Although I feel your post is extemely trolling ill entertain the fact you think it's a contradiction, you may want the level wheels and tires for hitting the trail and getting in the good ole mud hole or whatever you intend to use ur truck for. I however want the level wheels and tires because I think the look is very sharp looking and hay I dropped xxx amount of money on a truck why not make it exactly how I would like it to look. Hope that clears up the confusion

Yes I just simply said don't expect someone not to say something. You put M/T tires on a truck that won't touch "mud". No one is saying you didn't spend that money but if someone says something when you say no it hasn't went in mud.

Just to clear up some confusion and not waste anymore of our fellow forum members time. I am looking at a 2.5" level with a 20x9 +1 wheel, and would like to know what A/T tire size I can go with (such as the terra grappler G2's just as an example of an A/T tire) with out having to do much trimming and/or none at all, on my 2015 1500 HC

Where are you getting 450-550 for leveling? An rc 2" is $49.

So far i have called 4 places locally here in MT (2 tire shops and 2 custom shops) and thats where their prices are ranging. I havent talked to the dealer yet, may wait on one of those flyers they keep sending out thats 15%off accessories

Those off-topic interjected opinions to simply pass judgement on others will almost always cause confusion and waste time. We can get back on topic, with the 2.5" level and that offsite, I'd still look at the 305/55/20 if you want widest and tallest you can fit with the possibility of a little rubbing with the +1 offset. Although, you might be able to squeeze something taller but narrower in there. All depends on that rim offset you choose. That's what really will determine the size of tire you can run. Check stores or online retailers that specialize in wheel tire combos and give them a call. You'd be surprised on what they can determine over the phone or email. Also, take a look at the 2014+ Wheel and Tire Setup topic here: http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/161228-post-your-2014-wheeltire-set-up/?st=0 Might give you good look at what to expect with that offset and size. I know there's some guys on there running that rim with A/Ts. Just a question of their lift/level after that.

 

FYI, The most popular A/T tires I found being ran on here when I was researching them seem to be: BF Goodrich All-Terrain KO2, Toyo A/T II, or Nitto Terra Grapplers G2s.

 

Hope all that helps. Hopefully someone with knowledge on or running that wheel offset with the a 2.5" level can throw in some valuable info.

I have the ready lift 2 1/4 front leveling kit installed on my 15 Denali. I also had the Dealership install the sensor kit to get the magnetic ride to function properly. Now it rides like my wife's 2015 Yukon Denali ~K€.

If you have a jack and basic sockets and a lil mechanical knowledge it's real easy. With alignment and parts I was only out 75 bucks.

 

If you don't have the tools, great time to start take that hundreds saved and buy you a jack and socket set.

Installed mine today. Wasn't bad at all. First side was about an hour figuring what bolts had to come out vs just being loosened. Lol. Second side was 20 mins. Man it looks so much better. Got exactly 2" of lift in the front. Getting my alignment tomorrow.

Here is my truck with 1.5" level kit with 285/55/20 Terra Grapplers and factory mudflaps.

 

What manufacturer level kit did you go with? Was it Ready Lift by chance?

Does anybody know if you need longer rear shocks once you do a level kit, a kit with larger rear blocks of course. Or will it be okay only raising 1"

You'll be OK. I have a 2 inch block in mine and all fine. As far as I read even going w a 3 inch rear block would still be ok

Lol none of that i have. But youre def right im sure itd save me a lot in the long run for things that are DIY doable/fixable. At the same time I always worry about things that arent 100% cosmetic that are done outside of a business in case something happens ya know.

    • I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.     
    • Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.  
    • The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.  
    • Yes your absolutely right, I been looking at the 4 inch BDS one and it acutely states you can use the stock 20’s just not the 17’s or 18’s, I also didn’t realize that with my 275/60r20 stock wheels I’m already running 33 inch diameter wheel setup lol so I can just run my stock wheels and tires atleast to start.
    • I would expect that to be lift-kit dependent.  If the kit has interference issues w stock wheels, then the kit/manufacturer should indicate that somewhere.
