If you have 285/65r20 + 2.5" level step in..

dubwise · October 12, 2017

I presently have 2.5" level and trying to decide between BFG KO2s 275/65r20's or 285/65r20's .

The latter is significantly more expensive. I've searched quite a bit on here and only found a hand full of guy running 285/65r20s on a 2.5" level. Of the pix I have found, one looks like that setup is "stuffing them in the wheel wells", while the guy running the exact same setup looked perfectly fine.

If you have that setup please post up pix! Or if you have the 275/65r20s and wish you had gone bigger, please chime in also!

Higher than 2.5, but would clear just fine.

Currently running BFG KO2's 285/65 R20's on a 2.5 inch level and a 2 inch rear level.

Fire2968 · October 17, 2017

So which kit are you using? the RC 2.5" that comes with the rear block? And you get no rubbing at all ??

dubwise · October 17, 2017

Thanks guys, keep 'em coming!

@Johnv76 How are you liking that setup? Any chance you could post up some fender measurements?

Leveled with 285/65/20 KO2s

got9seconds · January 2, 2018

Hello All!

Thanks to this web site and the kind people who have given the information I have gotten here, I was able to pull the plug and go with my leveling kit and 285/65/R20's.

Here are the specifics - Work was performed by RMT Off Road in Fort Collins, Colorado. I highly recommend them for ANY work you need done. I used them because they were an authorized installer to save my new truck warranty as this truck only has 6,000 miles on it.

Traxda 3"+1" leveling kit - (before tires, I gained 2-3/4" height at the front)
OEM 20" x 9" wheels - No Spacers
285/65/R20 BFG KO2's

Measurements after Level & KO2's

At front license plate - ground to the top of the bumper at body line - 25-3/16" Originally...............Leveled - 29-7/16"

At receiver hitch - 18-13/16" Originally...............Leveled 20-5/16"

At front fender - 36-1/4" Originally..................Leveled 40-1/8"

At back fender - 38-1/2" Originally..................Leveled 41-3/4"

I get very minor rubbing at full lock, only on the driver side. It rubs about a quarter size spot at the rear of the well lining, toward the frame. I will tie this back with a zip tie this spring when the weather is warmer. It is so slight that I can wait until then to do this.

Thanks again to everyone on this site for their input and help.

I ended up with the 275/65-R20 KO2s - got a deal from 4wheel parts I could not pass up.

With the 2.5" front leveling kit the fenders measure 39.5" front and 40.5" in rear w/stock block.

Before and after:

Are the measurements backwards? It looks nose high.

If you are talking to me the measurements are correct. Pics may be a bit deceiving but it has about 1" of rake.

dubwise - I think your truck looks AWESOME! Nicely done!

Today I took off the GMC emblem from the tail gate, added some bling to the tail gate handle, and changed the front grille emblem letters to the white carbon fiber!

Looking better every day!
