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.

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.

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.

      Cam chain tensioner question

      By B14Sierra · Posted

      So I'm in the middle of a DOD AFM delete on my 6.2 L86 Sierra. I had a pick holding the tensioner but after I got the Cam phaser gear off I was cleaning off all the rtv and apparently I didn't have the pick seated far enough in. I bumped it and the tensioner sprang forward.  I think everything is good but I want a second opinion. The top of the tensioner is just a looped piece of plastic that rides in that channel right? There is no spring or anything is there? I got the gear and chain back on and it seems tight and everything looks right. I'm hoping nothing fell out.

      No low range 4 x 4

      By dna9656 · Posted

      My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

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

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.
