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?

Where did you get your Bilsteins from? Looks great, this is exactly what I want to do with my 2020 TB eventually.

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.

35x12.5x17 Falken MTs on Fuel Blocks with a -12 offset. Stock Trailboss suspension. Removed the front mud flaps and brackets. No forward rub, only a slight at full lock in reverse.

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 the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps. 
    • Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.
    • 10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O. 
    • Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.    
    • apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
