So I ended up going with the ridge grapplers in 285/50/22.  Just have the rough county 2” up front nothing in the rear.  What pressures are y’all running? Tire shop has mine set anywhere from 35-39 seems low for the load e tires

Thanks so much for taking the time to post the photos.

 

Your truck with the 4 inch Fabtech lift does indeed look bad ass!

For simplicity right now I am going to start with the SuspensionMaxx 2.5" level and 1" in the back and see how I like it while I get the topper, tow mirrors and chrome delete sorted and go from there. Then decide about tires to get it all buttoned up!

Good to know the Fabtech 4" lift is a solid option! Did it require any metal cutting or grinding of the exsisting truck set up?

 

Cheers

What size spacers are you running?

2016 Silverado - 2" rough country leveling kit - 285/55/22 Nitto Terra Grappler G2's 

 

It rubs pretty bad in forward/reverse at about  3/4 turn. Honestly the look of it is well worth the tire rub, so I deal with it for right now...just a three point turn takes 4 now haha!  I made a detailed youtube video on the tires and rubbing issues - check it out! (Or type in my channel name 'AJ LoDato'.  Hopefully this helps some of you out.

2017 GMC Denali with OEM 22's. I have a 2.5" Suspension Maxx leveling kit on the front, stock on the rear. Bottom pic is with the stock 285/45/22's and the top pic I just had the Nitto Terra Grappler G2 put on today in 285/55/22. Slight rub on the right front when turned to the right backing up, no other rub anywhere. I think the pic is an optical illusion as it appears to sit a little higher in the front after the new tires, but measure 39.5" up front and 40" in the rear from the ground to the wheel well.

So did anyone have to cut any metal to make the 285/55/22 Ridge Grapplers fit? or just plastic?

also if anyone has any more pics on instagram on their setup comment your username so I can see more pics. Thanks.

Hey, I really like instagram for this! The fact that we can share photos of our trucks with those who are really interested in it and not just for likes and followers is great and it makes us post more as we know that there's someone out there who is really interested in it. Though, when I just was opening my new business and made a page on instagram I didn't know how to reach out to people so I used this automatic likes and comments to attract more people from throughout the world with the same interests.

im not sure if anyone has had an issue with rubbing.   but ill give a little background on the truck, 

2015 z71 CC - 3.5 RC lift - OE 22 with 285/55 ridge grapplers - Zone fender plates - pocket fenders

 

so i was ok for a long time and the only rub i was getting was on the sway bar both sides.  i wanted to fill out the pocket fenders so i added 2in hubcentric spacers.   the only rub i have now is rear of the drivers side fender,    the passanger side has about a good 3/8 to 1/2in clearance on the same spot.   

im confused as to why its only the drivers side rubbing?

    • So I'm in the middle of a DOD AFM delete on my 6.2 L86 Sierra. I had a pick holding the tensioner but after I got the Cam phaser gear off I was cleaning off all the rtv and apparently I didn't have the pick seated far enough in. I bumped it and the tensioner sprang forward.  I think everything is good but I want a second opinion. The top of the tensioner is just a looped piece of plastic that rides in that channel right? There is no spring or anything is there? I got the gear and chain back on and it seems tight and everything looks right. I'm hoping nothing fell out.
    • My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.
    • 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?
    • 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. 
    • 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.
