2014+ Leveling Kits

EChavez · January 21, 2015

For a brief period I ran stock 22x9 +31 wheels 285/50R22 tires which is bigger than a 33, with 1.5" wheels spacers on a 2.5" level and didn't rub.

It's not exactly what you wanted but close

Probably better than anything else I'll get, I don't know many people that run spacers and only found stuff on the NNBS. Thanks, I feel like it'll give a decent stance but still be practical with that setup.

I can't remember his name but there is a member running 4" lift oem 22s 285/45 stock Bridgestones with 2" wheel spacers on his Denali

Very nice truck sir ^ makes me wish I got black. I swear it's a love hate thing with that color haha..

Anyways, might be a longshot but any guys running 33's with 2" spacers on stockers? I know the 33's will clear on stock wheels with a leveling kit but not sure how much of a difference those spacers will make.

DEFINITELY a love/hate kind of thing..

Any photos out there with 295/70/18 tires mounted and leveled?

Check these threads out. They're also 2500HD's, like yours...

I don't think you'll swing it on a 1500 with 2.5" level, possibly a 3"...but it would be a trial. On stock offset people are rubbing with 275/70/18 on 2.5" kits

They are??? I've seen guys running that size without any lift at all on stock rims...and no rubbing

Was going to say the same, that tire is almost the same width as stock tires. People aren't rubbing with 295/55/20 stock offset. 33x12.5x20 or 305/55/20 might be a different story.

No I haven't really noticed any stiffer ride, maybe slightly but not too noticeable. It amazes me the height of the truck now just from 2.5", hoping in the truck, sitting in the truck. I love it

Hey buddy that is the same lift/tire setup I was looking at. I am thinking about adding the Zone 1-1/2" body lift too. Could you measure your ground to fender height for me.

Thanks

I'm away at work for 5 more days, I'll try and remember to measure and get back to you. I'm guessing you'll need the 2.5", although I left the upper strut spacers off, so I probably didn't get the full 2.5" level in the front. I highly recommend these tires and setup. I love the looks and the improved traction. I live in AK so I do a lot of winter driving obviously. I work in the oilfield at the north slope of AK and most of our F250's up here run these tires for good reason.

Yeah sorry my bad, I may be mistaken here. I believe one person complained of rubbing the fender liner is all.

You can now throw the rocks at me

5RWill · January 23, 2015

No worries bud, was just letting the guy know he could probably fit 275/70/18 though i think he asked about 295/70/18, in which it would probably rub even with a 2.5" level though i doubt the offset would be the cause. Cousin has an 09 with an RC 2.5 running 295/70/18 or whatever the equal size is in a 17" rim. He rubs a little in the front and back of the wheel well which he had to trim some, but is using stock offset.

Well I finally dropped some coin on a set of new tires. I went with Cooper Discover ATP which is a P size and lighter weight that LT tires. I believe they are 52 lbs and rated 6 ply. I really like the ride so far, not as harsh as my Goodyear Eagles LS2's I had. Also taller and fill up the wheel wells better.

14 Crew with RC 2 1/2 level lift and Cooper Discoverers 275 60 R20's on stock OEM 20's x 8.5".

They state 33" in diameter but after mounting they dropped to 32.5" which is better than the Goodyear Eagles LS2's I had at 30 5/8".

Mild look but happy since I didn't need such aggressive tires such as the Nitto Terra Grapplers.

So i ordered a set of Bilsteins so i'm ditching my ranchos. But i figure hell, my brother can use the Ranchos on his 2012 Chevy Silverado SLE 4x4 could he not? Both are GMT900 suspension right? Granted the dampening rate wouldn't be set up for his truck i imagine they're better than the factory OEM twin tubes he has. Since he got his RC 2" leveling kit there was definitely a loss in ride quality. His truck became very stiff IMO.
