No, That one will work, but it's an unprotected Teflon socket on a steel ball that the racers use. My truck isn't a race truck. I don't want to maintain it like one either. I bought their, UCA with a regular automotive ball joint, albeit a heavier ball joint than the OEM.

Exactly ... thanks, it's just the look I wanted !

 

Keep your overall plan of future mods in mind when deciding on wheel size. When I bought my o/s Wilwood brakes, I was told that the min size wheel was 18" (although 17s looked like they might work) for the 14.25" dia brakes I chose. There was also a 16" brake for the same price that required a 20" wheel. So, if you think you'll get bigger brakes later, research the compatibility of the wheel sizes.

Will they fit? I am new to the forum. I need advice. I have a 2WD 2014 Silverado LT with factory 18" wheels. I recently had a Prolift 2" leveling kit installed up front. I have ordered LT275/70/18 Nitto Trail Grappler M/Ts to achieve a more aggressive look. They are 33.62" in diameter. My question is will they rub? Do I have enough clearance? I have read wheel well liner could be adjusted with zip ties. Is this an option? Could someone post some pictures of this? Thanks.

Your tires should fit. They'll be close in some places, maybe even rub the liner a bit, depending on the flex of the liners. But probably not. You'll be fine. And yes, you can tie back the liners. They're just plastic and you can drill a couple holes to run the ties thru.

Same setup I have but just a different tire. everything fits fine and they really fill the wheel wells nicely. Post pics when they're on!

Having the zone 2 inch level installed this morning at 10:30. Still undecided on perfect tire size. Won't be off road but want a better stance with no rub problems. So many options here on this thread. 2 inch level up front. Stock block in back. Using my stock 20's I need a tire choice that's gonnagive me more rubber without sticking out the sides. Thoughts?

EDIT: zone 2 inch with G2 285/55/20.

    • I am not techy at all but wondered if you have the truck running but sitting still in park as some functions gray out as soon as the truck is moving. I believe in the settings for updates you can choose for it NOT to update and I wonder by chance if maybe that was chosen before and now it won't allow you to chose to press update, I think that is back in the settings menu where it has all the items one wants on or off etc. Also I assume you have a wifi connection and checked that it has some signal strength, not that it would have anything to do with the grayed out updates choice in that case. What I am thinking out loud of here may be be of no value but thought I would suggest it, sometimes it can be the simplest thing that resolves an issue.  
    • The so called rare failure that some certainly liked to tout ( die hard Ford fan boys ) as per the lifter failing and wiping out the cam. Back when it started happening the blame was being pointed to the lifters and honestly I never did hear anything myself conclusively one way or the other on that. Ford themselves in I believe 2024 had a technical bulletin I will call it that came out and for some engine platforms they were reprograming the engines idle speed but also they had a software update for the oil pump which then some time later was said what that software update did as to be increasing the oil pressure at idle. It is a good question if that issue was completely solved as one Ford specialist mechanic youtuber said he saw failures after that time period. Like anything there would be the variables, what oil is being used and the OCI and how much idle time gets put on an engine. I've seen some comments to claim that the L8T isn't so happy with high idle time either but I also know that companies that require their vehicle to idle a lot on the job don't tend to get the oil changed often enough for all those hours of idle time and go off of the odometer. 
    • My 2026 Silv. 1500 WT (reg cab/short bed/4wd) has the 40/20/40 with storage in lower middle seat as well as the fold-down center bolster/armrest.   With the dual glove boxes this is about as much storage as possible in a std cab IMHO. Bill
    • I have a 2026 base 1500 "WT" regular cab with basic Chevy "Infotainment 3" 7-inch screen/radio. How many speakers do I have If I want to upgrade? Is the audio amp separate from the radio/display unit]? [I listen to classical and it gets a bit raspy at slightly higher volumes. Don't need a sub etc.] Do I have two or 1 speakers in the doors? etc. Thanks Bill  San Jose
    • probably won't get a response from that user, as they haven't returned to the site since making that one post.  users don't (at least I don't, and I haven't seen any setting which would notify me via say, email) get any notification other than going to this site, and checking if they got a response on their thread...
