeks and wondering if I can deal with the wheel well gap till these tires wear out.  If I have to pony up, I am trying to decide between the 35/12.5/20's or go with the 35/11.5/20 to avoid having to trim.  Let me know.  Thanks!!  Here is my truck now without the level.

I did the 1.5” motofab on my stock trail boss tires. Photos are tough to tell, but to my eye (and by measurements) there is still about a 0.5” rake. The tires don’t look TOO small. Look at it this way, the front will look exactly like the back does stock.

 

When you look at your rear wheel well, does it seem to have a big gap? There’s your answer. ??

These look great guys.  So, for folks with 20s, you have 33" tires?  But the 18s are 32s?  That's what the tire specs work out to.  That's wierd.  The 33s look great. 

 

So with this combo of chevy lift plus level, it should work out pretty close to the rough country 3" kit.  It does 3" on the front and 1.5 rear.  I'm interested in adding that to my ltz max tow but wanna keep 33" stock tires.

Yup that is correct those of us with 18s and duratracs we have 32.3” and those with 20s have 33” tires. I can definitely tell the difference when I see them on the road. However with the 1.5” leveling kit. A 295/70r18 fits in with no rubbing and that’s roughly a 34.25”x12” tire depending on the brand.
Those are my future tires once the duratracs wear out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I’m doing an experiment on a vehicle I don’t have much money in. I’m going by the premise that after they last 100K miles they were no mechanical problems with assembly. Or defects with the parts. With oil changes by the minder for the first 127K miles when I acquired it. I quickly went through low mileage oil changes then settled on 5k oil changes with close to 170K miles on the vehicle currently. I did have the option to turn off the cylinder deactivation. I didn’t on this vehicle because in ECONOMY mode at least half the time. It should be a no brainer frequent oil changes are the key. The manufacturer gets away with the long oil changes with its severe service  maintenance. Just ask them what is normal.

      Hot air constantly blowing through floor vents, drivers side only?

      By baglie1 · Posted

      Even set to "recirculated", the air pushes out and is hot. I have noticed that sometime it doesn't want to switch between recirculated/vented air. Say it is set to Circulated Air and I want to switch to Vented, when I click the Vented button, it just quickly lights up/clicks and immediatly switches back to Circulated. It's done this a few times now. So maybe it is an actuator getting stuck? But then, that doesn't explain the hot air when everything is off does it?

      I wonder what the price is out at the coast, Big Sur or other out of the way locations as I bet they are charging quite a premium over the in land pumps.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Were you looking at the HD trucks on the GM website or the half tons as that makes all the difference. As far as I know there are only two options for the HD trucks and that is the standard 2 speed transfer case or the 2 speed transfer case that has the added 4 high auto feature and they put that transfer case by default into the LTZ and High Country although its optional in the LT and not sure if its available in the work trucks.    The half tons, that is where its been a total mess in my estimation for a few years now with most trucks below the top trim having the single speed transfer case as standard but with the option of having the two speed such as one would get by choosing the Z71 package, however then not being able to get the two speed transfer case with the towing package unless it was a higher trim truck AND had the 6.2 gas so one could combine the towing package gearing diffs with the two speed transfer case. Having said that if its a trail boss package then it gets the two speed transfer case but not necessarily able to get the tow package as it would depend on trim level and engine chosen. Believe me, people have bought the GM half tons assuming "of course it will have a two speed transfer case" only to find out after when they really pay attention to what they now own .... crap, there is NO low range !.    I don't believe Ford or Ram have gone that way yet with their half tons but like I say its been a few years now that GM has done this with the half tons.
