Lift / Spacers / Tire size?

EASTEXAS · November 15, 2016

I just made the transition from Ford to GMC via 2017 Sierra 1500 SLT Z71. I have an appointment tomorrow to have a 2" leveling kit installed. I've read that after installation the tires may rub on the upper control arm even with factory tires and wheels (275/55R20). If that is the case what is the remedy? Spacers? What brand and what width? 1.75? What is the largest tire I can run without rub? Thanks!!

I want to clarify that I have used the "search" feature but I don't have time to filter through 1000+ pages of information!

No rub here with stock tires and wheels or with my aftermarket offset wheels and slightly bigger tires (lt275/60r20)

275/60R20 is a safe 33" tire that fits well with a level.

So in other words you're being lazy... There are people working, in school and with kids and side businesses that have time to research. You probably should have done more due diligence before having something installed to know what would and wouldn't work; saves time, money and heartache in the long run.

Well Tyler, apparently reading and comprehension was not your strong suit in school. At the time of my OP nothing had been installed yet. Being that my truck is a 2017 there is not much literature related to my inquiry. Anyway, my dealership installed a 2" leveling kit and rear air bags today, and after discussing further with them they recommend a 275/60r20. In conclusion, I truly hope that you can forgive me for my original post!
