Tire Size w/ a level kit

jdburris33 · February 25, 2020

Hello all,
I recently just got in a new 2020 Sierra. I want to put the 2" level on it from Rough Country like I have done with past trucks I have owned. On my 2014 I ran a Cooper STT Pro 275/65/20. This truck I would like to run something similar that I do not have any rub and won't have to cut. I have read that a 295/65/20 will fit with no rub, I am looking at the BFG KM3. Anyone doing this, or have any experience with it? If so do you have any pictures? Thanks in advance

295/65/20 on stock rims/ 2 in level should have no issues , maybe a slight rub . Some have it some dont. If you do rub in may just be when steering wheel is fully turned . My unce is running 295/65/20 on his stock AT4 and there is a slight rub. nothing noticeable.

Thank you for the response. If you don't mind do you have any pictures of his truck? I bought a Denali, and yes i am going to run stock rim with a 2" level kit. I would just hate to buy the tire and then it rub super bad. I don't mind a little rubbing, but I would just hate to have to cut. Thank you for the information. Just wanting the biggest tire that can go under there.

295/65/20 depending on the brand (Nitto) runs into a 35.5" tall tire. I went with the Nitto Ridge Grappler 35x11.5x20 on my stock At4 no rub and a good half inch between the tire and control arm.

That looks great!

thanks! they ride great and are quiet- I've taken several customers and fellow employees out in the truck since i bought it a week ago and they all comment on how smooth it is and then when they get out they check out the tires.

You can run Mickey Thompson's new Baha Boss 35's on a trail boss with a 1.5 level on the front with the trail boss wheels. I have them for sale on this forum. I decided I wanted 20's instead after I put em on.

Only like 200 miles on em. Basically brand new. I bought thevbaha boss 20'svand wentbwith aftermarket wheels and wheel spacers. Bad ass tire!!

You have to remove mud flaps. That's it. You can get plugs already color matched to put in the holes.

Do you have a link for the plugs? I'm running 35s on my AT4 with no additional level and finding i get some rub when i am coming up hard driveways (I'll still level it I'm sure but this gives me a reason to pull the flaps)

Is that stock ride height or leveled?

I didnt know you could run a 35 on a stock AT4. I wanted to run a 295/60 (34) on a leveled SLT and was hoping it would fit. Is a leveled SLT the same as stock AT4 in the front ?

If you did a 2” level then it’s pretty much the same. The AT4 does have 2” blocks in the rear as well.
