Any rubbing?? And what size lift??

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

In reverse if im backing down a hill, not at all in forward. I have a 4" lift.

I think if you go with a zero offset or closer to factory it wouldnt rub at all. I went with -12 because of the fender flares.

Gotcha I currently only have a 2.5 level kit with 34x11.5 tires on the stocks 17 wheels and was looking to go with 17x9 with -12 offset but was pretty sure I would rub like hell... now I know I will lol

My full size spare with Cooper STT Pro, white letters out.

 

Let me know thoughts on the white letters out, I like it. As soon as I have some extra funds, I plan to put Cooper STT Pros all around.

Really sharp looking tires, but in my opinion the white letters take away from the appearance. I totally respect your choice and your truck will look great either way!

Looks great, i'm running 4.5" of lift and the same size rims and offset, What made you decide to go with the 34x12.50 over the 305 65 they're almost identical in size and price? I'm looking at both for my next set of tires but it seems like the 305 65 is more readily available and the 34's have to be ordered.

You're right, its only a half inch taller and wider which is nothing, but Discount tire near me had the 34x12.50 in stock plus the 34's are KO2's and the 305's were the KO and I prefer the sidewall of the KO2's. I wanted it to be as wide as i could any way, because of the fender flares. You cant go wrong with either tire.

Actually on BFG's website they are both 33.5" even though they call it a 34, the 305 is 12.2" wide and 12.5" for the 34x12.50. I'm not sure why BFG makes 2 tires so close in sizes. The 305 has a higher load rating at a higher max pressure of 80 psi, max on the 34 is 65 psi. Now you can't find any of this info on their website they have everything all screwed up on there.

Anyone know the biggest size I could fit with a fabtech 3" front 2" rear with stock 20x9 +27 rims? Think I currently have 275/55/r20. Want something big and aggressive.

Oh ok, i didnt look at BFG. Then pretty much no difference. So just comes down to whats available I guess. I dont tow a lot with the 1500, I have a Duramax for the heavy work but for guys that do tow then the 305 would be the way to go for sure.

With the stock offset you can fit pretty big tires. I have seen some post's where guys ran 35's with factory wheels. He said no rubbing, so can probably get 33's or 34's on it with room to spare. I will find out soon as my wife wants some with more grip on her 2015. The guys at the tire shop I use will let use try a couple of sizes to see what fits without rubbing so maybe a shop near you will do the same.

That would be great!

I found these mud hog tires for around $800 for the set so pretty cheap for 275/65/20. Thunk those would be 34s. Would love to fit 35s tho!

Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/262217845925

    • I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose      
    • Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)    
    • Ok, I got the all the codes. What do you all think would be a place to start?
    • How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
