Just wondering.... Can you send me the specifics on your wheels? I want to change the ones on my truck but I don't want wheels that "hang out" of the wheel well. Do you know if they are any special offset or anything like that?

 

Thanks,

Stephen

Why are your tires clean in every pic?  Find a mudhole and jump on it!  :nono:

That's what I was wondering!! Cool setup :cheers:

Well, the trail was dry, and I just got the truck out there after I had it washed. Also naturally I took the pictures before I got started doing hardcore wheeling.

Perhaps next time I go there will be more mud out there.

P.S. in Texas we don't get much rain. :rolleyes:

Absolutely, I'll send you that info

 

I have Weld Racing's 16x10 (StoneChrusher 51)

Bolt pattern 6x5.5 B.C.

-22mm Offset

4.625" Back Space

Weld's part # 51-610628, app. retail value $298 each.

 

They stick out about an inch past the fender flairs.

 

Weld also makes the same size rime with 5.75 Offset, which makes them stick out evan further, but I would not recommend these at all.

I love the Procomp suspension kit, but if I had to do it all over again I would go with the Skyjackers kit. I had my truck raised about a year before the Skyjacker came out with their kit for my body style truck.

 

Also keep in mind that even though the Procomp's kit states that it is a 6" - it only rises the truck 4".

I was disappointed after I got my truck back from 4 Wheel Parts out here in Texas. I specifically asked them for a 6"lift, and after I measured it was only 4" taller.

But this can be fixed; I got the additional 2" by placing 5.5-inch rear blocks and cranking the front torsion bars to maximum. I complained to the manager of Four Wheel Parts store and they made this adjustment for free. They also did realignment again, also free.

The store manager told me that my truck's handling would be a little stiffer, than normal. But I like the way it rides now much better.

 

As far as the width of the rims, I gad some minor rub at full turns. I trimmed the inter fenders a little and it rides fine now.

 

I am going snap some picture of the area I had to trim down, and I’ll have it posted shortly.

 

Also, I had 16x8 A/R rims with the same tires (35x12 BFG’s) and it did not rub at all anywhere.

How is that possible? Did you get the 5" Spindle lift or something. The 6" PC lift is suppose to be a FULL 6", just like Superlift W/O the bars cranked. :fume::thumbs:

 

But, besides that you like the kit, and have had no problems? What are your Fender measurements? 44-45" up front? (same in the back?)

      2001 GMC Sierra - Banging feeling in steering wheel

      By txab · Posted

      Without knowing how bad your banging is, one suggestion is the intermediate steering shaft on the steering wheel. These used to be a problem on 800 and earlier series. The feeling/sound was sometimes described as "clunking" and was felt in the wheel. Also there is a plastic piece in the lower column that is referred to as a bearing. Not your traditional looking bearing though. Your ball joints, bushings and tie rods or steering rack (if equipped) are the main point of issues. You never mention total unit miles, only that you've put 60k on it.   You can search the site for help on the ISS description. Plenty of these have been replaced   https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=site%3Agm-trucks.com+intermediate+steering+shaft&ia=web

      Yes I have is set with the 1mm disk (Minumim Tension), for spring spacing and I raised my truck in the rear 1.5". You can go 2mm  and I think 3mm if you need.Minimum. We are on our way to TN from GA.. My wife is driving and stated she cannot believe  and   stated she can not belive the difference.

      Most 1 ton trucks come with the factory overload spring, which need to be removed for installation of RoadActive Suspension. Removing the overload allows proper fitment and ensures the system works as intended. The RAS® Mega-Duty kit will reduce squat and provide significant improvement vs the factory overload spring.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      I wonder as well, why they would send me a text message with links to these suggested procedures totalling over $10,000 without even the slightest hint of how they arrived at these being necessary.

      OCI, not when but why?

      https://precisionlubrication.com/articles/oil-filter-efficiency/     For them it is a problem of $$$$ and compliance. To cover both they have to lie from the heart.    Government wants low waste oil numbers so the bar needs to be very low on contamination to met that requirement.  Consumer wants cheap maintenance (perceived cost). Again requiring a low bar.  OEM wants high margins at a cost effective warranty rate and lots of repeat customers. More low bar.  Filter manufacture wants the same thing the OEM wants. See the pattern?   Consumers are fickle and also want perfection requiring a HIGH bar. Inconsistent with all of the above. Consumers can be, when the put their minds to it, inquisitive, love winning arguments which requires some useful information to be available to support them. And this is where it gets sticky and the lies begin.    Information needs a solid well grounded point of reference if we are to compare in a useful way. There is a standard for this.  ISO 4548-12. This standard sets the particle size at a specific Beta ratio and darn few are faithful to its intent.    If they don't state the test method they change the particle size or the Beta ratio to hit a perceived favorable standard. They obscure the information in a way as to prevent direct comparisons leaving the consumer with one method. UOA's with an ISO 4406 test result. Pricey and not allot of labs willing to do the work. Lobby work happens everywhere, not just at the seat of government.
