I made it through 45 pages of this topic and gave up...Is anyone running 305-50-20 on stock AT rims? I would love to go with the 275-65-20 however I think clearance getting in and out of my garage will be an issue. So if I can't go higher...I might as well go wider, just not sure if the 50 profile height is going to look to small.

 

I am thinking about the Cooper Zeon's, decent price and decent look. Just need to see what this size actually looks like on a truck.

I had 295/50/20 on my Silverado at the stock height on Chevy Oem rims and had no issues at all. Going to a 305 would be pushing it. Even after putting the 2.5" leveling kit in the front and rear I only put a 295/55/20 on. The Chevy wheel wells are just to narrow. I'm sure you can fit a 305/55/20 with a leveling kit I just didn't wanna push it with the chance of rubbing or issues being to wide

Double check the clearance on your garage....I don't think the 275 will make you too tall. Your FM antenna may hit, but your OnStar antenna shouldn't in a standard garage...that's your tallest peak. You should still have 2" clearance with the 275s and level.

 

Guy at work is running 305/50/20 Nitto G2s (P, not LT tire) on +1 offset...your stock rim is +31, so he is sticking out 1.2" more. He is rubbing when reversing out of his drive...most likely the liner. IMO it's too much rim and not enough tire from the side view. It's also too wide and not tall enough. But he likes it and many people are running this same setup. Google Image search it rather than just reading this forum.

I have 275/65r20 and 2 inch level in the front. My garage door is 7ft high with no issues. remember the tire is 2 inches tall than stock but only raises the truck height 1 inch over the stockers.

My door is 75", for some odd reason. Right now the truck is 73" to the highest point. Theoretically 275/65's will work with only 1" of additional lift.

It sucks that there aren't more 285 options, or 33/ 12.50's.

hows the ride with the tires?

I have the same exact tires. They are very quiet, i think they are pretty smooth. Not much different than stock.

Can we get a couple of shots down the side from front and rear to see how far the tires stick out?

I will do that as soon as I get my truck back. Some jackass hit me the other day and then took off. It's getting repaired now.

Sorry to hear that man, but you've got a bad ass truck! If money permitted i'd have done the exact same mods you've done!

 

Looks great!

    • This is interesting. My quote tagged here is different from my original quote. After I’m driving them longer. That isn’t me. I don’t talk that way. I definitely wouldn’t express myself that way. Interesting.
    • 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. 
    • 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.
