My Platinum Screw build
After 2 years, I've finally had the time to get the truck where I want it. Between schools and deployments it has been difficult but I am finally close to where I want to be at. I hope everyone enjoys this, and likes the way it turned out too.
The truck the day I got it.
A couple months after I bought it I woke up to this.
So I took the opportunity to replace them. 285/70/17 Falken Rocky Mountains wrapped around 17x8.5 Vision Warriors with 5.71" backspacing.
Pulled a buddy out of a muddy access road after he buried his Avalanche

I was no notice deployed, but while I was gone my wife, my in-laws and my parents took care of my truck. Autospring 2.5"/3" leveling kit installed by Mikeskas Auo Care in Pasadena, TX.
With the lift/level came new shoes. 35/1250/20 Federal Couragia MTs wrapped around 20x9 Ballistic Jesters with 4.5" of backspacing/-12 offset.

Then got some FoMoCo OEM tow mirrors.
Future plans include:
PTM mirrors and door handles
Remove chrome side molding
Plasti-Dip all emblems Red and Black
Line-X bed liner
I hope y'all like it so far, still more to come.

I really like what you have done with your truck! I have a question about the wheels and tires. I basically have the same level on my black platinum and really would like to go as big as I can with the tires on 20's. I had a tire shop tell me on the phone that basically 33's were as large as I could go without rubbing. My question is, were you able to do 35's because of the backspacing and offset? If so, could you maybe explain to a layman how that works? I understand the negative offset means they stick out passed the fenders. Any info would be great! What do you plan on doing next?
