Building the Dream: Lifted Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD on 26x12 wheels and 37” tires

welcome back guys um today is Wednesday September the 25th. I believe the reason I’m telling you what the day is is because we have a huge storm coming in that hurricane. I don’t even want to say the name of it CU. I know I’m not going to pronounce it right, but the hurricane that’s hitting the Gulf Coast right now is going to tear Georgia up too, and you know we’re right south of Atlanta, so we’re definitely going to get some uh some bad weather and I have a Customer here I’m about to show you a truck that we’re about to start lifting he drove all the way from Maryland, which is 15 hours away 14 hours away. Some crazy number like that and he’s going to be here for the storm, so uh they’re they’re, calling all the schools off right now for tomorrow, which is Thursday and for Friday.

So this is going to be a pretty big Direct Hit for us. We’Re not used to getting uh there’s your truck, we’re not used to getting uh. You know hurricane weather up here’re we’re pretty far from the coast, but this one they’re saying is a direct hit and it’s going to tear up Florida – and you know be through here in the next couple of days, causing tornadoes and high winds, and things like that. So we’re going to get this one done for him. Hopefully we can get it done tomorrow and he can get out of town before the major part of the storm hits.
But if not he’s going to be here with us, uh check out the truck. Tell me what you think this is the what the sky is looking like right now, the storm hasn’t full come to us yet, but it’s coming uh. This is the spot where I do all the uh drone shots and things like that around the shop. If you guys ever wondered where it’s where it’s at, but 2024 Chevy uh 2500, this looks like the custom trim package uh. I think it is that, because the Chrome in the front end has the Z71 Badges and I am uh pretty.

This is a gas truck 6.6 gas gas. Now 6.6 diesel is the Duramax, but they usually say Duramax on there. So I’m assuming that this is the gas engine.
The truck looks awesome, though we’re going to do a 7in Rough Country, lift kit, uh 37in Fury MT Tires and some 26x 12 axe Nemesis Wheels in black and M wow. How about that there’s the storm coming right. Now we go ahead and get this truck pulled in the interior of this truck’s. Pretty nice too. Look at these LEDs he’s gotten done on here.

This is cool in a Chevy. You have to put your seat belt on to shift in a GMC. You don’t random: oh it’s hting hard, too  oh, guys welcome back to the channel. I say morning: it’s uh!
It’S like 3:00 in the afternoon, but we had our uh. We had our big. You know Storm come through last night hurricane. I think it’s Helen or Helen. Whatever they’re saying it was.

It came through Florida last night in south Georgia and it was supposed to be really really bad where we were or where we are now. So I wasn’t sure if this truck was going to be finished today, uh we’ve got the truck done. The customer is from Maryland and he’s going to go back home tonight and I wanted to go over the truck with you, but I also wanted to say uh. You know. I hope that everybody in the Florida Panhandle and everybody that got affected by the storm is doing.
Okay. I know there’s been a whole bunch of damage and a whole bunch of flooding, and we were very fortunate, so the truck today is a 2024 Chevy 2500. This is a Z71 package, it does have the gas 6.6 engine in it with the Allison Transmission. Today we did a.

We did. A 7-in Rough Country lift on it with some uh accessories, I’m about to go over everything with you, so here’s our truck absolutely gorgeous. This is a uh really cool, build to me, because once again we do uh. We do a lot of big, expensive things to these trucks, and sometimes you know there are other ways to do this without spinning an arm in a leg and still put you in the game and look good. So today, I’ll show you the uh Rough Country, 7in kit, very, very nice kit.
Everything you need is in the kit uh, what’s good about the rough country is the price point and the uh company that backs it. They have a great warranty. They have great customer service if you ever have an issue with their parts. Rough country is quick to help. This kit does lift the truck 7 in that is the max height on this kit.

It does not have any uh additional upgrades like face plates or traction bars, or anything like that. Actually, I think they do have traction bars, but they’re not like uh, Chrome, accented, traction bars or anything. So it’s a good quality kit, but it’s kind of basic. Looking. That’S why uh we do push the MGO a little bit more because there’s more customization available but, like I said, get you in the game, the truck is nice and Tall.
It drives amazing. All the angles. Look great I’ll show you, the uh CV, axle angle on this kit. Very very nice could be. Uh could be a lot worse than that for this price he went ahead and did the Kryptonite ultimate steering upgrade and the Kryptonite upper control arms right here steering upgrade puts these really really tight tie rods on it.

