I like my 275 60 20 duratrac.

With the extra detail on the sidewall they appear to be wider.

 

1.75 level in the front

 

 

I have 20’s, so I won’t be getting an 18” sized tire. Any one have input on 275/60/20 and the ‘look’ factor of them? Not a huge change from stock but enough from a side

Profile that I think it fills the wheel wells better than a 55 sized tire.

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

So I think you missed the point of my post.  you are asking if a specific size tire would look too small for your truck.  i gave you a tool to be able to compare tire sizes.  (you're welcome).  also, I wasn't trying to convince you in any way to get an 18" rim, what I was trying to do is give you an EXTREMELY common size tire to look at for comparison. (you're welcome).  outside from the information I share with you (also saying that the size tire you asked about would be fine) and others on this thread...your best bet is to go find trucks that have the size tire you want and look at them in person...

 

sorry if my message was confusing...just trying to help...

 A buddy of mine said a 2.5" Motofab had his sitting perfectly level (by looks and measurement) but then I see Ron505's post of his 2" BDS and it almost looks like the front is slightly higher. lol 

 

 

Mine definitely isn't nose high.  It may be an optical illusion or something with my driveway.  It still has a very small amount of rake.  That's why I'll be adding rear leafs to get it closer to stock rake.  Plus I'll be adding my cap back on that seems to weigh around 300lbs.

Have been meaning to post this for a while. Here is my 2017 with 22” Yukon wheels and 285/55/22 Nitto Terra Grappler. I did the 2.25” Readylift kit in the front and nothing in the back. I have some rubbing at full lock but otherwise I love the look and ratio of the combo. I run about 5k miles a month and have 40k on the Nittos. Think there’s another 15/20k in them

Found the cheapest set of circular aluminum billet blocks on eBay. Like 50 bucks. 2.25 leveling in the front. 

 

If all you’re looking to do is get your front end *level, a billet aluminum block, is a billet aluminum block, is billet aluminum block no matter what kool name is stamped on it. 

 

Did not install rear blocks.

Can you re-post the pic?  I've got a 2.25" RL(nothing in the back) and 22" stock wheels and would like to see how that size tire looks.

Should work now, used the wrong URL.

 

It is a great setup! I think it is the best option for proportions with these trucks on 22's Personally I love these tires also, great wear, minimal road noise (for an A/T Tire).

 

All in all with the worst part is the fuel mileage. I get a constant 15mpg average driving mostly interstates and 5k miles/month wit work.

Optical illusion or not, it still *looks* nose high.  My truck has the RC 2" kit and it definitely looks nose high at times, especially parked facing uphill on even a slight incline. Measurements confirm there is a half inch of rake but it doesn't always look that way.  Drives me crazy to the point that I bought the 2" rear block kit to get the back end up another inch.  Something about the design of the truck from the cab forward that creates the nose high illusion.

Looks good!  Did you have to re-calibrate the speedo when you went with that size rubber?  Also any issue with that size and gear ratio and/or noticeable power reduction?  I currently have 45 and want to bump up to 55 to have more meat on the tire and not worry about dinging up the rims, but thought I heard that there could be an issue depending on what you have for a gear ratio....

I did not re-calibrate my speedo but it is off. I used my phone GPS to get an idea of how bad and it appears to be pretty minor until you get to higher speeds. 76MPH on the speedo is 80 in reality. There are conversion charts that show you how far off it calculates to, I think TireSize.com has one. I have not noticed power issues. I Love the 6.2L and when you get on it, it goes! Even with all the meat that the Nitto's have it can be annoying on a rainy day around town.

Any Superlift 3.5 users/info around that someone may have noticed?

 

There are very few posts that turn up about it on Google or searching this site.

 

Mostly, people just exclaim that it may be garbage like the RC 3.5, however, most of the RC 3.5 hate seems to be back when it was just a spacer kit. Seems RC responded and included UCAs and diff drop in a separate kit. Well, the Superlift 3.5 does the same giving UCAs and diff drop. Short of going full Zone 4.5, this seems like it should level and avoid balljoint/geometry issues but I can't be certain as I am still trying to learn what joints are hit the hardest by lifting and what CAN be done to correct it while still lifting.

