Went with the +12 worx beast and Nitto trail grappler 275/70R18. Rough country 2.5in front and 2in rear. Wheel cut all the way I barely rub the mudflap. I think if I didn't have mudflaps it wouldn't touch.

Are your tires 275s or 295s? They look a lot bigger then 33s but I guess the 275 trail is 33.6.

Rough Country 3.5 inch suspension lift. Tires are 305/70/17 (33.8") Wheels are Dick Cepek 17x9 -12 offset. minor rubbing on inner fender when turned to full lock. Will post better pictures when the weather clears up. Just took a few quick ones after installing the lift and tires.

If you choose not to put sensors in your wheels, your computer will throw a code telling that TPMS needs to be serviced. If you put sensors in the new wheels, you will need to have them programmed or do it your self with a TPMS programmer. Available on Amazon or Ebay. (lots of websites have them)

Looks sharp....what did you use to get that lift and was there any rubbing?

And if you have any pictures down the side could you share?

3" Maxxtrac leveling kit, with an extra 1.5 block in the rear. I'll try to take some pics tomorrow down the side of the truck. I have a slight rub, only when backing up. I plan on buying the Bilstein 2.5" full strut replacement and adding the Zone 1.5" body lift. I think the 3" is a lil much for the front end, and really don't want to have to replace ball joints at 30,000 miles

If you're going to do Maxtrac, I would suggest the 3" spindles and not the 3" spacers. That way the angles stay almost stock. However, the price difference is what keeps most people from doing this since the spindles are a few hundred dollars more.

I went 285/60/20 Dura Tracs on stock Denali wheels and 2.25" ready lift. Some minor rubbing. Also have 3" block in back to keep factory rake. Very happy with it

Is there anyone running a 295 70 r18 on the stock z71 wheels? I want to do this set up with a RC2.5" level but im afraid it will rub too much. Any opinions?

2.5" RC Leveling Kit and 275/65R20 Goodyear Duratracs. The tires rubbed just slightly on the fender liner, a couple zip ties solved that. Thx Mr. Drag Sledder for the tips.

 

How is the tire noise compared to stock?????

That is one of the sizes I am strongly considering in Toyo AT II's. In the leveling kit thread, http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/153363-2014-leveling-kits/page-39, those that have 275/70/18's with a 2.5" level, said there is a lot more room for a wider tire. I am also planning a 1.5" body lift as well when the time comes. But it sounds like it would work. Also, I am planning on running the stock Z71 wheels. The offset will be they key factor.

Slightly louder than stock. I don't mind it at all.

    • Not sure about DFM tech but i know there's a stop/start deactivation button. 
    • I could be interested if they axed cylinder deactivation and at least have a button for stop start. I’m sure the HP numbers will be higher. I would want a longer warranty to help build confidence. I’m a less is more guy as I get older. A V-8 work truck model would be my choice. I know a few outfitters for custom additions I prefer. 
    • It's official. GMC pulled the covers off the next-gen 2027 Sierra 1500, and we got the first official look. Full breakdown here: https://www.gm-trucks.com/next-gen-2027-gmc-sierra-1500-v8-trim-changes/   The quick hits: SLE and SLT are dead. The new core retail trim is just called "Elevation". Two new V8s, a 5.7L and a 6.6L built with high-performance Corvette architecture roots. No horsepower or torque numbers yet. The 2.7 TurboMax finally ditches the old gearbox and gets the 10-speed automatic. AT4X moves to larger standard 35-inch tires with front and rear e-lockers, Multimatic DSSV dampers, and heavy-duty Jounce Control Dampers. Over 60 inches of combined display on Denali Ultimate and AT4X, complete with a motorized articulating center screen and an adaptive passenger screen. Seven simplified trims across the entire model line to clean up ordering confusion.   So let's get into it: New 5.7L and 6.6L gas V8s with custom active exhaust tuning and a Corvette connection. Is this the exact engine lineup half-ton traditionalists have been begging for? Purging the iconic SLE and SLT names after all these years to lean entirely on Elevation as the high-volume core. Bold move, or a mistake? That motorized articulating 16.3-inch screen that slides up to reveal a hidden dashboard vault. Awesome mechanical theater, or does it make you nervous about long-term durability? Physically lowering the headlamps in the front fascia to improve road courtesy and stop blinding oncoming traffic. Smart real-world engineering, or does it hurt the truck's aggressive stance? What trim are you putting your name down for on day one? Drop your first impressions below.  
    • My overnight hospital stay turned into five.  I developed a post operative fever and an erratic  heart rate.  A blood clot in the lungs was the culprit.  This is apparently a common post surgical complication and easily remedied.   I was the youngest in a four bed ward and a Doctor with a Geriatric specialization was in charge of my care.  All of the nurses were good and some were outstanding at dealing with old people.  It was very evident that my age triggered a different level of care!  My advice to any senior going for a hospital stay is to have a trusted family member advocate visible.  If not, you will still be well cared for, but you may discover that your voice  isn't as strong as it once was!
