Yeah that looks perfect..exactly what I'm looking for " more tire " I appreciate you getting at me with a picture...oh just wondering does the trim PKG matter , rst, lt, custom ?? I've got the custom...truck came with some decent black alloy wheels 18 x 8.5 ya think Maybe I can use them with the 1.5" Lev & the 35" Bfg's ?? Seems every local shop around here (L.A. CA) just wants to push a $6500 lift  rims and tires.. crazy

Hey buddy, seeing as this was just under a year ago, I was wondering if you found at any more info? I have a 19’ Custom Trail Boss as well and most of the infor here is for the LTs. It’s my understanding that the wheel arches should be the same size and therefore what fits the gentleman in the black LT could fit should work for us. But I just wanna make sure before pulling the trigger on wheels and tires that don’t fit. Thanks again.

I have a 2020 Custom 4x4 (Not a trail boss). I added a 2.25 procomp level up front and was able to fit 35x12.5s on my stock 20’s. I did delete the flaps/air guards, but have no rubbing even at Full lock. 
 

I had two different (reputable) 4x4 shops say something similar to me about needing a 6” lift to get to 35s. Guess it’s in their best interest to have you spend $2500 getting a Massive kit installed and selling you a tire package for another $2500. Also to be fair to them, ( at least the ones around here) they aren’t very familiar with the T1s yet 
 

I have the tires and stance I want and am all-in for less than $1400

Hey Man I love the way this turned out! This is exactly what I want to do with mine. Did you have any trouble with the inside of the tire rubbing on the upper control arm?

Just got my 2021 Trail Boss. Done extensive research through this forum specifically and I appreciate all the help. I was still very hesitant but I had my tire store put 35x12.50R20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers on my truck before I leveled it. On flat ground, there is ZERO rubbing. It can be done, but I am still going to level for the looks.

I'm going to upgrade to 35s once my OE tires need replacing, but have concerns about rubbing.  I going to upgrade my suspension first.  I plan on going with King 3.0s, BajaKits Prerunner kit, and Deaver rear springs.  Suppose to fit 35s with no trouble, and 37s with no rub unless you jump the truck, etc.  At that point, with 37s, they recommend upgrading all fenders to fiberglass widebody fenders on all 4 corners.  With 35s there would be no need to upgrade to fiberglass.

I have a '19 Custom Trail Boss.  What about some 35's on my stock 18" wheels with a leveling kit?  Did I miss that?  I like my stock black aluminum 18's  Anyone??  Thanks!!

I have a 2021 silverado trail boss with a 2 inch front level kit max racing. I have the factory 18 inch wheels and installed the 35x12.5x18 nitto ridge grapplers with no rubbing problems at all. Very close to upper control arm but does not hit. Just figured I’d post this because couldn’t find much information so just went ahead and tried it and no problems what so ever.

You might want to upgrade your UCA's. It is not recommended to do spacer lifts on a trailboss without upgrading the UCA's. There are quite a lot of ball joint failure pictures out there with spacer only set ups on a trailboss.

    • I have a basic 2026 1500 WT  (2.7L/4WD reg cab shorttbed). Comfy, generally happy with electronics/radio - but is there a way I can add switches to steering wheel right-side position (curr. empty) so I can adjust volume, push phone button to voice dial, etc? Bill W San Jose  
    • The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.
    • So I purchased the Range unit for my 2026 and I am seeing different locations suggested for the ECM . Can anyone confirm wither under hood, left side or right side or behind the wheelwell?
    • Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that. 
    • "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
