Well...I think I'm gonna do a levelling kit with 35" tires (315/70/17)...can you guys foresee any major issues, I know I'm gonna have to do a bit of trimming, but it should all fit right?

 

 

I don't see it happening.

I installed a fabtech 2" leveling kit on my 2007 NBS Silverado. Put on Moto Metal 955 17x9 with 285/70-17 and had to trim the back side of the front wheel wells quite a bit. The tires would have been fine, but the 9" rim was too wide for NO trimming. I don't have pictures yet, but i'll post some soon. I'm SOOOOO glad i got this done!! :D

Well here is leveling and 275/60-20 which is 33x11.5 they measure out to 32.5 on the truck..they did rub a little when turned and backing up...mostly on the mudflap, but also on the inner fender liner on the pass. side.

So how come these dont rub with bigger tires and same lift, but the 275/50/20's rubbed?

 

Is that truck a 4x4?

JB, the tires on the hoe rubbed big time...with alittle finese and some tying back of the inner fender liner they no longer rub at all...was actually easier than I had first thought after first mounting them...as far as the Silvy rubbing the 275's...that is bone stock no trim no nothing...if I do it up like the hoe it will have zero issues as well.

I just got my ccm leveling kit put on yesterday and my guy seemed to think I could put 305/55/20 on my truck. I have 20x9 wheels also and the same lift as you. 8100HD how bad was the rub? I mean was it just when you turned or was it all the time? That tahoe looks really good btw!

      07 yukon xl 6.2 stalls at hot idle and wont restart

      Holy s**t - not much of a parts thrower you say? You BLASTED that thing with the parts cannon!  You'd have been probably $1,000 ahead if you had just brought it to a competent shop rather than shotgunning a bunch of parts it clearly didn't need.   Just FYI - oil additives are really, REALLY good at ONE thing ... and that's emptying your wallet. They're ALL useless gimmicks.   If that has the L94 or L99, then #7 is an AFM cylinder. I'd suspect a failed lifter in that case.   If you leaned on wiring, sensors, and/or connectors while changing the oil, you'll have to check all that to be sure pins didn't get pulled out, connectors broken, etc.. Old wire loom that was barely adequate when new is certainly brittle by year 19 - make sure wires aren't chaffed and shorting out somewhere where you might have leaned. or supported yourself on it.   If your a mechanic, why didn't you just find out what you were missing and troubleshoot from there??  TIMED spark, fuel PSI / injector pulse, air, compression.  Can't make ANY money going the parts cannon route.

      LOL! Are you joking?? That wax SUCKS! 100% gimmick made to "look" good.    After just TWO winters I had severe surface rusting in patches over 90% of the frame. Only reason it looks great in the pics is because I SATURATED the frame every single fall with used motor oil for 14 of the 16 years I owned it. Otherwise it would've been sent to the crusher 8 years earlier with the speed it was rusting prior!    I sold that POS 3 years ago. Was a gigantic headache the second it rolled off the showroom floor. Brakes pulsated on the TEST DRIVE. Door trim fell off the 1st week! Interior squeaked and rattled, and the drivetrain clunked after 2k miles. 4x4 switch failed shortly after. Front end - ball joints, struts, hub bearings - all failed between 38k-50k. Engine started burning oil at 50k. Rear and and transmission failed before 100k. Nothing but problems, and frustration with the piss-poor engineering designed to make you give up. Well, it worked! Nothing on that truck was easy to remove ... except the wheels. They haven't figured out how to screw that up yet. Give 'em time ...   I won't make that mistake again. EVER.   Such fond memories ... https://postimg.cc/K1qf23tS  https://postimg.cc/gallery/X02z64J  https://postimg.cc/gallery/mHSRXZv  https://postimg.cc/gallery/D4mMRfL

      OBD not ready?

      By davester · Posted

      Different monitors do their test only under conditions specific to that monitor.  you MIGHT find the drive cycle conditions for the monitor that isn't ready on this site: https://lemon-manuals.la/   If it's not there, then it should be on alldata.com for your truck, but it requires a paid subscription.   And you need to know which specific monitor isn't ready.

      from another thread   Update...although the truck sometimes seems to idle weird and the transmission shift a little weird, I've driven about 7,000  miles and no issues.   However, the way GM has handled my rental reimbursement, the situation when my truck quit, and the recall in general has led me to this point...I have driven a GM vehicle for the past 46 years and unless I buy a C3 Corvette, this is the last GM vehicle I will ever own.
