Well I thought I would post an update.. 

 

I decided going with a 2.5” level in the front.. and ended up getting a sweet deal on new wheels and rubber that I couldn’t turn down.. 

 

heres a pic of her now! Very excited and turned out better than I expected!! It’s squatting a bit in the rear with the oem wheels in the back lol once they were out it was back level lol

Alright guys looking for a little help. I picked up a set of the stock LTZ 22's this weekend and have read though this entire post to see if my current set up will accommodate the 22's with Nitto Terra Grappler G2 Tires in 285/55R22. Current set up is 2016 Silverado 1500 LT CC Standard Bed and I have the RC 2" level. Seems that everyone that is running that size of tire is running the 2.5" kit. I am sure I will have rubbing of the liner and what sounds like possibly rubbing of the factory mud guard. Is there anything else and or am I going to need to increase my level/lift to the 2.5"?

Hey Whaley,

 

i honestly think you'll  be okay.. the G2's arent a super luggy tire (correct me if im wrong).. i currently have the 2.5" level, 20x10-24 with 33x12.5's.. they are the comforser MT's so they are quite luggy and i only rub a small bit of plastic (inner cab corner) in reverse.. 

 

seeing as how the 285/55R22 equals about a 34x11.2 I really think you'll  be okay.. the stock tires that came on my stock 22's were 285/45R22, you're really only going up in height and staying the stock width!

Sure, let me know what else you'd like to know. I'm running the uniball kit with the heavy duty ball joints

 

I'm running a Terra Grappler G2 in a 285/55/22, which measures out to 34.4", only .2" smaller than a true 35". It's roughly .5" thinner. I chose to run a 1" spacer and I am really happy with the look. You will read people go back and forth with their opinion of/on spacers. I did my research and I am happy with my decision. I may at some point get wheels but I wanted to keep the OEM look, just a little more aggressive.

 

My Denali is a 2017 1500, crew cab, short bed,

4WD.

 

I'm running the factory 22" that comes with the Denali ultimate package.

 

I have a 1-1.5" section of my fender liner where I rub on the driver side when I turn left in reverse. I haven't trimmed anything else or removed the lower bumper valance.

 

 

I was really surprised when the other member was running this tire on a level kit. That's a massive tire on just a level. It has to rub ..The kit I have is designed for 33s, and it seems like it barely fits the tires I run... I had a 2.5 level before this and there's no way they would have fit.

 

I'd highly recommend the Fabtech kit. It integrated nicely with Magnaride and I truly think the majority of the additional roughness is from the 10ply tires. I'd say it rides like a 2500 HD.

 

Hope this helps!

Your truck is awesome!

 

I just had the 4” Fabtech installed on my Sierra Denali yesterday.  I am running 285/55r22 Terra’s on stock oem 22s with a 1.25” spacer.   I have rubbing inside the fender well closest to the cab.  

 

I was told by the shop that the wheel spacers were not needed for clearance so I’m going to have one removed to see if that alleviates the rubbing issue.  

 

Did you do any trimming or alterations to the back of the fender well?

I have a 2018 Silverado 6.2 with the max tow package. I have a 1.5 inch level front block set up. I actually like the 1.5 as it seems the trucks with the max towing package the suspension is a little different, I'm only sitting about 3/4 of an inch lower in the front now . My question is , I want to put on 285/55/22 and I'm wondering if I'll have to much rubbing. I do know from past experiences that the stamped steel upper control arm does not have as much clearance vs the aluminum control arm. I previously has 275/60/20 Cooper discover HT plus tires on my factory 20 inch wheel. They did rub slightly at full lock. However even though the Cooper tiers were still a 275 they were considerably wider than factory, the tred was over an inch wider and the sidewall to sidewall was almost 2 inchs wider.  I was curious at to how wide the 285/55/22 would be. I'm sure it's going to depend on what tire brand I choose. I need to start looking at what's out there for choices in that size or possibly a 285/50/22.

Got my 285/55/22 ridge grapplers bolted on the stock GM rally 22” wheels.   Truck has 2.5/1 Rough Country level.   I get a very minor rub in reverse at full lock.   Could not be happier.   They are very quiet!   This thread was very helpful in making my decision.  Thanks!

1st post ever here.  I bought a 2018 slt crew over the summer. So far I installed a Dinali grill, leveled it with 2” rough country kit, and installed replica GM 22” wheels with 285/55/22 terra grapplers.  Rubs only in reverse at full lock. Very slight and I think it’s on the inside rear of wheel well. There’s a little room to tie that back or maybe hit it with heat gun.  Not much room for it to go because there’s metal behind it pretty close.  

 

Anyway. I’m so happy with how it looks. I used my diablewsport to calibrate the speedo. It was 4mph slow.  Now it reads 2mph fast which I sort of like

Does anyone know how to re learn the TPMS?  I bought new AC Delco sensors but I’ve read you need a tool for trucks after 2010/11. Was hoping I could use the Diablosport Intune but I didn’t see it in any of the menus

I bought one of these to relearn mine after the dealer forgot to when tires got rotated. Works like a charm on my 15 Silverado.

Thanks for the reply... on your advice I ordered a similar tool....I know it’s only a few bucks but it  just chaps my hind parts that I have to buy a tool for this.  On my other gm vehicles over the years it was easy to do without any tool.

