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

The rubbing I presume can be handled by trimming the interior wheel well? Or is the offset way too much, if so what is the maximum offset/wheel width we can run with just a 2.5 inch level?

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.

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.

 

Thanks!

285/55/20 is 33x11.5x20 mickey thompson ATZ P3s come in this size and can be found for around 250$ a tire. I'm thinking of running a set until i can get my rims. Nitto Also makes Trail grapplers in that size.

I think it's still too much. I'm not sure what the maximum offset is for just a 2.5" level. IIRC, it needs to be 0 or higher (+). You might want to ask member

baggedlvintegra as I know he's had a lot of different wheels and currently has 22x12s that are rubbing right now.

20x10s with 33x12.50x20 rub with a 2.5" level. The 12s are gonna stick out almost 2 inches farther and they'll be inward close to another centimeter as well.

 

So yeah, you're gonna rub like hell.

 

I've seen people get by with a 4 inch lift and 12s with 31s. But you'll be cutting a lot of metal with just the 2.5. Bagged said that his 5" total lift eliminated the rubbing on his 12 wide equivalent setup.

I like your wheel well trim. Is that stock if not where did you get it?

Nitto is a niche company under Toyo still. Same rubber fellas. Thats why both tire brands are so awesome. :)

 

I don't think they are the same company anymore. I know about 10 years ago they were, but I think they split. Tread patterns used to be identical, but not anymore. I accidentally ran a set of Tera Grapplers on my last truck and I ran through them in about 30K, where-as the Open Country's I ran before lasted close to 50K.

The fender trim is stock on the '15 GMC. You can opt for painted trim if you want...

Some great info in this thread, I've spent an hour researching for a kit to go on my 2014 Chevy.

 

Anyone have a pic with a 2-2.5" Rough Country kit with Duratrac tires on stock 18's? Specifically on a 2014 Chevy or whatever else is out there.

 

Also, what is a fair price to have this installed? I know it's cheaper to do by yourself but don't have the resources to get it done. Thanks!

It's not a RC kit and about 2 3/8" lift, but it's Duratracs on the stock 18's…

It's been good, very happy with the Duratracs in the winter. My only complaint ti at highway speeds the Duratracs cause a bit of vibration… I have BFG KO2's going on soon for the summer…

Does anyone have a leveled sierra with 305/40r22's? I'm trying to decide if they will look too small. I'm thinking of some cooper zeon ltz's, but if they're too small I may go with 305/45r22 Dynapro ATM's.

The 305 is about the same overall height as the 275/55R20 and 285/45R22. It will just be 12" wide

Cant tell you. I have seen the 03-13 trucks with them on fairly aggressive road tires. Like soft compound for grip in 305/40R22 and 305/50R20. Didnt look bad on those. If youre leveled go for the 305/45

      Thanks!  I figured as such; GM and other manufacturers have used standard parts and harnesses across trim levels and such for decades.  I pulled the blank accessory cover off of my commuter van (a 2016 or so Chevy 15-passenger) years ago and found the plug for a USB outlet.  It wasn't connected to anything, though (I tried swapping in an outlet from another van).  I was a GM Tech years ago (late-90s) and was pretty familiar with my 2006.  I might be wrong, but I view newer vehicles (pretty much anything made in the past 20 years) as being a lot more plug and play.  Meaning, more unused wires and plugs unless you have the Mack Daddy of vehicles.

      not all plugs will be used.  gm uses more generic harnesses that support most/all options, and if your truck doesn't have a specfiic option, the plug won't be used (commonly will have a dummy insert in the plug , or it'll be taped up, but some may just be left as is).  But it's sldo possible some p.o. has installed the wrong/cheaper parts that aren't correct for your vehicle...

      First off, I'm not trying to just get easy advice/fixes for the issues I've noticed so far.  I'll be combing through the site via searches and such, and if past experiences are any indication, should find what I need.  For the sake of conversation, though, I figured I'd post the handful of things I've noticed in the 12 hours since buying my 2010 SLE CCSB.     Indicator lights: Airbag and TPMS.  The tire pressures aren't reading for any of the wheels, so I'm pretty certain the sensors were either removed, are damaged, or are otherwise inoperable.  I used to mount and balance tires 25 years ago but am pretty much ignorant when it comes to TPMS.  My 2006 didn't have the sensors and this might be the fourth vehicle I've owned that does.     Radio: Rear speakers aren't working.  I removed the driver's side rear door panel and checked the speaker and wiring.  I also removed the sill and b-pillar covers to check the wiring.  A few minutes of Google Fu showed that this is potentially a head unit issue.    Switches: Power mirrors don't turn left/right.  I ordered replacement driver's door switches that should arrive tomorrow.  The windows and locks work but it was only about $20 for all of them.  The driver's side rear window switch lets the window down but won't put it back up.  I think the passenger rear doesn't work at all.  In the coming days/weeks, I'll break out my multimeter to check all of that.   Unknown wiring harness: There's a box attached to the front driver's side of the engine compartment, right where the second battery shelf is located.  There are three plugs, one of which looks like it fits a standard headlight-style bulb (9007 or similar).  It doesn't look like it's plugged into anything.  I'll do some digging and if I don't see anything elsewhere on the site, post some pictures here.   Unknown plugs on brake booster: There are at least two female plugs on the brake booster that aren't being used.  I think it might be a replacement/aftermarket, so maybe those are used for a different application, as there don't seem to be any unplugged harnesses and no indicator lights are on.   Little squeaks when turning: Sounds almost like a bushing around the bed of the truck.  I'll have to pay close attention as I get more familiar with the truck.   Clunk on acceleration: possibly the infamous drivetrain clunk.  My 2006 had it and I'm just not familiar enough with this truck yet to fully grasp what it is.   Anyway, my apologies for the vague and all over the place post.  This truck is new to me, and it's been four years since I drove my 2006.  With 200k miles, I know I'll need to learn this truck quickly to avoid having any major issues, despite being confident it's got much more life to it.  My 2006 had nearly 320k on it when I parked it (nearly 300k of which I put on the truck), and it was still drivable then, though I suspected the head gasket might have blown.  I'd hoped to have that truck back by now, but it's gone forever, as I detailed in my reintroduction thread.
