2014+ Suspension Lifts

I would say it's a no go on the car wash, with a 6" and bigger tires you won't clear the roof. And if it's a car wash with the track that pulls you through it, a 12.5" wide tire is to wide to fit the track.

My local car wash would fit my truck height wise (02 Silvy, 10" of lift, 35x12.5") but 11.5" wide tire is the max size. They do a crap job at those places anyways. They never get behind my rear tires on the fenders. And want to charge me extra for it. HAAA!!!

I just installed McGaughy 7" SS kit on my truck this past weekend and noticed that the driver side tire is further back in the wheel well while the passenger side tire appears to fit the wheel well perfectly. I checked the drop brackets before installing and they didn't appear bent or anything.

from the rear corner edge of the fender to the further edge of the tire:

driver side: ~1"

passenger side: ~2.5"

By logic, that means the wheelbase from the driver side to the passenger side changed 1.5".

Maybe that's how my Silverado came from the factory but never noticed it stock.

Any ideas? I will be calling McGaughy today and see what they say.

could be an issue of your bed not being aligned correctly. There have been a few reports of that.

LongrangeLauber · March 10, 2014

Since he mentioned drop brackets seems like he's talking about the front wheels. That is odd though

I just talked to McGaughy... I need to get them some pics of what I'm talking about. I'll post them up here too. BTW, the rear axle lines up fine with the rear wheel wells.

I have not done an IFS lift on a Chevy/GMC, but I have done numerous on Toyotas and it get me and my buddies stumped.

For my 02 when I installed my McGaughy's lift the torsion bar drop brackets they had me take a bunch of pics too. Your case seems a bit more extreme than mine though. Their install instructions are not very thorough with what you actually have to do

Well it's come time that I'm ready to lift my truck. I'm looking at a 6" lift either pro comp or bds.

Problem is I'm not sure 20x12 -44 with a 35x12.5 will clear, anyone got any inputs?

And yea I'm aware they are going to stick out, I just don't know on the new trucks if I'd have to do a lot of trimming with those rims.

Thanks boys
