Hello everyone. Sorry for yet another will it fit post but I just can’t seem to find the answer and my searches aren’t yielding the results I need. I currently have a 2018 Silverado 1500 with 18” fuel mavericks with a -12 offset. I’m running 275/70r18 Trail Grapplers. I also have a 4” BDS lift. I’m in the market for new tires and have been really considering the Toyo M/T as I’ve had the nittos on my last few trucks and kinda want something different. My problem is there is a significant difference in cost per tire for my current size or anything close to it metric wise vs just getting the 33x12.50. At the moment I don’t rub but jumping up to a nearly 2 inch wider tires worry me. Does anyone have any experience with fitting this size tire on a -12 offset wheel without rubbing?

You might have already found your answer but I tapped into the reverse wire in the trailer pin harness. They only come on while in reverse. Had it for a few years now with no issues.

Hello, Im looking into installing a few led marker lights in my grille. I’ve seen several threads on this but the one question I can’t seem to find is what fuse are y’all using to keep the marker lights on when ever the truck is on? I know some are using the DRL or the parking lights but I’m unclear if these will keep the lights on at all times. Also I don’t want to tap into my headlights so I plan on using an “add a circuit” fuse adapter but just wanted to verify I wouldn’t need to put another fuse in it right? I just pull the existing fuse out and replace it in the adapter correct? Thanks for yalls help.

Old thread I know but those of y’all who have these lights specifically in a 2016-2108 grill care to post a pic how y’all mounted them? I see some of y’all talking about using a piece of aluminum bar stock and just curious how y’all made it work?

I appreciate the pics. That’s just what I needed to see.

Hello, Just seeing if anyone had any suggestions on removing rear door panel trim. I’m able to remove the front no problem but kinda at a loss where to begin on the rear. Just don’t want to break any clips. I’m removing these pieces so I can either wrap or maybe trade with someone on here. I currently have the Z71 silver “carbon fiber” trim pieces that came factory and I’m looking to get the wood grain if anyone is interested in swapping. If not any suggestions on a good brand of vinyl wood grain wrap? Thanks for all the help.

Old thread I know but one thing I would love to see if possible is some pictures of the lighting from in the cab with tinted windows. I’d like to do this mod since I can hardly see out my mirrors with my tint. Most pictures are from the outside or the back up camera but is there significant change while looking through your window to back up. Any help would be appreciated.

ReadyLift’s UCAs that come with the kit

Yes it has the new upper control arms. The shop I went to said it wasn’t necessary but that they recommended it. I decided to go with it since it is a brand new truck. Didnt want to give them any reason to try to get out of warranty.

ReadyLift 2.25” leveling kit with the new upper control arms. 275/70-18 Nitto Trail Grapplers.

Pictures or it didn’t happen ha ha. For real though they must be as close as close can be.

Running the N-Fabs

I know they fit with an aftermarket wheel but there is hardly any info with the stock 18 inch wheels. Im just not ready to pull the trigger on aftermarket wheels at the moment. Readylift’s website says if using the stock wheel I can’t go wider than a 11.50 without using a spacer. I’m wondering if it has to do with the new UCA’s that come with the kit. I might just got by Discount Tire and try out a 33x12.50 tire and find out myself.

Ya that’s what I was wondering. I have the ReadyLift 2.25 leveling kit and on their website it says up to a 33x11.50 tire. It also says a half inch spacer may be needed if using stock wheels. I went ahead and bought 275/70/r18 Trail Grapplers since I knew for sure they would fit but I’m really wishing I would have got the 33x12.50.

I appreciate the help and pictures. I really thought they would have sticked out a little further. Thats a good thing though. I eventually want to get new wheels but I just can’t get them at this moment. Tires are more of I priority at the moment. Just want to make sure what I buy will work now and in the future. Thanks again.

Yeah I had 275/70r18 grapplers on my last Chevy so I know it will be off a couple. Eventually I’ll get a tuner and fix it. Thank you.

I was looking at the Nitto Trail Grapplers so I’m wondering if the more agreasisive thread would cause me an issue. Do you have plenty of room or is it just enough? I had the 275/70r18 grapplers on my 2012 with no issue but they were nearly as wide. Can you post a picture of the side? Curious how far they stuck out. Also what size lift do you get with those Bilsteins? Thank you for your help.

Hello Guys, I just traded in my 2012 Chevy 1500 Z71 and got a brand new 2018 Chevy 1500 Z71 with stock 18 inch wheels. Im sure its been asked but ive tried searching the forum, google, custom offsets etc. and cant seem to find the answer. Im having a ready lift 2.25 leveling kit installed and want to get the largest tire I can get. I found plenty of info on the stock 20’s and 22’s and aftermarket 18’s just not the stock. So is anyone running 33x12.50 on the stock 18’s? If so please tell me what brand tire too. Any help would be appreciated.
