I had to have mine road force balanced. They needed alot of weights to balance. Could have been my new wheels too.

 

They ride smooth now at 38psi cold.

 

I have 275/65r20 on 2 1/4 leveling kit and don't rub at all on a 2wd.

Please post some pics of this set up. I'm trying to decide between the 275/60 and 275/65-20 size.

Haha I felt the same, but no trimming with this size. But of course it would look a little better with the 285's but then comes the art project

the 285/55/20 will also fit with no trimming or rubbing with level

I narrowed my choice between the KO2's and Duratrac's. Went with the KO2's in 275/70/R18 on my factory wheels. I think they look great!

You ran the OWL on stockers like a boss!! I've been looking at rims (like the Fuel PVD Nutz), but IMO that stocker has a unique pattern that really compliments the truck. The new KO2s look really nice, but I'm concerned about that 60+ # of weight....what's the seat of the pants feel with the new tires (acceleration, braking, ride)?

Thanks! I'm real happy with the way it turned out. I haven't noticed anything in the acceleration, but just a little bit on braking. The ride is still nice and smooth. If you really "try" to notice the difference, there is probably a slight amount of stiffness from the tires. These small trade off are will worth the great looks and increased traction come this winter. You won't regret it.

I'm looking at getting these but I noticed that each tire is 16lbs heavier than the stock Goodyears is that gonna result in ball joints etc wearing out quicker and am I going to lose any towing capacity? I have the 4.3

You will lose mpg. Component wear? Maybe slightly do you have a level kit?

No sir I do not I want one but it's a lease idk how my dealership feels about it the service guy said it's ok it won't void anything but some can be a little bit of a liar I am thinking of putting one on tho will that benefit me or make it worse in component wear

I have a 2015 all terrain with a 1.5 inch RC leveling kit. I've seen the pics of guys running 275 60 20 bfg all terrains at stock height and was wondering if I could get away with the 275 65 20 size?

    • 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.
