Tires and Shocks
 
My 2008 Silverado HD is ready for tires and shocks. The current tires are Firestone Destination A/T's and I only got 32k miles out of them.

I currently tow a Fastech 292 that weighs in on the trailer with gear at around 10k lbs.

Looking for some recommendations on tires and new shocks.

Bilstein 5100 series for shocks. What size tires?

Bridgestone dueler at revo 2 for tires, I have had three different kinds on my duramax and they are by far the best I.m.o. As for shocks I'd agree on the bilsteins I had a set of rancho rs 5000 and they didn't impress me I also have Firestone ride rite airbags which I would highly recommend

I'll third the Bilsteins--love them on my F250 and dad loves them on his F450. We are both using Toyo tires and very happy with them.

Cooper Zeon LTZ will usually get you around 50k miles and are an aggressive looking AT tire and are very quiet on the road.

Can't go with you on the at revo they are a soft tire,great in the snow and rain but i thought after a run to georga from wisconsin about the first third of the drive tires were gone? I got about 10,000 out of a set towing a 18,000# horse trailer.
The best tire I have ran for towing is the Firestone transforce ht.(second set) it's not a offroad tire but has low road noise, better fuel mileage, less wander and good wear. I have 145,000 on my 02 2500hd Duramax and all I use it for is a tow rig. It's a short box crew cab with a minor efi live tune,cold air intake and small exhaust.
I have Gabriel max control shocks on my truck now. (On the second set lifetime warranty) they have been better than the stockers and rancharos that I tried.
I also have Firestone air bags great investment!
