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

      Whoever greenlighted the work truck matte black front bumpers on every trim but the AT4X should be fired!  I was hoping that was an AI mistake, but just realized they were on every model of the 2027 Silverado too.     Some parts of the interior do look premium, but the Denali Ultimate dashboard looks like an afterthought.  At least they appear to have lost the microfiber the high end Silverado models showed, but the '27 High Country dash looks better than the Denali.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      New member here. I am researching a read-first event-recorder concept for late-model GM V8 trucks. This is not a sales post. There is no product link, price, preorder, or mailing list. I am trying to determine whether the underlying problem is real before building anything.   Has your truck ever had a brief problem such as: - rough running or a momentary misfire - an oil-pressure warning or unusual pressure event - reduced power or a brief stall - a U-code or lost-communication problem - a symptom that disappeared before the dealer or independent shop could reproduce it   If so, I would appreciate the following details: - year, model, engine, and mileage - what happened and under what conditions - whether a DTC and useful freeze-frame data were stored - whether the shop was able to reproduce it - what the eventual confirmed repair was, if known - what additional information would have helped the diagnosis   The concept being evaluated is a removable leave-in recorder that continuously retains a rolling window from before and after an event. It would not tune, reflash, clear codes, or change the vehicle calibration.   I am also not claiming that it could predict lifter failure or see every internal ECM variable.   The real question is whether continuous event history would add enough useful evidence beyond freeze frame, GDS2, and existing scan tools — or whether it would simply be another unnecessary gadget.   For owners and technicians, which problem would make something like this genuinely useful: 1. intermittent misfire or AFM/DFM-related behavior 2. oil-pressure events 3. lost communication or electrical faults 4. none of the above Please be blunt. Negative feedback is just as useful as positive feedback.

      No tears over the SLE and SLT trim levels disappearing but I kind of loathe the "Elevation" name. It's a truck--skip the elegance.   The slab-dashboard design is decidedly different. Almost has a Hummer flavor to it. "Professional Grade" seems to be leaning very white-collar, tech-driven these days moreso than blue-collar, functional design.   The Silverado would be my choice between the two new trucks. Pleased with the engine lineup in both. The GMC is a little "too much" for a truck, IMO, and the Denali borders on ridiculous - but I do know there are buyers for luxury trucks out there. It's just not my speed.

      - I like the outside but not as much as the Chevrolet.  They ICE'd the EV styling and it works, but I think exterior goes to Chevy on this one.     - SLE and SLT dead = Not.  Surprising.  Fits into the rest of the GMC lineup like this which (aside from Pro) matches the rest of the family.  Elevation, AT4, Denali.     - Interior.  Sophisticated Malaise era.  Why do I say Malaise?  Drawn with a ruler.  Rectangles everywhere.  Looks very premium though.
