Anybody running a 2 inch level with 275/65/20's and not rubbing? And if you are rubbing where and how bad?

Considering same size, interested in hearing from others.  Will be going with Fox 2.0 coilovers.

Yes, I ran Duratracs in that size while leveled 2" for a long time.  After zip tying back the fender liners (in the back of the wheelwell) I had no rubbing.

I'm riding on a set of 285/75/18, which is maybe 1/4 to 1/2" taller than the 275/60/20 (I think?).  I have the RC 2.5" lift, which is basically a leveling kit with a short block in the rear, so I think it'd be apples to applesish.

 

If I'd been smart enough to come read this forum first, I might have just zip tied back the wheelwell felt, but instead I trimmed the wheelwell felt back until they didn't rub.  IF I really turn the wheels to lock, I will get a little rubbing in reverse, but otherwise I am quite pleased with the look and the ride.  

 

I can probably get some pics of the trimming I did, if that would help.

Can you post some pictures of your truck please, I have been looking at this size tire.

Sorry for posting a pic of a dirty truck, but this is real life if you grow up to be one o' my trucks...

2nd and 3rd pics are of the rear of the front wheelwells at full left and right lock.

FWIW, AFTER I did all that cutting, I read on here that some people were just zip tying their felt wheelwells back.  I never tried that, but would have preferred that method if it works on this size tire.

    • You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling. 
    • You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built. 
    • Diesel hit $6.00 here today at the truck stop.   Payed $2.79 for E85 today too.
    • Thanks for posting, I'm sure it will help someone
