whats up new in here, just got my 2015 Tungsten Silverado double cab LT. Want to throw on some Fox 2.0 IFP leveling shocks. I believe those are good for 2.25 level. Wondering if +31 offset wheels will rub with 295/55/20 or 305/55/20. Anyone input much appreciated!!! Thanks

 

I have a 2014 Silverado z71, has a 2 inch leveling kit, and has 285/45/22 with stock rims that are a +31 offset. That is a 32.3. there is plenty of room left so you should be good with a 33''.

After reading most of these posts this is what I went with on my 2014 Silverado High Country.

2.25 Ready Lift Level

20x9 Fuel Nutz Rims +20 offset

33x12.50x20 Toyo MT tires

 

Looks Good. I am currently in the process of ordering wheels and can't seem to decide to go with a +20 or -1 offset with a 20x9. How far do your tires stick out past the fender?

+20 puts the tires right in line with the fender. -1 is going to stick out past.

So...what's the verdict then on leveling kits with magnetic suspension on my 2016 Denali? Do I need a specific kit? I know I want a 2" level, but no clue what route to go on manufacturer. Help!

I'm in the same boat and been trying to find answers. Only option I know made specifically for the Denali is Suspensionmaxx.

Thanks for the reply. how much backspacing do you have? and do they rub at all? Thanks

Yeah I even asked the dealer and they had no clue. If you find a clear answer, please PM me! I'm not buying anything until I have a good understanding of what works and doesn't work.

Back spacing is the same as offset so not sure what your getting at. But there is no rub at all with +20 offset and 33x12.50 tires.

Backspace is the measurement from where the wheel mounts to the outer edge of the wheel on the mounting side should be around 5.79 inches on a 20x9 +20 offset

Here's a better pic of my truck. Bilstein 5100s on the highest setting and 285/70r17 bfg a/t ko2s.

I like it..... Looks very good, simple yet elegant.

Thanks. I really just wanted it to be more competent off road since I use my truck in the forest a lot and a lot of the forest roads are for high clearance vehicles. Now I'll only scrape on some stuff instead of all of it.

I put the 2.5" Readylift level on my '15 AllTerrain with a 3" block in the back. I'm running 275/65-20 BFG KO2's with no rubbing issues. Oh, they r on the stock 20x9 all terrain rims.

    • I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose      
    • Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)    
    • Ok, I got the all the codes. What do you all think would be a place to start?
    • How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
