Anyone fit 295/70/17 on a 2" level? Not many pics online and trying to see how they look compared to 285/70/17

You may be able to go down to your local tire shop and compare. I was able to do that with my 285/70/17. I was gonna go 285/75/17 but not for the price difference. The assistant manager got a few different tires sizes and brands and we compared them on my truck. Of course I have a 3/2 level so I could have gone bigger but the 285/70s look nice.

With stock wheels and minor trimming. With aftermarket wheels be prepared to start cutting.

Wouldn't a 0 offset put them out farther than the positive offset from the factory, and therefore rub less on suspension parts?

And therefore rub more on your fenders

Yes, a 0 offset would put them farther away from the suspension components....but that will also mean that they're closer to the fenders (or inner fender carpet liners) when you turn the wheels. Wheel offset will change the arc they travel when turning.

Makes sense. I'm going to try a 295/70/17 with an RC 2" level, will report back how it goes at the end of may

Here is my truck after the dealer installed a 2.25” level. Put some 285/70/17 Mickey Thompson P3’s on it.

That's Motofab is what I've been looking at getting for mine. You like it and would recommend?

Would highly recommend it. Great customer service. Fast shipping (ordered on a Wednesday night and had it Friday). High quality and at $75 you can't go wrong. ??

    • I have a 2016 that I bought new and still own. I'm around 129,000 miles now. The biggest problem was a transmission failure about 2 years ago around 95000 miles. No warning, just failed while driving down a back road. A reman GM transmission installed and it's been fine ever since. A few other minor problems along the way. I am in no hurry to replace it. It's been paid off long ago and do plan on driving this as long as I can.   I will admit I am leery about all the additional electronics in the newer models and feel that it is just more potential problems. I think there's actually more than I would have wanted in this 2016 but so far so good. I think even if something major like lifter failure happened, it would still be cheaper to at worst, drop a new engine in than buy a new vehicle. 
    • I’ve own several successful businesses. I’ve bought homes and lived in different states. I’d witness several generations buy homes and survive in different economic circumstances. You get awful sippy when people have different experiences than you do. You live a life. I’ve lived a life. It seems our experience has been different. You can point out generalized statistics. Some people learn how to thrive when the odds are against them. Living in different states does make a difference in a persons quality of life and economic outcomes and opportunities. That’s a fact Jack. It’s my truth, my life. Hard work and long hours the right environment made my families life easier. And yes moving to a different state increased the odds of that happening. Stats are generalized. People who thrive don’t make excuses. They beat the odds. Others get mad and point to those statistics. I guess that’s you. My post pointed out how you helped people beat the odds. Somehow your panties got in a wad. Go figure. 
    • Good question, I don't remember for sure but I believe it was the HD. I will check and get back to you.
    • Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling what the government, your government, data shows.   It wasn't an argument. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of FACT. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.    fact /făkt/   noun Knowledge or information based on real occurrences. "an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy." Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. "Genetic engineering is now a fact.

    • Probably a one and done post, but do you have a CEL on the dash? Was having issues with my transmission, fortunately only a week, and it turned out to be the transmission harness. Valve body was in good shape, so new harness with all the sensors attached, new fluid, and filter. Seems to have worked so far?
