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.

Mine is finally done! After months of research I went with the RC 2.5" level kit front only, stock rear block. 20"x9" Fuel Nutz w/ +1 offset, 33x12.50x20 Toyo M/T tires. No rubbing, No trimming, yet a

That's good to know Husker, thanks.

 

Does anyone know if I could run 295/70r17 tires on a 17x8.5" wheel with 0mm offset? I have a 2" level. A guy on GMFS is running that with a slightly different offset and says he does not rub. I just find it hard to believe.

 

Thanks for the help.

 

I am running 285/75/17s with a 17x8.5 with a 0 offset. It rubs a very small amount in reverse, but it only rubs half way before full lock (which is odd) and doesn't rub in full lock. It rubs on inner fender liner, but not enough to worry about it. Could probably pull the liner back a bit and be fine. My tire is 33.9 inches tall, and around 11.5 inches wide. I previously had a 285/70/17, and the new 285/75/17s made a huge difference. The size you described I beleive is the same height as mine, so u shouldn't have much of an issue

I've searched through multiple forums, but haven't found a definitive answer. I am going to be installing the 2" rc leveling kit (front spacers only) and looking for the biggest tires that will fit with little to no rubbing. Would I be able to run 295/70r18 on the stock wheels? .. what about 275/70r18 ? I'm looking into getting nitto trail grap m/t. any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm trying to decide which level kit to go with this week..one is the BDS and the other is from auto spring Corp...

The auto spring one is a one piece on top of the strut while the bds is a little different..the bds claims to keep the angles close to stock so you don't wear out the ball joints.. I'm going to do an add a leaf in the rear too.. Just looking to what the forum has to offer for advice.... Thanks!

Added the RC 2.5 level today with 20x9 BMF Novakanes +0 offset with 33/12.50.20 federals. Love the look so far. No rubbing at all.

The only component you might have to worry about them not honoring the warranty for is the ball joints.

When my old GMT-900's went out at 25K, my dealer changed them under warranty despite the truck having a leveling kit.

 

Im getting a level kit wed, i called a dealer and asked about warranty and they said it didn't effect it by adding one

275/70...yes. Can probably fit them without a level. Tall skinny tire. Might as well leave the stock ones on.

295/70 fit with a 2.5 level if you don't mind removing some fender carpet. Will be real tight with 2" level. Depending on which tire you choose, you will probably rub the swaybar unless you get some new rim with more negative offset (+12, +18, 0)

 

285/65 is your safest tire.

I have 295/55r20 on the stock wheels with only 2 in level zero rub

What brand tire is that, toyo MT? I'm trying to figure out what the manufacturer says the actual specs on the tire is. I thinking about getting some 295/60/20 cooper stt pro that measure 34.2 and 11.5 on a 2" level but I'm not sure if they will rub or not?

Finally got some tires on. 285\60r20 duratracs. I didn't think they would rub but they do on the sway bar at full lock. Going to put on .25 spacers to see if it helps.

 

Lift is 2.5 rc in front and 1.75 block in back. I'm thinking about going back to the stock block and putting on a 1.5 body lift but I can't decide

I see people running 295/55/20s with no rub, which is a 33/12.5. I looked at the factory specs on that tire of yours it is says its 33.5/11.5. Is that 0.5" on the height really making that much of a difference?

a 295/55r20 is not 12.5 wide, its actually 11.6. and a 285 is 11.2. that's based on converting numbers

 

but ya I think its just the added height that makes the difference. Its not that much and I really have to lock it when in reverse to make it rub. I would have thought the 285 would clear no problems based on people running wider tires and no rub, but I guess not. I think the .25 spacer should take care of it though.

Toyo Mt runs 33 x 12.2 in a 295/55r20

      Thanks!  I figured as such; GM and other manufacturers have used standard parts and harnesses across trim levels and such for decades.  I pulled the blank accessory cover off of my commuter van (a 2016 or so Chevy 15-passenger) years ago and found the plug for a USB outlet.  It wasn't connected to anything, though (I tried swapping in an outlet from another van).  I was a GM Tech years ago (late-90s) and was pretty familiar with my 2006.  I might be wrong, but I view newer vehicles (pretty much anything made in the past 20 years) as being a lot more plug and play.  Meaning, more unused wires and plugs unless you have the Mack Daddy of vehicles.

      not all plugs will be used.  gm uses more generic harnesses that support most/all options, and if your truck doesn't have a specfiic option, the plug won't be used (commonly will have a dummy insert in the plug , or it'll be taped up, but some may just be left as is).  But it's sldo possible some p.o. has installed the wrong/cheaper parts that aren't correct for your vehicle...

      First off, I'm not trying to just get easy advice/fixes for the issues I've noticed so far.  I'll be combing through the site via searches and such, and if past experiences are any indication, should find what I need.  For the sake of conversation, though, I figured I'd post the handful of things I've noticed in the 12 hours since buying my 2010 SLE CCSB.     Indicator lights: Airbag and TPMS.  The tire pressures aren't reading for any of the wheels, so I'm pretty certain the sensors were either removed, are damaged, or are otherwise inoperable.  I used to mount and balance tires 25 years ago but am pretty much ignorant when it comes to TPMS.  My 2006 didn't have the sensors and this might be the fourth vehicle I've owned that does.     Radio: Rear speakers aren't working.  I removed the driver's side rear door panel and checked the speaker and wiring.  I also removed the sill and b-pillar covers to check the wiring.  A few minutes of Google Fu showed that this is potentially a head unit issue.    Switches: Power mirrors don't turn left/right.  I ordered replacement driver's door switches that should arrive tomorrow.  The windows and locks work but it was only about $20 for all of them.  The driver's side rear window switch lets the window down but won't put it back up.  I think the passenger rear doesn't work at all.  In the coming days/weeks, I'll break out my multimeter to check all of that.   Unknown wiring harness: There's a box attached to the front driver's side of the engine compartment, right where the second battery shelf is located.  There are three plugs, one of which looks like it fits a standard headlight-style bulb (9007 or similar).  It doesn't look like it's plugged into anything.  I'll do some digging and if I don't see anything elsewhere on the site, post some pictures here.   Unknown plugs on brake booster: There are at least two female plugs on the brake booster that aren't being used.  I think it might be a replacement/aftermarket, so maybe those are used for a different application, as there don't seem to be any unplugged harnesses and no indicator lights are on.   Little squeaks when turning: Sounds almost like a bushing around the bed of the truck.  I'll have to pay close attention as I get more familiar with the truck.   Clunk on acceleration: possibly the infamous drivetrain clunk.  My 2006 had it and I'm just not familiar enough with this truck yet to fully grasp what it is.   Anyway, my apologies for the vague and all over the place post.  This truck is new to me, and it's been four years since I drove my 2006.  With 200k miles, I know I'll need to learn this truck quickly to avoid having any major issues, despite being confident it's got much more life to it.  My 2006 had nearly 320k on it when I parked it (nearly 300k of which I put on the truck), and it was still drivable then, though I suspected the head gasket might have blown.  I'd hoped to have that truck back by now, but it's gone forever, as I detailed in my reintroduction thread.
