For a brief period I ran stock 22x9 +31 wheels 285/50R22 tires which is bigger than a 33, with 1.5" wheels spacers on a 2.5" level and didn't rub.

 

It's not exactly what you wanted but close

Probably better than anything else I'll get, I don't know many people that run spacers and only found stuff on the NNBS. Thanks, I feel like it'll give a decent stance but still be practical with that setup.

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 can't remember his name but there is a member running 4" lift oem 22s 285/45 stock Bridgestones with 2" wheel spacers on his Denali

Very nice truck sir ^ makes me wish I got black. I swear it's a love hate thing with that color haha..

 

Anyways, might be a longshot but any guys running 33's with 2" spacers on stockers? I know the 33's will clear on stock wheels with a leveling kit but not sure how much of a difference those spacers will make.

DEFINITELY a love/hate kind of thing..

Any photos out there with 295/70/18 tires mounted and leveled?

I don't think you'll swing it on a 1500 with 2.5" level, possibly a 3"...but it would be a trial. On stock offset people are rubbing with 275/70/18 on 2.5" kits

Was going to say the same, that tire is almost the same width as stock tires. People aren't rubbing with 295/55/20 stock offset. 33x12.5x20 or 305/55/20 might be a different story.

No I haven't really noticed any stiffer ride, maybe slightly but not too noticeable. It amazes me the height of the truck now just from 2.5", hoping in the truck, sitting in the truck. I love it

Hey buddy that is the same lift/tire setup I was looking at. I am thinking about adding the Zone 1-1/2" body lift too. Could you measure your ground to fender height for me.

 

Thanks

I'm away at work for 5 more days, I'll try and remember to measure and get back to you. I'm guessing you'll need the 2.5", although I left the upper strut spacers off, so I probably didn't get the full 2.5" level in the front. I highly recommend these tires and setup. I love the looks and the improved traction. I live in AK so I do a lot of winter driving obviously. I work in the oilfield at the north slope of AK and most of our F250's up here run these tires for good reason.

Yeah sorry my bad, I may be mistaken here. I believe one person complained of rubbing the fender liner is all.

 

You can now throw the rocks at me :ughdance:

No worries :) bud, was just letting the guy know he could probably fit 275/70/18 though i think he asked about 295/70/18, in which it would probably rub even with a 2.5" level though i doubt the offset would be the cause. Cousin has an 09 with an RC 2.5 running 295/70/18 or whatever the equal size is in a 17" rim. He rubs a little in the front and back of the wheel well which he had to trim some, but is using stock offset.

Well I finally dropped some coin on a set of new tires. I went with Cooper Discover ATP which is a P size and lighter weight that LT tires. I believe they are 52 lbs and rated 6 ply. I really like the ride so far, not as harsh as my Goodyear Eagles LS2's I had. Also taller and fill up the wheel wells better.

14 Crew with RC 2 1/2 level lift and Cooper Discoverers 275 60 R20's on stock OEM 20's x 8.5".

They state 33" in diameter but after mounting they dropped to 32.5" which is better than the Goodyear Eagles LS2's I had at 30 5/8".

Mild look but happy since I didn't need such aggressive tires such as the Nitto Terra Grapplers.

So i ordered a set of Bilsteins so i'm ditching my ranchos. But i figure hell, my brother can use the Ranchos on his 2012 Chevy Silverado SLE 4x4 could he not? Both are GMT900 suspension right? Granted the dampening rate wouldn't be set up for his truck i imagine they're better than the factory OEM twin tubes he has. Since he got his RC 2" leveling kit there was definitely a loss in ride quality. His truck became very stiff IMO.

      What did you do to your "other" car (aka musclecar) today

      By OnTheReel · Posted

      Over the last week I installed GM coils, Taylor wires and Red Line SI-1 in the fuel which cleared up a slightly rough idle. Coils made the biggest difference even just A/B testing one bank at a time. I know everyone says the OEM ones last forever but at 212k on these units they were tired. Fade to failure, like shock absorbers in my experience. Also slightly richened the target idle AFR in the tune for good measure. I have zero tolerance for anything less than buttery smooth, and since emissions are not a concern I can get there any way I please.

      ^^ Yep, that's all it was. The fuel line had rubbed through on one of the spider legs and was severely leaking. Even the lines/nut and bolt kit are harder to find and I think I paid $84 (Standard HK-11) for the kit. Ripoff. But when you're the only brand still making it...   There are a few things left before the truck is Atlas® Certified (and I've thoroughly spent too much on it considering what it's worth). My RockAuto shopping cart total is about $250 and growing:   -Radiator (there's a pinhole leak, driver's upper corner where a cooling line bolts in, the threaded insert weld cracked) -Water pump (mine squeaks, I assume it's shot) -Lower radiator hose (it's original, if replacing cooling parts, this shall be touched too) -Starter (It's not always engaging the flywheel, get the whirrrrrr sometimes when I turn the key but no crank) -Door hinge replacement pins (already purchased, need to install)   Suspect/borderline parts NOT included in shopping cart (only if I want to opt for bonus points): -Motor mounts. Someone twerked the radiator fan shroud, so I can't tell if the motor mounts are bad/squished or if it's truly just a deformed fan shroud. I reassembled the shroud correctly but the plastic is still re-forming/relaxing where it was all mangled and bent, and the fan still chafes it occasionally, but it's 99% better. -Left rear door speaker is blown -Rear wiper motor is shot (horrible grinding noise) -One of the wheels is missing the bowtie center cap. This drives me insane to look at, I'll just need to find a replacement.   I've already replaced: -Driver's door mirror -Idler pulley -Tensioner pulley -EGR -MAP sensor -Hood prop retainer -Intake plenum fuel lines -Intake gaskets -Thermostat (and flushed cooling system) -Radiator cap -Radiator overflow reservoir cap   And it needs tires, and could use a set of front brake pads, and the brake system flushed. And it could use a transmission service, and if I'm doing that, why not differentials, and transfer case, and oh hell, why not flush the power steering.   Is there anything I won't touch? Or...do I just get it to a point where I can send it down the road?

      Some Assembly is Required

      Was checking out a 39 Buick at a charity auction and found the statement on the cover of the owners manual interesting. What it can do for you, and what YOU can do for IT? Framing your ownership as a two way relationship! Seems this type of thinking is all but gone with the non-enthusiasts, and something like that would never be printed on the cover of a manual. It would likely offend people. Hey, I just spent two years salary on an SUV and it has the nerve to request anything back from me???? 😂
