Recently made the transition from a 2018 Tacoma TRD Off-Road Double Cab Short Bed to a 2020 Silverado Z71 Duramax 3.0 RST Crew Cab. Just completed the lift and wheel/tire package. Here are the details and some photos. The 10mm Bora spacers are arriving today and will install those. Overall, the truck rides great. I had Nitto Ridge Grapplers on my Tacoma and currently have 33" BFG Mud Terrain's on my '00 lifted Wrangler Sahara. after about 100mi, I'm pleased with the Toyo's. Will be getting an alignment next week even though it rides pretty straight.

 

 

CUSTOM OFFSETS:

- Toyo Open Country MT LT295/60/20

- Fuel Rebel 20x10 -18mm 6x5.5 matte dark bronze

- Bora aluminum 0.375 spacers

- Setup is very similar to this

SUPERLIFT:

- 3" lift kit for '19-'20 Silverado.

 

I removed both mud flaps. There's a lot of rub up front, most all of it is against the felt wheel well liner. I will pull that back and likely end up putting the mud flaps back on. I plan to add some sort of running board/step as the truck is pretty high and the step up into it is not easy.

 

Feel free to ask any questions or let me know if I missed anything. As far as the truck, I have about 700mi on it and really enjoy driving it. The torque and effortless power from the diesel is amazing. First 50mi road trip from Boston to Cape Cod I got 31.8mpg. This is mostly flat and I was making a conscious effort to achieve good economy.

Any chance you can measure how tall the top of your truck is now?  Preferably the top of the shark fin antenna?  Want to put this lift on my truck.  Just have to make sure it fits in my work garage which is only 7' tall (I think it may be slightly less in certain spots.  Will have to double check lol).

Was just able to measure as I wasn’t with the truck. 78” give or take an inch. You should be good to go.

[mention=221136]FrankK986[/mention] How is the Superlift 3" working for you after 1 year? 

Still working just fine, no issues after 1 year. I’m driving cross country 3,500mi next week with a trailer in tow so that will be a great test.

I’ve purchased SumoSprings for the rear as it was sagging too much.

Thank you! I’ve since sold it and have a TRX on order but no issue with the auto 4wd whatsoever. The truck ride beautifully with the entire setup. I drove it 3000mi cross country and had no issues (can’t say the same with the Diesel engine, it broke down a dozen times).

Sorry to hear that man with the engine but congrats on the new TRX those are bada** trucks! If you don’t mind can you share the issues you were having with the diesel I might look into something different if they’re issues they haven’t resolved in the 22s

Hi - my issue with the Diesel appeared to be some sort of sensor that was telling the ECU my DEF was empty when it was indeed completely full. This caused the truck to go into limp mode, technically it’s like 40mph. The real issue was I was towing a 7,000lb enclosed trailer on I-40 in New Mexico at 2am and the truck essentially shut down on the highway. I could only go 10-15mph. 
 

This threw all sorts of CEL’s on the dash. There was no easy fix so I limped it to my destination which was about 700mi away. It broker down about 15 more times. When I got the truck home I had it flatbedded to the dealer. It sat for 2-3 weeks and had numerous issues - they said it was leaking oil and potentially diesel fuel. They also said a sensor was busted so even though DEF was full, the ECU was showing it empty. 
 

I had them buy the truck from me. I didn’t want to see it again. Needless to say with the vehicle shortages I made money on it. 
 

Perhaps my issue was isolated but given the real inconvenience it caused and the danger it put me in, I wouldn’t buy another diesel.

wow that’s crazy makes me wonder if maybe you had a lemon i’ve heard of people having very little issues and a lot more having none but i’ve had bad luck with chevy in the past myself similar situation lots of lights on the dash and going into limp mode dozens of times and had the dealership pick it up for a final time before getting rid of it makes me very nervous giving them another shot especially hearing what you’ve gone through…hope you are having much better luck with your new truck! if i’m spending almost 60k on a truck i expect it to last with good care thank you for all the information you’ve provided me🍻

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By KARNUT · Posted

      It wouldn’t have happened if the government hadn’t mandated outrageous fuel mileage standards. It does very little for the consumer. It adds cost. Back during Covid there was a chip shortage. They gave a rebate for your truck if it didn’t have the chip to turn on cylinder deactivation. It was 50$ because at best you may see 1/2 a mile increase per gallon. Splitting hairs each fuel mileage trick wasn’t mandated. The government doesn’t do the engineering work and say use this until it’s already in use and they like it. The fuel mileage was mandated. And those add ons the results. There’s a mandate and they are the results.

      It was never mandated.  Ever.    Automakers were incentivized to install it by getting CAFE credits to help with their vehicle fleet fuel economy scores.  They were being handed money/CAFE credits to install it.  Which is NOT a mandate.       The current admin removed the incentives that were behind them installing it.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.
