2025 Silverado LT 2.5" motofab spacer in front with suspension max UCAs. 

1.5" suspension max rear block, also roadmaster active suspension which gave about another 1"-1.5" of lift. Peak suspension sway bar relocation brackets. 20x9 4Play OE Wheels cv65 +26mm offset. 285/65R20 Firestone Destination Xt tires.

Only rubs on driver's side at the front of the wheel liner just before full lock. I think it's due to the alignment, the shop couldn't get the caster on that side as good as the passenger side.

2025 GMC Sierra 1500, Denali Ultimate.   Just changed out my factory wheels and tires for a much better look in my opinion. The new wheels are a OE knockoff of the 22" Escalade wheel.  Tires are 305/45/22    

 

Factory height,  absolutely no rubbing whatsoever.

Finally the time came for new tires. Had 42,000+ on the original BFG KO2s and they weren't bald, but getting pretty well worn so I decided it was time. I will say that I was impressed with the BFG KO2s they were probably the best AT tires I've ever owned and I've owned alot of different ones. This time I decided to try a mud tire.....these are Nitto Trail Grapplers M/T:

They are 305/55/R20 and I have them on Fuel Flame Blackout rims 20X10 -18 and with the new tires there were issues with rubbing the wheel wells. I anticipated this and made an appointment at a nearby body shop for immediately after the tire purchase and mounting. it was only really a few millimeters that made the difference but they not only trimmed plastic but metal as well. The mud guards were a problem and so this time they went away completely. I had bought the mud guard replacements from Sharptruck.com and I had them installed, although they also had to be modified quite a bit.

I do really like the look of these new Nitto tires, however I would say that if someone wants a quiet ride they are not for you because they are noisy on the highway. I have not had them in the rain yet so we'll see how that goes.

Hopefully someone can help me out here.....  got a 2020 sierra elevation does anyone know if I put a 3.5 inch rough country lift on it would I be able to run 35x12.50 with factory wheels?  Am I correct in assuming I'll have to have some spacers? I believe 2 inch would work...correct me if I wrong.

Depends what your factory wheels are. 17's, 18's or 20's? And how wide. Needs to be at least 8.5" wide for a 12.50 wide tire.

New truck, 26 RST 4x4 with LZ0. came with 265/65/18 on it and I was hoping to go with 275/70/18 that I had on my last truck. Previously I had a 2020 RST 2wd with a 3" front lift (top strut spacer and 2.5" rear block) and had no issues. Was wondering if I would need to lift again to prevent rubbing.

 

If I were to lift it, would I need to invest in the half shafts that the trail boss has?  if I recall, the trail boss uses longer half shafts for reliability.

Swapped out the factory RST 20s for these factory ZR2 18s. The difference in offset is perfect for a Silverado without fender flares.

    • I am not techy at all but wondered if you have the truck running but sitting still in park as some functions gray out as soon as the truck is moving. I believe in the settings for updates you can choose for it NOT to update and I wonder by chance if maybe that was chosen before and now it won't allow you to chose to press update, I think that is back in the settings menu where it has all the items one wants on or off etc. Also I assume you have a wifi connection and checked that it has some signal strength, not that it would have anything to do with the grayed out updates choice in that case. What I am thinking out loud of here may be be of no value but thought I would suggest it, sometimes it can be the simplest thing that resolves an issue.  
    • The so called rare failure that some certainly liked to tout ( die hard Ford fan boys ) as per the lifter failing and wiping out the cam. Back when it started happening the blame was being pointed to the lifters and honestly I never did hear anything myself conclusively one way or the other on that. Ford themselves in I believe 2024 had a technical bulletin I will call it that came out and for some engine platforms they were reprograming the engines idle speed but also they had a software update for the oil pump which then some time later was said what that software update did as to be increasing the oil pressure at idle. It is a good question if that issue was completely solved as one Ford specialist mechanic youtuber said he saw failures after that time period. Like anything there would be the variables, what oil is being used and the OCI and how much idle time gets put on an engine. I've seen some comments to claim that the L8T isn't so happy with high idle time either but I also know that companies that require their vehicle to idle a lot on the job don't tend to get the oil changed often enough for all those hours of idle time and go off of the odometer. 
    • My 2026 Silv. 1500 WT (reg cab/short bed/4wd) has the 40/20/40 with storage in lower middle seat as well as the fold-down center bolster/armrest.   With the dual glove boxes this is about as much storage as possible in a std cab IMHO. Bill
    • I have a 2026 base 1500 "WT" regular cab with basic Chevy "Infotainment 3" 7-inch screen/radio. How many speakers do I have If I want to upgrade? Is the audio amp separate from the radio/display unit]? [I listen to classical and it gets a bit raspy at slightly higher volumes. Don't need a sub etc.] Do I have two or 1 speakers in the doors? etc. Thanks Bill  San Jose
    • probably won't get a response from that user, as they haven't returned to the site since making that one post.  users don't (at least I don't, and I haven't seen any setting which would notify me via say, email) get any notification other than going to this site, and checking if they got a response on their thread...
