I think those pics pretty much sum up if you can fit 295/70r18s on a leveled 2014+. NO!

 

 

That's a tall tire on stockers. Looks like your ATs in your truck bed had plenty of life left!

It really depends on the brand of tire. The STT Pro 295/70/18 are taller than some others by almost 1/2".

 

CHowell's tires are pretty much the same spec height as mine, but they are 1/2" narrower. Perhaps his stock offset helps a bit, too, but I'm really really surprised his don't rub. A 1/2" in width wouldn't help in my case.

UPS delivered four presents from DTD today and I test fit my new wheels and tires. Gonna have to do a bit of trimming and zip-tie work tomorrow evening and then we should be good to go [emoji1360]

 

LRG 104 18x9 +0 w/ 295/70r18 STT Pros

 

Leveled 3" w/ King Coilovers and Cognitos UCAs and 3" Readylift blocks in the back.

Thanks, I'm extremely happy with the combo. After talking to DTD yesterday though, I think I might go down to 285/65r18 tires so I don't have to trim.

 

The fact that the STT Pros run on the larger end of the 295/70r18 spectrum AND the 0 offset of the wheels is proving to be a bigger trim job than I planned and it a bit too close to the cab mount for comfort (I can't guarantee it won't rub during travel even after trimming).

 

Due to the offset issue, I'm also considering switching to wheel with +10 to +20 offset. Unfortunately the LRG 104's don't come that way, and I'm having a hard time finding something similar with satin or matte black and a bit of milled accent. I would like to stay away from gloss black, but most with milled options use that so it's proving difficult. These are under consideration right now.

 

Fuel Boost (matte option) +14

Ballistic Tank (gloss) +13

Mayhem Warrior (gloss) +18

The same Mayhems in all matte w/ no milled - I wish they would have combined the two...

Black Rhino Sidewinder (all black matte) +12

Black Rhino Warlord (matte gunmetal) +12

Grid GD7 (matte black) +15

I wish they made the GD2 in 18x9...

And the fallback, Fuel Maverick +14/20. I like these but they aren't a top favorite and they are super common around the area.

All look good. I went with the fuel octane only because it came with 20 mm offset they aren't the best looking but I like how the face is so far back.

If you look where the spokes come out they are pretty much all Ground off. so watch out for rims that stick out further then the tire wall

Yeah I'm trying to stay away from anything that has protrusions on the lip - just one more thing to bash/scrape.

No rub at all on the wheel wells. I'll post pictures when I get home. There is a slight rub on UCAs when I go as full lock as possible but it is VERY slight. I had 285/75 Toyo ATs before this and never had a problem with that size at all.

Any chance you have a picture of the rubbing?

 

My 295/70r18 STT Pros rub hard with a 3" level on 0 offset.

 

Trail grapplers: 34.57" x 11.73"

STT Pros: 34.49" x 12"

 

I have a hard time imagining the 1/4" width difference is taking a bad rub to a slight rub.

 

 

Here's mine. The worst rub is actually about 1/2" farther outside - I didn't take the time to get the exact picture. 51d2903ffd20da326dc3d831dd10a444.jpg

i will have to take one when i get home, they actually hit the plastic cap on the cab corner there, i trimmed it and now it barely touches but only in reverse when im going over a curb or sidewalk or bump etc. I dont really think they are true to size like urs are probably more narrow and only like 34in tall. i also have 0 offset rims

Thanks! Looks like you barely had to trim at all. It definitely looks like it fits way better than the STT Pros!

      Is This Lift Kit Compatible With a 2020 Silverado 1500 RST Max Tow?

      By newdude · Posted

      Shock and spring rates are specific to the NHT max tow package.  Changing them will alter the performance of the suspension.   Not even the factory GM Trail Boss 2 in lift is compatible with NHT trucks as well.

      Thanks, all. It sounds like keeping the software "as is" is the best course of action.

      The Peckish Synapse

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overengineering   Excerpt from the above link: (BTW the above is a 90 second read)   [Quote]   A story about very precise engineering is given in the 1858 story The Deacon's Masterpiece or, the Wonderful "One-hoss Shay": A Logical Story by Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr., which tells of a carriage (one-horse shay) Because it had been engineered so that no single piece failed first – no piece was over-engineered relative to the others, and they thus all collapsed at the same time. A similar quote by Ferdinand Porsche claimed "the perfect race car crosses the finish line in first place and immediately falls into pieces."[5]   [End Quote}   By Engineering's  own definition then; the AFM and Torque Converters, 4-5-6 clutch assembly of the 6L80E, and a dozen other common chronic parts and systems failures are "UNDER ENGINEERED". And by their own definition done so with INTENT. Ya can't have it both ways OEM's.

      Broke Down on the Mountain

      By Gangly · Posted

      I was in Utah this week attempting a bow hunt in the Wasatch mountains with friends.  On the evening of the first hunt, making my way across a ridge to a friends camp, the upper control arm on the driver's side separated, the CV axle got trashed, and the wheel was dang near at a 45 degree angle to the ground.  I was able to get it towed off the mountain and into town about 3:00 am, and spent the remainder of the night in an O'Reilly's parking lot.  Luckily, there was a Chevrolet dealership not to far away so I was able to get to the dealership and pick up a new CV and UCA.  It would have been a few days before they could have gotten to the truck and I brought tools with me on hunt since it was a two day drive to get there, so I did the repairs myself in the O'Reilly's parking lot.      What's interesting is that the UCA ball joint didn't break, it just popped out of the bottom of the UCA.  There was VERY LITTLE evidence of grease on the ball joint or in the socket, and you could see where the ball joint had warbled out part of the socket over time.  I guess that's what happens over 186K miles of use :)   Big Kudos to O'Reilly's for letting me work on the truck in their parking lot.  However, they made a $150+ off of me from the purchase of various tools, so I guess it was in their best interest anyways :)   Getting towed off the mountain.   UCA Ball Joint Socket   Trashed CV   Suspension disconnected and UCA and CV Removed   New UCA and CV installed with the suspension buttoned up.
