Where are y'all buying tires after leveling your trucks? I spoke to 4 Wheel Parts (yes, I know that stink) and they were extremely adamant that 275/65/20 would not fit. I do not believe them due to the countless members on this forum that are running them. They looked at me as if I was crazy and said they would require a lot of cutting.

 

Just trying to find a store that will mount bigger tires.

Did you install the rear blocks with the kit? Are those the stock tires in the picture? I'm wanting to order my kit now, just trying to decide on what tire to buy.

On any of the new body GM's you can put a 60 dollar 2 inch leveling kit and put on a 295/55/20 tire with ZERO trouble, iv got Nittos on mine in that size and haven't trimmed anything and haven't made any adjustments to fenders or anything, tell them just order the tires you want and if they feel like they don't want your money there's plenty of other tire shops that do

I know this question is asked all the time... And will probably get brushed under the rug... But I just want opinions on what tire size is best for fit, looks, and price for the truck. I was heavily involved in the car scene and decided I wanted a truck and there are a lot more factors that come in play with trucks. I bought a RC 2" leveling kit for $49 and I am installing soon. Won't be buying tires until I have the kit installed. I really like the look of the 33" toyo MTs but can't convince myself to spend the $400 a tire. I like the longevity and reviews of the ko2 but want a more aggressive look. Any opinions or input? In all reality... I drive city and highway and don't really NEED a mt tire or really NEED 33s, but like the same aggressive look. I will be using the stock 20" LT rims that came with the truck

I have to KO2's and really like them. Once you get them on your truck they look more aggressive than you would think, and for highway driving they are really quiet.

I had a coworker install my 2.5 Rough Country kit today. I can not figure out if he installed the top spacer. I am measuring ~38.5 in the front and ~39.75 in the rear. I have also attached a picture of the threads of one of the top bolts. Does it look like the top spacer is on there?

Looks correct. You can't really see top spacer, as its thin. Also there would be threads showing if it wasn't installed.

It's on there can't really see it but there would be threads showing on the studs like stated before!

I am currently in the process of deciding what rims and tires to get for my truck as well. I installed a 2" Zone leveling kit, and I am going to get 20x9 Fuel Hostage, and I finally decided to go with the Deegan 38. It has an aggressive look and is under $300 per tire, plus reviews are great for on road, off road, and in the rain and mud. i also like the look of the toyo MTs but the price puts them out of the picture. Good Luck

just got my Silverado the other week. this past Saturday night my neighbor and I installed the rough country 2.5 kit along with the new wheels. started around 8 finished at midnight. We took our time and enjoyed some silver bullets during the process. Love the result, exactly what I was looking for. seemed like a quality product and install was fairly easy. I have been wrenching on muscle cars since I was 15 ( currently 31) and this was my first "lift/level kit" had a few beater trucks in the past, always wanted a nice Silverado but could never ever live without a GM V8 car. finally got to a point in life where I could have both!

Anybody out there have or know if the Weathertech mud flaps will work with 275/65/20's on a 2.5" level ?

Thanks

 

I'd like to know this as well. Judging by pics it's gonna be really close, I have these mudflaps and am looking at putting the exact same size tires on.
