Professor Smack-Down |
Picked up a 2017 All Terrain last month - made some changes. I went with Fuel Assault wheels and 275/60R20 Nitto Grappler G2 tires - quite quiet and smooth. I dropped in an 18" Magnaflow SI/DI with black tips. No drone to speak of, but sounds just right on start up and when you step into it a bit. I evened the rake out to just + 3/4" at the rear by installing drop shackles. Lastly, the Bose system sounds great, but I like a little more low end. I had a fiberglass box made inside the storage on the passenger side - the side I will never use. It adds the right amount of low end and is nice and clean, no mods or drilling, and out of view. Anyway - pics below. ---------------------------- Tony Guns in my collection: Awaiting next purchase | ||

The Grapplers are awesome. I have them on my Suburban and love them. HUGE improvement over the factory rubber. | |||

Wow, that is an aggressive hombre! Did you keep the factory tires? I'm looking for a set of 245/70R17 108T | |||

I LOVE that color on the new GM trucks. Congrats man. | |||

Go ahead punk, make my day |
Is it safe to assume it will never see off road? | |||

Get on the fifty! |
Love the color. Have to ask though, why lower the rear rather than level the front? You're going the wrong way "Pickin' stones and pullin' teats is a hard way to make a living. But, sure as God's got sandals, it beats fightin' dudes with treasure trails." "We've been tricked, we've been backstabbed, and we've been quite possibly, bamboozled." | |||

I sold the rims and tires. I was surprised at the premium people will pay. I was only about 200 bucks off from paying for the new rims. ---------------------------- Tony Guns in my collection: Awaiting next purchase | |||

Never? I would not say that, but you would be safe in assuming 95% of the time will be on nothing more than paved. I do like to go off the beaten path on occasion, which is why I wanted true AT tires. ---------------------------- Tony Guns in my collection: Awaiting next purchase | |||

Dropping the rear is an easier process - and less expensive. Raising the front tends to put components at a bit of a angle - then you have warranty concerns. Lastly, I would then needed to go 34 or 35 inch tires to fill out the space! RINOWSO is mostly correct - this is mainly street. If I lived in an area or owned land that had more true off-road opportunities I might have done a 3 inch lift with bigger tires. This set up will be fine for mild conditions. It does have the Z71 package too, which means skid plats and such. ---------------------------- Tony Guns in my collection: Awaiting next purchase | |||

Woke up today.. Great day! |
Looks beautiful. I like the wheels/tires too. I got my blue 2500HD Denali a few weeks ago. Loving it so far. I went with the Kicker sub/amp in the same location. It definitely made the sound better by a significant amount. In car handsfree phone audio quality is 1000X better than my 2011. | |||

You folks in Texas do some weird shit to your trucks. Looks pretty. | |||
|
Professor Smack-Down |
Ha. I can see that. I've never sat on one, but can certainly see why you would call it that. ---------------------------- Tony Guns in my collection: Awaiting next purchase | |||

You're making me want a new 1/2 ton. Definitely like the color, but I still prefer the old Indigo Blue Metallic paint from 01-03. Kinda curious what you think of the new Silvy/Sierra as a daily? Wish they still offered a manual transmission too. A Perpetual Disappointment... | |||

It seems to be popular down there. There's another one in the background. I like the color too. | |||

Leveling kits are known to EAT ball joints on late model GM trucks. You've got me tempted to drop the back of my 08 a smidge. It sure would make crawling into the bed with my short legs easier. Do the lowering shackles effect load carrying capacity any? | |||
