How do the 305’s fit? Any rubbing? Have to do any trimming?

I had this wheel and tire set up for a short while didn't like the way it looked so I sold that set. Was Nitto Trail Grabber 295/60/20 wrapped around a set of KMC XD 20x10 Monster 2...

 

I'm now running stock all terrain 20s wrapped around a set of 285/65/20 BFG KO2 and I absolutely wouldn't change a thing. The left is a a 4.5 inch suspension lift made by zone

What was your offset? I really really want the Zone 4.5 as well but I'd like to stick with 18's because I have some cherry Cooper AT3 I can use. However, I would need at least a 0mm wheel and that would push my tires outside the fender quite a bit like you mentioned. 

 

20's can help combat that ultra wide front stance issue but then that would put me out of budget, needing new wheels AND tires.

The only changes are Bilstein 5100 shocks with the fronts on the highest setting, and then a 1/4" spacer on the bottom strut mount for an additional 0.5" lift.  Im around 2.25" total level on the front, rear is all stock.

2016 Sierra All Terrain 5 inch Bracket suspension lift from Rough Country! I have to say I absolutely love the lift the truck rides like it did the day I drove it off the showroom floor!! 295/60/20 Nitto Ridge Grappler's, wrapped around a set of Moto Metal 970 Gray with Black Lip 20x10-24!! KNN cold air makes for a perfect addition.

Any issues with the lift since you've had it? I had wanted the zone 4.5 but wanted to stick with 18's which would've pushed my tires out way too much with the needed offset and the way zones kit widens the track.

Ocotillo Wells?

Good eye. The opposite side of the same desert. Ocotillo by the 8 freeway AKA plaster city, near superstition mountains (about 10 miles west). Actually much prefer this spot to Ocotillo wells. Both for family type riding with little kids and high speed stuff with fast machines. A lot less people with a mix of families and serious off roaders/ experienced racers not much riff raff with the exception of a few tweakers here and there that actually live there.

I'll have to make it over there sometime, never been out that way. We usually camp over by the Blu inn

I've been everywhere local in Socal with the exception of Gorman. Was  a fan of the dunes for years, but I have to say one of the must do ride spots is superstition mountain awesome mix of desert riding there.  I way prefer that over say Johnson Valley (King of the hammers). But plaster city/painted gorge is pretty cool if you like open fast and deserted and small technical mud hills. Ocotillo Wells has some attraction, but always see life flight every time I  go there, plus some jerk tried to steal my bike out of camp at 4:30 am last time I was there (this year).

    • Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.
    • The thinking is that starting out in a higher gear makes it easier to avoid applying excessive torque when pressing the gas pedal. In a modern 4wd truck with 4 low and a limited slip or locking rear end, I would use 4 low and try to crawl up the ramp. Sometimes if they are too slippery, you have to back up to let the boat have some bouyancy, and then accelerate briskly to get some momentum to help you pull the through the slippery parts. 
    • I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.     
    • Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.  
    • The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.
