New here, Just saying hello to everyone.

[Nrphlly]

Just bought an LTZ 2012, to haul with. Will hopefully be a contributor. Have been driving these rigs for a few years and have fell in love with them. First few are my suburbans that I’ve built and sold.

this is the new rig hopefully she is as tough as she looks here.

Looks like you went up a model from your old pics. Your 12 looks great, especially with those rims. Love those wheels! Welcome from NJ. Post up some more pics when you get a chance.

Hello and Welcome

Welcome to the Forum from NH.

Lots of knowledgeable folks here who freely share their knowledge, experiences, and perspectives. Knowledge is power.

I hope that you will become a participating member in the Forum's discussions.

Welcome to the forum From Oregon. More pics of the new ride please, inside and out.


We recommend that you put all your rig(s) info in your signature so we all don’t have to guess at year, make, model, engine size, trans, rear axle locker…….etc. While you may have posted pertinent info in your first post, you may forget to do it again and the info is needed by us anyway. Makes it way easier on all members that attempt to help, to have that info right up front. It is also recommended that you take a pic of your RPO codes, on the inside cover of the glove box, and post that image in your signature. All this info will greatly help those that will try to help with a problem.


If there is any other info, like upgrades, mods or recent mechanical/maintenance work done, that would be helpful in any post as well. Too many times a question is asked by the poster and after about 10 responses we find out that the poster has done recent work to attempt to fix the problem or work that was done that SEEMS not related to the problem.

Thnkyou everyone.

I have updated the signature. I am from NC, Greensboro Raleigh area.

I bought the 2wd but I know I need a 4wd lol. Such is life. Most likely got the usual repairs coming up.

Looking forward to modding. Escalade taillights are number 1 lol

Thankyou Tony, I loved the wheels too. Hopefully they hold up with a trailer.

Welcome! I'm a little east of you in Wilmington. Lots of good people and knowledge/help here.

Welcome from Oregon. What does a trailer have to do with whether your wheels hold up? That one confuses me.

Welcome from Oregon. What does a trailer have to do with whether your wheels hold up? That one confuses me.

I’ve never towed with 22s or this suspension before, the Tongue weight from my 20Ft 70ch trailer will make this thing wear out it’s shocks prematurely if they aren’t heavy duty enough. I’ll upgrade in short order.

The 22 in wheels will rebound differently than a set of 20s, (which I’ve already cracked a rear one). And these are all factory Chevy wheel setups.

Because, let’s face it, I bought this to move that trailer and haul tools lol.

Oh ok, gotcha. Less sidewall means less protection when hitting potholes and such. So yes, the tires will rebound different ( not necessarily the wheels) and you’ll basically have less protection due to sidewall but maybe you can up the tire rating and run higher pressure when towing so you negate the effect of less sidewall.

 

[CaptainAmerica1]

That’s why I have 18s...

 

[Nrphlly]

Let me check the tire rating and see if that’s possible. 18s have been the absolute best by far. Thinking I’ll stay that size in the 2015 model.
