  1. They look great on your truck. Definitely the amount of rubber between rim and road that I am use to having. Not sure that would like right on my "pretty" truck. But again, looks good. Big Whiskey, I will have to go and check this tire thing out at a local shop. And thanks with the help. I added my signature, just need to add my truck photo. Thanks again. Those look great. Do you think you needed to add the 2" level to make them fit?? Did you do the lift THEN the tires, or did you do them at the same time? Did you notice a change in your ride with the new tires and the lift? Thanks

Big Whiskey, 2012 Silverado 1500 Z71 - Graystone Metallic - Z71 Appearance Package 5.3 - 6 speed - 3:42 - G80 - GMPP Borla Sport - Range V8 Zone Offroad 2" Lift - Moto Metal 951 - LT275/65/18C Cooper AT3 5% Window Tint - GM Bedliner & Wheelhouse Liners - Plasti-Dipped Bowties and Badges How did you add this to your profile?

  3. Big Whiskey, if that is true about the 18" wheel not feeling any better then the 20" then that will save me money. But will a 275/60/20 fit my stock truck without needing any mods? I understand the .5" won't do much, but perhaps with the .5" and a better tire it just may do enough. Thanks!
  4. So are you suggesting I change out my wheels to 18" and put on larger tires? I wonder how that would look? Has anyone done this? I really like my wheels. Do they make an 18" version of them? Thanks
  5. Ok, I have decided not to add a level kit. My goal is to just make my ride better on rough roads. The fix would be to go to 18" wheels, but I don't think they will look good on this truck. Perhaps just new tires when the time comes.
  6. Perhaps I will just leave things alone then. I like the ride of my truck. I think the real fix would be to put 18" wheels on and get more rubber between the road that way. But then the truck won't look as nice. Perhaps it is just the tires. I feel all the bumps and it makes me crazy. Thanks Guys!
  7. Guys, I really like the Michelin LTX/MS2 275/65/20 tires. BUT I don't want to do the body lift. I am ok with a front level, but again, I don't want to raise the rear. So, with just a level what is the biggest tire I can go without having to cut anything. My goal is to get more rubber between rim and road. Truck is a 14 Sierra Denali 1500 Thanks,
  8. OK, I really like the stock height of my truck. Do not want to change it. BUT, I would like to get more rubber between my rims and the road. So, with just a leveling kit, no raising the rear, what kit would that be? Thanks!
  9. I have the 2" rear block also and 2.5 up front, and the 285/65/20 NEEDS more lift. Thanks, I will let my buddy know. What is the next size down that will fit?
  10. Actually that question is for my friends 2014 All Terrain. He has the 2.5 level kit with 2" block for the rear. That size tire, if they could fit, would look great on his truck. My truck is a Denali and I want to go to the 275/65/20 for a better ride. Not that there is much difference in the look of the two, I just don't want to go too tall.
  11. This looks really good. For my truck I am thinking of adding the RC 2" level with the 1.5" body lift and adding the Michelin LTX M/S2 LT275/65/20. I am short so I don't want to raise the truck too much. And I really want to soften my ride. I feel everything now. What do you guys think, will this do the trick?
  12. Does anyone know if the BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 285/65/20 will fit on the stock all terrain rim? And will that setup work with the RC 2.5" lift/level kit? Thanks
  13. Thanks Spurshot. I think I recall reading that you did the 2" level kit and added the Michelins. If I am correct, do you really think that improved the ride that much? As I stated, I am not really looking to make the truck taller, I just want more rubber between the rim and road. I want that for two reasons, first and foremost, the ride, I want a softer ride. I feel too much road. Second is curbs, want to get the rims away from curbs. But again the ride is my biggest concern. Thanks and I like your dog. I am planning on selling my tonneau and putting on a cap. I want to get a lab and this truck is just too nice to put the dog in so I want a cap for it. Thinking of getting a LEER xq.
  14. Guys, Hello, I am new here. I have read a lot of the posts regarding the RC 2" leveling kits. I have '14 Denali 1500 without any suspension mods yet. I really like the truck but I am not thrilled with the ride on my rough streets. Definitely due to the 20" rims. Would love to put more rubber between the wheel and the road. Don't really want to add a lift since I am short and I do use the bed of my truck. Was thinking of adding the RC 2" leveling kit. Not sure what that will allow me to get as far a tires. Really like the Michelin LTX/MS2 tires. Had them on my last truck and they performed nicely. However, they don't offer a 275/65/20. And I am not sure a 275/60/20 will give me what I am looking for. Also, not sure the 2" leveling kit will allow me to get those tires anyway. If I added the RC 2.5" with the lift, that should allow me to go to bigger tires. But that I think will put me too high. If I did the 2.5" with the lift, I would love to go to a 280/65/20, do they even make that size? So my question is this, can I get the 275/65/20 to fit if I do the RC 2" level kit? If not, what do you suggest? Thanks, Jim
