I'm trying to play it safe being that there's only 2 inches added up front and 0 offset.

 

Nitto tech specs:

275/70-18= 33.62x11.10

285/65-18= 32.83x11.93

285/75-18= 35.08x11.26

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 have the 275/70/18 on stock rims. I went with the Hankook Dynapro. So far so good. No rubbing. We got a ton of snow and they have done really well. They look fairly aggressive but not too noisy. I'm pretty happy with them. I did measure my truck after installing the Bilsteins. 38 to front fender and 38.25 to rear. It's damn near level. I'm running lower air pressure right now with the foot of snow we have on the ground. It may come up a little more once I start playing with more air pressure. The tire dealer only put 37 lbs in the tires and I think I'll take them up to 45 and see how it rides once the roads clear up.

 

Turned to full lock, how much clearance for a larger tire is there? To the sway bar and bumper corner? If you could look please. Thanks.

After the 18" tire size dilemma I've decided to go down to a 17" tire and settled on cooper St maxx's in 295/70/17. Little over 11.5" wide and a little over 33" tall, which is what I was aiming for. Might I add, Mr. Wheel Deal was the best prices I could find anywhere, online or local by over $500

I probably missed the 18 in rim dilemma but what backspacing are you using on the 17s, and what was the issue with the 18s? Thanks

I have 275/65's. No rubbing just need a cable tie the inner liner back. Both sides 3 mins. each

spx what liner are you talking about? are you running stock tires? Im doing the 2.5" RC level and going to be running mayhem wheels at +18 offset and tera grapplers 275/65/20.

The issue with 18s is the tire sizes available 275/70/18 just isnt quite big enough and 295/70/18 is too tall.

17s solves the problem by going with 295/70/17 you get the width and a good height.

 

the plan is to go with 17x9 +0, today. That plan may change by supper time lol

Oh ok, I'm running 285/75/17 cooper a/t tires and xd hoss rims but I'm not feeling the look anymore but i don't want to go to a larger tire because gas mileage will drop even more.

 

I want a little more offset than the xd's i have

yes it rubs the on the fender liner, but if you wire tie the liner back you can get plenty of clearance. even the people doing the 2.5 kit have to do this to fit this tire.

      2019+ Brake failure, it's complicated

      By needafix · Posted

      I'm not sure if this should be a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - AC Delco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles, 119k total miles.  When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so I did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out, it could've been the wrong fluid. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material, scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance. I had a panic stop prior to this issue which may have contributed from what I read. And on the first attempt to bleed and hydraulic test the scanner listed things to look for and one was any gaps between the pad and rotors which I did notice on the RF corner and I removed the outer pad (where the gap was) cleaned it and the hardware and didn't see a gap after that but will re-check it. I read that if pushing the caliper pistons back then you're supposed to open the bleeder so as to not push fluid backwards into the abs module or it will damage it. If that's true then that's also a possibility from the previous owner having the brakes changed before I got it. I'm using an XTool ip500 scanner. Any suggestions, questions and comments welcome.

      Next Friday will be my 6 week point from my right knee replacement.  The surgeon says it will be fine if I choose to drive after this checkup.  I know I could drive now but best to do as my surgeon (and my wife) tell me.  Richard compared being 62 to 72.  I remember when I was in my early 60's I was experiencing slow but regular decline in my mobility.  Thanks to good medical support,  i continued to fight the speed and spread of this decline. During my 60's I worked on non-surgical methods and just when I turned 70, my orthopedic surgeon recommended joint replacements.  In a little over a year, I had one shoulder and both knees replaced.  This hasn't been a terribly fun experience, but worth the discomfort as my future mobility health trajectory has reversed.  It is a treat to now be watching my mobility. balance and confidence steadily improve!
