Guys have been running the 275/60/20's with a 2.25-2.5" front level. Some have rubbed a little bit on the fender liner, some haven't. It's about the limit. That tire isn't very wide, but it's over 34" tall, so that's why it rubs. A safe bet would be the 275/60/20. It's the same width, but only 33" tall.

Ok, I have decided not to add a level kit.

My goal is to just make my ride better on rough roads.

The fix would be to go to 18" wheels, but I don't think they will look good on this truck.

Perhaps just new tires when the time comes.

Yeah if your main goal is a better ride, then stay away from a leveling kit or any other suspension mods that will raise the ride height. And, unfortunately, only adding 0.5" of sidewall to your tires probably won't make enough difference to even notice. Honestly, I can't really tell much difference between 18" and 20" wheels, as far as the ride is concerned. You actually have one of the best riding trucks on the market today...

Big Whiskey, if that is true about the 18" wheel not feeling any better then the 20" then that will save me money. But will a 275/60/20 fit my stock truck without needing any mods?

I understand the .5" won't do much, but perhaps with the .5" and a better tire it just may do enough.

Thanks!

Yes, I think a 275/60/20 will fit without any lift modifications. Some guys have ran a 275/70/18 without any lift, which is actually a little taller than a 275/60/20. I think you'll be fine. Most tire shops will let you test fit a tire to make sure it fits before you buy a whole set.

It's called your 'signature.' To get to it, click on your screen name in the upper right corner of your screen. Then, click on 'My Settings.' You'll see a tab for 'signature' on the left.

That's a nice looking truck

Hey thanks!

Yeah, definitely add more photos when you can. I am looking at doing something similar.

They look great on your truck. Definitely the amount of rubber between rim and road that I am use to having.

Not sure that would like right on my "pretty" truck. But again, looks good.

Big Whiskey, I will have to go and check this tire thing out at a local shop.

And thanks with the help. I added my signature, just need to add my truck photo.

Thanks again.

Those look great. Do you think you needed to add the 2" level to make them fit??

Did you do the lift THEN the tires, or did you do them at the same time?

Did you notice a change in your ride with the new tires and the lift?

Thanks

Finally got a decent amount of snow to try out my EXO grapplers, they got me through 12"+ of snow with no problem, no tire spin, no sliding.

Been looking at Fuel Anza Matte Anthracite. Can get them in 17x8.5

 

I can't find hardly any pictures with them on a new style chevy/gm I wonder how they would look? I think the anthracite/gunmetal looking gray would contrast well.

I went with the Cognito UCAs and keys. This raised it about 2.75". I didn't do anything to the back.

 

Wheels are 20x9 with Goodyear 285/60/20s. No issues. 4341cda5c9a9d47dd005a81ed064888e.jpgfd4e8809c792c8cf1b7755ec8cabd296.jpg5c80bd8252844a55f6953d0c9a3d410e.jpgf5ca6d12746c82fd6ae15bd42a8a3adb.jpg

 

I see some Fox Coilovers in there... Which model did you go with? Are you only using the fox's for the level?

They are just remote res, not coilover. I wish somebody made them for the 2500.

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I have never seen GM instructions for the other trucks as per the HD with the 6 speed or the half tons but had got the impression that the HD trucks with the 6 speed were not having the same problem that the 10 speed and pan presented. Also video that I have seen of the HD 10 speed with the gas engine starting in 2024 model year showed that it was a real struggle to even make it work when pulling down hard on the exhaust after undoing the exhaust hanger bracket on the side of the transmission as after all there is little room for the pipe to even go down behind the Y joint as it soon would hit a frame cross member. Also that they had tried just like I did with the gasket off and no way was that pan coming out any way they tried to manipulate the pan. From that as well as the local transmission shop talking about the pain in the rear issue, I was not expecting my pan to come out because GM shows it was not even intended to come out without dealing with the exhaust piping.    It would be nice to claim, here's what you do and its easy to remove the pan guaranteed on any HD truck with the gas 10 speed but dollars to donuts the next guy trying what I did would not have the same luck as the exhaust was just manufactured slightly different and be pissed off at my claim that the pan comes out with no issue. Its more of a try and see if your particular truck might work like mine did .... or not !.

      Sorry I didn't see this until now, but it works on both the 6 speed and 10 speeds, as well as all the half tons too.

      Engine vibration after motor mount replacement.

      By 1998sleaze · Posted

      Hello, I have a 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 that I recently changed both motor mounts on due to the driver's side being blown out. After replacement I seem to have a steady vibration that I can feel in the pedals and the back of the seat. At this point I'm convinced that the aftermarket "Anchor" branded mounts I used are not performing as well as OE, the only real reason I ended up using the mounts in question was because my local dealers were out a few months to get a Driver's side mount. I've tried "Neutralizing" the mounts according to the motor mount TSB published for these truck to no avail. My trans mount is also in great shape and seems to be absorbing vibrations swimmingly. As far as I can tell there is no issues idling, my idle RPM is steady and I've recently put GM plugs and wires on, however, I have not cleaned the throttle body or intake valves. Any one else have a similar experience with aftermarket mounts? Patience certainly is a virtue that I wish I exercised here. Thank you!

      I still saw people out for runs, on their bikes/motorcylces, jeeps with the doors off driving around here the past 2 days. I guess we are just used to it here haha.   Tasted like a bonfire the last 2 days.

      By CamGTP · Posted

      The TCM has to be flashed before it can drive.   If you installed it the way it is, it has the OS (operating system/program) from the 2010 truck you got it from. That will not match with the VIN/OS pair that your 2013 truck has.   You can do the full install. Then tow it to a dealership and they can flash the trucks PCM/TCM with the latest program for your VIN.
