I have a 2 inch leveling kit and 2 inch rear blocks on my truck i have a shot at a good deal for some 33/12.5x20 toyo mts on moto metal 951s. They were on a 2000 silverado with a 4 inch lift and rubed some when backing up at full lock. Im thinking they wont work for me. Lets hear the knowledge and wisdom from you guys. Ill get new pics up with the 2 inch rear blocks added as soon as the truck gets a bath

thats what i thought damn damn damn ha ha ha ha oh well. What size would you recomend? Someday if i can find a steal of a deal on a 3 in body lift ill put one of those on too. Im currently running the 265/70/17. I would like to step up to an 18 or 20 inch wheel so someday when i can afford the lift the wheel protion ill already have.

You need a 2" leveling kit for 275/60/20 correct? I Can get a pretty good deal on some rims and tires but dont think they will fit without leveling kit, dont really want to do any trimmimg. Also got mudflaps on that are about a 1/4" thick.

Correct. They won't fit without a leveling kit.

I saw a 2500HD with 35's a while back....and it just had the factory bars cranked. I couldn't see much from a distance...but when I got up close, I could see that the owner had cut a large portion of the metal fender, trimmed a LOT of plastic, and had zip ties pulling the inner fender (what was left of it) away from the tires. From 30 feet, it looked awesome, lol.

I wonder how some guys run 35x12.50 with just a leveling kit, it blows my mind when I see it. I want 35's, but I rub 33's with 5" of lift.

 

 

Where do you see that?

 

I know some guys run 35s, but they are running 3" leveling kits and stock 18" rims

 

Thats what I mean, 2.5 TGC level and 35's on stockers.

And that's an on a HD. The fact is that some guys are willing to hack up their fenders to make things work. And then, because they were told it wouldn't work, will lie their asses off and claim they don't rub.

id love a set of 35s one day but that will be a lift and new gears for that. Thats why i want to stick with 33s although it looks like im going to have to lift to get my 33x12.5 tires anyhow. In the future im going to add a 3in body lift maybe i can clear them if i add the body lift in conjunction with my leveling kit.

I would make some measurements. I get very slight rub left side in reverse at full lock to left turn from tire to plastic shroud. I could trim this but the rub is so minimal that it will disappear with tire wear. I have 285 75 r16s so I gotta think 12.5" tires would rub because my 285's are 11.6" wide. Maybe a bit of more back space in my rims would help... I got stock rims and do not want to jack with rim back spacing and change my bearing loads. Good luck!

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sad thing is that this doesn't have to be the case. LSPI can be solved without a reduction in TBN. Swap Ca for Mg.  Cats are not a issue if the OEM can get a ring and valve guide seal even at SN levels of SAPS. Dizzy is purring like a kitten with a bowl of warm milk. 200K of Full SAPS oil and zero detonation issues and nice a clean inside and out. This shouldn't be an issue. It isn't 1920.    Tell ya what AMSOIL SS is excellent at, internal cleanliness. The new formula is even a step up from their already outstanding cleanliness levels. Can't say the OEM offering is quite that clean. There marketing suggest the SS is cleaner.     That is the only defense with at shelf oil. Nothing wrong with them if you ignore the marketing and OEM 'recommended' OCI and use a thimble full of common sense. 😉 You go sir.

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By StingerZ16 · Posted

      I started with a folding cover by BAK PAC on my 2500. It went bad after close to 5 years. Bent and vinyl coming loose. Contacted BAK and they gave me a very good discount on a Revolver. Had it a number of years. Mostly outdoor storage. Some garage storage. Vinyl started to come loose. Still under warranty so they replaced to cover. Sold the 2500, bought the 1500 and got another revolver for it. Had it a couple years now and no issues. I store it indoors. Got a bit of discount when buying it as well. If you are seeing problems, contact BAK or real truck and let them know. Customer service was pretty good. But I think they changed their warranty.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I agree, there is no one answer fits all as every rig is different, one may be pulling some little aluminum fishing boat while another is towing a monstrosity that weighs a lot and hopefully the owner if the rig has some prior experience to know what drive mode they should choose.    It also struck me and this is from watching a few of those boat ramp escapades videos in the past, Ford being one of the vehicles that has the auto front axle hubs and sure enough its found out that one hub has crapped out and won't engage and may not have manual hubs to even select on both sides so they are on the boat ramp stuck with no four wheel drive and spinning .... they flat out need a tow to get up the ramp and deal with the vehicles new found issues. That can happen to all brands of pickup, finding out either four wheel drive or 4 low isn't working right at the time its needed it to work as some electronic crap has failed.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      Its possible you never had the joy of the crappy boat launches we tend to have around here or really some of them are just grades down to the river if its a river scenario and the conditions change all the time with the river levels and silt deposits. Some of the lakes we went to years ago, there was no such thing as a cement pad that went down into the water that the trailer stayed on, it was gravel maybe up to the water line and then duck crap much beyond that so sinking the boat tires into mud. Of course some of the more established lakes had a cement bar type boat ramp but sometimes it was covered in green slime closer and certainly within the water and a two wheel drive had all sorts of fun if one had to touch that slime with the rear tires.    A neighbor of mine had made a comment years back with his chev truck that was probably about the same year as yours but a half ton extended cab 4x4 and he a a fiberglass boat with an inboard so it wasn't a feather weight and he had gone out to one of the large popular lakes in the area and don't ask me how this happened but he was in two wheel drive as he figured he didn't require four wheel drive for that boat ramp and somehow upon pulling the boat out he twisted one of his drive axles. I suspect it must have spun and then grabbed on the cement ramp and shocked it to the degree of twisting it. He would have had the standard 8.5 or whatever it was axle housing as the 9.5 ring gear like my truck has also has larger drive axles as far as I know. Anyway he was feeling a vibration driving home and had it checked out and a shop found that the tire/hub was wobbling because of the axle had twisted so in went a new drive axle. After that bad experience he said he made sure to put it into four wheel drive to lower the stress on the rear axle. Of course that is where an HD truck can handle a lot more stress and no doubt these newer half tons with their larger ring gears probably have larger drive axles as well to match vs back in the day.

      Desirable - as in does someone WANT one, aspire to have one. Could reasonably buy any car they want and CHOOSE these instead.    I didn't watch the video, why did they win?
