I was thinking about that same size, but might just go ahead and bite the bullet with the 275/70/18 bfg at knowing that I will lose some power and mpg with the larger and heavier LT tires

I've been running 275/65R18's with no lift or level.  I think it's the perfect size tire.  I would stay FAR away from an E load tire.  My Ko2's were E load and wow.... loved them towing and off-road but for daily driving it beats the truck and you up.  I dumped them last weekend for P275/65R18 Nitto G2's.  No looking back. I have been looking for new tires and wheels for my K5 project and seems like tires are now all E load and heavy.  Going with the OEM KO2's from a JL Rubicon Jeep. MUCH lighter and C rated.  Again, stay away from E load unless you tow or haul a lot.

I'm running the same size, but I did a 1.5" level shortly after getting the truck, with no difference in ride quality over non-leveled.  After the stock Goodyears wore out, I replaced them w/ Cooper Discoverers in 276/65R18.  Only a couple of pounds heavier than stock, so very little hit to gas mileage, and still rides good.  WORLD of difference in traction on wet roads and light mud over the stock tires.

Problem is most all 285/65/18's are E-rated tires so much heavier and rougher riding than SL tires. Plus a 285 I think would be close to if not having a rub issue in many cases? I went 265/70/18 with a 1.25 Bilstein level (1.5 spacer before) and I noticed the inch. Wider tires although improve grip in some cases are worse in others mud, snow, ice and have more of an mpg penalty even before the added E-rated tire...

Tyler, do you have any pics of this setup?  I'm torn between using my stock Z71 wheels, which I like and own or buying some 17s, which will ultimately cost me a grand more.  

 

If I could get a P rated 275/70r18 that was in a tire I wanted I'd go that route. Otherwise it's

265/70/r18.  -32.6" and 10.7 wide

285/70r17 - 32.8 and 11.4 wide

Just ordered a set of 10 ply Cooper Discoverer AT3 LTs for my truck in 265/70r18. They will be installed on Thursday, I'll be sure to post some photos. The size was recommended by the tire shop. Apparently 265/65r18 is an odd ball size for a truck tire.

Did you get these installed?  I'm trying to make the same decision for my '14 1500 LTZ Z71. Pics would help!

They should, though, of course, you'll have to get them remounted.
If I recall, my 2017 originally came with 265-65R18s and the 70s aren't much different:
Scratch that, they're nearly a 33.
You might need a 2" level.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I’ve own several successful businesses. I’ve bought homes and lived in different states. I’d witness several generations buy homes and survive in different economic circumstances. You get awful sippy when people have different experiences than you do. You live a life. I’ve lived a life. It seems our experience has been different. You can point out generalized statistics. Some people learn how to thrive when the odds are against them. Living in different states does make a difference in a persons quality of life and economic outcomes and opportunities. That’s a fact Jack. It’s my truth, my life. Hard work and long hours the right environment made my families life easier. And yes moving to a different state increased the odds of that happening. Stats are generalized. People who thrive don’t make excuses. They beat the odds. Others get mad and point to those statistics. I guess that’s you. My post pointed out how you helped people beat the odds. Somehow your panties got in a wad. Go figure.

      Good question, I don't remember for sure but I believe it was the HD. I will check and get back to you.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling what the government, your government, data shows.   It wasn't an argument. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of FACT. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.    fact /făkt/   noun Knowledge or information based on real occurrences. "an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy." Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. "Genetic engineering is now a fact. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact." A real occurrence; an event. "had to prove the facts of the case." The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition • More at Wordnik   If you'd like to disagree call your Senator or Representative and let him know his departments are in error. But you and I? We are not doing this.

      Transmission jumping out of gear while driving.

      By JimCost2014 · Posted

      Probably a one and done post, but do you have a CEL on the dash? Was having issues with my transmission, fortunately only a week, and it turned out to be the transmission harness. Valve body was in good shape, so new harness with all the sensors attached, new fluid, and filter. Seems to have worked so far?

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By Atlas · Posted

      Two interesting tidbits of information which are NOT related were just released.   One, regarding the possible thrust bearing issues / engine failures with the 3.0. Demonworks just did a segment in which they believe they may have found "a" or "the" cause of thrust bearing failures: A missing thrust bearing. If the engine doesn't have all its thrust bearings from the factory, the missing bearing can cause extra play which ends up destroying a nearby thrust bearing which then sends metal through the engine.       Of other importance, Lake Speed Jr released some interest information regarding oil weight selection for the 3.0. Comparisons of:   AcDelco 0w20 Dexos D Mobil 1 ESP x2 0w20 Dexos D Mobil 1 ESP x2 0w30 Mobil 1 ESP x4 0w40. Mobil Delvac 5w40   Spoiler alert: The Mobils are PAO Ester -base and the ACDelco is a Group III base. Mobil shows lower wear in their tests for similar weights. Additive packages between 20-30-40 weight ESP's appear to be the same, but only 0w20 is Dexos D licensed. Wear is even more reduced with 30 and 40 weight ESP although all perform very well and resist shear and provide very similar viscosities within temperature operating ranges in the 3.0.   There are even more surprises, so just go watch it.