And yes, if you are watching and these tie rods are loose, they are loose, the truck has not been aligned, yet I’m just trying to get the video done today. So I’m going to go ahead and film it now. So if you see it yes they’re loose – and I know that the uh upper control arms are very, very sharp from Kryptonite. They come with this uh. This nice ball joint from Kryptonite as well with all the grease fittings you need on it too.
He did do the upgraded uh Rough Country, shocks right here, pretty nice shock uh. We did also the infinite off-road Rock lights and the infinite off-road wheel lights. Now those are the 12 WT Rock lights, not the 24, the 24, the big ones. These are the 18-in quadro wheel lights, they do all the colors RGB, but I have these set at White today. Let me know what you think about this truck in the comments.

I know you’re glad to see a Chevrolet this time versus a GMC, because, let’s be honest, everything on my channel the GMC lately, it seems like I really like this truck. We did the uh always good, looking Fury Mt. This is a 37350 26 on the tire and then the wheel is the axe Nemesis in the black and M finish. This is a 26x 12 still put you in the game with a 26, but it doesn’t stick so far out of the fender that it’s, you know easy to hit it on things and it’s not slinging as much stuff up on the side of the truck. You know I’m a fan of the wide wheels, though so I, like the 14 16 wide wheels a little bit better, but this looks nice to me too.
If you have any questions, you know my number 678. 994. 9180, I’m at Southern Tire in mcdonal Georgia, and thanks for watching  well uh. Yesterday we did a uh GMC Ukon that I was planning on filming originally, and I just I never got time to film it. So I don’t have any footage of the uh install process, but I wanted to tell you about this truck a little bit.

I kind of like it honestly. You know I’m in the SUVs more than trucks personally, so this one’s kind of kind of sharp for me. So I’m going to go over the details with you on it. This is a 2024 GMC con XL. This is the Denali ultimate.

You can tell on the front end um the Vader Chrome. Here it looks black in the rain, but the Vader Chrome is an awesome. Addition to it, we did uh about a 2 and 1/2 in lift on it. The way that we lift these trucks, they’re air rides, so we just put new adjusting rods in there on the ride height sensor and it ends up lifting it up. Quite a bit.

You’D be surprised, but this is a 35 in Nitto Recon Grappler on a 24in vson. It’S this is the HF 6-4 wheeel in gloss black super super nice concave wheel. It has uh the perfect offset to set it right under the fender, where it doesn’t stick out and cause a bunch of rubbing issues, and things like that looks really really nice. On the truck to me, the main thing that I was impressed with on this one is the uh, the interior of it being the Denali ultimate. You know it has to have a nice interior, but it has more than the trucks do so you’re used to the seats, the Denali ultimate stamp they’re on the seat with a brown leather has the big screen in the center here for your uh information center entertainment Center but then it has the Bose speakers in the headrest that is insane to me.
This one also has the full front and back sunroof. I guess you would call it moon roof whatever you want to call it. That’S not something that’s offered in the sieras, so I thought that was pretty nice that they put that in the Yukon. Overall, I give it a uh 10 out of 10. I love the way.

This thing looks on the inside nice, wood, grain and stuff, like that. So if you have a Ukon or a Tahoe or an Escalade, that you want to still drive every day and not lift it up crazy high, this is a pretty good setup for you. How much room is inside this? You could take your whole family on a road trip with this truck third row, all the way back back’s, even that brown leather color. This is amazing.

Maybe one day I can upgrade uh next truck, for you is going to be a 2024 Chevy Silverado. 1500. That’S a very bright blue color on this one we’re doing a 6in Rough Country, lift some uh 35 in Fury tires and I think some 22in uh. Maybe some fuel wheels so check this one out. So I I absolutely love this blue truck uh, the color of it.

Not a lot of people know this, but I drove a Silverado about this color for years and years straight out of high school, and it really is bringing back some memories. I’M pretty sure he’s doing the coilover Rough Country kit with this one, which is uh pretty awesome. I haven’t filmed this uh coilover kit very much on the channel, so it ought to be pretty nice to see I’m kind of interested on how the truck’s going to drive. After I heard it rides a little stiffer

looks like I’M going to get cut short on our silver Auto build, so I’m not going to get a chance to do any of the Cinematic shots like I normally do uh this one is getting picked up right now and I wanted to go over it one. Last time we did the 35in fury RT tires with the 22 by10 fuel brawl in the two-piece um wheel.

It’S a chrome chrome center with a black outer looks amazing. The uh Rough Country 6inch lift with the vertex coilovers very, very nice setup from Rough Country very affordable. Let me know what you think in the comments. Overall, the presentation of the truck looks great, it’s good daily driver and we did not have to cut anything on this truck for fitment. There’S the factory mud, flap and the bottom of the front.

Bumper nothing had to be trimmed. So if you want a good daily setup – and you don’t want to cut up your truck 6in Rough Country on 35 and 22 by 10, thanks for watching
