So I have a 2014 1500 with a 2 inch Motofab level kit in the front only (See picture). I’m looking to upgrade my wheels and tires, I want my truck to have a stance to it. I seen a set up it was 20X12 -51 off set with 275/55R20 and was wondering would that hurt anything and cause major rubbing issues with that big of an off set? What would you all prefer I get to have a decent stance?

Thanks!

I'm one of those that researched and researched and used this 2014+ thread many times to browse pics and fitments. Figured I'd throw mine on here to help the next guy. 2018 SLT 4x4 Z71 package Onyx Black with Cocoa Dune interior. 

 

First pic is the day it was delivered to my driveway. Here's what I've done:

--Tint front two windows

--Removed front air dam

--Removed stock step rails

--Color Matched GMC front and back

--2" Rough Country Leveling Kit up front (the 1" spacer under the strut) - stock in the rear

--Fuel Maverick Gloss Black and Milled (20x9 with +1 offset) - I wanted to go for more stance and read where +1 Mavericks would fit. The gloss black complements that new black paint as opposed to the matte. The milled edges bring out the chrome just enough to tie it all together (I'm not a huge fan of the all blackout).

--Nitto Ridge Grapplers 295/55/20. Also didn't realize the Ridge Grapplers had two different reversible sidewalls...I decided on the more uniform sidewall that has more "chunk" so to speak. They are absolutely awesome looking tires. Have some road noise but nothing major. 

 

I noticed on my camera that the gloss black nerf style step bars arrived today so I'll throw those on this weekend. I wanted to go for more a stockish look but with a little meaner stance and the +1's accomplished that. At full lock there is a very minor rub on the inner fender liner but I'll zip tie it back and be good to go.

I am looking at either a 285 55 20    295 55 20 or even a 275 60 20 in the Ridge Grappler.

Factory is 275 55 20

I just want a little taller and a little more width.

Ride Grapplers have the reversible sidewall look which I recently found out about and like :thumbs:

    • I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps. 
    • Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.
    • 10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O. 
    • Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.    
    • apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
