Does the truck in the pic have the lift? It looks good, I was thinking 3.5 or 4, the only way to know is mount one up and drop it down, turn to turn and you will know. I wouldn't trust any other way. I want the same tires you want, I had 325s on an Excursion and they look great. Those were 18s so these 20s will look great. So if this doesn't fit, and I would avoid spacers, you get to buy new rims.

yes lift is installed in this pic new tires end of week

looks nice! I will be in same boat soon. I am installing the Ready lift kit with new upper CA and tie rods. Same lift height, new fox shocks all around.

I like my rims and want to keep them but believe the back spacing will not be right, they say will rub on full lock but can use original wheels with up to 35x12.5.

There is someone in forum who put 35's on stock wheels and just cranked up stock keys all the way. Cant imagine the ride is too great...

Without a wheel spacer, I think you'll rub the sway bar or frame with the 325's on stock rims. A 35x12.50x20 or 295/65/20 should fit though.

I think either way you will still hit control arm on full lock. Even with 35 x 12.5...Only one way to find out! Lol

Pics with new meat?

pics or it didn't happen

MotionMan · August 19, 2016

Yup. I do like the lift, I'm sure the tires will really wake it up.

With the cognito stage 4 level, would we be able to fit 35x12.50s on the 2500? It seems like everyone and their kid brother has a half ton and made a thread about it. Not too many threads on the heavy chevys..

I have been reading all these as well and have been chiming in . I have same truck as you (GMC 2500).
