I recently bought a 2017 crew cab Silverado real tree edition. Coming from a ram rebel and love the looks of the trailboss. What level kit or lift kit would get me the desired look/ground clearance of the trail boss. Currently running 275/55/r20 tires on my Silverado and would like to go to 285/55/20 with all terrain tires on it

On my 2017 I went with 275/60/20 BFG KO2's and a 1/2 inch level and while looks are very subjective gives it the perfect stance.  I also trimmed the lower air dam in the front which gave it the appearance of being at bit higher and couple more inches of front-end ground clearance.  The GM performance exhaust helps finish it off with just the look and sound I was set on.  I'll try to find some decent pics to post.

Want to give it a more offroad/hunting look like the trail boss. Deciding if just the 2.25 level kit while give me the desired look or if I need to go with a lift but then run the risk of having to park outside as it probably won’t fit in the garage then. Lol

I have the 2.25 level and the truck is perfectly flat, if you haul anything over like 100lbs you get a bit of squat. I'm going to add a leaf or do a deaver mini leaf pack to combat this

A 2” to 2.5” leveling kit should give you the look you’re after. The Traill Boss is lifted 2” over a regular 4x4 truck. I have the Eibach Pro Truck kit on my truck. The new shocks and springs raised it 2.5” in the front. I like a little rake on my trucks (1”-1.5”), so I swapped the stock rear blocks for 2” blocks. My 285/65/18 tires are basically the same height and width of a 285/55/20.

      Actually, it probably was the brakes.  It's weird the way the messages came across, but I took it to the dealer thinking that something was wrong with the sensor and in fact, the rear brakes were shot.  What I don't understand is why the messages never said, your brake pads are low.  First I got the message I posted above, taking about new pads being detected.  Then I got a message saying that the system needed repaired.  It never said, change your brake pads.

      Lets Talk Z60 Suspension

      Did the KYBs keep it the same height in the front? I was concerned that pre-assembled assembly would raise it up an inch to standard non-z60 height.. I guess which it would make the rake 1 inch instead of 2 inches.

      Thank you for keeping the train on the tracks and for a thoughtful engagement. I enjoyed the reflection on a previous stance to refine and improve your position. I like that inquisitive flexibility about you Atlas.    No the process isn't sterile. Hundreds, perhaps thousands of miles of piping, vessels, pumps. Chevron, the people I worked for, were keenly aware that there is a market for what is known as their "ISOCLEAN" line of lubricants. These are lubricants that are the same as those sold bulk that are further processed by filtration to a level your particular application demands. They will filter and package and provide lab documentation as required. Do not kid yourself. Every gallon of oil that goes into a Chevron Turbine, reciprocating compressor, generator is prefiltered and tested before being charged. Lest wise it was when I was there in the plants I worked in.    There are requirements set by manufactures for the cleanliness of the oils used in their equipment. OTR such as CUMMINS has standards shared with customers on this. Commercial interest selling to Ma and Pa do, but don't share that information. Not even upon request but internally, they do exist.    The GM study sited, (Graph from Machinery Lubrication in previous post) only shows "relative" importance.  I find that fascinating. By constructing the graph like this they admit there are dozens of factors in engine life and via scientific method determined the effect of 'relative cleanliness' on engine life not in miles but in 'FACTORS'. This allows a certain amount of reverse engineering does it not?   They even provided some touchstones. Beta 75 as a reference point. Wonderful stuff!!   Smaller blenders CAN and some DO take the time and effort to do better than a refinery or large bulk blender, like Warren Oil, in improving the "in the can" cleanliness. No I don't have a list but testing could generate that information.    Again, but one of several levers we can pull to improve engine life. The simplest is keeping a clean work station while doing your own oil changes.
