Hey guys, new member here.  I have been scanning the forums for a while and decided it was time to go ahead and sign up.

 

I am looking to upgrade from the stock tires, I have put right at 30,000 miles on them.  I work in construction management and I am on gravel a majority of the time and the occasional dirt.  With that being said, I have always been partial to the BFG All-Terrains (with the white walls!) and am leaning towards that tire.  I also see a lot of Nitto and Toyo tires around the Nashville/Middle TN area.

 

Also, I do plan on going with a leveling kit or maybe a 2" lift.  (Nothing higher than 2.5" though) - Should I do both of these at once?  Pick the tire I like and confirm it will fit with the lift I choose?  Can I just do tires first now and maybe do the lift more closer to summer time?  

 

I figured with all of the covid-19 crap going on right now that I could possibly get a hell of a deal on a set of tires.

 

Thanks in advance...

Cant go wrong with BGF KO2's.

I'd do leveling kit and tires at the same time. That way you can do a 32-33" tire with no rub.

I went with a 2" RC Front Level and 285/55R20 BFG KO2's.  Have about 23,000 miles on this set up and still like it.

I'm on stock 18s running 265/65 Nitto Terra Grapler G2. This is a new version of the terra grappler. Also on each side of the tire, the edge of the tread, I guess the shoulder of it, has a different design. One side is the lightning bolt from the older terra grappler. The other side is almost hammer like?? If you look that tire up, you can see the design. Also on and off road this tire has performed well. Not to loud. I loved the tread design as well, does great in the rain.

Falken Wildpeak AT3W is a great tire in all conditions. Avoid Cooper AT3’s if you drive in snow. BFG’s are great but overpriced. 
 

You have the 20 inch wheels so go with 275/60-20. They look better.

anyone run toyo open country's?  

 

 

I run Toyo's, Im running the Open County MT's right now. For an all-terrain tire the AT II is a great tire, I ran them on my 2013 Sierra.

They were great in all conditions rain, snow, and mud. They are quiet for an AT tire and have a nice aggressive sidewall if you get the XL rated sizes. I ran the 295/55/20.

I'm running the Toyo MT on my 2018 just because I love the look of them, and they are probably the quietest MT's on the market.

It's not a daily driver for me so I don't do a lot of mileage. If your doing more highway mileage, I would recommend the AT II's.

      Lower trims ( WT, Custom, Silverado ( aka LT )

      By newdude · Posted

      HD at the moment, are kinda their own deal.  How LTZ sells on those vs on 1500, there is a difference.   They are merging most of the mid trims on 1500.  LT, RST and LTZ are replaced by one trim, Silverado.  LT and RST are a BIG portion of sales.    Bad naming choice aside, the new Silverado trim will offer the spread of options that those three trims offered.  So expect to see things like the tech package for example, and memory seats.  And LT Trail Boss will now just be "Trail Boss" (formerly LT Trail Boss) but will offer content spread like the new Silverado trim will.  The press photos showed the Trail Boss (formerly LT Trail Boss) has access to Super Cruise now, which on the current truck was High Country only.       Here is the Trail Boss interior.  Memory seats and Super Cruise are present.  All things the LT Trail Boss it replaces, and the RST it was based on didn't get on the current gen.  You had to go to LTZ or ZR2 for memory seats, and High Country for Super Cruise.

      2021 vs 2026 handling (1500 X31 Sierra)

      By dennismc · Posted

      I installed a Hellwig rear sway bar on my 21 Sierra SLT, it made a huge difference on how the truck handles, no body roll, the trucks much more planted now. Not sure of the suspension differences between the 21 and 26,  if its body roll your having a sway bar will solve it.

      frustrating P0446 code

      By Old Bay · Posted

      So a follow up and my fix. I found in online searches the live data to look at on a scan tool to verify the fuel tank pressure sensor was working.  It showed an spec number towards the lower end of the rang, but in spec.  Then while it was running opened the gas cap and the pressure should change.  It didn't change even a tiny bit.  The data for the purge valve said it was open...never changed. So then I measured the voltages on the plug for the fuel pressure sensor and they matched what it should be.  So local car quest parts had the sensor in stock...it was a bit of a pain to remove and an even bigger one to get it to actually go back in.  It helped to unbolt the driveshaft and bungie cord away from the gas tank to give a bit more room to work. So fuel tank pressure sensor in I cleared the code, and started it up.  I went to the scan tool's live data and... Eureka! The pressure number was different and fluctuated a bit.  So took it on a short drive and pressure number varied saw the purge valve go from closed to open and back to closed.  Drove it to and from work for roughly a week plugged in the scan tool no codes.  I took it in to get tested and passed.  In my state's infinite wisdom (oops meant greed), since I pushed the test with the maximum extensions I have to take it back in by Feb '27 to 'get it back up to date', then my next test won't be until Feb '29.

      loose lug nuts

      By newdude · Posted

      Any grease on the stud threads of any kind?   Wheel studs should have NOTHING on them for proper torquing and so the nuts don't back off.     Are all of the mating surfaces clean?  So wheel, rotor and hub?     We've had plenty of trucks at work with that wheel, this is a first to me.  Makes me think they've got a lube tech putting anti-seize on all the wheel studs or some kind of grease, and they need to stop doing that.  To have 11 other trucks with the same exact problem.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By Flynlow · Posted

      I was a Chevy guy for years, then switched to GMC because I liked the looks better.  I'm actually thinking I like the Chevy looks better than GMC for the first time in a lot of years.   One thing I know for certain, the new GMC dash is hideous!  Chevy wins this one!
