Tires
and Wheels for the Chevy Silverado
We started with a set of V-Tec 326 Off-Road Wheels featuring a 6 spoke design with a Ultra Bright Chrome finish that's easy to clean.
The V-TEC brand of custom wheels includes the ultra bright custom chrome as well as a new line of off road wheel styles specifically built for today's truck and SUV's. Many other finishes are available including the popular Phantom Black finish.
Chevy Silverado 1500 Suspension Lifts
and Leveling Kits
- We chose the new leveling kit from ReadyLift for our 2011 Chevy Silverado. This leveling kit is the most cost-effective and time-efficient way to bring the front of your Silverado up level with the back by lifting the front 2.25 inches. Measurements confirmed that the kit did indeed lift the front by the rated amount.
- Read about our installation and results from installing the ReadyLift Leveling Kit.
Air
Lift Air Springs Adjustable Load Support.
Now wee needed a way to compensate for hauling heavy loads or pulling a trailer with our Chevy after lifting the front just a bit higher then the rear. As will all our trucks, we now are ready to install the Air Lift Suspension Bags to take total control of every load we carry.
Air Lift Air Springs Adjustable Load Support keeps our headlights pointing on the road and not in the eyes of oncoming traffic.

Cooper Discoverer A/T3 Tires in LT285/70/17E.
For
a daily driver, high traction tires like the Cooper
Discoverer SST is just not necessary. A good all-season/all-terrain tire
like the Cooper Discoverer ST
Maxx or the Cooper Discoverer
A/T3 offers some important advantages over the SST when the vast majority
of the driving will be on paved roads. Seeing that we will be driving the Silverado
to Alaska, we have opted for a set of Cooper
Discoverer A/T3 in LT285/70/17E to
handle the duties of lots of loose gravel, a little mud and hard-packed crushed
rock and the possibility of snow and ice in the higher elevations of Northern
B.C. and the Yukon.
The folks at Dave's Automotive in Cheney, WA have fitted us with a set of these tires in preparation of the trip over the renowned Alaska Highway.
Cooper
STMAXX Tires in LT285/70/17E.
Looking for a little more traction or that aggressive look for your Silverado? The Cooper STMAXX may just be the tire for you. This new tire sports an appeal to off road enthusiasts that want to tackle the sharp rocks, dig in the gooey mud or challenge the snows while exploring for a new hunting spot in the deep desolate outdoors.
The Cooper Discoverer S/TMAXX features Cooper's proven and reliable 3-ply “Armor-Tek3®” carcass construction combined with a new, proprietary cut and chip resistant tread compound. This is the tire for those looking for sure footed traction both on and off the road making it a viable alternative for our 2011 Silverado test truck.
Studdable tires are popular choices for winter driving and the Discoverer S/TMAXX are ready for the winter with plenty of pins to make this tire even a better choice for mud, snow and icy driving conditions.
Cooper
Discoverer Radial STT Tires in LT285/70/17D
All the above changes have facilitated the need for a larger, more aggressive yet street drivable tire. After many hours of research and discussions with retailers and owners we have come down to the Cooper Discoverer AT3 or the Cooper Discoverer STT Tires in LT285/70/17. Either of these tires should fill the wheel wells and still offer decent gas mileage from the new 3.73 gearing.
Matching Truck Canopy and Tonneau Covers.
- Our custom Range Rider Cruiser series truck canopy has been painted a matching Imperial Blue Metallic by Dave's Automotive in Cheney.
- With the new matching paint completed, the custom Chevy canopy is fitted to our Silverado and secured for the trip. Now everything will be safe and dry under the cab high Range Rider Cruiser canopy. A perfect color match in a two part urethane paint makes this canopy look factory installed.
