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.

    • 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.  
    • I always drive in Sport mode. With more driving, I am finding the initial response when accelerating is much quicker now🖕 Lou
