I have seen a couple posts saying that Bora 1" wheel spacers will work with the stock 20" snowflake wheels without trimming studs. Can anyone chime in to confirm? I do plan to take tires off and measure pockets.

 

Background: 2016 Sierra SLT 4x4. I had a slight rub on UCA on the 100% stock setup. Installed 1.5" motofab (under strut) level and the rub has gotten worse. Yesterday the drivers side balance weight was hitting the uca and sliding around. I like the way the truck looks as is, that is why I am looking into the 1" spacers. Just want to get rid of the rub with minimal impact to look (and avoid cutting studs). Will need to replace the stock LS2 tires soon. Current plan is to stick to stock size in Cooper ATS 4s. If the spacers eliminate rub and would allow to step up to the 33" version of this tiure, I may consider it, ut would be happy to stay with stock size. 

 

Any pics of 1"-1.5" spacers on stock snowflakes would be appreciated.

You had rubbing issues with zero modifications? That doesn't sound right... Am I understanding that correctly? Factory wheels and tire size?

Yes. Full lock rubbed UCA 100% stock. Drivers side enough to expose shiny metal on uca, passenger not as bad. Most likely due to angle and bump getting onto driveway. 

Now, with the level it will rub at full lock with no additional load on tire (turning around flat ground, etc).

 

Stock 20" wheels, and stock 275/55/20 ls2 tires

Guess I will need to also see if the spare wheel has the pockets to allow the stud to protrude past the spacer. Either that or move up to 1.75" or remove spacer to install spare...........

This sounds like your alignment would be way off or you have something loose up front.

I'm running BORA 1" spacers with the snowflake wheels and LT285/60R20 Cooper Discoverer AT3 tires. I have the Boss Halo Lift coilovers at 2" and a Zone 1.5" body lift. The wheels will work without trimming the studs.

I have a rub when cranked all the way in reverse but it's only the liner.

I'm also running Cognito UCAs and there is no contact with them.

When you lift the front with a spacer, you are bringing the wheel inward which is the problem you described.

Rub on drivers side stock.
This was taken just prior to adding level. Alignment completed post level. b214f55bc28223fe382e090a1b11823c.jpg

I can also confirm the 1" spacer works with the 18" split 5 spoke OEM wheel.  I had that for a little while.

Thanks everybody. Ended up ordering 28mm (1.1") Bora spacers. 

Should be in in a few weeks and give me a few weeks to run with my worn out stock tires before making the decision to stay 275/55/20 or bump up to 275/60/20 all terrains.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By No1UKnow · Posted

      Hello All!   My 2019 Colorado 3.6 LT, 4WD Crew Cab has approximately 77,500 miles and I recently began experiencing the well-known transmission shudder between about 30 and 65 mph. The problem had worsened to the point that I could no longer attribute it to road conditions - and I had decided to bring the truck to the dealer - when recently, I experienced a sudden loss of power while driving at maybe 40 MPH. Several warning lights flashed, the “Check Stabilitrack” message appeared, and the Check Engine, Stabilitrack, and Traction Control icons remained illuminated. The truck regained driving power, but it stayed in a low gear with unusually high RPMs for the speed. (limp mode?) Because I was only about two miles from home, driving slowly, I was able to make it back and run an OBD-II scan, which showed fault codes U0101, P0700, and U0100. My next trip in the truck was to drive it to the dealer the following day. That trip began normally, but after about a mile I experienced another loss of power, along with the same warning lights and the same “Check Stabilitrack” message. As before the truck remained driveable, but again operated at an abnormally high RPM-to-speed ratio and seemed stuck in a single gear. About a mile later, the dashboard lit up once more, this time displaying “Check 4WD.” Soon after that, I arrived at the dealer. I have verified that the truck still has its original factory transmission fluid, which means it has never received the corrective fluid exchange outlined in GM Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355.  That was Thursday of last week and I've heard nothing yet from the dealer.    According to Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355 and the build date of my truck, my truck should have the newer LV fluid. I've done a little research and read something about a problem with the wiring harness as well.   Anyone have an insights into this situation?  Thank you!!

      Gas Prices

      By PhilB · Posted

      Did you even read this article?   Even the title of the article says "U.S.-Iran Deal Doesn’t Mean a Swift Return of Oil and Gas Flows"   Remember, crude oil prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the oil companies.  Gas prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the station.  This article stated that many of the oil producing nations have to restart their processes to get the oil produced.  Then the oil has to be shipped to wherever.  And it doesn't get there overnight.  And most of that oil is not coming here. Check out this site:  https://afdc.energy.gov/data/10621   A graph will pop up to show where the US imports their oil from.  Notice that there isn't a lot of import from OPEC and Iraq.  Most of the US import comes from Canada. The US oil produces are selling their oil on the open market, which is why the US fuel costs went up.  So you're correct, the US oil companies are going to slow walk the price downward.
