I've had a few inquiries about my wheel tire setup lately on my 2020 LTZ Z71 and figure I'd share since I haven't found anyone using this tire size.. No rubbing at all! 1.5in level 275/65/R20 (34.1")BFG K02's. Stock tires are 275/60/R20 (33")

Same size here love it. Just installed a Rough Country speedo calibration box. Speedo was off 1.5 miles per hour. Set new tire size to 33.7 to get it spot on. Reviews said also help the transmission shifts . Especially guys who went to larger tires. 35 to 37. Your truck looks great.

Oh good to know. Thanks. I'll look into that!

Looks good, now all you need is to add wheel spacers, remove the running boards, delete the mudflaps, tint your windows and delete some of the chrome. Haha, looks good though. 

 

Have 275/65R20 Duratracs and am a huge fan of that size tire on these trucks. Really do need wheel spacers though to make em look tough.

Thanks guys! I had spacers on my previous colorado and had nothing but issues... noted on minus the chrome. Since they're the same width as stock would they look a little goofy with spacers?

I used the max racing kit off Amazon but most are all very similar. Either the spacer at the bottom of the shock or one on top of the coil spring. Mine was the spacer on the bottom of the shock.

    • This is sort of my point, salvage yards aren't overflowing with all these 'poorly' maintained trucks - excellent/good/servicable condition otherwise, salvaged only as a result of a bad engine from poor oil change regiment.    In my area, there are no 2007 to newer gm trucks/suvs in any salvage yards. A few are in the 'recyclers' with very obvious reasons for being there - wrecked.
    • Stabilitrack was a stability control, traction control system, that functioned independently from the transfer case.   Z-71 has nothing to do with the transfer case or differential.   If it does have an AWD system, my memory recalls this being specific to the Denali trim, converting won't be as simple as swapping out mechanical parts like differentials and transfer cases. It will require reprogramming at a minimum. Long story short, not likely worth it.   Pulling a fuse, may disable the AWD system, it might also prevent any other transfer case functions.   However, the AWD case was generally based on the same transfer case you refer to in the 2006 Suburban. If it still has a 4-High and 4-Low where the transfer case locks and splits power 50-50 front to rear, what are you gaining by changing anything? A true-rear wheel drive only, what good will that serve? Not enough to go through the trouble of changing out all the parts.    Generally, all the factory systems will handle a 33" tire and re-gearing. Probably a 35" tire too, if you aren't driving like a caveman. If 35" tires are in the plan...   If you do plan on driving like a caveman or are fully committed to 35" tires, an entire re-think of the build is probably in order. Starting with square one, an IFS front end isn't going to be the best starting point for 35's and caveman driving. 
    • 1/2 qt over full ain`t gonna hurt $h!t. Most times, a whole qt won`t either. Most have windage trays now. As long as the crank isn`t slapping itself in the oil, it`s not the end of the world.   We used to overfill 1 qt at the track, at race time. Better to have it over full than having the pan sucked dry at 6500 rpm`s.
    • I think it failed, new fluid isn't going to fix it. 
    • The booster probably failed internally. (Applying the brakes is basically creating a vacuum leak.)
