How does it drive now with those wheels

 

I don't find much of a difference than with the stock goodyears.

This afternoon I parked near a truck very similar to mine at the local mall. The key difference is that this other truck was leveled and had wheels and tires that maximized the space in the wheel wells. The truck looked fantastic! It made mine look like I was sporting four portable spare tires! My stock tires are 255/70r/17 and I plan to go to 265/70r/17 Michelin LTX/MS when I have my level kit installed. I know there isn't much of a difference but it is a much more popular size (less expensive) and they are at least a little bigger! Is if there anyone going with a larger tire on a 17" wheel with a 6cyl 4x4 Crew and not experiencing huge increases in gas consumption? Maybe 285/70r/17??

Your truck looks great! Is this a 4.3 L and if so, what was the original tire size? Thanks.

a extra set of leafs in the back because it looks higher in the front.

I think you're talking to me? If so, thanks! It's a 5.3L.

OEM tire size is 275/55/20. I just wanted a little more. They're flush to the fenders/quarters.

I imagine you didn't experience any changes in your mpg with such a minor change. I am guessing that if I was to go to a 285 from a 255 with my 4.3 L it would be reflected in my mpg quite significantly.

Looks good. Which specific bilstein did you get? I'm assuming the 5100 adjustable ride height. The reason I ask, is because I've gone to autoanything and 4wheelparts and both say that the adjustable ride height shocks don't fit my 2015 crew cab 4x4.

I wanted to do the exact same thing. I got the Rough Country 2' level and put 305/65/18 BFG All Terrains on my truck. No rubbing at all - it looked great. So a 2.5" level should work great.

So you got 2" level running 305/65/18 and no rubbing at all? stock or Aftermarket wheels?Any chances you got pics?

I know they say they dont fit but they do. 24-238304 and 33-238319 are the correct part numbers

Well that's strange because they're on my 2015!

What are the differences between the two part numbers?
