Help with my 2015 Midnight

ChevyRebel8 · May 4, 2017

Hi guys,

I have a 2015 midnight silverado. I've been in the process of customizing certain aspects of the truck. But wanted your guys' opinion on somethings.

I'm currently on the stock ride height and stock wheels/tires. What do you guys recommend me doing if i wanted it to be raised up a bit so I can add fender flares? I'm very new to the truck scene so it's a learning process.

Would fender flares and a bull bar look bad on stock ride height? If so, what should I do tire/wheel wise?

thanks for the time guys

You don't need to be taller for fender flares if that's the route you want to go.

But I'd recommend a wider tire if you're getting fender flares. 295 or 305 width. Otherwise it's going to look funny.

fox 2.0 leveled

stock tires and leved with no air dam.

IMO the bullbar and fender flares are going to look ridiculous on a stock and or leveled truck-especially with stock wheels and tires.

That looks awesome. Any rubbing? What offset are those wheels?

I have a 2016 Midnight and have no idea what to do:

Waffle daily between Bilsteins and 33's vs Fox 2.0's and 33's vs BDS/Zone 6"/6.5" and 35's

Love the look of 35's but ride quality is the #1 priority (I'm coming from a Raptor and am forever ruined) and I want it to still fit in my garage which makes me lean towards the first two options.

I can tell you how a 2016 Midnight will ride/look with Fox 2.0s once MRT sends me the front coilovers! I've got the rear 2.0s and a new 2" block ready to go.

Then in another 2-3 months I'll have 10-ply 33s.

Dam you are deffiently forever ruined. If i was you i would just level it with either shocks and do 33s. u dont want to go to a awful handling 6 inch lift and 35s make these feel so sluggish. Raptor can handle all that way better cuz it was built for a purpose.

your in for a treat. 2.0 coilovers completly changed the truck, then i put these heavy ass nittos on it (73 Lbs) kind of went backwards a little. Im gonna get a 305/65/18 all terrain tire soon,(around 60Lbs). should be the sweet spot i think.

Did you do a bigger block in the rear? or the rear shocks?

And the 275/70/18 BFGs are 33.2" ~ 58 lbs

I would try a 285/70/18 - but they don't make that in a KO2.

That is a wide 33" tire!

i havent done a block in the rear cuz i have the sumo springs load helpers. the 2.0s in the back made the ride alot less bouncy
