I have a '19 Custom Trail Boss.  What about some 35's on my stock 18" wheels with a leveling kit?  Did I miss that?  I like my stock black aluminum 18's  Anyone??  Thanks!!

Just got my 2021 Trail Boss. Done extensive research through this forum specifically and I appreciate all the help. I was still very hesitant but I had my tire store put 35x12.50R20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers on my truck before I leveled it. On flat ground, there is ZERO rubbing. It can be done, but I am still going to level for the looks.

Yes this fits 100%. I drove the truck 7000 miles like this.

i had a GMC Elevation......i used an AT4/trail boss bilstein 5100 kit with an eibach pro lift spring.....basically you can combine this spring with any of the struts that are same diameter as stock.....it adds 1 more inch to the lift

 

at std height for that kit with the eibach spring i was right at 3 inches in the front......it may just gain someone a lil extra they need or want.....FWIW

 

was 3in fr and 2in rr....

BFG 35X12.5ko2s no rub clear control arm by about 1/2"

Mud flap bracket removed

Bilstein 5100s rear and front set at stock height

I have bilstein 5100s installed all around and set the front to max height but I don't have a trail boss just a ltz so I figured mine set at max height should give me pretty close to trail boss height. I was gonna run 305/70r18 but can't decide because I can't tell if that's gonna be to big so I was gonna go with 295/70r18 just to be safe I also am getting fuel rebels 18×9 +1 off set and 5 inch back space. I was just worried about clearing the ucas. I can do the trim mud flap and remove the bracket if I half to but do you think I will rub the ucas?

    • I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps. 
    • Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.
    • 10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O. 
    • Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.    
    • apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
