Hey Russ!

My truck is a Trail Boss so it comes with a 2' lift from the factory. So when I added the 4' BDS kit, which is for Trail Boss and AT4 only, it raised it 4' on top of the 2' factory lift. So compared to a non Trailboss, its a 6' lift.

Correct I did have the ready lift 2' sst kit before to fit 35's. I went to the BDS kit so I could add 37's.

Awesome. I'm surprised as I've felt 4" is pretty high. Sharp truck mate,

'22 Sierra Elevation 5.3 is a dealer custom done by a local shop here. It came with 20X9 or 20x10? matte black rims (unsure of manufacturer? and actual width size?), 305/55/R20 BFG KO2s, no rubs. Has a RC lift either 3" or 4" (conflicting info from dealer) and the plastic mud flaps are trimmed. Looks like some carpet is trimmed off also. Planning to replace the wheels sometime soon but the ones I want are backordered so I'm waiting awhile to see if they become available. Not sure if I'll go with the same tire size ?

The pics in my post above show the truck as it looked when I bought it 3 yrs ago. I did find out a little more info: it has a 3" Superlift and the rims on it are like a generic Customizers shop brand. They are 20 X 9 +12. So now a month later I have done a number of things with the truck.

The new rims are Fuel Flame Blackout 20 X 10 -18. I decided to stay with the same tires I've been running on because they still have good tread and should last awhile yet. They are BFG KO2 305/55/R20 and they have 37,000+ miles at this point. Surprisingly they rubbed really bad on the mud guards when I got them mounted, even with the 3" lift and the mud guards already cut down by Customizers. I removed the mud guards and cut them down even more, then I pushed the carpet that was under the mud guards back behind the metal lip and zip tied it, then I went to a local 4WD custom shop and they did a 4 wheel alignment and shifted the front wheels forward about 3/4". Does not rub anymore and I replaced what was left of the mud guards and looks pretty good, but any ideas I had about getting bigger tires is off the table. I would have to cut or bend the metal corner behind where the mud guards are and may not be able to put them back on at that point, so I will stick with this size when I replace the tires in a few months.

I also went from a single exhaust tailpipe with plain bumper to a dual exhaust tailpipe with dual port bumper. The bumper is an aftermarket from LKQ. It had to be painted and came with the black tips. I always liked the look of the factory dual port bumper and regretted that my truck did not come with it. It took a bit of money and effort but I'm pleased with how everything turned out.

Those wheels look a million times better than what came on it when you got it!

Agreed. They are as flat black as an old BBQ grill. They would look better on a truck with enamel paint, or one that someone did a custom paint job on......like camo or OD green or something. To me the trucks with a shiny metallic finish look better with wheels that are at least somewhat shiny.

Truck looks great! The new wheels definitely look better. What do the front suspension angles (cv axles, balljoints) look like with the 3" superlift kit? That was one of the kits I've considered for my truck when I get around to doing it.

Ok so heres what it looks like at this point (maybe not the best pic?). Keep in mind this is after 3 yrs and 37,000 miles.

Here is also a pic of the mud guards.....or what's left of them. Only thing holding them on now is 1 screw in the bottom and the plug. You can also see just how much plastic and carpet was already removed by Customizers to fit the original rims and tires. Pretty much stripped down to bare bones under there.....but no tire rubbing!

Thanks! That's what I was looking for. Yeah looks like a fair bit of trimming.

In case anyone else is wondering if 285/65/20’s would fit a stock truck with no lift. They do.

Did you have to do any trimming? I'm assuming no rubbing at full lock?

No trimming and no rubbing at all.

Swapped in my 285/70R17 BFG KO3s on 17x8.5, 0mm Offset Method 705s from my Tacoma to my '23 AT4 immediately after I brought it home. The Truck has a 2" leveling kit, UCA's already, and aligned so it was a no issue install.

Drives and tows like a champ!
