Hey Yall, I have Nitro Ridge Grappler 37x12.5x18s on the way. Will they fit on my 2020 2500HD without a lift. Have torsion bars cranked to level, with lots of room left.

I don't think so
Post 35 has my 35s
They barely caught when full lock....
But let me know if they do so I can go bigger

I have 37's on my factory 20's but I had to crank the torsion bars to get them to fit and it still rubbed the liner and flaps. I did a 3" Cognito leveling kit 2 days later and it still rubbed the liner and the flaps but that was an easy fit. The bad part was the offset on the factory wheels and the wide 37's rubbed my new Cognito upper control arms, so I had to add a 1" spacer.

 

Long story short, you can fit 37's with a 2.5" to 3" lift/level and some cutting, but definitely NOT without a lift.

What spacers did you run?

They were called Venum I think. They were hub centric and seemed like great quality. I knew I didn't need a really big spacer to clear everything and from what I saw, all the big name brand spacers started at 1.5" and went up. Venum was the only brand I saw that offered a 1" spacer.

Just put on some 37s getting some rubbing, ill have to check out the venom spacers. No rubbing with 1"?

Mine was only rubbing the liners when I first put on the 37's, they didn't rub the stock control arms. I had to have the spacers to clear the Cognito upper control arms which pushed the wheels/tires outward and increases the rubbing issues on the liners and rub flaps. Assuming that you're running stock control arms, you can possibly trim or pull back the liners and secure them with zip ties but not 100% sure.

I've since added 2" ECCP spacers, had to trim  liners and liner mounts. Truck looks awesome, went on a road trip and now I'm getting a deep vibration. Can't figure it out. No steering wheel shaking..had them balanced twice and alignment done.

Update. Just switched to 3 inch venom spacers. Truck looks sick, made the switch based on recommended hub centric spacers. Little less vibration otherwise rides great. Any ideas on what to look at next for the vibration.

Mine doesn't have a vibration at any speed that i've noticed, so i'm not sure what could be causing yours. Did it have any vibration before the lift and spacers? Your truck looks great

No vibration before. Seems to start around 70 mph. Otherwise I love it. Throwing on some bilstein B8 5160s on the front today, hope that helps.

I had a vibration around 65-70 mph but that was before the 37's and the dealer fixed it by road force balancing my stock tires, so unfortunately, I may not be of much help.

Will the dealer flash the speedo? Thought I read some posts here that they refused to do it?

      OCI, not when but why?

      I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.

      What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.

      Poll: Does your truck have the rear window leak?

      Glad you had success with it. I did as well, but about 5-6 months later it returned. Tried again, same result. This was after the dealer made several attempts and never even got it to slow down.
