how much do the tires stick out from the side of the wheel well? bought 33" toyo mt's, same exact truck.

They dont stick out at all. If you went with 33x12.5 your tires will be wider than mine.

Anyone running 325/60r18 (33.3"x13") tires with 18x9 wheel (+20 offset 5.75" backspace) on a front only level kit?

 

I figure it's a long shot, but anyone think that would work without rubbing?

 

Love the way those tires look, I'm sure it'd be fine height wise but 13" is a wide tire.

Im running 305/60-18 on stock AT 18x8.5 wheels. No leveling. No rubbing. I dont know if you can do what you're thinking. It'd be close.

Yep, your new tire thread is what makes me think it might actually work. If you're getting 12.1 width under there with no level, an extra 2.5 level might allow that extra 0.9" width.

325s will rub just don't know where and how bad

I put in some 3/4" lower spacers to get 1 1/2" lift. 38 1/4" front, 39 1/2" rear fender height. With the 33s it picked up the front a total of 2". I think I'm about where I want to be with it.

Looks good and cute pups. You'll prob have a very nice stance with a hefty load.

 

With my truck only being 1/2-3/4" higher in the rear, I know I'm going to be pointed to the sky towing or hauling a heavy load. I see helper springs in my future

The guys at the shop were able to slip the blocks in without disconnecting anything other than the two bolts on the coilover lower attach. Didn't even take the wheels off.

 

If I'd have had my dogs with me when that blond was checking out my truck, she'd have been putty in my hand.

2" Rough County leveling kit, with 275/70/18 BF Goodrich TKOs. I'm contemplating getting 1/4" or 1/2" spacer plates to get a little more width. Anyone have experience with he plate spacers??

I have a 2.0" skyjacker levelling kit on my sierra and want to get new wheels soon but don't know what size of tire would fit and how wide I can go without rubbing a lot. I want 18" wheels. Anybody have any ideas?

You can get 305/60-18 (marked 12.50x33, actual 12.1x32.64) tires on stock RT5 All Terrain wheels (18x8.5) without rubbing. see this thread. http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/161086-cooper-st-maxx-30560-18-121x326-18-no-levellift/

Here is my truck with 1.5" level kit with 285/55/20 Terra Grapplers and factory mudflaps.

That looks great.

I still have a snugtop Hi-Liner Sport and a set of aluminum bed drawers to put on the truck. That's about 400 lbs total.

 

The pups are some great bird dogs. The white pointer is a George Hickox dog out of 3 hall of fame trial dogs lineage. Amazing to watch her work. I've gone out without a gun just to let her find birds.

    • I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose      
    • Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)    
    • Ok, I got the all the codes. What do you all think would be a place to start?
    • How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
