Out of all the pics i've seen, I think this look is my favorite. One of the other poster said it give it a beefy look. I'm sorry for the ignorance but if I wanted a similar look but not that big of tires, what would be the next best option. I'd like 20 inch rims on it but I just dont know too much about tire sizes and offset. I dont want any rubbing nor trimming.


Offset is the measurement from the the back where the bolt pater is to the back of the rim.
Negative offset sticks out, plus is closer to the frame.

When it comes to size of tires 33/12.50 r anything will all be 33 tall 12.50 wide but 305/55r20 is bigger than 305/55r17 a16166d95661b19980199560fa408aea.jpg3c2edc7885f8b48613a7d5538e6bfb17.jpg

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.

Just had my new 33x12.5R20s Haida Mud Champs installed and had the balancing beads thrown in. No running or trimming I also put my gatorback mud flaps back on as well with no rubbing. 20171023_173039.thumb.jpg.ffe2e41a2f4ebe6712c1cba1876e8aae.jpg

That's what I call a nice looking truck!  I'm looking to do something similar to my Denali.  Did you need to add wheel spacers to the set up or aftermarket upper control arms?

Thanks guy! She's stock. No spacers or aftermarket control arms. Has a a flush stance or just tucked. I don't know if it makes a difference at all but I have the Alumnium control arms.

well then,  33x12.50R20's may be just what I'll do when the time comes for mine.

Ya with the 2.5" Rough Country it rides good. Little stiff but it's nothing extreme. I like the Haida Mud Champs So far too! Not to loud but still have a good look. $990 + Tax for 4 couldn't beat that

The rough country 2 in level goes between lower control arm and strut. Is it alright for durability etc?

It's a composite material. Seems pretty durable. Time will tell. I've only had mine a very short while. I'm sure someone on this forum can comment long term.

I believe I'll be ordering 20x9 Fuel Mavericks tomorrow along with 275/65/20 tires. Wanted a skinny tire around 33.8"-34.2" tall and that seems to fit the bill perfectly. Currently running a 2" BDS level on a 2015 Crew Cab 4WD.

Prepared to to trim
The valance and/or fender liners but do not want to have to cut/hammer metal.

Based on my tire choice and 20x9; which offset do you guys recommend? I have the choice between +1, +14 or +20....

How much rubbing do you have with the 295 width? Are your wheels a 0 offset?

not exactly sure on the offset but i have no rubbing issue and no trimming

Is this different than a basic 2” level? What’s the rear block part?

I have the 2" level and put 275/65/20 on with no rub issues whatsoever. I had to zip tie the rear of the front liners but that's no big deal. You will run into problems when you start trying to go wider with the Factory 20s.



55 (stock) compared to 65’s can’t be much a difference with the same 275 height right?! How about some 285/65’s on the stock 20’s and a level?

Ok. So 285 is slightly wider than the 275?

I’m wondering what’ll be more cost effective. A 285/60/20 or (as shop recommended) a 275/60/20. Maybe they said 65...?!

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By DaleB · Posted

      Hi all - my current truck is a 2022.5 1500 High Country 3.0. I bought the truck used last year. After doing some digging, I noticed that my truck's software is stuck on the original build from 2022. I have no available software updates. I talked to my dealer about this and they recommended not trying to force an update since the 36,000 mile warranty is expired. This is a big bummer since there have been many major releases since that have fixed small issues and improved speed/usability.   For reference, the current software build number is: full_gminfo37_gb-user 10 W158E-W164.4.2-QIH22B-563.3 158 release-keys Has anyone had a similar experience? Should I just forget about it and move on, or try a different dealer?

      Using zip ties but 2-3 they snap due to sharp edges. Just using a shoestring. Last longer. 🤣

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      I ordered the Snap On...waiting for it to come in later this week or early next week.   New front cover, new crank seal and new balancer are on. Water pump, pulley, fan, hoses, and plastics reinstalled. I can move forward knowing all my timing marks are dead on and the front engine is hopefully sealed better than it was. Take 2 with the water pump...trying high temp thread sealer on the lower bolts.   Rebuilt injector and new-new regulator is in, it looks like new. Top intake reassembled and all the bits are reconnected and snugged down.   Thinking about knock sensors again, I located both of mine and, there's your problem, Francis... The driver's side one is broke, plastic is bashed in, part of the wire is bare, and it appears to have been damaged like that for a long time. I saw the wire but didn't think anything of it. The knock sensor might not be my pulled timing issue, but it sure looks suspect. It must still be conducting, otherwise I'd expect a CEL. But perhaps with its sacred crystal inside exposed, jilted and dirty, maybe it's sending mixed signals. So I'm waiting for one of those and a new pigtail to come in. Pass side sensor looks good, except for the spark plug wire resting on it (!). The plug wires are healthy so it shouldn't be causing an issue, but I separated them and added zip ties to nearby looms to keep everything well apart.   So, I'm down to installing a knock sensor AND, oh, replacing the exhaust and cat. I actually think that's going to be fairly easy, it's all bolt-together, all new stuff from Walker is laid out on the shop floor ready to go. Hopefully have this thing on the road again for the weekend.   My luck? It will still be leaking oil, coolant, pulled timing, intermittent CEL for running rich, or it probably won't run at all -- because that's how this project has gone.   I've never worked on a vehicle so ...hurt? ...cursed? in my life. Everything has been effed with SO HARD, but I think...knock on wood...I've managed to undo all the backyard stuff and we're almost reset back to "just" an 80k mile, 30 year old Blazer.

      Would this CV Shaft be bad?

      Yes. You need to check out that thing, and the hub further.
