...  But the BFGs really do look good on our trucks.  

I agree...i fall into the category that I need my AT tires about 5 times a year(maybe more, but they are all hunting related)...the rest I could just have hw tires...but the 5 times I need them...i NEED them...

 

Michelin makes a fantastic tire and I put them on my wife's vehicle...

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.

I just put a 2.5 in leveling kit on my 2015. Do y’all think I’ll have to trim to try and fit 285/75/17 with methods? 


I’m thinking of doing the same, let me know what you come up with. There was someone on here that did it with bilsteins which are 1.85”, don’t remember the username though

trying not to hijack this thread, but in looking at the KO2s, is it worth $80 to go up to a 275/60 over the factory 275/55?  It looks like Costco is running a promo on BFGs as well.  Trying to figure out if there's really any real benefit to just an 1" taller tire?

i prefer an 18" rim on 4x4...having said that...for 20's i would recommend as much rubber as you can fit...more comfortable ride...

With money being the way it is, I decided to just go with the 275/55s and put the additional money towards an alignment after i get them installed.  i was also worried that Costco would freak out about installing a non oem listed size.

So here are after pic's.  I went with larger Toyo Open Country's on the stock rims.  I am really loving it, but may bump the back an inch.

Hi everyone! I don’t post a lot but have an important question? I see a lot of ppl saying 275/60r20 works fine with a stock a suspension (no rubbing). I have an 18 with a 2.5 level and just ordered some BFG kos 275/65/20.....answers seem to vary but should I expect an type of rubbing? Wheels are stock atm.

2.5” motofab leveling kit with Ready lift UCAs, 20x9 Moto Metals wrapped w/ 33” nittos 

Nice setup!what offset are those rims? Any rub? I’m also looking at the Ready loft UCA. Question I have is how much offset should I run with 20” rims? Website says +6 with a 33” tire for no rub. Does that mean I can run less than +6 and be ok? Say 0 or -12. Appreciate any info.

I got +18 offset, I would say they stick out about 1-2” from the fenders, they do rub on the UCAs at full lock, (slightly) but they do not rub in the wheel wells, I also didn’t cut my bump stops, but I’m going to and I can get back to you if they still rub on the UCAs, I also want to try MotoFabs UCAs they’re brand new and made for their leveling kits, they might not rub on the UCAs

On my 2018 and when it was leveled, 2.25” level up front will allow a +18 offset wheel with 285/60/20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers without requiring new UCA’s but did require zip ties on the fender liner. I also replaced the rear 1” with a 2” and installed new Bilstein 5100’s. Looked good but Rode harsh.

      I'm looking at carpal tunnel surgery on my left hand and lumbar fusion.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      While waiting for parts I have been working on installing the AC compressor, new accumulator, and orifice tube. Also changed out the high side ball valve (original). The orifice tube that was in there wasn't too bad. Slightly dirty, a little bit of junk, but not blocked. Glad I changed it out.   The accumulator, which should have been a 5 minute job, may have just burned $50. Put some PAG in it, wrote the date and mileage on the side, fresh o-rings and gooey'd up the threads and rings with Nylog. Got everything connected and snugged and was going to vacuum down the system, and....   My manifold gauge won't fit on the port. It's not an R12 service port. It LOOKS like an R134 service port but the diameter is a hair too large. There's a sticker on the accumulator that says it's designed to be used with R12 and R134a systems only. So it's not R1234yf. Even if I reduced the diameter slightly with a file, the shoulder on the port is too large so the quick-connect valve won't lock on. I'm stumped. It's going back, and 50/50 on if they'll give me a refund.   Also, I did a fuel pressure test.... Key on, the gauge spikes to about 60psi and quickly bleeds off, like 2psi per second. The fuel isn't going into the plenum, no smell, starts fine, so I'm guessing there's a bad check valve in the pump and the fuel is just draining back into the tank. oh, hell. But, it shouldn't be a problem, pump primes just fine and the truck starts right up. It just means I can't really ever use fuel pressure to verify a leak at the injector or intake.

      SERCICE ESC message?

      Got this yesterday out of nowhere. Truck is a 25',6.6 gasser with 8k miles.  Only semi anomaly is that the truck had been sitting, uncranked for 6 days. Elec Stability Control showed immediately upon cranking, not while driving. No drivability issues, just the message. Battery didn't seem to be weak when cranking over.  I drove it, killed it, let it sit a few hrs with no avail.  Truck is 100% stock. No damage.

      This can be done.  It is not cheap and requires an instrument cluster swap with custom programming, new steering wheel with the controls on it, and a special jumper harness.   The cluster upgrade - 12.3” Digital Cluster Upgrade – 2022.5–2026 Silverado / Sierra (T1 Refresh Pickup) - WAMS   The wheel upgrade - Steering Wheel Upgrade Kit – 2022.5–2026 Silverado / Sierra (T1 Refresh Pickup) - WAMS   The column harness upgrade - 2019 - 2026 Silverado / Sierra: Steering Wheel LIN Bus Harness - Harness Dr. - DIY Done Right     The problem with doing all of this?  You pretty much can't have any programming done to your truck that involves the cluster ever again.  The dealer won't be able to program the cluster as GM's system will only pull data for the cluster the truck came with.  So it would be advised also to turn off over the air updates.   TLDR;  Should have bought an LT double cab?  You'd have a power seat, the wheel controls, the cluster, all things that you've been seeking in your various posts so far about your new WT regular cab.
