I put a 2.5" kit on mine and have cooper stt 33x12.50r20's going on today hopefully. I can let you know that goes. I saw a lot of people running the nitto trail grapplers 295/55r20's and they measure out to a 32.91 x 12.52. Hope that helps and I'll post how mine goes.

In my experience they will rub badly under normal driving. Although some claim to have no rubbing at all, which I find to be improbable. I tried it with just a leveling kit while I was waiting for my body lift and it wasn't happening without cutting metal. They still rubbed in off camber situations with the addition of a 3" body lift. The wheels were aftermarket, 20x8.5 with a +18 offset...essentially stock specs.

I see. Well the wheels I'm wanting are only available with a +35 mm offset I guess going from a + 18 to + 35 won't make that much difference will it?

It will help in a way. It will ease the amount of rubbing on the fender, but increase any rubbing on the sway bar since the tires will be pulled in more.

Update from my tires. Turned the wheels to full lock after putting on and don't see any rub. No extra noises going down the road and nothing shinny under there once I drove it home. Turned the wheels to full lock again after getting it home and don't see it touching anything. So I'm going to say no rub on the flat. I don't know if you were ever angled for some reason it would rub but I would say under normal driving I'm not going to have any problem. Don't get me wrong its tight in there now but its not touching. Will try and get some pics up soon.

Alright sweet. I was looking at mine yesterday with the wheels turned and it looked like it will be pretty snug but also I haven't put my leveling kit on yet Im jus waiting till I get my tires to put it on. I'm sure there might be times it'll rub but for jus driving normal sounds like Ill be good. Thanks for the update I was anxious to hear how they did. Is your truck the newer body style though? If that would a difference or not

That's my wheels turned the whole way. I have a couple other shots in my gallery. I wouldn't think the .25" difference between you kit and mine would make a whole lot of difference.

That's what I was wanting to see man. Thanks a lot! Truck looks real slick with those tires. Yea I'd agree I don't think that a quarter of an inch will matter at all

No problem I too did a lot of searching and reading before I purchased my tires and was still nervous that they would rub but now that they are on I love them. I'll tell you I went with the coopers for 2 reasons a) I previously had them on my stock 17's stock size and liked them b) On their website they measure them at 32.66x12.49 which I felt would comfortably fit.

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.

      AFM Disabler Question

      Melling I believe is/was the OEM on the lifters who explored this problem some years ago. The white paper they generated on the topic indicated two items of note when I read it. 1.) They only fail on the switch. Prevent the switch, prevent the failure. 2.) The majority fail due to deposits messing up the timing of that switch. Anyway that's what I got from it.    Mine have always been active, 195K+ now, and my oil maintenance is surgically clean.    Of course this assumes good parts. That is no heat treat issue or machining flaws. I get comfortable that these issues are in the rearview mirror by about 30K. IMHO naturally.
