2014+ Leveling Kits

GRH519 · August 8, 2016

I'm new to the site and forum. Working on a new project, I spent probably 8 hours looking threw all the awesome trucks on this site before I asked any questions. I'm not going as big this time it seems like the 2.5" lifts have a bunch of different tire sizes and off sets. I'd like to stay with the OEM Denali wheels (20x9 +27 offset or 6.06 back spacing) I'd like to go with the RC 3.5" suspension lift I've already posted. I'm hoping for some help on a tire size for this combo. The new Nitto Ridge Grapplers look pretty sweet but there limited on sizes. If anyone can help I'd really appreciate it!!!!! Thanks

How wide do you want to go?

And how tall?

You should be pretty close to being able to fit a pretty large tire in there if you trim the fender liner.

I'm soon putting on a 2" level on my 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 SLT. I'm going to go with 285/55/20. Now I'm just trying to decide on which tire.

1. BF Goodrich A/T KO2

or

2. Nitto Terra Grappler G2

I'm here in Texas, only off-road I will be doing is rarely in the sand on the beach but it's essentially a mute point as either tire will do the trick. Mostly city/highway. Any pros/cons on determining which tire to go with? Or more of a look? Price is $90.00 more total for Nitto, so I am not concerned about the money. Ideally safety in rain,ride quality, sound, etc is what I am looking for.

Thanks!

Yeah! Agreed!

Like the new truck BTW!

You buy it from Brown's? A buddy of mine is the GM up there!

No sir, I bought it here in Amarillo st Greg Lair. Thanks your truck looks good too! Edited August 8, 2016 by techsan15

Newby question, want to lift truck for some 305' on 20" stock wheels.

I own a 2016 2wd SLT crew.... don't think I need anything in back, but don't want rubbing in front, what do you suggest?

Sorry over 200 pgs to scan through

I went ahead and pulled the trigger on the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2

I liked the look a little better, had good success years ago with BFG. Figured both were good. My main tire shop (Discount Tire Co.) both had service guys tell me the BFG seems like better tire. Less problems they see. Who know....

2" level kit being installed tomorrow, and 285/55/20 BFG on Wednesday! Can't wait.

I'm thinking up to a 34" and maybe 12" or less wide. My only concern is the stock Denali wheels with a -27 on the offset. I was hoping someone might have tried this set up. There's lots of tire options to choose from, I'm trying to fill the wheel well with the tire and not get super tall with the body. Thanks for the feedback

Could go with a 275/65/20

I know there are quite a few people on here running those with no issues.

275/65 are 34x11. Stock wheels are +27 btw. Big difference in - and + offset.

Ya I seen I put -27 instead of +27 after I typed it. I know all of the tire sizes but I'm guessing no one has tried the set up I'm wanting to try to know what tire size will fit with that +27 offset and a 3.5" RC lift? I think I'm going to try 295x60Rx20's and see what happens.

They'll fit. I'm running them on a 2.5" level with no rubbing on stock +27 High Country rims.

Awesome!!!! Thx I'd love to see a pic of your truck. I'm hoping to get a good look out of this truck and not be as high as my last truck in my profile picture. It was a 7" lift and 35" Mickey Thompson Baja Claws. Thanks again!!!

Thank you!!! You truck looks sweet it's exactly the look I want not to high but definitely not stock. I might try the new Nitto Ridge Grapplers when they're available and come out with the deminsions of the 20's so I know the exact size.
