What setup will give me an extra 3" of lift if I currently have the RC 2.5" kit w/ the stock 265/70-17? I was thinking maybe 20" wheels with I'm not quite sure what tire setup yet.....Thanks!!

 

I was thinking something like 275/60/-20, I'd really like to keep a good sidewall and I'm more comfortable with the look of a taller tire, not so much of a wider tire.

 

Thanks!!

I did LT295/55R20 E123/120Q 32.91 h x 12.52 W Nottor Grapplers with a ready lift 2 1/4" leveling kit. I have no rubbing even at full lock.

I have orderd XD Spy 18" X 9 with -11 offset with Toyo Open Country A/T II - P275/65R18 tires with a 2.5" Rough country lift. Do you guys think these tires will rub? It seems that I cannot find an exact setup like the one I will have and I am really worried about having to trim metal on my brand new truck.

No. this tire is 32" x 10 something and will clear. i have larger tires with less offset (factory) and I clear. I have the AT package which has the same struts as the z71 I believe.

Thanks. You're guys answers have been great. As soon as I get the 2.5" Rough Country lift installed with the 18" Spys, Ill post pictures for the next guy that is wondering what their truck might look like with similar upgrades.

Please do. Thank you!!!

 

Take a front picture that shows how far they stick out. I'm trying to choose between a zero or +18 offset and 11/11.5 wide tire. I like the looks of the 12+ inch wide tire but a narrower tire is better for the majority of my driving.

KUUG. Thanks for all the updated and photos. Sweet looking mods. All you guys have been helpful. Still deciding what wheel offset to mount the 285 55 20 Connie's that came on the truck from the factory. I do want them to stick out some. Went with Goodyear Adventurers for winter on the factory wheels.

No problem, glad I could help people. I was pretty lost when I started this whole thing.

I think that you could possible get slight rubbing from this set up only because of the negative offset. They are 32's but negative offset can cause some rubbing. It will be close. Swazimoto stated that he had less offset (factory) but that isn't where the rubbing comes from. Let us know the results

A +18 with 305/55r20 should do the job for you.

As far as flares go its going to depend what brand you go with for it to look right. I would bump it up and do the combo with 1.5" body lift that I did.

 

Here is a picture as it sits today

I just don't see flares looking right with a +18 wheel on there and a -12 wont fit unless you go taller

      2019+ Brake failure, it's complicated

      By needafix · Posted

      I'm not sure if this should be a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - AC Delco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles, 119k total miles.  When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so I did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out, it could've been the wrong fluid. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material, scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance. I had a panic stop prior to this issue which may have contributed from what I read. And on the first attempt to bleed and hydraulic test the scanner listed things to look for and one was any gaps between the pad and rotors which I did notice on the RF corner and I removed the outer pad (where the gap was) cleaned it and the hardware and didn't see a gap after that but will re-check it. I read that if pushing the caliper pistons back then you're supposed to open the bleeder so as to not push fluid backwards into the abs module or it will damage it. If that's true then that's also a possibility from the previous owner having the brakes changed before I got it. I'm using an XTool ip500 scanner. Any suggestions, questions and comments welcome.

      Next Friday will be my 6 week point from my right knee replacement.  The surgeon says it will be fine if I choose to drive after this checkup.  I know I could drive now but best to do as my surgeon (and my wife) tell me.  Richard compared being 62 to 72.  I remember when I was in my early 60's I was experiencing slow but regular decline in my mobility.  Thanks to good medical support,  i continued to fight the speed and spread of this decline. During my 60's I worked on non-surgical methods and just when I turned 70, my orthopedic surgeon recommended joint replacements.  In a little over a year, I had one shoulder and both knees replaced.  This hasn't been a terribly fun experience, but worth the discomfort as my future mobility health trajectory has reversed.  It is a treat to now be watching my mobility. balance and confidence steadily improve!
