  1. Hey guys, I've searched high and low and read all the multiple tire threads and got a lot of great info but I have a specific question about tire size on stock wheels with a level. I've got a 2017 Sierra denali with stock wheels. I'm going to do a 2" level and put some AT tires on. One shop I called says to go with a 285/55/20, another says 275/60/20. They both said neither will rub. Does it really matter what I go with? they are so similar in size. Am I looking at any real difference between the two as far as traction/how it rides/looks? I know for sure that I DON'T want the tire to rub at all or to stick out past the wheel well at all, but I don't think the 285s would on stock wheels, is that right? Also, is going with one of these over the stock 275/55/20 even going to look any better? Considering just sticking with stock size... I was originally thinking 275/60/20 since a friend has the same truck with those without issue, but the shop that said 285/55/20 is the "reputable" shop locally FWIW I am most likely going Toyo AT3
  2. Wow never thought of that. Maybe you know of the only one open on Sundays? Thanks!!!!
  3. Will the truck go on record as having been in an accident regardless of whether I use my insurance? I don't know if that's a function of insurance companies or auto body shops. I'm just thinking if I pay out of pocket I could help myself in the future if it's not shown as having been in an accident. I guess that's sort of dishonest but it drives totally fine, doesn't even pull to one side or the other. Seems to me it's all cosmetic.
  4. I hit/scraped a guardrail doing about 65. I'm lucky to be unharmed and my truck is totally drivable. I haven't called my insurance as I want to get a couple quotes to pay out of pocket first. I'm not sure what to expect cost wise, any ideas? I think my front and rear bumper will need to be replaced. I'm not sure if the doors are salvageable. They are badly scraped but don't appear to be dented/deformed. They open, but there's a creak/pop when I do. The front and rear quarter panels are also up for debate. I think the rear will definitely need to be replaced, front might be ok. Pictures in the Imgur link below It's a 2017 GMC Sierra Denali https://imgur.com/a/Zn7WNq0
  5. It's a crew cab short bed. 5' 8" - maybe the combination of short bed and 6.2L 4WD explains the 4" difference. I was hoping to limit my level to 2" in the front just to avoid needing any other suspension upgrades or potential issues. Do you think a 2" difference front to rear will even look any better than what I have now? Kind of frustrating, would be nice to go with a 1.5 or 2" level and be within an inch or less front to rear
  6. Hey guys I'm looking to level my 2017 Sierra Denali 4wd 6.2L. I noticed my rear sits 4" higher than the front (36" front/40" rear). I measured from ground through center of wheel to fenderwell AND from center of wheel up to fenderwell to hopefully get rid of any difference caused by tire pressure. Still 4" difference. That seems pretty high to me. Could it be from the larger engine up front, or am I missing something? I was hoping to just install the SuspensionMaxx 2" level and get pretty close to level but it looks like I'll still have 2" of rake. I guess as a side note I was hoping to install 275/60/20 Duratracs after the level. That should fit no problem, right? Thanks !
