Hey guys, just took delivery of a 2020 crew cab AT4 with the 6.2 absolutely love the truck! I have seen a lot of mixed reviews on which leveling kits and tires to go with so I was hoping you guys could help me out. From just looking at the truck the way it sits it appears a 2" level would be just about perfect to correc the factory "rake". I do not want to go with a much bigger tire than the stock ones but i do want something a little more aggressive and bigger, what size do you guys recommend? I like the factory wheels but I may go with an aftermarket wheel I am still undecided. Have there been any issues with the cv angles, ball joints or aftermarket tires rubbing on the UCA? Appreciate any and all feedback you guys can provide. Thank you!

Our trucks are very similar except I have the painted flares with 18" wheels and Duratrac tires. I recently ordered a 1.75" front leveling kit from zone offroad but haven't had a chance to install it yet. Your wheels look great!

I went with the Ready Lift 1.75” level with UCA and Fuel 20x9 wheels. Have been happy with that decision considering some the ball joint failures showing up from those who leveled without an UCA on TB/ AT4

Looks great. What size tires did you go with? Any rubbing? No problems so far with ball joints or cv axles?

Try a seach - lots of threads on this - I went with RL 2" SST kit which comes with UCA's - Method 18" x 9" - 0 offset wheel - stayed with stock 275/65/18 duratecs for now.  With 0 offset wheel I might get 285's or 295's on there - anything wider would rub on UCA.  CV angles are more than I would like, but seems to work fine.  Ride is same as stock.  Only downside is RL recomends you do not use auto 4wd - as the engaging at speed puts too much torque on cv axels and can cause damage to front diff.  Your get 2" from factory and 2" from level - so 4" of lift in front - CV's really should have drop bracket for front diff for anyting over 2.5" - so this set up is outside OEM specs and if you have issue, you will not get warranty if you go in with level on truck at many dealers. 

 

You can buy the SST kit for AT4/TB at Tire Rack for $510 - cheapest place you will find it - figure 4-5 hours for install, then alignment - so $1,000 +/- all in for level kit installed by 3rd party.

For a nice level at reasonable price it is a good way to go, but you do lose auto 4wd - if you want to keep that you need to go with full lift like BDS that offers drop brackets for front diff and much better shocks - but you pay for that.  Photo of truck, of cv axel angels at rest - wheels straight and clearance of tire to UCA.

275/60/20 (33”) No issues 10K later. Could fit a wider tire but with these I can turn full lock to lock even with suspension compression.

Truck looks awesome man! Looks like it sits perfectly level. I will have to look into that 2" SST kit, I like the fact it comes with the UCA. My stock tires are 275/60/20 what is your opinion on 295/60/20 (keep stocks wheels) after the kit in installed? All in all looks like its about a 1" bigger tire and 3/4" wider. I am thinking that shouldnt cause any rubbing but dont want to make the mistake.

Got the ready lift 1.75” front. Fuel 20x9 1 offset. Dealer had 285/60/20 on and it rubbed quite a bit on the inside fender so ended up going back to 275/60/20. I do have mudflats on so lost 1/4” or so of clearance. Looking close where it rubbed you could trim some of the wheel well out to make it work.

That looks awesome man, love the look ! Thank so much for all the details. Wheels look like they stick out father than I would have thought for +1. Just roughly how much do you figure they stick out?

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
