I can't find any mud in the parking lot of my local mall.

I'll lift the entire truck 1" not just the front. Maybe 1.25 front and 1" back. We'll see.

Just had the KO2's put on, 275/65R20 with a 2" BDS level. No rubbage.

 

 

Hoping you were telling the truth. UPS just dropped off a set of Cooper ATP in 275/65-20 that will be mounted this weekend. I have the Rancho Quicklift. With the Rancho QL (and even before), when I crank my wheel all the way to the right in reverse, the front passenger side 275/55-20 rubs a bit on the liner.

Let us know how it goes and post up some pics when they're on!

So far (200 miles), I'm loving the Cooper ATP 275/65-20 (34") tires. With the OEM 275/55-20 (32") , when I was backing up with wheels at full right lock, I'd get rubbing on the wheel well liner, so I still have it, but no rubbing at all unless at extreme right lock. I'm going to try to zip tie the corner of the liner back and if that doesn't get it done, I am not scared of scissors. I have the Rancho Quick Lift at all four corners. The Coopers look a hell of a lot meaner than the SRA's. Man the SRAs are just craptastic tires. Already had two flats with them in 7K. The Coppers are just barely noticeably louder, but nowhere close to mud tires' constant hum. I was worried that I'd lose some ride quality going to the 10 ply, but the extra 1" of sidewall height seems to cancel it out- I can't tell that they're any more rough/ stiff. The best part is that Discount Tire Direct jsut had a deal on eBay for $100 off $400 purchases, so I bought two sets of two tires and saved $200 and Cooper had a rebate going so I will be getting another $70 back from them. All in all, I'm out $758 for the tires and $80 to mount and balance. The installer did tell me ahead of time that mounting them would peel off some of the plastidip around the edge of the rims, so I will either peel it all off or re-dip, maybe in black this time.

Excuse my dumb question as I'm new to all of this and it's my first truck ? but what kind of leveling kit or loft do I need to run 33x12.50 or is there a size that's similar to this?

I just got mine on Friday. Had them mounted on my all terrain wheels powder coated satin or semi gloss black. 275/60/20

Those rims look great powdercoated black! Approx how much did that cost?

The stock 275/55-20 tires are 32" tall and 10.8" wide. 275/60-20 tires are 33" tall and 10.8" wide. The ones I just had put on are 275/65-20 and are 34" tall and 10.8" wide. You can run the 33" tall 10.8" wide tires without a lift. The Rancho Quick Lifts I put on lifted the front end about 2" and allow me to run the 34" x 10.8" with very minimal rubbing- just on the wheel well liner. With a tire that is 12.5" wide, I'd think you'd be looking at different wheels and/or a spacer to move the wheels further out from the truck body. With a 12.5" wide tire, you should expect to lose maybe 2 to 3 mpgs from the increased wind they're pushing and increased rolling resistance. Kind of like how a racing 10 speed road bike has little skinny tires to make it easier to go faster than the same bike with mountain bike tires.

Also interested in the cost on powder coating.

What size rims will you be using? If we know that, then we can give you a few options in metric sizes that will be close. And, just about any 2"-2.5" level kit will clear a 33" tire (or close to it).

500$ Canadian. So like 10$ US

500$ Canadian. Only because they have to do the center cap in a special way with urethane or something. Without center caps I was quoted 375$ Canadian.

I would be running stock rims so I guessing that wont work? Just want to fill up the wheel well more I'm trying to decide between 275/65 or 275/70

For guys running the 285/65r18's what psi are you running? I'm gonna run 45F 42R for the next few days, it came back from the dealer at 30 which I thought was too low.

      No low range 4 x 4

      My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.

      Ac not keeping up

      By Aimatdeer · Posted

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
