That has to have a leveling kit. They don't come level from gm. Looks good. Sorry thought u said didn't have leveling kit. Wrong person. Truck looks good

I got tired on the truck spinning at every red light in the rain and getting stuck on flat grass in a 4x4 on the stock Goodyears. I am noow running 275/70r18 BFG KO's. I do not have a front level (my truck sits dead level stock anyway) and I have tried to make the tires rub at full lock by backing over speed bumps and even onto curbs and it will not rub. The truck looks 100% better to me than with the stock strret treads.

Gm trucks don't come stock level. If it's level it has leveling kit

looks good antoine08. what's the noise level on those trail blades?

 

if you roll down your windows and turn your radio down then u can hear it not to loud but noticeable. but if your windows or up or your listening to the radio i won't bother you at all i love them. i expected them to be louder so i am really happy

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.

It seems like Trail Grapplers are the biggest looking (or truest) tire in 275/70r18. If I were to go with the exact same tires on a 18x9 +18 offset with a 2" level, think I'd rub? How about 18x9 with -12 offset?

 

Thanks for any help.

With the 18mm offset, you should be fine. But the -12mm is likely going to rub. I have a 2" level and I'm running 275/70/18's on stock 24mm offset rims…

Thanks for reply. Those Duratracs look good. I may consider those.

 

Another question guys. I'd appreciate any input. There's a guy on GMFS running 295/70r17 on a 2014 with a 2" level but he didn't state whether he had any rubbing issues. If I were to run a 295/70r17 tire on a 17x8.5, 0mm wheel, does anyone know if I'd have rubbing issues?

 

I believe those wheels would stick out just about 1" more than my stock 18x8.5 z71 wheels with +24mm offset (or am I wrong?).

Just got my wheel package put on and want some opinions. I think it turned out awesome, just wondering if I should just leave it leveled or go with a 1.5 body lift on top of this. Wheels are Raceline Rampage 20 inch at a 0 offset and stick out just a hair and I got the new Toyo Open Country RT tires 33x12.5x20, tire is awesome. Very quiet and has a very aggressive look to it without going to a MT. Does not rub at all, still room to play, I did have to take my splash guards off as they would rub on those at full lock in reverse, but just slightly. Very happy with the final product. These new Toyo tires I strongly recommend. Just waiting on my tinted tail lights and 3rd brake light now. Opinions please.

Looks great as she sits! And really like those tires. I'm looking to get some of those myself but in a 35x12.5x20

    • 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.
