thegr8cody Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 I have an 01 Silverado I bought it with 20's. they're wrapped in 265/50/20's and it almost feels like the shock are welded shut in the back. if I hit a bump pretty fast there's not any travel it seems like. I'm probably exaggerating on that but its a really rough ride. I'm debating on taking the 20's off and going to stockers for a better ride. I kind of want to try new shocks first though. the tires are in good shape and have good air pressure. 1998 gmc sierra h/u:eclipse cd3200 sub:dd9518g d1.5 amp:jl e300/4 sub amp:dd m2a front stage:id ctx65cs dc power 270 alt lots of kicker 1/0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pickup1 Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 Have you lowered it at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwolf2 Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 Less sidewall, less air cushion and tire flex. Simple as that, could be fixed by bigger tires or smaller rims.... Or lower your air pressure a bit. No need to run at the Max load psi (although your mileage will drop a bit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolaudio Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 I had a '05 GMC 2wd Crew, same problem. I had 275/55 20's on it and it was still rough. Tried shocks and those really didn't help either. IMO those year models ride rough with 20's. The stock 17's were better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audioholic Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 The thinner the tire the harsher the ride, its as simple as that. I just took my 22's of my max this past weekend wow the ride is soo much nicer, gas mileage is better, and performance has increased dramaticly. Im thinking of parting withe 22's at this point. When your vehicle is designed from the factory your OEM tires are taken into consideration as part of the suspension setup.I would recommended going up to a few size tires that will fit properly in your wheel well. It looks like you have plenty of space good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToNasty Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 i went from a 275/55/20 to a 245/70/17 to now a 265/65/18 less sidewall is a worse ride ***Super Sellers List***http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/25829-super-sellers-buyers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt14 Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 what is your tire pressure set at? I know you said good, but what is it? When I went from my stock 265/70/16s to a 22" wheel with 305/40/22 ( lowered 3/5 ), the ride actually felt better. Even my wife said it when she went for a ride the first time i did it as well as my boy who commuted with me every day. 2006 GMC YukonPioneer HU SHCA ran throughout Crescendo BC3500 One 18 AA Mayhem in a 4th order ZED Levithian 6 channel Rainbow Dual 6.5 comps ran Activehttp://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/155628-matt14s-yukon-mayhem-in-a-4th-ordernew-amps-and-bats/page-3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
