20x10 Chevy wheels, don't know any specifics on them... Wrapped in 33x12.5 Toyo Open Country M/T. Truck has Bilstein 5100's up front on max height. On full lock there is slight rubbing. Have not tried to tie the fender wells back as of yet.

Will 285/60/20 fit on a 2.5 level? Gonna run either Toyo at2 or Toyo RT.

Thanks man. A shop over here advised me to stay away from

Body lifts bc when the parts go bad the ride gets awful. What's your thoughts? I'm still on the fence between the 5" and your kit.

Get a new shop. A body lift has ZERO effect on the ride. And, there's really nothing on a body lift that's going to "go bad."

Yes, that size should fit just fine with a 2.5" level. However, before you get too excited, you should know that the Toyo AT2 and Toyo RT are not available in that size.

What upgrades does your suspension have? That height looks good! Do you have any more pictures?

18 x 9 rims with zero offset. BDS 4 inch lift. 275 65 R18 durotrac tires.

No rubbing and lots of room actually. I think 33's wouldn't rub either.attachicon.gifimage.jpgattachicon.gifimage.jpg

Clean truck. How are you liking the BDS lift? I am looking at getting the same kit. Also did it a make the wheels stick out a lot in front? I am already running 18x10 -24 offset and don't want them out any further. Any more pics?

Thank you. Since these pictures I ended up adding bushwacker fender flares. The smooth style. I prefer the look of the truck without them but because the lift kit pushes each wheel out 1.5 inches and the wheel offset needed by their recommendations pushes the rim out another inch over stock, I got tired of the mud and road grime all over my mirrors and windows. Every time it rained or in the spring and fall with the slush I couldn't see out the mirrors. I also added gatorback mud flaps and the 32 inch tires rub slightly on the left side when backing up and turning. 33's would have rubbed badly. I like the ride of the truck though. I can't seem to post pictures on this site anymore as they are all too big now sorry.

    • With large equipment or deep mud it is more of a use the higher gear to avoid spinning tires, getting stuck because of spinning tires and doing damage to your machine. The idea is if you run out of torque before you spin tires you can still downshift for more torque. If you are just spinning your tires in the lowest available gear you are stuck and things break.   Automatic transmissions, traction control and electronic transfer cases change the calculation a little as you the driver have less control over each piece. 
    • are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.
    • Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆
    • I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death. 
    • In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them.