 

Also got an early Christmas present.  upon removing the cheesy plastic skid plate I discover that I have a nice sized oil leak.   Not just seepage... it’s actual drops on the plate and you can see them on the steering as well. This is a 2018 truck with 3100 miles on it.  I realize all I need to do is go to the dealer and tell them to make it go away but it’s annoying lol

Finally broke down and did it. OEM 22s and 35/12.50r22 trail grapplers under a 3in level

When you say OEM 22s, is this GM 22" wheels, or the brand "OEM" replica wheels?

True OEM would be GM made wheels with GM part numbers on them.  In most cases wheels that came off a GM vehicle or “take offs”.  Replicas are copies of the GM wheels.  They look the same and have the same dimensions.  The replicas I used look to be of good quality and they say they meet DOT specs for safety.   As for the actual quality, I can’t say.

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I just can't think of the exact term GM uses for that higher gvw package without looking at the website but basically sort of a trailering package and I imagine it may also have been created to skirt around the licensing fee differences between a3/4 and 1 ton that apply in some states although ironically I believe in some states its the reverse that a 1 ton is the cheaper truck to license over a 3/4 ton. It makes no difference here in Alberta but oddly enough a 1 ton through my insurance company is a bit cheaper to insure over a 3/4 ton as its based on the insurance statistics they generate.    For sure when ever you do have the chance to weigh your truck and to be fair, try to have the fuel tank full or nearly so rather than give yourself a false sense of the truck being lighter by having an almost empty tank.    In my other comment I was mentioning stock sized tires and partly in case someone was reading this and thinking they could lower their pressure down to what your aftermarket tires are able to do with your empty truck as that is a vastly different picture in the leeway you have to play with for running minimum pressures while remaining safe. I will say also that its easy to see from reactions of truck owners that may have been more used to owning a half ton in the past or a car and be it on a forum like this or in person etc that they get so wrapped up in that placard pressure sticker that they can't get their head wrapped around the fact that an HD truck due to how much it can carry can also vary the tire pressures drastically lower than those pressures ( typically more so for the rear axle on stock sized tires ) when empty vs some car that isn't made to carry much so the tire pressures can't be lowered since it needs almost that much pressure just to carry the empty car.    If I ever do find myself in the states with this truck, I will only be too happy to switch it over to the US measuring system as then I will understand all the dash readings. The only thing that is off for me slightly with US measurements is US miles per gallon as I grew up with the Imperial gallon and to this day up here anyway speak in Imperial miles per gallon ( I don't do that on this forum though as that would confuse everyone for no good reason ).

      Yes that's right, it's the upgrade that includes the overload spring and all that stuff.   Someday when I'm empty and going by a scale I'm going to stop in and get some weight readings.   Exactly  you should have the ability to change individual settings, in in Canada so I'm driving with kph but then I'm stuck with kpa when I want psi lol

      You must have that upgraded gvw package which is only available or at least was in 2025 with the diesel engine for the 3/4 ton and that gave the truck physically the larger 12.0 ring gear rear diff and the 3500 rear spring pack. There is a difference in what the diff housing looks like externally as one tell tale and also your truck should have the upper overload spring pack and the frame pads that the pack goes up against.    The pressure the tpms system kicks the alarm in on a stock setting truck, that is a good question and was just from what I recall but I doubt I made any notes on it as I knew for the rear that it was not at all what I was after regardless either. Being that you have a diesel and if running on stock tires the minimum pressure on an empty truck seems to be around 50 psi from hearing of those that have weighted the front axle but the rear axle is very similar in weight to a gas truck and again a near empty truck on the rear could go down to 35 pounds at minimum. However the weigh scale is the proper way to know for sure as a guide.    As to changing the readings on the dash from metric to the US measuring system, oh yes that is done easily but what I was attempting to explain was that I can't pick and choose items I want to have in US and those I still want in the metric system at the same time as its either all or none. For example lets say you drove into Canada and switched your dash over to metric so your speedometer read in km an hour, well then your reading kilopascals on your tpms readout and your wife looks over and says what the hell is that saying in the tpms screen and you say "darned if I know, I think its Chinese" !

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      This is partly why I decided to have switched over to Amsoil SS as a way of hopefully preventing the buildup of the sludge/carbon on the pistons and clogging of the oil control rings and the carbon that would cause the compression rings to stick in their grooves as well as stay cleaner up top of the heads in the valve train in the first place, an oil that has tested better by third party testing over typical shelf oil and also doing my best to run relatively short OCI. However in saying that I don't think there is any way to easily prove the oil I was using prior allowed for a buildup at the OCI I was doing, nor in the other direction to make claims the Amsoil is keeping everything clean either. There really isn't a window into the engine is there to know anything for certain even if oil samples were taken for example that showed still healthy oil being dropped out of the oil pan other than engine tear downs that extensive and expensive testing of oils does to actually visually see what is really going on inside the engine. I wish there was some easy method of seeing what is going on but I don't happen to be aware of that if there is.

      My truck is a ¾ ton but my placard also says 80 for the rear tires, I think I might have the upgraded suspension to the 3500 series maybe.   I put my air down to 60 and the light was still on, and there was no way I was putting over 60 psi in the rear empty and not towing because I knew the actual number Toyo gave me and I didn't wanna ruin the center of my tires!   And you actually can change it in the settings from metric or is and it will show kph or mph then when you go into your tire settings it will be either psi or kpa, but it would be nice to just change it directly on the tire psi page
