That’s the perfect look! What size tires are you running? Also, I wonder if the Z71 has less rake? I have the standard LTZ 4x4. 

I ended up getting the non-LT 275/60r20 ridge grapplers. I wanted the 275/65/20 or 285/60/20 ridge grappler, but they only came in a LT load rating. I wanted to maintain that comfy factory ride for a little longer. When these tires wear out, I’ll probably go up to the larger size.

1.5" Motofab leveling kit. I plan to run this spacer until BDS comes out with a 4" lift for the Trail Boss/AT4

Forgive me but what is LT tires? Those look bigger than factory for some reason - that’s the same size as factory. I’m looking at BFG KO2 285x60x20 or 295x65x20. Also, the 1” level looks perfect but the local shop has a special on 2” levels. Which tire would look best do you think?

Just fyi, I have an LTZ Z71 Dmax with a 1” level and I can get my right front to rub at full lock in reverse. 275/60/20, 20x9 0 offset. I couldnt believe it when i heard it but it has happened a few times now. I would caution against going bigger unless you opt for a bigger leveling kit but with my 1” my truck is damn near level.

Basically LT tires are stiffer and heavier, but they have a higher load capacity. And sometimes the LT tires also look more agreesive because of deeper treads. 
 

For the Ridge Grapplers, they make two 275/60r20 tires. One is the Non-LT and the other is LT. In my screenshots, for the same sizes, you can see how the LT version is about 12lbs heavier for each tire and how it also deeper treads.
 

295/65/20 is going to be a big tire. I don’t know if that would clear. But ive seen a guy on here with 295/60/20 and a 2” level, and it looked really good. I really like the look of the 285/60/20, but they only come in LT rating.

Cool thanks for clarifying. So 285/60/20 is going to be my best bet with a 2” level. BFG KO2

LT = Light Truck

P = Passenger

 

LT will be heavier due to its construction, stronger sidewall, better for towing and off road. Passenger a softer more comfortable on road ride but less capable towing/off road.

Yea probably so. You might be able to squeeze 295/60/20 if you wanna go a little larger. But I’d definitely avoid 295/65/20 with only a 2” level.

I’m not gonna lie I have had my truck for about 3 weeks now. And the further I have looked I to it I would do this.  I went had this lift on my Titan Xd and loved it. I Didn’t realize they had it for the 2020. It will give you a great ride and clearance. But that being said I do really like my 2 min n rc leveling kit. The price and the ride with the way it looks is hard to pass up. Specially if you can get a deal. Either way you will love it. But if you want larger tires, consider the below.***  (As long as you don’t have the duramax this is for the 1500)

I was going to try 35s but decided no too and had 295/60/20 wildpeak at3w's installed today. These are 33.9x11.7. Prob could of went bigger but they dont rub and look pretty decent.  I chose these over the 275 65s because of the width. I figured the little wider tire on the wheel would help with the stock wheels.

Love it! Are you running a leveling kit?

I would love to see more pictures of this set-up.  I don't remember seeing anyone else on this forum with pictures of their RC 3.5' inch lift and I would like to do the same with 285/55r22 tires. The thought process is that it will achieve the same look and balance as GM's 2" Trail Boss lift + a 1.5" front level but at 75% of the price and the addition of coil overs.

Just got the 2 inch Readylift level installed. Very happy with it. Didn't notice much change in the ride quality, which was something that I was worried about. 

 

I want to keep the truck as stock as possible. Looking to add 1.5 inch wheel spacers and maybe change out the tires. Trying to stay away from a heavy 10 ply tire. I've ran Duratracs mostly, and had them in a 35" on my previous Ram. Any recommendations on a 285/60/20?

Here is my 2020 1500 4x4 Duramax. I have 2” Rough Country top coil spacer and 2”block on the rear with shock extension I put 35/12.50R20. I trimmed very minimal on the inner portion of the mud flap. Other then that i like the way it sits.

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
