Yeah me too they remind me of a cement truck tire. The new x3's like mine are actually MT's not AT's but IMO they are kind of right inbetween the two which is why I like them. The x3 is supposed to out perform the old Grabber in every way tho.

When I first read up on the old gen tires on a jeep forum The old ones had problems with rain because the square design gave the water no where to escape.

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

Yeah I could definitely see that for sure. I never read reviews on them but I don't see how they'd be very good in the deep sticky mud either.

Well half the people in the world with big trucks don't off road, for example here's my sisters boyfriends truck. Will never see mud lol bf1eae6485a84259273e39d60f456e18.jpg

Yeah I also saw the reviews regarding rain issue which was a reason I didn't get them since we get lots of rain in norcal

Yeah that is very true. I must admit that my truck won't see any real deep mud and I have MT's so I guess I kind of fit into that category lol. But like I said originally I was looking for AT's and for the price difference to the X3 with red letters, it was a no brainer. I had 35x12.5 Duratracs on my 03 with 9" of lift and I loved them. Cool looking tire and performed well. That truck I did take into anything because she had a little rust on the rockers and I didnt feel so bad lol but anyways, regardless of what people are actually going to do with a set of tires, the tire manufacturer still has to keep in mind that if they market an MT tire, at least a fraction of buyers will actually use it for what it was intended and if you make a junk tire, the word will spread. Not good.

Well I might get the chance to test out the x3's in the rain Today. If so I'll chime in with any good or bad.

Not the x3s the old ones. The x3 have small slits to help with water

This is with a 2" Monofab kit, Moto Metal Razors 20x10" with Nitto Grappler G2's LT305/55/20's,65,000 Mile warranty, and no road noise approximately $300.00 per tire. Fender flares. The wheels have an offset that pushed them out almost 2" which is what I wanted. They do have some rubbing issues, may add the 1/2" spacer to the top of the strut. I love the way it looks now, not quite level, but everyone comments on how much they love the way the truck looks. You could get the 20x9" wheels, with 305x50x20's and probably have no issues, or even the wider wheels with the 50 series too

With just the leveling kit you can safely run and clear 33s. But regardless good pickup

That's what I have 33/12.50r20 no rub (as long as it's 4x4) 2x4 needs to get "sculpted" with a hammer lol

Question...

 

I've got a 2014 Z71 that I just purchased at "Ready Lift - 2.25" Leveling Kit."

Seems pretty self explanatory on the install, but I'm just curious about the "2.25"

 

Looking at the round spacers, they are only about an inch thick. And the little "C" shaped spacers that go on the bottom are only about 1/4".

 

Where are they getting 2.25"?

 

Thanks in advance.

For those of you that have already installed a leveling kit...Which did you go with and why?Do the new aluminum suspension parts impact the install?I hope to get one on my truck in the next couple weeks but want some insights first.

I went with the Rancho 2 inch Quick Lift Struts

That would be great - everyone here does the 3.5 on stock wheels

I haven't seen anyone run 35's with a 2.5 level, much less a 2". If you find someone running them with that, please report back. Even stuffing 34's in there is really pushing it.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.

      Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍

      Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
