Kudos to you for sticking with small wheels/big tires combo. Looks way more aggressive than big wheels
I agree. I think bigger tires and smaller wheels look a whole lot better.
I agree. I went with the happy medium of 20s. 22s vs 17s/18s I'd take 17/18s all day tho.
I was not aware GMC had a switch pod. Like you, I have a bench, so purchased the Rough Country universal switch controller. A local stereo shop installed it w/ the power lead going to the battery just as you spoke of. I had the switch itself drilled into the lower front plastic cover, just below the USB/cigarette lighter. I works well. I also installed two, S1, 1" Baja design lights to my rear lights for reverse, added two S2, 2" lights to my back rack bottom rail. I thought of the ditch lights but couldn't justify the cost/use for that position. My CB radio antenna is attached to the BackRack, running the cable underneath the cab through the plastic grommet. Regards.
This video has been a huge help. I have the exact same truck, but I have the factory trailer brake. Thanks!
Great Vid! I have a black RST. By far the best truck I have ever owned! Stored her away from the harsh winters here in Chicago.
McGuaghy’s makes the mudflap delete kit.
Mcgaughs makes the mud flap delete and looks factory. Looks like you're upper control arms are going to interfere with the line going to your resivor on KING COILOVERS , COGNITO makes a upper control arms uni ball which has more clearence when you're at full droop. Also I think ROUGH COUNTY makes a led light bar to fit behind the grill and looks factory . Get rid of those ugly lights you have mounted.
I know this was posted 3 years ago, but given your setup and the alterations you had to make to fit the 35x12.50s, do you think with a similar lift I would be able to fit 295/60R20 on the factory wheels without rubbing? Those tires work out to roughly 34"x11.8".
I own a 2020 LT RWD. Am about to level the front w/ Eibach shock/coil & rear Eibach. My goal is a 275/65/R20, (gives 1" extra height), equivalent to a 34" tire. If I have to modify the front liners, I will now know what to do. Thank you.
Nice video. Very informative! Love the wheel/tire combo.
Thanks for the info. For a 2020 trailboss do you think I would get away with just a leveling kit to fit the same size tires?
@@Alex93_m yes you should be able to since they have the factory lift already installed 👍
Installed amber SAE squadron fogs. Good decision where I live w/ morning/evening fog.
The fogs are next on my list too!
👍👍Like your stance , would like to accomplish that on my LTZ with factory 20s
Your truck set up is awesome
Thanks, hoping to change it up a lot this year. Should be even better!
I like you set-up! and looking to do something similar. I was wondering if you feel this tire wheel combo would need or benefit from a re-gear?
I don’t think so, mine didn’t feel sluggish after the bigger tires and it doesn’t have a tall gear in the rear-end.
Switch suspension offers mud flap delete kit.
I noticed some under dash footwell lights. Can you do a video on what and how you installed those?
Looks good nice combo 👌
Truck looks awesome!
If you ever get a chance can you do a 360 video of your truck outside? Thanks!
Looks great! Have you had any running when off-roading? Thanks.
No I never did but I’m sure the front would have some rubbing at full compression
Good job my frind , i just want to ask about the kings ride quality on road, are the stiff or harsh?
Thanks! The kings are firm but in a good way, ride quality feels better than stock. The quality of the shocks are way better than factory units. Plus the large sidewall on the 35s probably helps too
Looks legit man really love the look. What king kit is this and what does kit run?
It’s the king 2.5s and they run about $1600 for fronts and $900 for rear shocks
Very nice! Do you happen to have the part numbers for this?? I want to add those rough country LED's in the grill plus these!
Updated description with all the upfitters information and lights 👍
@@donkuschel5326 you sir are the man. Thank you again!
What was the metal bracket used for behind the wheel well? Nice video bro!
It was used to hold the inner part of the mud flap and the fender liner. Thanks!
@@donkuschel5326 I saw someone say it was for front end collisions. To prevent the shell from penetrating the cab.
Was there power loss without re gearing iam getting a lot of different answers form no issue to lots of power loss. I’ll be towing a 5k camper maybe once per month
No power loss even with towing
Did you have to use wheel spacers ? I have similar set up and my wheels hit the caliper pretty good .
No I did not use any wheel spacers
I’m running 17x8.5” method nv 305’s with 0 offset and they barely clear with no spacers
Good job 👍
I love Method NV and also want 17" like yours, Method website says I need 18" NV for my 19 Silverado TB. Any idea why?
Wheel weights will hit if they aren’t put to the outside of the wheel barrel
What is a RC tire calibrator? Great video pls. do an update on those Superlift UCA. I wanna also do the same lift but I have the 3.0L duramax not sure how much adjustment the coilovers gonna need to get it level with the back. Also Not sure if I want 17" wheels I'm sure its better for Off road with more rubber. I have a standard length bed which is longer than the short bed so not sure if ill be doing much intense off roading more a daily driver but would wanna invest for those Kings suspension for ride comfort. How is the ride with these Kings coilovers better than stock on the road? 35" looks good but thinking of just installing 33"s on 20x9 wheels only because the rear only has 3:23 gears. But you say your having pretty good mph.with the 8speed. How's the power? If I do decide 35" tire maybe the 10speed will do just fine. too? Keep posting the mods you do on your truck I like how you install it looks clean & factory like. Just wish you did video on the mods you did. Anyway thanks for your time.
