What tires do you plan to run?

Should they fit, I was planning on running the stock tires on the 20x9 wheels it came with until the tread runs out

Thanks. Fits in the garage... Just barely. Yeah, it was taller than I was expecting... 43.75 to the fender...

 

 

That's crazy. I looked at a truck the other day that supposed to have a 4" lift and it was 40.5 and 41.5.

stock fender height on my all terrain was 36 inches two inch level and tires put me at 39 in the front. So a four inch lift would bring it to around 40 inches on stock tires.

On the previous generation Gmc I was looking to lift my 2010 all terrain. The rancho lift was advertised as 4 inch but was closer to 6 inches according to all the reviews and the only theory I ever heard of why they would do this was because of lift laws in some states. Like Massachusetts maximum legal lift between tires and suspension is 4 inches on a truck like mine. That being said there are plenty of trucks lifted higher than that around here . You just have to know the right people I guess.

Yeah, problem I'm having is that everywhere I look I see different fender heights .... I really was trying to get a square answer on what the height should be but seems to vary an inch or two from one truck to the next. Guess it's not that big of a deal since I'm happy with the way it turned out... But I chose the 4" lift for a reason. Its a 4x4 and has 33" tires so I know that's a factor in the height. Oh well...

Dropping the Sierra off Wednesday morning for a RCX 4 & 3/4 combo lift with basically same wheels as baggedlvintegra, Moto Metal 970's 20x10 with - 24 offset, but went with the 305/55R20 Toyo Open Country AT II's Extreme for the shoes. Installer is skeptic he won't have to trim all night long so I'm hoping I have the same luck as this guy! Wish me well as my baby goes in for the operation. I'll post pics and results asap. ujagy9um.jpgruvatuba.jpg

I was planning on the Fabtech 4" kit with these. Did you have any issues with the offest and the RCX Kit and Control arm clearances at all??

Agree with that. I am just about ready to pull the trigger on these after seeing that pic. Anthracite with a milled edge.

So, did you pull the trigger?

Ha not yet...paralysis by analysis right now. My birthday is this month and wheels are my gift to myself but just not sure yet.

Anybody know the dimensions of these wheels? They are the 20x9 OEM wheels and I wanted to know the offset and backspacing

Yeah, I hear you there. This is driving me nuts. I have an Audi S5 I want to sell before I buy a new truck. Wanting an Iridium Denali and trying to figure out which wheel. If and when, I'm stuck between that Maverick in Anthracite and the Fuel Throttle.

This is from an older post so hopefully you will still get this. I have a 2015 Serria Denali 1500 and wanted to have the same setup as you with the 2.5" leveling kit and 33" tires but was told by the shop that the Denali magnetic suspension system would not work right with the leveling kit. Called the dealership and they confirmed it would be a real bad idea. Specifically would mess up on towing anything as the back end would drop much lower than the front and the sensors would go also go haywire. Did you run into that problem at all? Edited by wcass621

Should be stamped in yhw back but I think it's +27mm 5.75

I'll try to answer that for you. His truck is a 2014 and didn't have magnetic ride suspension like the 2015's, so it wasn't an issue. So yes, there is an issue with leveling the 2015's with magnetic ride. Check out this thread and I think you'll find your answer.

Look on the last couple pages and there's a company who will level and adjust the sensors. Someone has also talked to a GM tech who claims he can re-calibrate the sensors once the level has been installed, although I don't think anyone on here has confirmed yet.

Hope that helps.

Huge help, thanks a lot. Have a call into my dealer to see if this can be done. Makes the difference between being maxing out at a 305/50/20 and getting to put on the 295/55R20's that I want.

I am confused as hell.

 

 

I see some people say you can fit 35x12.5x20 on a 2.5 level

 

Some say you cant. I fit my 33x12.5x20 with lots of room to clear on the OEM rim

 

 

Anyone have a definate answer? I am thinking of making the switch to 35's. But I would like to do a -24 rim on a 35! Sexy!

You must not understand offset. While I love negative offset too, the reason guys are able to run 35s with a leveling kit with minor rubbing is because they are usually on stock wheels, or wheels that have a positive offset and a large amount of backspacing. This keeps the wheel in as you turn, keeping it away from the inner fender. With a -24, I'm guessing you'd be on a 20x10, 33x12.50 are probably going to rub a bit with just a leveling kit. to run 35s you'd probably have to go full 5"+ kit. Going to have to be more than a leveling kit though. I hope you understand what I'm saying, trying to make it as clear as I can.

 

Edit: I have a -12 on my truck and they only clear by about 3/4" with half tread 285/50/20.

    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
