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

      Post your UOA, (used oil analysis) here

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Here's the second UOA on my 22 Wrangler with the Ecodiesel. This has 5k miles on AMSOIL Signature Series DEO 5w-40. The first one was dealer installed oil, no clue what it was, the second is what AMSOIL recommended, European FS 5w-40, Most of the Ecodiesel world is showing great results using the European MS 5w-40, I figured I would see how the DEO works. This is using an Ecoguard oil filter. It's my understanding this engine likes to shed aluminum.  We will see. So far I don't think this is too bad.

      Disable DRL's

      By revmanii · Posted

      I'm surprised nobody seems to offer a solution like the start/stop device I put in my new truck. Remembers my setting when shutdown. And while it still starts up in start/stop, it stores/evaluates what mode it was in when shut down and will change it whithin a second or 2 of startup. It'd be nice to have something like that for the DRLs.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      I will be doing that for sure, but I need to solve who has/ where I can find a bidirectional scan tool that will support OBD 1.5. I'm kicking myself because I ebay'ed a Snap On MT2500 that I didn't think I'd ever need anymore. D'oh!! I'd rather not buy another, so I'll contact a few local shops to see if they have one and how much they'd want to do the procedure. I'd rather have the ability to do it myself... I wish there was a modern tool that could do it all, but I'd have no idea what to buy.   The theory with the pulled timing is that it mimics a rich condition. The delayed spark causes incomplete burn and the O2 sensor picks up low oxygen levels. That's interpreted as a rich condition so the PCM pulls fuel and that shows up in the deeply negative fuel trims.

      An ultra wealthy man had the most beautiful daughter. But, there was a problem. Everything she touched would melt in her hands. No matter what, Metal, Wood, Stone. Anything she touched would melt. She could not feed herself. Because of this, men were afraid of her. Nobody would dare marry her. Her father was despaired. What could he do to help his daughter? He consulted doctors, scientists and anybody who could solve this problem. Finally one of them said, "If your daughter touches one thing that does not melt in her hands, she will be cured." He was overjoyed and came up with a plan. The next day, he held a competition. Any man who could bring his daughter an object that would not melt in her hands would be given billions of dollars to marry her. Three extremely intelligent and handsome young men took up the challenge. The first brought a very heavy steel rod, But alas, when the she touched it, it completely melted in a matter of seconds. He sadly went away. The second brought a beautiful diamond, knowing diamonds were one of the hardest substance in the world and would not melt. But alas, once she held it in her hand, it melted. He too was sent away disappointed. So now, there was one left He was very nervous & sweating. He approached the daughter & said, “put your hand in my pants pocket and feel what is in there." She did exactly what he asked. She felt something very hard. She held it in her hand, squeezing it as hard as she could. It did not melt & remained extremely hard. Her father was overjoyed. Everybody was overjoyed. She was finally cured. Nothing never, ever melted in her hand again. They married and they both lived happily ever after, raising a wonderful family. Question: What was in the the groom’s pants pocket??? Answer below ↓ M&Ms of course! They melt in your mouth, not in your hand. What on earth were you thinking?
