austingta Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 On my stock 20's my tire guy says I can only run 285's with a 2.25 level.
Texas Husker Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 struggling with size of tire.I am looking to fit 325 65 r18 on my 4x4 with a 2.5 lift leveling kit. The tire size is listed as a 325/65R18 = 34.6X12.8R18. seems like it is not going to happen as far as sizes go. I know they will most likely rub but how bad and where? does anyone have any ideas or if anyone is running a lift and is/are still rubbing? please let me know asap im getting new tires this coming weekend and I want to go big just in case I add the body lift kit as well. Just hard to find good tires that I want in size18. thanks in advance cheers. Wishfull thinking I know but I am asking for thoughts and constructive ideas, not negative nancy "thats dumb" ideas lol. I was debating those tires too with a 2.25 level and a 1.5 body lift. Talking to some people with the combo lifts, I still think some rubbing will occur.
ajdata Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 I just ordered the Pro Comp 2.25" leveling kit from 4wheelparts today. The sales guys said that this would make the truck sit level. But I'm reading conflicting info that the front is now going to be 0.5" higher? Anyone with first hand experience with this leveling kit that can help? I've got a couple weeks until my appointment if I need to make some changes. I'm running a 2014 Silverado LTZ Crew Cab 4x4 w/ max towing package. All help is much appreciated. Thank you.

You will sit very close to level with 2.25" in front. It will not make your front end .5" higher than the rear. Edited September 18, 2014 by 14x4
tuanphan Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 I see that a lot of people have removed the air dam on their truck. I like mine on but I've managed to ding it up a bit going off road so I was just wondering if anyone is around the Houston area that has removed theirs and wants to sell it to me. I'm willing to go out as far as the Austin/San Antonio area or even up to Dallas/Fort Worth area. Maybe even Louisiana but I don't have family or camp out there so I don't want to hold my breath for that one. Message me if you do! Thanks! Tuan
FastWS6TA Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 (edited) 275 60 20 Nitto Terra Grapplers. 2.5" Rough Country level kit and 1.5 Zone Body lift. Clears by a mile. Going to trim my air deflector. Don't want to remove it because I did and just didn't like the look. I think it is because of the curved bumper bottom that is throwing me off. Photo shop (on my phone, lol) of what it would look like trimmed about 1.5 inches. Edited September 20, 2014 by FastWS6TA 1
travalan21 Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 You'll need probably a 4" suspension lift to run that tire. Don't even try it with a level kit. I was debating those tires too with a 2.25 level and a 1.5 body lift. Talking to some people with the combo lifts, I still think some rubbing will occur. yeah i thought so thanks for the input. I think I will end up getting a 33 12.50 tire instead. seems like a few people are running them with minor rubbing only under full lock and a load. thanks again sorry took me so long to reply account would not let me log in for some reason.
travalan21 Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 2.25 pro comp leveling kit and pro comp pro runner shocks with 295-65-20 do you get alot of rubbing with this setup? did you trim like crazy? the numbers say 295/65R20 = 35.1X11.61R20 do the shocks lift it as well? this may have been covered but i didnt see it.... 1
travalan21 Posted September 21, 2014 Posted September 21, 2014 When I bought my truck they had installed my RC 2.5 and put Toyo AT's 275 /65/20 (wrong ones though) and I never noticed any rubbing. But, I didn't like how narrow they are. Then went to 305/55/20 Nitro Trail Grabbler, and those sucked something terrible! Took the back, and had them install 285/65/20 BFG which I'm not a fan of but better than the Nittos. They barley rub on hard turns. I know have decided to take a step back and go with a new aftermarket 18" wheel and Toyo MT 295/70/18. I hope they don't rub. Hope that helps... Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk Did they rub?
durrty1 Posted September 21, 2014 Posted September 21, 2014 Yes, as long as you don't have negative offset wheels. Appreciate the info blue

Tlarose Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 (edited) Planning on buying the RC 2" front levelling kit for my Silverado LTZ, but it asks for aluminum or steel, which should be chosen for my truck? Thanks in advance! Edit: aluminum Edited September 22, 2014 by Tlarose
BlueWrapper Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 Appreciate the info blue No problem. That'll be the tire I go with if I ever get my truck. Post pics if you do it.