 

It's really a PITA trying to find a kit that just levels the damn truck out without eating up the fragile crap up front.

UCA and a diff drop don't help lower balljoints. Do it right the first time, even if it takes a little bit more time to save

      Lets Talk Z60 Suspension

      By ryan35205 · Posted

      Did the KYBs keep it the same height in the front? I was concerned that pre-assembled assembly would raise it up an inch to standard non-z60 height.. I guess which it would make the rake 1 inch instead of 2 inches.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Thank you for keeping the train on the tracks and for a thoughtful engagement. I enjoyed the reflection on a previous stance to refine and improve your position. I like that inquisitive flexibility about you Atlas.    No the process isn't sterile. Hundreds, perhaps thousands of miles of piping, vessels, pumps. Chevron, the people I worked for, were keenly aware that there is a market for what is known as their "ISOCLEAN" line of lubricants. These are lubricants that are the same as those sold bulk that are further processed by filtration to a level your particular application demands. They will filter and package and provide lab documentation as required. Do not kid yourself. Every gallon of oil that goes into a Chevron Turbine, reciprocating compressor, generator is prefiltered and tested before being charged. Lest wise it was when I was there in the plants I worked in.    There are requirements set by manufactures for the cleanliness of the oils used in their equipment. OTR such as CUMMINS has standards shared with customers on this. Commercial interest selling to Ma and Pa do, but don't share that information. Not even upon request but internally, they do exist.    The GM study sited, (Graph from Machinery Lubrication in previous post) only shows "relative" importance.  I find that fascinating. By constructing the graph like this they admit there are dozens of factors in engine life and via scientific method determined the effect of 'relative cleanliness' on engine life not in miles but in 'FACTORS'. This allows a certain amount of reverse engineering does it not?   They even provided some touchstones. Beta 75 as a reference point. Wonderful stuff!!   Smaller blenders CAN and some DO take the time and effort to do better than a refinery or large bulk blender, like Warren Oil, in improving the "in the can" cleanliness. No I don't have a list but testing could generate that information.    Again, but one of several levers we can pull to improve engine life. The simplest is keeping a clean work station while doing your own oil changes.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I just spent the last 45K miles doing samples every oil change over more than a full year to get the data for seasons and break-in to broke in.    I found the same thing to be true. Something was always teetering on done or had stepped off the cliff long before the OLM was DOA. In fact, I found about a thousand mile difference between summer and winter. That is during the winter half the OLM was STILL too long. Even the severe schedule was to long in the winter.   Now having done the work I can say I was NOT DISAPOINTED. I saw nothing I didn't already know. Nothing my father hadn't already demonstrated in his 2K OCI's pushing dated iron on dated oils and weak filters to mileages well beyond 300K.   Building on his work through use of Lab testing it wasn't hard to find the correlation between 'sight/feel/odor, the things dad relied on, and test results. Use of current viscosity stable chemistries & filters has pushed that marker for my motors out to 3K summer, 4K winter.    So the early lies were 3K on conventional oil and the lie upon the lie was 7K+. turns out to be off by a factor of two.    So... it is true that modern chemistry has doubled the useful oil life. But the base milage that came from was off by double. It's how good lies work. Partly true, sometimes mostly true so that your meter isn't set off. It also means that non-shear-stable shelf oils are only now as good as the old oils were in their best case scenario.    So the question now is how do we improve on that? Thus the question into cleanliness among the other items listed in the post quoted below.    If this bores you, feel free not to participate.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By newdude · Posted

      Is it though?  Like LTZ, not a high take rate.  Current Sierra has AT4, Denali and Elevation as its main bread winners.  Each trim accounting for 25-35% of sales for Sierra.  SLT makes up about 10-15% at best.        Like others have predicted here for GMC, it will be:   - Pro (equal to WT Chevy)   - Elevation (replaces SLE and SLT)   - AT4 (and X)   - Denali (and Ultimate).
