I second the thought of Toyo tires. Had them on my Tacoma and loved them. Buddy currently has them on his 2010 silverado and he loves them too.

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.

I know this has probably been answered before, but is it possible to run 33"x12.5" tires on a 2" leveling kit with the stock 20" wheels? Anyone have pictures they can post? I don't really want to trim, so any issues with rubbing?

Yeah you dont have to worry about trimming, but it will rub the UCA/swaybar.

Have a new 2015 truck now, but the kit held up fine and I had no problems with it. If you want the front raised, but like a little rake, little cost, this is the way to go.

 

However....the new truck feels smother than my 2014 over the small bumps, the only difference being the level kit. I could be going crazy, but I think even the 1.5 inch lift changed the softness of the ride. Not a huge change...but noticeable. If I was going to do it again, I would probably pick up a set of Rancho or Billstein leveling shocks.

Thanks for the info. Just went ahead and ordered the RC 2" for the front. Hopefully I'll get to them tonight, if not definetly this weekend. Then it will be time for tire and rims.

What size tire could I fit on my truck with the Bilstein shocks set at the 1.25" front setting? I have 20" wheels.

 

I'm thinking overall the same height as stock but with some added width.

 

Anyone have thoughts?

Got my Rough Country 2.5 leveling kit on, front only and truck is perfectly level. Looking at some Moto Metal 962 20x12 wheels with 33x12.5 tires. Anyone put these wheels on a 2015 sierra z71 or chevy equivalent? The offset on the wheels are -44. Any advice would be great.

Both of those will work fine IMO.

 

I have my front end raised the same amount as you and I just put on 275/60 20's and they clear with room to spare for height and width.

 

You might already know this site exists but if not it's pretty cool.

Yea thanks. I used that site to find similar tire sizes. I was more concerned about actual fitment. I dont want to rub at all.

Good deal.

 

Yeah I didn't want any rub either and they don't. Your two choices should clear no problem.

I'm pretty sure those are going to rub like crazy. That negative offset is going to be the issue.

If you don't want any rubbing at all, I'd say either a 285/55/20, 305/50/20, or a 275/60/20.

      I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.

      Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      Atlas, you kill me As aggravating as a project like this can be you have been unable to hide your fascination with learning and using that angst against this beast like a Ninjitsu Master. It amuses you, admit it now.      BTW, love your writing style. 😉
