Wow outstanding looking. Do you have any more pics of your tires? Any rubing? Looks great. Thanks

I did have a slight rub on the sway bar but was cured with a .25" wheel spacer

I'm new to the forum but just wondering if anyone out there has installed the 2-1/2" moto fab front leveling kit only. I have a 2014 GMC Sierra slt. I measured from center of front wheel (21) and center of rear wheel(24), that is to the wheel well. If so would you post some pics. I definitely don't want the sag! Any info and/or pics will be greatly appreciated!!

We need more pics of guys running 18in rims and tires. I am still debating with the 2 or 2 1/2 in rough country or go the Rancho ready lift shock system.

looks good, what size tires you going with.

Gonna get some 295 55 20 trail grappler is what I'm eying right now. I like the wider stance, and want 305s but I think even 295 is pushing it on stock wheels

Yeapp... you're gonna rub the control arms / sway bar on full lock with 295's on stock 20's.

I don't mind a little rub at full lock, however I plan to get aftermarket rims within 6 mo's of purchase. And I might buy all together, but don't know if I want to spend that much spare dough at once.

I plan to do 295/55/20 on a rim with 0+ offset

The rims (20x9) im looking at have +1 offset, and from my research shouldn't rub very much if at all.

Wow... thanks for such a great thread... Spend days reading this.

 

I'm putting a 2in rough country level on my 2015 LTZ Z71 4x4 5.3 this weekend. I prefer a lot of rubber versus a larger wheel, so is the consensus pretty much that with 18"inch wheels, 275/70/18 is the maximum tire size in my configuration without havinig to do any trimming or have rubbing?

 

Thanks in advance for your advice and information.

After doing some digging I agree. Nitto makes 285/55/20 though which will probably be what I'm after. Wish toyo made that size. If toyo would get some decent sized RTs that's what Id be going with. While the wheel well allows plenty of space for wheel diameter thickness is pretty limited due to the offset of the stock wheels. 285/55/20 comes out at 32.6x11.89x20 according to nittos site. You can always try 295/60/20 which I've given thought to. According to toyos site they're 34.2x11.89x20. Id rather have toyos over nitto but 285/55/20 is a good size for stock rims. 275/65/20 is another that is 34x11x20.

 

Buddy of mine is running 285/75/18 toyo Mts on an RC 2.5" lift and says he just runs at full lock. Id be willing to bet it's a bit more than that.

I have 2.5 RC leveling kit on my truck. I got these wheels and tires, wheels are 20x9, -12 offset. Tires are about half tread 285/50/20 Terra Grapplers. Looking to do 305/50 or 305/55 after these.

    • More is cylinder deactivation. Kia-Hyundai Ive had 4. The warranty is the same 10 years 100K miles. My grandson drives the first one 05 Elantra GT. My wife drives the second one 2011 Genesis. The Genesis still performs as new and looks great. The Elantra looks rough. He’s not kind to it. The third was a Genesis coup. The fourth was a Santa Fe. Those were my daily drivers. I don’t keep them long. Kia is the same as Hyundai with the same warranty. I looked at the K-4 today. Too small, otherwise pretty good buy. Most of Hyundai and Kia’s have a performance upgrade. 
    • Thanks for the point of reference 
    • Great question. Answer....depends. One the volume of the crankcase, the driver that will actually be using the vehicle and the amount it uses plus the distance expected for that next trip. Couple of for instances:   Wife is going to drive Dizzy to Moline and back plus a bit around town so say 500 miles on the day. I know from years with that SUV that around town and local rural it uses about a quart in 1250 miles. But on the Interstate and her at the wheel without her anchor nagging her she'll push it and it will drop a quart in about 800 miles. Hence, around town I wait to somewhere between a quarter down to a quart down. On her trip I'd top it if it was down a few ounces and hope for the best.    Have I overfilled one? You mean by adding before it needs a full quart I assume. No, not once after finding the true fill mark.  I know the dipsticks of everything I drive and add what it needs. I learn this by doing the first oil change a quart low. Run the motor for a few minutes. Let it sit over night. Check and mark. Then add half a cup at a time making note of the place on the stick. I add through the dipstick tube with a barbeque basting bottle. Give it a few minutes to drain down and check again.    A vehicle like Dizzy that uses this much oil will take a few quarts between 3K changes. I keep one in the vehicle with the bottle and a bag. (Mindful of it's fullness) Not a big deal and never makes a mess of it. There is no such thing as "multiple quarts' in my shop for any specific oil. There will be a maximum however of the number of different oils used over the fleet.     Dizzy holds a nominal 5 quarts. So the first fill was indeed over as it actually took 4.75. My vehicles are fit with Valvomax valves so I can meter an ounce on the drain if need be. Found her mark first crack at it. Never to be repeated.    Pepper uses none between changes so I don't keep a quart in that one. Straight up 6 quarts put her dead on the full line. Check it ever fuel stop. They will surprise you when they start using.    Raven holds 3 liters or 5.44 ounces over three quarts. I add 3 quarts and 6 ounces. That gives me 5 oil changes on my orphan quart.    Lawnmower holds about 3/5 of a quart. I don't over fill it to prevent an orphan. So yea, depends. 
    • 185k on original 6.2L engine and 10 speed. 6" lift with 35" tires. Changed oil (Mobil 1 synthetic) when truck told me to. Original tranny with original fluid and no service or flush done. All highway miles. A/C compressor replaced at 155k. Oil cooler line replaced at 180k. Still daily driver. Love this truck.   This is my 3rd 6.2L vehicle (2008 Yukon Denali / 2018 Cadillac Escalade) with over 150k miles and no issues. Denali had broken motor mount at 100k.
