Yeah it's not the height of the tire, it's the width that cause a rub on the sway bar, control arm or fender. The height will usually only cause rub on the fender. 

yep, I agree. There's a large variance in what tires can fit each of these trucks, and every case seems to be different. I understand offset is critical here but one persons fitment is another persons nightmare it seems.

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.

Installed a MotoFab 2" level on my 2018 Sierra today. Took a little over 2 hours. Only ride difference is I can feel small bumps like a gravel road a little more. No difference on pavement. Love losing most of that factory rake. Will be looking into 33's at some point down the road.

Wonder why? 

 

Not sure. He had rub on the carpet liner. I had rub on the cab body mount. Strange because the wheel offset was identical. He was running 295/70/17 and I had to size down to 285/70/17. I still ended up with zip tied and trimmed ponders and mud flaps.

 

I also subject my truck to a workout off-road. Most of the individuals here who claim no rubbing are in a parking lot or doing a 3 point turn on flat ground. Different animal when your suspension is flexed.

I have 295/60/20 with a 2" level.   I have not gone rock crawling or anything like that, but I am in the dirt on jobsites at least a few times a week.  Sometimes on nicer dirt roads, and other times over piles of dirt, slopes, etc.  The only rubbing I can find is just on the sway bar at full lock.  Pretty much every GM that I have had with larger tires has rubbed there and it has never been an issue.  The tires come really close to the liners but there is no evidence of rubbing there yet.

Has anyone fit 285/75/r17s on a 2" level? I'm going to be doing bilsteins at the top setting and debating between 285/75 and 285/70

It all depends on offset and wheel width. What are you planning for wheels?

 

285/70/17 on 17x9 +6 on my truck with bilsteins @ 2" clears with no rubbing, it is close to the fender liner/flap  though.

285/70r17 at 0mm offset needed trimming to not rub at 3” of lift.

Rough Country 2" kit on my truck.  As measured, there is 1/4 inch of rake but, man, does it look high in the front.  Parked on even a very slight incline the nose definitely looks higher.   I am strongly considering the RC 2" rear block to eliminate this.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.

      Looking for this part for my truck. They don't sell just that one piece and to get it you have to pay over $100 even used for the whole air tube. The piece the hose clamp snaps into that is held on by the screw and nut. If anyone has access to one please let me know.
