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.

So i put my RC 2" level kit and Toyo 295/55/20's on this weekend. Install was simple, just like on my 2011. It definitely helps to have an extra set of hands when wedging that spacer in there. 295/

Thanks. Here is one more from yesterday. Considering we're getting 8-10 inches of rain the next two days, I won't be taking any better pics soon.

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?

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

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 :ughdance:

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.

      Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      The thinking is that starting out in a higher gear makes it easier to avoid applying excessive torque when pressing the gas pedal. In a modern 4wd truck with 4 low and a limited slip or locking rear end, I would use 4 low and try to crawl up the ramp. Sometimes if they are too slippery, you have to back up to let the boat have some bouyancy, and then accelerate briskly to get some momentum to help you pull the through the slippery parts.

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.
