Anyone know the biggest tires that can be put on 22" GM rims with a RC 2.5" level while having no rub and no offset?

Posted

I know this has probably been discussed many times on here but I have yet to find a clear answer. I have a '14 crew cab sierra all terrain and I am going to get a 2" leveling kit from rough country. What is the tallest tire I can fit on my truck once I install the leveling kit? I'm looking more for height, I like the width of the stock 275 55 20 tires. I will be installin the tires on the stock all terrain wheels. Any complaints with the RC 2" leveling kit on the newer trucks? I installed one on my '09 sierra when I had it and didn't have any problems.

275/60 with 2". I think you can do 275/65 if you do the 2.5".

If you like the stock width, you'd probably be safe to go with 275/60r20s or MAYBE 275/65r20s

Anyone having ball joint issues with the 2.5" kit? I have the 2" kit and am not happy with it. Going to add the other .5 inches soon and wondering if I will have issues with ball joints?

You'll be fine at 2.5" i wouldn't go any higher without doing a proper suspension lift.

Finally finished all the mods, here is some info for those looking for it.

 

- 2inch rough country leveling kit

- 305/55/20 Nitto Terra Grappler G2

- 20 inch Fuel Maverick Wheels with a 20mm Offset

 

And before any one asks, No rubbing on the fender lining and suspension at full lock. I also didn't trim a thing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nice looking truck! That's pretty much the exact same set up i'm looking to run. Any chance you could upload some more pics? Maybe one down the side, or from the front showing the stance? Thanks!

I know I asked before but didn't really get an answer.

 

Can I do Fox coilovers at Factory height and then use a spacer to get my level? I assume fox's would improve ride quality greatly but if they are too compressed they'd be stiff. Using a spacer on them might be the best of both worlds

2.5" lift, also came with a spacer to do 3" lift in the front. Then I put Firestone airbags in the back to adjust the ride height in the back when I haul/tow. Keep about 10psi in them and it lifted the back around 3/4-1" so I have a little rake in it. Tires to come here soon and maybe rims. Also thinking of doing a 1.5" body lift.

    • Holy s**t - not much of a parts thrower you say? You BLASTED that thing with the parts cannon!  You'd have been probably $1,000 ahead if you had just brought it to a competent shop rather than shotgunning a bunch of parts it clearly didn't need.   Just FYI - oil additives are really, REALLY good at ONE thing ... and that's emptying your wallet. They're ALL useless gimmicks.   If that has the L94 or L99, then #7 is an AFM cylinder. I'd suspect a failed lifter in that case.   If you leaned on wiring, sensors, and/or connectors while changing the oil, you'll have to check all that to be sure pins didn't get pulled out, connectors broken, etc.. Old wire loom that was barely adequate when new is certainly brittle by year 19 - make sure wires aren't chaffed and shorting out somewhere where you might have leaned. or supported yourself on it.   If your a mechanic, why didn't you just find out what you were missing and troubleshoot from there??  TIMED spark, fuel PSI / injector pulse, air, compression.  Can't make ANY money going the parts cannon route.
    • LOL! Are you joking?? That wax SUCKS! 100% gimmick made to "look" good.    After just TWO winters I had severe surface rusting in patches over 90% of the frame. Only reason it looks great in the pics is because I SATURATED the frame every single fall with used motor oil for 14 of the 16 years I owned it. Otherwise it would've been sent to the crusher 8 years earlier with the speed it was rusting prior!    I sold that POS 3 years ago. Was a gigantic headache the second it rolled off the showroom floor. Brakes pulsated on the TEST DRIVE. Door trim fell off the 1st week! Interior squeaked and rattled, and the drivetrain clunked after 2k miles. 4x4 switch failed shortly after. Front end - ball joints, struts, hub bearings - all failed between 38k-50k. Engine started burning oil at 50k. Rear and and transmission failed before 100k. Nothing but problems, and frustration with the piss-poor engineering designed to make you give up. Well, it worked! Nothing on that truck was easy to remove ... except the wheels. They haven't figured out how to screw that up yet. Give 'em time ...   I won't make that mistake again. EVER.   Such fond memories ... https://postimg.cc/K1qf23tS  https://postimg.cc/gallery/X02z64J  https://postimg.cc/gallery/mHSRXZv  https://postimg.cc/gallery/D4mMRfL
    • Different monitors do their test only under conditions specific to that monitor.  you MIGHT find the drive cycle conditions for the monitor that isn't ready on this site: https://lemon-manuals.la/   If it's not there, then it should be on alldata.com for your truck, but it requires a paid subscription.   And you need to know which specific monitor isn't ready.
    • from another thread   Update...although the truck sometimes seems to idle weird and the transmission shift a little weird, I've driven about 7,000  miles and no issues.   However, the way GM has handled my rental reimbursement, the situation when my truck quit, and the recall in general has led me to this point...I have driven a GM vehicle for the past 46 years and unless I buy a C3 Corvette, this is the last GM vehicle I will ever own.
