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.

    • Holy s**t - not much of a parts thrower you say? You BLASTED that thing with the parts cannon!  You'd have been probably $1,000 ahead if you had just brought it to a competent shop rather than shotgunning a bunch of parts it clearly didn't need.   Just FYI - oil additives are really, REALLY good at ONE thing ... and that's emptying your wallet. They're ALL useless gimmicks.   If that has the L94 or L99, then #7 is an AFM cylinder. I'd suspect a failed lifter in that case.   If you leaned on wiring, sensors, and/or connectors while changing the oil, you'll have to check all that to be sure pins didn't get pulled out, connectors broken, etc.. Old wire loom that was barely adequate when new is certainly brittle by year 19 - make sure wires aren't chaffed and shorting out somewhere where you might have leaned. or supported yourself on it.   If your a mechanic, why didn't you just find out what you were missing and troubleshoot from there??  TIMED spark, fuel PSI / injector pulse, air, compression.  Can't make ANY money going the parts cannon route.
    • LOL! Are you joking?? That wax SUCKS! 100% gimmick made to "look" good.    After just TWO winters I had severe surface rusting in patches over 90% of the frame. Only reason it looks great in the pics is because I SATURATED the frame every single fall with used motor oil for 14 of the 16 years I owned it. Otherwise it would've been sent to the crusher 8 years earlier with the speed it was rusting prior!    I sold that POS 3 years ago. Was a gigantic headache the second it rolled off the showroom floor. Brakes pulsated on the TEST DRIVE. Door trim fell off the 1st week! Interior squeaked and rattled, and the drivetrain clunked after 2k miles. 4x4 switch failed shortly after. Front end - ball joints, struts, hub bearings - all failed between 38k-50k. Engine started burning oil at 50k. Rear and and transmission failed before 100k. Nothing but problems, and frustration with the piss-poor engineering designed to make you give up. Well, it worked! Nothing on that truck was easy to remove ... except the wheels. They haven't figured out how to screw that up yet. Give 'em time ...   I won't make that mistake again. EVER.   Such fond memories ... https://postimg.cc/K1qf23tS  https://postimg.cc/gallery/X02z64J  https://postimg.cc/gallery/mHSRXZv  https://postimg.cc/gallery/D4mMRfL
    • Different monitors do their test only under conditions specific to that monitor.  you MIGHT find the drive cycle conditions for the monitor that isn't ready on this site: https://lemon-manuals.la/   If it's not there, then it should be on alldata.com for your truck, but it requires a paid subscription.   And you need to know which specific monitor isn't ready.
    • from another thread   Update...although the truck sometimes seems to idle weird and the transmission shift a little weird, I've driven about 7,000  miles and no issues.   However, the way GM has handled my rental reimbursement, the situation when my truck quit, and the recall in general has led me to this point...I have driven a GM vehicle for the past 46 years and unless I buy a C3 Corvette, this is the last GM vehicle I will ever own.
