I’m running 1” on the front and 1.25 on rear. (With stud trimming) and they run “visibly” equal. I believe that you will have to get at least 1.75 spacer to keep from trimming studs, depending on what wheel your running. Some wheels have “pockets” to allow for some of the studs to set in without trimming excess that is sticking out. I agree with purchasing quality spacer like bora.

My only thing that bugs me about my truck is that the drivers side literally sticks out like 5” to 3/4” more then the passenger side. Like if the body of the truck is not sitting center on the frame. Weird! But I haven’t done much research so I’m betting this is pretty normal on most GM truck. Hope this helps! Good luck

mine is the EXACT same way. the bed sits (on mine at least) 1/4" to the passengers side causing the tire to stick out more on the drivers side of the bed. I measured from the frame rail to the wheel well on the bed to figure it out.

This tire size is very close to stock and I suspect the rubbing is a result of the level.  I wonder if switching to a smaller level kit would eliminate the rubbing?   A 1" or 1.5" level kit may  provi

BORA is the brand name of quality bolt on adapters: http://www.motorsport-tech.com/special/truck/chevy_s   I personally wouldn't use the Rough County brand spacers, they're lug centric,

Hello all, Have a 2017 Sierra Z71 with Falken 275/65R18 on it.With stock wheels. I want a more aggressive look so im putting on some Rough Country 2 " spacers. Rear is no problem but the fronts are going to rub in the mud flap area. Has anyone done this to this year and model and what did you have to modify. TIA

      Uh yes, that's the name of the package. It doesn't quite bring it up to 1 ton specs unfortunately and imagine they have to do that for a numbers reason rather than a physical one.    Am I correct though that the Max Trailer Package and therefore the 12" rear is only available on the Duramax and not on any of the L8T 3/4 ton trucks ( and that the same 11.5 rear axle center section is used on the 3/4, 1 ton SRW and even 1 ton dually gas version ) ?   I'd also be curious to know if the wheel bearings are the same on a SRW configuration between an 11.5 vs the 12" diff as I assume parts would show that up but may not explain what the difference is if indeed there was a physical difference.

      Mobil up another dime this am , $3.89, others will probably go up later. Any ideas on the reason for the increase other than greed? I've been working 14 hour days and haven't caught the news in a few days.

      AMSOIL SS is about prevention and it is very good at it's job. I've never seen it claim to be a cleaner however like Valvoline R&P. Almost any oil that has some Ester or Alkylated Naphthalene in sufficient quantity will do a good job at keeping the rings functional.     I see the market splint among these types in two groups; those that use the same tech in every weight grade and those that reserve the tech for the EPA (EPA) friendly grades. Mobil 1 for example keeps the Advanced Clean chemistry out of the SAE 40 and up weights. Other like HPL (top shelf group and No-VII), Red Line HP, TORCO, MPT30K use the tech in all grades. Just not something the Wally World oils are into.
