Looks great! Now I'm thinking I should just get tires now and figure out a level later! Wonder if BFGs in the same size would fit on my stockers...

Thanks man...I wouldn't think there would be much difference with the K02. I'll be installing Eibach Pro-Truck Sport Leveling ride height adjustable shocks to the front later this week. I'll be setting them to the 2nd highest setting which should be approx. 1.5" lift and will post pics when complete.

question for any techs or gear heads...

 

I have a 2 inch level with a 1.5 inch body lift on my 2014 sierra.

 

can I run 18x9 wheels with a +1 offset or a -12 offset wrapped in 265-70-18 tires with no issues or trimming required?

 

thanks

That's a really conservative tire size.

yes I know but anything is better the my stock 17 inch GM wheels with 265-70-17 tires. At least the larger rim and a little more heigh/width of the 18 tire will fill up some more wheel well until I stop being a wussy and pull the trigger on some 275-70-18s but they only come in ten ply and range E.

 

if there was a larger tire that wasn't 15 pounds more then my oem set up that would kill my MPG I would do that.

 

but again anything is better then my stock wheels and tires IMO

I just put a set of Cooper AT3's on. They ride, feel, handle, and are just as quiet as p rated tires. I have 275/70/18's on stock wheels and a 2.5 level. Love the tires but kicking myself for not going bigger. I highly recommend you take a peek at 'em.

Yes. You should be able to run some pretty big tires on that set up.

way bigger than 265/70/18.

If you go with +1 offset it will allow you to run slightly larger tires than -12 would.

 

I'm only on a 2" level on stock wheels with 275/70/18 and no rubbing. I've seen someone on here with a 2" level and 1.5 body lift running 295/70/18s on +18 offset wheels.

Just depends on if they are mud tires or all terrains at that height.

I get around 14/15 in town, 18/20 highway. But I have a very aggressive tune with a lot of timing advance, 750 to 800 idle rpm, and a TCM tune that is kinda based on tow haul mode on steroids. This is on 93 octane. Now when I run E85 mileage drops to around 10mpg but let me tell ya', on a nice cool day my little 5.3 screams.

I'm running 285 55 22s on the same set up with no rubbing or trimming. You'll be fine.

    • I have a 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500 with the 6.2 liter engine, Vin: 2GC4YME79R1273849, with 27,437 miles. Recently we took a trip from Candor, NY to Townsend, TN pulling our fifth wheel, when I got close to the Townsend, TN area The truck gave me a message of low oil. I checked the dip stick and found it was 2 quarts low. Today, August 27, 2026, I had the oil changed and the technician Found the truck was very low on oil.  Is there a Recall for this? What is my recourse for this issue? Do I call the dealer where I bought it or any chevy dealer?   Robert Strickland 292 Owego Road Candor, NY 13743 352-502-6588 [email protected]

    • That is the funnel kit I bought and for being here in Canada I did get a better deal than what other sources were charging through a certain supplier in town that sources more directly and they ordered it for me. There are other items now on the market which would be perfect as well but this has worked well which was the hope when I bought it. I mentioned the Amsoil quart bottles as they have that squarish shape up top and it props nicely on the rim of the opening without falling into the funnel so I can leave them sit and drip a bit. You may have already figured out that to get the cap off the valve cover unless one is 7 + feet tall its not going to be reached without standing on a step of some sort and so when I do that I put the right adapter in and just leave the elbow on the funnel all the time anyway and open the lid and then if using quart containers for sure I can stand beside the truck and leisurely add the oil, and I can leave that funnel on when starting the engine to let it idle to fill the filter and then add the rest of the oil to top it up before removing the funnel and putting the factory cap back on. I put the cap back on the top and slide the bottom cap on as it fits onto the elbow adapter also and then store the funnel in a clean household plastic garbage bag along with the adapter so I have no reason to be washing out the inside of the funnel as I keep it completely clean between uses.    Draining the oil as per the under the truck portion, yes indeed that is slick as someone was thinking on GM's part there and admittedly I don't drop the oil screaming hot in this truck due to the exhaust being there and makes it safer as far as the oil temp if its just warmed up some instead as I don't have the truck on any ramps etc as I do it as the tires sit on the garage floor. The filter is not boiling hot then either and can drop it off into another pail after pulling the drain plug and just leave it drip out. Go back under a few hours later with new filter in hand and clean off the filter base and put the new filter on and install the drain plug. The filter is a little cramped in there as per wrapping ones hand around the filter and I am so used to using the band style filter removal tool that its no big deal and same for snugging it up. My filter wrench is many years old now but I think this is the current version and sounds like the right size, just in case my explanation was not great ( those nylon strap wrenches that one tool fits all filters are not my favorite tool to use, I much prefer this style personally )     57020 Swivel Gripper - No Slip Filter Wrench - Small | Lisle Corporation   And again about the oil draining and filter setup under these GM trucks, I've watched Ford videos of them struggling with oil flying sideways out of the oil pan on the gas 7.3 due to the sideways drain plug onto other components or cross members and guys trying to make shields out of carboard etc and other Ford pickups that Ford insisted they have sideways drain plugs. One win for GM there anyway with this engine. 
    • Kind of off topic, wife drives a 2023 Yukon Denali with the 3.0, been a great rig so far, incredible fuel economy for a truck that big and heavy. Coming up on 50000 trouble free miles.
    • I`m gonna try some of this in my 2000 LM7 that has had the famous piston slap since 17,000 miles or so. I have used Mopar combustion chamber cleaner down the spark plug holes a few times in the past. Corrects the problem for a few months or so. Then returns. GM top engine cleaner has been used also. No good results from this.   This LM7 never used oil. Even running the piss out of it.   Course, I`m gonna use this in my 2025 L84 while it`s still clean. It`s got 13,000 miles. Used Chevron fuel system cleaner [2 bottles in tank] a tank or 2 ago.
