Ready Lift 2" SST for TB

17x9 Fuel Zephyr

315/70/17 AMP Terrain Pro A/T's. 

NO rub at full lock going forward, only a bit of rubbing at full lock in reverse on the mud flap and juuuust a tad on the felt fender liner. Haven't gotten around to playing with spacers or doing any trimming, but I'm sure anyone with just a bit of experience would make light work of getting rid of the rubbing all together.

275/70r18 BFG K02's on 1.75" spacers.  Slight rub on reverse at full turn, not enough to do anything about.

Stock suspension Trail Boss with 295/70r18 Falken Wildpeak tires and 1.5in BORA wheel spacers. Just the right amount of stance and lift in my opinion. No rubbing at all since I trimmed the front mud flaps and removed the little brackets hidden behind them.

Hi everyone, I've been looking for a clear answer to help make my decision, input is appreciated.

 

Purchased the RL leveling kit, havent installed it yet, my goal is to run Ridge Grappler 295/70/18 on my stock wheels.

 

Can this be done? I dont want to purchase the tires and find out they wont fit the UAC from RL.

 

Thank you

It won’t fit with the stock rims unless you get spacers. The tires will rub on the RL UCAs. That’s why I had to change my wheels to fit 295/70/18

Curious, what size spacer? I’m running a 1-1/2” but my SST kit goes on in a few week. Looking at either those tires or a 35x11.50 or even a 12.50 if I can clear the UCA with no trimming or maybe the dumb mudflap mod.

To be sure it fits, RL recommends offset of 0 for rims and that’s what I have but if you want to keep the stock rims, then the offset difference is 26mm so about 1.02 inches wide. If you have a 1.5” wheel spacer now it should work.

That’s the math I was using but for some reason I kept doubting it. After it’s installed I’m going to try a set of 1” spacers I have as well and see how it sits and if there’s a rub or not

What size spacer would you need to run

 

A 285 75 r18 on stock wheels? Or does tire size not matter is all about the wheel?

 

Thank you

According to the calculation, probably close to 0.2” less than the 295/70 tires since it’s .4” wider but take it into consideration that it might be exactly .2” if the wheel isn’t exactly at 0 offset. I would imagine a 1” wheel spacer would clear it with stock rims.

Nitto Ridge Grapplers 295/70/18 with 1.5 RC level up front.  Speedometer is off 3mph with the larger tires.  Ride is similar to stock Wranglers.

1-1/2” seems to be the best bet with stock wheels.

This may be a dumb question, but I have seen people say they rub in reverse.  Why would you rub in reverse but not going forward?

They look good. Any future concern with the wheel spacers wearing out front end components? Wheel bearings?

 

I've wanted my wheels out like yours, but read spacers arent good?

 

Also, any problems with rocks hitting your body? My falken wildpeaks sling gravel like crazy

I think the reason is that in a forward motion it’s a smooth surface that the tire gradually makes contact with in reverse it’s a straight edged abrupt contact that the tire is grabbing on its first contact with the mud flap.

      Replacing 2.7L on 2021 Silverado with 2023 2.7L

      I’m definitely interested to hear the end result here.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.
