Anybody running a 2" or 2.5" without rear blocks and 20x10 -24 with 305/50? What kind of issues would I be looking at?

Posted

from what I read there would be rubbing that would require trimming and or zip tying fenders etc. I was thinking about going with that set up but it seemed risky

I have 2015 GMC Sierra z71 package. If I just put 2 inch RC leveling kit on the front. Can I put Bfg All terrains KO2 275/65 r20 on truck without rubbing. Thanks new to forum.

Not sure as I have 18's but if you search you will find the answer. Got pics of your truck?

I saw a new ford running 275 70 18 Toyo MT's and thought they looked pretty good, so I did a little research. Toyo has them listed as a 33x11 and rimzoneonline has them as 33.6x11. If I were to guess from looking at the ones on the ford I'd say they were 33.6in. Is anyone running that diameter tire or close on a 2.5in level? I currently have a 1.5in level and was thinking I could add a 1.25 or 1.5in body lift to get me a little more clearance than a 2.5in level. I would put them on 18x9 with 0 offset. Any help would be great, Thanks!

just did the 2.5 RC level/lift on my 15 Z71 crew cab. 20x9 fuel wheels with +1 offset and 305/50/20 toyo's. no rub, actually there is room I could have run 305/55's, but I didn't want to mess up the speedo on a truck with 500 miles among other reasons.

 

install was a breeze, although having someone to help and taking your sweet time made it easy and enjoyable. I can see how rushing could make this install suck.

 

+1 offset sticks out just enough to look good and have a nice lip. Looking back if I could have found a wheel I like in say -12 I might have gone that route, but -24 was just too much IMO for a daily driver brand new truck although it does look good on some folks setup.

I am running 275/70/18's on mine with a 2" level with no issues whatsoever.

Do you think a 20x10 would fit ok with the 305/50?

I currently have 275 60's and I am looking at going taller myself. My 2.5" level lift should be sufficient for that size, and I would think yours also.

I have the rough country 2" leveling kit ready to be installed, but I'm concerned how the truck will look once the leveling kit is installed and when I pull my 28' travel trailer. I dont want to be one of "those people" that looks like their TT is too heavy for their truck and makes the rear look saggy...

I have a 2" level on mine as well and looking at this exact same setup. Was wondering the same thing.

    • I agree.   However, the owner's manual, suggests that a drop over full is just as bad as a drop under. (Read black and white letters only, insert no common sense.)
    • That P0700 and loss of power suggests something significant is amiss to me.   More/other codes may suggest otherwise; I would investigate those prior to spending the money to change fluid on a transmission with a bad torque converter.    The relatively sudden escalation of symptoms to me suggests that something began failing (initial shuddering experienced) and rapidly deteriorated (slipping/loss of power). Fluid condition alone wouldn't cause the sudden escalation of problems - though it might have been the cause of the deterioration up to the point of failure.
    • Stabilitrack operation is in a sense a separate/independent operation from the operation of 'traction control'. Stabilitrack is used to keep the vehicle traveling in the DIRECTION intended, it can brake independent wheels and or adjust throttle to influence the direction the vehicle is moving.   This can be illustrated by a 'fish-tailing' example. At high speeds, if the stabilitrack detects excessive yaw (the vehicle spinning like a top, it has a sensor for this), based on inputs from steering angle it determines that the vehicle is spinning out of control, and begins working to control that unintended spin. By reducing throttle input or braking specific wheels to control or prevent the spin.   The traction control works similarly using the ABS system to slow spinning wheels and thus transfer power to 'other' wheels. The goal being to achieve wheel speeds that are all in agreement with each other, the truck then assumes that since all the wheels speeds are the same no spinning is occurring. For example, launching up a wet boat ramp, there is no excessive yaw present, traction control alone can manage the wheel spin by braking spinning wheels and cutting throttle.   Stabilitrack and traction control from a hardware and software standpoint are basically one in the same, I don't remember specifically in 2004, but you couldn't get a truck with one and not the other. The switch on the dash, could turn off the traction control, but not necessarily the stabilitrack.    A confusing comment about stabilitrack vs. traction control, the same components serve both operations, but marketing could advertise them as two separate features.    The AWD system is another separate system entirely, in addition to the other two, it uses the same wheel speed inputs but can also vary the transfer case clutch application to direct some power to the front axle, working in conjunction with the traction control to bring wheel speeds together.   The power split will never be greater than 50:50, the same as 4-high. It will never direct MORE power to the front axle than the rear.
    • Not based on the new photos I'm seeing.  Car and Driver posted additional photos that shows an auto stop start button left of the steering wheel.      
    • Car and Driver is reporting wireless CarPlay WILL remain, and they posted several additional photos, including a left knee shot, but the only hard buttons there are e-brake, auto start stop, tailgate and cargo light.  Also definitely looks like High Country and ZR2 get micro fiber on the center of the console lid and the ZR2 possibly also on the seats.
