2017 Sierra z71 35's with 3.5 inch level?

[Daniel0730]

I have a 2017 GMC sierra z71 with a 2" understrut  level and also a 1.5" spacer above the strut. Right now I have 33's on stock 20's and no rubbing what so ever. The front end is a tad higher than the back. Has anyone else put a 3+ inch level and ran 35's with minor to no trimming? If anyone could let me know and post pictures if you have them that would be awesome. Also tire sizes if you have ran 35's on just a level.

A guy in mississippi ran 35s on 22s with a 3” level and no rear blocks and says he didnt scrub at all so

Yeah lol. If I went with 35's I would keep the rear blocks in. Its just hard to imagine that they wouldn't rub a lot cause ive heard of some people having to trim with a 6" lift and 35's

I have a 6" with 35s all I had to trim was front valance just a little

You better watch your angles with that much level....

I plan on doing a 6" one day but I like this look right now just want 35's. I took my valence off so I might not rub if I squeezed 35's in there. I know with only 2" in the front you can fit 33's but with 3.5" im wondering if I could

What the heck are you trying to accomplish? Truck looks like hell the way it sits now & you want to make it even worse?!?!!

 

Get the suspension/stance squared away first then worry about bigger tires, I wouldn't drive down the street w/ my truck looking like that.

A 3.5" level based on all that I've read and witnessed can be extremely harsh on your suspension components.  You may be inadvertently increasing the cost of your future 6" lift plans.  I would recommend getting a proper lift first and buy the 35's "one day".

I’ll be a little less harsh; but what are you trying to accomplish.  If you’re just mall crawling, then I guess it’s no big deal.  If you’re going to use the truck as a truck, in any way, than this setup is less than ideal.  If actual off-road driving is your goal than I’d go a different route.

Just leave it leveled and do the norcal mod. Toyota guys have no problem trimming their metal fenders, maybe we should be the same  

 

jk dont do that. And 3.5" level would be brutal on your ball joints. truck would ride like chit

Are you keeping stock rims?

 

I just put the 3.5" Superlift kit on my 2018 and put 295/60/20 (34 x 11.6) Toyo AT2s on it with stock rims.  Kit is UCA and spacer along with differential drop.  The tires scrub the upper control arm at full lock. I'm going to try a 1/4" spacer to see if it helps.  Tires would fit with no issue if I didn't want to keep stock rims.  My 2016 had a 2.25 level with 275/65/20 (34 x 10.8) and it cleared fine but I had to tie back and trim the fender liner just a little in front.

 

I wouldn't want to go to a 35" tire, especially on the stock rims.  With a different offset I don't see it being an issue other than maybe trimming the liner and rear mudflap a little.

 

Ignore the fact that the truck is dirty
