It depends. Is the truck stock height, leveled, or lifted?

I have a 2-1/2" level with 295/55/20 tires, and they were close on the factory wheels. They rubbed on my Kryptonite UCAs so I "HAD" to get new wheels.

If you're stock height, you can run a 275/65/20, 285/60/20 or 295/55/20. If you're leveled or willing to trim a little, you can run a 285/65/20, 295/60/20, or 305/55/20. Those are all based on the presumption that you're running stock rims. With aftermarket rims, that changes things.

Thank you, Big Whiskey!

You're welcome. Some members are also running 35x12.50x20 or 295/65/20 on stock rims with a leveling kit, but that seems to be the limit. Those sizes will also rub at stock height, for sure.

I bought a 2019 2500 HD with some sort of minor lift, not sure how much.  It has 265/60/20s (stock tire and damn they are small...).  Front fender is 41" and rear is 43" at the wheel centerline.   Looking at 35x12.5's. Hopefully no rubbing. Anyone have the stock height on same tire to see how much lift it has? It has RC upper control arms and RC shocks front and rear but they seem worn out already.

Thank you, Big Whiskey! monkey mart

Thank you very much. A few participants are also using 35x12. The only options seem to be 50x20 or 295/65/20 on stock rims with a leveling kit. Such sizes will undoubtedly rub at stock height.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By DaleB · Posted

      Thanks, all. It sounds like keeping the software "as is" is the best course of action.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overengineering   Excerpt from the above link: (BTW the above is a 90 second read)   [Quote]   A story about very precise engineering is given in the 1858 story The Deacon's Masterpiece or, the Wonderful "One-hoss Shay": A Logical Story by Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr., which tells of a carriage (one-horse shay) Because it had been engineered so that no single piece failed first – no piece was over-engineered relative to the others, and they thus all collapsed at the same time. A similar quote by Ferdinand Porsche claimed "the perfect race car crosses the finish line in first place and immediately falls into pieces."[5]   [End Quote}   By Engineering's  own definition then; the AFM and Torque Converters, 4-5-6 clutch assembly of the 6L80E, and a dozen other common chronic parts and systems failures are "UNDER ENGINEERED". And by their own definition done so with INTENT. Ya can't have it both ways OEM's.

      Broke Down on the Mountain

      By Gangly · Posted

      I was in Utah this week attempting a bow hunt in the Wasatch mountains with friends.  On the evening of the first hunt, making my way across a ridge to a friends camp, the upper control arm on the driver's side separated, the CV axle got trashed, and the wheel was dang near at a 45 degree angle to the ground.  I was able to get it towed off the mountain and into town about 3:00 am, and spent the remainder of the night in an O'Reilly's parking lot.  Luckily, there was a Chevrolet dealership not to far away so I was able to get to the dealership and pick up a new CV and UCA.  It would have been a few days before they could have gotten to the truck and I brought tools with me on hunt since it was a two day drive to get there, so I did the repairs myself in the O'Reilly's parking lot.      What's interesting is that the UCA ball joint didn't break, it just popped out of the bottom of the UCA.  There was VERY LITTLE evidence of grease on the ball joint or in the socket, and you could see where the ball joint had warbled out part of the socket over time.  I guess that's what happens over 186K miles of use :)   Big Kudos to O'Reilly's for letting me work on the truck in their parking lot.  However, they made a $150+ off of me from the purchase of various tools, so I guess it was in their best interest anyways :)   Getting towed off the mountain.   UCA Ball Joint Socket   Trashed CV   Suspension disconnected and UCA and CV Removed   New UCA and CV installed with the suspension buttoned up.

      What did you do to your "other" car (aka musclecar) today

      My family still laughs at me when they see me drive up in the minivan. Same with less than a V-8 truck. It helps that I have choices. I don’t think I could only have a minivan as the one and only vehicle as much as I like it. And I wouldn’t pass up a good buy on an older V-8 reg cab GM truck. Could you live Raven as the only ride?