Rough Country is the tire calibrator. The UCAs have 20k on them now and are doing good, I just shoot a pump or 2 of fresh grease in them every 5k. I would say it should be close to the same as what my truck is with the 5.3, really wish I would have went with the 3.0 like yours though! I would stick with the setting King sends they seem to be perfect. I daily my truck 60 mile high way trips to work and it does great even with the 35s. I’ve had a couple of the older styles on 33s, and this rides just as nice on the 35s. As for the ride it’s amazing with the Kings, just the amount of firmness you want, and the bigger sidewall helps soak up some bumps. I plan on making some changes to the truck so I will try and get more into some of the other mods I did as well, thanks!
Also the 10spd will be amazing with 35s! I’m getting 20 average still with the bigger tires and the 8spd.
Do you have the vendor or part # for your aux switches for lights? Love that clean set up. Thank you
@@apr9286 yes, check out the video description. I put all the part numbers in there and some extra info
This might be a silly question? I just got my truck opened up my hood. And I had the hardest time closing it. Do Chevy hood need to be slam shut.? Hows your hood is it hard to close? Thanks
Are these kings the ext or no?
Can you adjust these King coilovers on the truck? Or do you need to remove it? Thanks
You can do small adjustments but I’d recommend taking them off. I bent the tool trying to do it on the truck
Hi Don, how did you remove the front inner fender plastic mount? I can't even see the hidden bolts that hold it. Thanks man.
I took off the lower bolts and slipped my arm from under with a long extension and swivel. It took some finesse. I’m sure it would be easier to take the bolts off the front half and pull the liner back and tuck it on top of the wheel though.
@@donkuschel5326 Hey Don, I ended up removing the front plastic brackets, notched them and relocated them an inch back by mounting the front holes to the rear holes.
@@bmxdad2001 nice, thanks for the input! I’m going to have to track mine down if I didn’t toss them and give it a try 👍
What motor does it have? Would you recommend 6” lift on a 2.7 ????
Mine has the 5.3, and lift doesn’t matter it’s all in your tire size and gearing. The 2.7 might be sluggish with a 35” tire in my opinion
How big of a wheel spacer?
I didn’t run any wheel spacers with this setup
Any ride difference with the kings? I did a 3.5 “ Fabtech lift and the ride is way harsher
The kings ride nice, the are firm but not a harsh feeling.
@@donkuschel5326 sweet. Got any good pics of the light pods? I’ve been trying to decide between the Baja designs or the KC flex era 4. I know the KC is almost twice the size
Would these fit with a 2 inch lift?
No, I think you’d have a lot of rubbing issues with only a 2” lift
I’ve got 2.5” level kit and 35x12.5 I wanna put on my stock 20x9. You think I’ll need to trim or no?
I think you will need a minor trim of the mud guards and the front liner but nothing major
@@donkuschel5326 appreciate it
Did you ever put the 35x12.50s on with the 2.5”?
Hi Don ... my 2019 silverado new style custom has 20" wheels ... my question is .... can i fit 17" wheels
Yes, they will fit. The brakes are the same, mine also came with the 20” wheels from factory too
Thanks don .. i was hoping they would ... rasing my truck 2" front and 1 1/2 "rear and going to put 295/70 17" tires . I think there like 33 1/2" tall ... whats your opinion. You think they will fit?
@@rickc3151 they they will fit no problem with your lift plans
Thanks for all your help Don
En cuanto te salió todo
Is it a trailboss? I may have missed that.
No it is not, RST model
@@donkuschel5326 cool so only 3" level basically in front. And do you put kings in back too?
What lift did you use in the front?
King 2.5 coilovers are what I used, but any 3” front lift will clear 35s on these trucks 👍
Nice, how much those run you for?
I bought mine directly from King and the fronts are $1,600. They ride great though
What kind are this wheels and model
Method NVs 17x8.5 +0
Looks like gm built it u just change a few things
Does the front cv axle bind with the 3 in lift and no front diff drop?
No they do not. For the last 2 weeks I’ve been in 4high daily driving and no issues
@@donkuschel5326 ok right on thanks for the reply..do you plan on doing dever springs?
Tires gotta rub at full turn
No sir, no rubbing with the modifications at full lock either way
What’s the mpg ?
It didn’t change much, lost 1mpg with the tire size. I average 19-20mpg in the good weather months. The 8spd transmission really helped compared to my older 1500s with bigger tires.
If you're worried about mpg you shouldn't be driving a truck.. Smiles per gallon my dude.
@@itsmemaaaark actually want to get into overlanding and chevy put a small ass tank on the fucking trail boss! 24 liters!
@@rashad-tm4zm haha I drive a chevy as well but with a 26 gal tank. I did buy a 4.5 gallon fuelpax to mount to my bed for longer trips just in case. I also wish Chevy put a much larger fuel cell. At least 30+ gal
@@itsmemaaaark dunno
WTF the engineers were thinking! My suburban had 42 gal wallet killer! I guess they just decided to switch the numbers around!
