Love that grill and headlights! Looks BadAss...

Just tried it and Worked like a charm. Thank you for the info!!! Greatly appreciated.

Both look great! How hard was it to locate your switch there? And how did you remove the power outlet, what's the process of getting that bad boy out of there without breaking anything?

Thanks!! Only rubbing I have is at full lock cranking on the wheel in reverse only on drivers side. Back edge of tire just barely rubs fender liner. Barely like a fingernail barely. Just enough that I have to strain to hear it.

Glad to help out! Stay safe and thank you for your service!

Those off-topic interjected opinions to simply pass judgement on others will almost always cause confusion and waste time. We can get back on topic, with the 2.5" level and that offsite, I'd still look at the 305/55/20 if you want widest and tallest you can fit with the possibility of a little rubbing with the +1 offset. Although, you might be able to squeeze something taller but narrower in there. All depends on that rim offset you choose. That's what really will determine the size of tire you can run. Check stores or online retailers that specialize in wheel tire combos and give them a call. You'd be surprised on what they can determine over the phone or email. Also, take a look at the 2014+ Wheel and Tire Setup topic here: http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/161228-post-your-2014-wheeltire-set-up/?st=0 Might give you good look at what to expect with that offset and size. I know there's some guys on there running that rim with A/Ts. Just a question of their lift/level after that. FYI, The most popular A/T tires I found being ran on here when I was researching them seem to be: BF Goodrich All-Terrain KO2, Toyo A/T II, or Nitto Terra Grapplers G2s. Hope all that helps. Hopefully someone with knowledge on or running that wheel offset with the a 2.5" level can throw in some valuable info.

Exactly what the 2004 2500 farm truck is for.

No sir. That's under normal street/highway driving in the High Country. I can't bring myself to off-road a $55k truck other than in and out of a field from time to time, and I cringe when I do that.

Just a hair over 2" on top setting for me.

Might depend on brand (Goodyear, Toyo, etc.) and style (Duratrac, A/T II, M/T, etc) of tire as actual measurement of tire can vary even though they are same size. I'm running Toyo A/T II 295/60/20 (33.9") with a 2.5" level and stock +27mm high country rims. Just barely rubs (like 1/16" barely) the inner liner at full lock in reverse. You'd possibly have some moderate rubbing with that +1 offset rim and that size. I could be wrong but you'd probably have to do a decent amount of trimming. A 305/55/20 might be better for that offset just by the research I did before I got mine but again just throwing out my opinion. Anyone please feel free to correct if I'm off base. May just depend on actual tire dimensions though. What brand/style were you looking at?

I went straight for the top setting at 1.85". Since it requires a spring compressor and top hat removal to adjust, I have not used any of the other settings. I got just over 2" with it which is what I wanted.

Haha! My tailgate definitely does not say Honda on it.

I used to do that too when I first had it tinted. If I saw a cop or they were sitting gunning people, I'd just reach up and slide my sunroof cover open to let light in during the day, or flip the inside lights on at night like you do. After a while, I just said screw it, they'll tell me if they don't like it. I honestly haven't had any issues in the year and a half I've had them tinted though (knock on wood).

35% is also the legal limit for fronts in Illinois with factory tint in rears. It's definitely not legal, but looks great and I drive like a g'pa so they don't bug me. Haha.

Thanks! You got it. They are recons. The tails are very bright and put vled reverse lights in then. Extremely bright. The third brake light isn't as bright as I'd like but still is pretty noticeable at night. Definitely lights up the road and cars behind me. Would recommend. They are 50 state DOT legal.

The first pic you see the back part of the topper from my neighbors ford in the drivers window. Nobody in the truck, at least that I knew of. Haha. It's 15% on fronts, 5% front sun shield, and 5% over factory tint on the rears. I think it was just a matter of where the sun is in the sky when I took the pics. First one it was directly overhead so light was coming in the front window. Fourth pic it was behind and towards the rear. Tint is the same in both pics.

Finally got around to posting on this thread... 2014 High Country Before: After:

No kidding. You are quite correct. I appreciate your insights on the bilsteins and the compliments in my truck. Both are greatly appreciated! I do love the ride.

And looks better with new tires now....

Welp verdict is out, I got 3 different answers from 3 different calls to bilstein. One said didn't matter as I indicated in my first post, second call produced an I'm not sure but I will have someone contact you as soon as possible (wasn't contacted), and finally yesterday a boots down is typical for that application. Take it for what it is but not impressed by the CS there. However the ride is still great. Today I called Autoanything as there service has always been outstanding to see what they had to say as well. They immediately told me boots down. So they got flipped this evening. Not sure if I just got some newbies on the phone from bilstein but would have saved a lot of time and effort if the proper information was presented initially. Oh well. That's why we have the forums I guess.

Stock GM High Country rims. 20x9 +27mm, I believe.

Couple more pics...

Toyo AT II Xtreme - 295/60/20 - almost 34" tire. 33.9" to be exact per toyo.

Agreed. This is exactly what I did on my RC level before I swapped it out for the Bilsteins. Just flip the bolts over. Plenty of room.

Thanks! Toyo A/T II Xtremes - 295/60/20 on 2.5 Bilstein/RC combo level. Good clearance. No rubbing at all.
