a 295/55r20 is not 12.5 wide, its actually 11.6. and a 285 is 11.2. that's based on converting numbers but ya I think its just the added height that makes the difference. Its not that much and I really have to lock it when in reverse to make it rub. I would have thought the 285 would clear no problems based on people running wider tires and no rub, but I guess not. I think the .25 spacer should take care of it though.

"normal operating condition"... mines been that way since day 1. you just have to get use to the chevy clunk. roast those tires!

What's the lift on this, looks perfect

Finally got some tires on. 285\60r20 duratracs. I didn't think they would rub but they do on the sway bar at full lock. Going to put on .25 spacers to see if it helps. Lift is 2.5 rc in front and 1.75 block in back. I'm thinking about going back to the stock block and putting on a 1.5 body lift but I can't decide

its not just you, a lot of people have the problem but only true truck guys will care about it. I put a hose clamp on it to hold it open. didnt even bother to bring it up with the dealer. waste of time in my opinion.

thanks! no where close to completion but its a start. waiting to wear out the factory tires (275/55r20) and then putting on toyo AT's 295/55R20

thanks, if its not too dark after work i will get a pic

I had the RC 3.5 kit installed for a little while but didnt like the ride quality and it caused some steering issues. So i took it out of the front, but left the back block in. I thought it was 1.75" over stock but cant remember for sure. It does give the truck a nice little rake though. planning on putting in a zone 1.5 body lift to get it where i want.

Did some experimenting with plasti dip. the white matches pretty good but once up close its slightly different. I want to paint my bumpers and some chrome stuff so this is just to get an idea of what i want, i think it looks awesome. pretty close to what the custom sports look like, just different grill inserts.

Looks really good. I like the 1" of rake you have, dont see that too often. I set mine with 1" rake also, doesnt make it look nose heavy and when you tow or haul somehting it goes level.

yes, you will need to remove the white plastic piece in order move the cam bolt. this will move the upper control arm in or out to adjust camber. be careful not wrench too hard, the pressed in pin that it rides along can come loose very easily. i already had to weld mine back in place.

I assume youre talking about the rough country 5" lifts? I have thought about this too. you would think they would at least make the knuckle lift slightly cheaper since its a lot less parts, but they are the same exact price. the major difference (if youw want to call it major) is that the knuckle lift will push your front track width out. to some people its very annoying (including me), but others dont care. If you read through the instructions they are a lot different as well. the bracket lift seems a little more involved and requires more cutting/modifying stock parts it seems.
