GTPSS Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Traded my 03 TB in for this thing. 2003 Silverado 1500 HD 4x4 LOADED-except moonroof 112k miles (TB had 160k) LQ4 6.0L Bought this trailer my SS since the TB obviously couldn't handle 7k lbs. The pic below is totally untouched right after getting home from the stealership. A few appearance mods are planned with a couple performance down the line. -tint -black out chrome -bed coating -new front visors -LSx car coils and NGK plugs w/ TBSS plug wires (DONE-had the crap sitting around) -FULL detail and paint restore http://i478.photobucket.com/albums/rr145/jjh4296/truck.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwashmycar Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Is THAT the OE tire size?? http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a299/iwashmycar/forum/bigmamoru.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTPSS Posted August 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Is THAT the OE tire size?? Yup I wish it wasnt HD. It would have some 20s on it from a TBSS. Now Rims/tires are going to wait for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattKatz Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 No it wouldn't, if it's a 6 lug now, It's still the wrong bolt pattern for the TBSS Rims. 6x5 on TBSS and 6x5.5" on 6 lug Chevy trucks like sometime in the 90's and up.

MattKatz Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 I sure hope that pulls your SS. My 1500 laughed at me when I tried to pull mine. Mines a 2008 5.3 for reference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Researched it first. Most are towing 6-7k lbs(a few upwards of 15k lbs) with the 6.0 just fine. Its capacity is like 10200, but I think that would be tough. It does 5k fine, tested that for a few miles before I bought it. Honestly the TB would pull the SS, but it felt like a boat anchor back there. No it wouldn't, if it's a 6 lug now, It's still the wrong bolt pattern for the TBSS Rims. 6x5 on TBSS and 6x5.5" on 6 lug Chevy trucks like sometime in the 90's and up. Glad its an 8-lug then. I would've been pissed-lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwashmycar Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 True. Those are badass rims IMO. Always liked them. Sure the tires look puny, but for towing / street they're probably great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren't to bad for driving. I need to find something to not make them look so small. One of my buddies wants to buy them, so he's helping me look for 20s/22s.

iwashmycar Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 All you need is a set of tires then. No dubs necessary. Maybe a leveling kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hahn Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 Seems like a great trade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
