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?

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.

Mine is finally done! After months of research I went with the RC 2.5" level kit front only, stock rear block. 20"x9" Fuel Nutz w/ +1 offset, 33x12.50x20 Toyo M/T tires. No rubbing, No trimming, yet a

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

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.

      Well one of our most reliable vehicles was sold yesterday. The first and only I gave for free to a grandkid. If they got skin in the game they take care of it. My wife bought new. Five years later my daughter got it to use. We got it back and gave it to our grandson after graduation. He did zero maintenance just oil changes. When the AC quit he drove his mother’s car rather than get it fixed. Instead he just bought a beater and sold the Elantra.

      I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.

      What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.
