285/75/16 What To Trim?

[jkotila]

I am getting 285/75/16 on my 2004 2500HD next week.. What might need to be trimmed on the front fascia/bumper? Anyone have pictures? I want to trim before I take the truck in to get the tires. Thanks for any help.

If your torsion bars are turned up a little and you're using stock rims, you shouldn't have to trim anything at all.

My dad has that size on his 2500 dmax with cranked bars and he has TONS of room. He's stepping up to 35's next time around

I've got that same year Silverado HD. I just cranked the torsion bars 3 full turns on each side, plus trim the front fascia trim piece on an angle, and behind the tires where they MAY contact the wheel well liner. I wouldn't go butchering your truck until you see where rubbing MAY occur. Sorry, don't have any pics of that for you.

my bone stock z71 fit 285/75/16's with no problem and that was with 300 pounds of winch and brushguard on the front of the truck

Thanks for the input. I guess I will wait and see. I cranked my torsion bars, almost all the way yesterday. Got the truck almost level, within 3/4 inch measure at the wheel well. Ready for the new shoes and alignment on Monday. Thanks again!
