  1. Thank you. I do not have any rubbing at all. I did trim a small corner where the front bumper and valiance meet on the front. It was really close and I was nervous it may catch. I think, at least with this tire, the +18 might be as far as I'd push it. It's possible a +12 would work, but I'm guessing a 0 offset would be too much. I see in your profile that you have a 1500, just wanted to be sure you know this is a 2500.
  2. We were in the market for a 2015 or 2016, but with these known issues and no clear fix, topped with rust issues on a well kept 2011 that the dealer and apparently GM didn't care to stand behind, we decided to try something else. We had paint issues on our 2005, 2007, and 2011. On the last one they fixed the two spots just above the rear tires, but they returned in the same places about 11 months later. They strung me along until I had enough and sold it. We are enjoying a trouble free Audi.
  3. I used torsion bar keys and shock extenders - same as I've done on my last few trucks with no issues at all. I only use keys if there is not enough adjustment on the oem keys and on this truck there was not. I don't crank them all the way up to hit the bump stops. This truck is still about an inch lower in the front. I have to trim the very inside 1.5" of my molded mud flap and where the bumper and valance bolt together, there is a corner/tab that stuck out and would have hit when the wheel was turned and suspension compressed. I trimmed that corner off. There is way more room on the 2015+ trucks than there was in the past, at least on the 2500's.

    Thank you. I have leveled the last three or four of my trucks by cranking the torsion bars, if there was enough bolt adjustment and adding shock extenders. The last two, I used offset keys because there was not much adjustment left on the bolts with the stock keys. Never had any issues. I use this kit: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-3-Front-Lift-Kit-2011-2015-Silverado-2500-HD-4WD-8-Lug-w-Shock-Extenders-PRO-/151984582707?hash=item2362fcb033:g:4aQAAOSwYlJW3UvW&vxp=mtr I don't crank them way up, just enough to get rid of the super raked look. This one is about an inch lower in the front still. My stock wheels are the 20's. I run them just in the winter and use these in the summer. I had these from my last truck (2011), but with 33's on them. There is way more room in the wheel wells of the 2015+ trucks, so I took a gamble and went with the 35's. I knew 35's would be okay on stock wheels, but had not found too many that were running them on aftermarket with less offset. I'm happy to answer any questions you have.
