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....

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...?!

      Breaking News!    I'm going to tell you that I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I told  you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I'm about to tell you on the other side of the break.  Then we're going to break. Then I'm not going to tell you what I told you I was going to tell you.  But I'll tell you something else that is Breaking News just coming to the desk that everyone reported on yesterday.  Then I'll tease a human interest telling I'll get to on the other side of a larger break. Then I'll tell you one item in 20 seconds and go back to an even longer break. Longest break of the night.  Then I'll tell you a fluff piece that takes 10 seconds and sign off into a three minute break while you wait for the next 30 minutes of rinse and repeat on the local news.    In al you'll get about 12 minutes of something, 5 minutes of which is worth hearing in a 30 minute show and 18 minutes of advertising at a sound level twice as loud as the news.    Of course you can switch to cable news and hear 12 different people tell the same four stories in much the same format as the Network News for 20 hours of which the majority will be advertising.  And four hours of late night Specials about things you wonder why you stayed up to listen to. Half of which will be repeats.....   OR you can go for a drive

      Audio Dampening and quiet

      By Afennell19 · Posted

      Did you ever figure this out? My 2022 Trail Boss, and now my 2026 LT did this from time to time.  I believe it was more connected to Android Auto and my phone being the cause. Maybe try going for a drive, sans cell phone.... and see if it happens?

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By Afennell19 · Posted

      I have a 2026 Silverado LT, the non bose as well.  Upgrading the door speakers is pretty straightforward. You could honestly go to walmart, or Auto Zone/ O Reilly and get a set of 6x9s for the front, and 6.5s for the rear. You do also have to get some adapters for each, but they are like $10 a pair on Amazon. Then some plug and play harnesses that are about $10 a pair on Amazon as well.  And I would also suggest a 10 pack of the Amazon Basics sound deadening. Slap that all around the speakers and on the open metal of the inside of the door. And your golden.   I am currently doing this with my Silverado. Although I am having a bit of trouble because I am snooby I guess and bought some Alpine S2 S69c's which are 2 way components and I am having to wire from the door up to the dash....  Having never installed speakers before, its taking me just a bit to get everything correct. But if you dont buy expensive component speakers, and just some $40-$50 door speakers. You will DRASTICALLY improve the sound over these stock paper cone junk speakers. I thought my Silverado had an issue with the radio/ sound for a while.  Come to find out.  The stock speakers are just THAT SH*TTY   I cannot wait to have some decent sound in the truck   What did you end up doing?

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By newdude · Posted

      Its all automatic based on yaw sensor data.  If enough incline is detected, it engages.   My recommendation though would be to disengage it before driving off and not let it auto disengage by touching the gas pedal.  The HD trucks use the same setup as prior years, the drum in hat park brake.  But now with an electric actuator.  If you drive off repeatedly over time, it can torque the park brake shoes and can also prematurely wear them out.           Electric console shift will set the park brake on flat ground too.  Pretty sure they've got it programmed to activate every time.
