Truck looks awesome. I would agree with your comment about the aggressive tread as I have 275/60/20 in just Michelins and they do not rub at all with a 2" lift.

Thanks Doobs, yea I'm just gonna trim it. I really didn't want to but oh well. Trucks never even used to have those liners anyway hahaha

Does your silverado have the inner wheel well liners or not? I was thinking that I might step up a size when I replace the tires but I do NOT want lift my truck. Does not look like very much room around these factory 275/55 R20's to the wheel liners!

I still have everything factory in my wheel wells. No rubbing with zero lift and the 275/60/20s.

I don't think I'll ever be able to decide between 2in level w 275/60/20 or 2.5in with 1in taller block and 275/65/20.

hahaha yeah I am in the same boat as I mentioned earlier in this thread...I put a deposit down for layaway on BFG ta K02's in 275/60 (running dedicated winter tires @ the moment so took advantage of not having to pay for the BGF's all @ once) - I changed it to 275/65 then back to 275/60 again lol!

The sales rep @ the tire store was like "dude - I have these in stock all the time, just decide when you get them installed & if you don't like how they fit/look you can make up your mind then" - so that's what I'm gonna do, go w/ the 275/65's & I'll have a day or 2 to drive around on them & decide if they're right or not....there's only a 3.5 lb difference between the 2 sizes, but the 275/65 is 34" 10 ply while the 275/60 is 33" 8 ply

Thanks man! I couldn't be happier with it myself. It's a Motofab 2" in the front and 1" in the rear (2" blocks) but I also have Hellwig 987 helper springs on the rear so they brought it up about an inch as well.

 

It has about 2" of rake... I was shooting for 1.5" but that's how it turned out. I do tow a TT in the summer months so I wanted some rake. The Hellwig's stiffin the ride but not much. Very pleased with how it looks and feels.

SierraJon,

 

How are you liking the Hellwig 987 with the 2" blocks? I just put a 2.5" RC level kit, but was switching up to 3" blocks and I have been reading about the Hellwig and I was debating to put a set on with my 3" blocks but wasn't sure. I am looking at putting Toyo AT2 295/55r20 or 305/55r20's on my ride, leaning towards the 305's.

So far they are great. The ride is a little more firm in the rear but I kinda think it's for the better. Definitely not to a fault. I haven't towed the TT with it yet... It's winterized. So I can't speak to that yet.

Just put some (275/60R20 Cooper H/T Plus with -12 offset rims) on a 2014 Silverado only leveled with Bilstein 5100's. Doesn't rub going forward at all, maybe if you hit a bump on full turn but I tried some turns at full with no run. DOES rub in reverse at just a titch before full turn in either direction. Very noticeable rub but nothing that will hurt anything. Again this is with a -12 offset rim. Sounds like stock offset rims will not rub.

Guys that are running 275/60/20 on stock suspension, did your fuel mileage decrease or remain the same? How's the ride vs stock? I know there is only a 1" difference between the this tire and factory, but I would think fuel mileage would slightly decrease in stop and go driving. I am getting Yokohama ATs in either this size or the factory 275/55/20 on factory all terrain wheels, so I'm hoping there would be no rub whatsoever as I don't really want to level it. Thanks.

Mine decreased about 2 mpg or so from the factory Continental CrossContacts. Feels like city driving suffered more than highway. Ride is probably firmer and I feel like my chevy shake is a tad worse, but with placebo factored in there probably isn't much of a difference in the ride itself. I'm going to be switching to 17's and Fierce Attitudes, also on stock suspension, soon as well.

    • 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.  
    • Yes your absolutely right, I been looking at the 4 inch BDS one and it acutely states you can use the stock 20’s just not the 17’s or 18’s, I also didn’t realize that with my 275/60r20 stock wheels I’m already running 33 inch diameter wheel setup lol so I can just run my stock wheels and tires atleast to start.
    • I would expect that to be lift-kit dependent.  If the kit has interference issues w stock wheels, then the kit/manufacturer should indicate that somewhere.
