So if its been covered im thinking,but cannot seem to find it. 

  But i got a free 2.5 inch leveling kit. Most likely gonna order new upper control arms if i have to fix angle. 

 But i would like to run either a 34(275/65R20) inch tire. Would they fit. I do not care with rubbing at full lock and have no problem trimming if need be. 

 But also can i fit a 34 and half or a 35 inch tire in either 35/11.50R20 or a 35/12.50R20 on my stock 20inch rims. 

  No i do not want to do a lift. Dont have the funds for the lift or new wheels. I have 2100 to spend on tires. Please point me in the right direction with all info i need. 

 I do have the rouch country 3.5 inch full kit, but i have heard those really arent good to put on. So its sitting in the box. 

  Thanks all

If you want my opinion, stay with the skinnier tire when it comes to winter. The 12.50 wide will tend to ride on top of snow and heavy water and they murder your fuel mileage.

 

A 34in tire should fit no problem.

Ya being here in wisconsin it is a good idea for the skinny. I do get what your saying. 

  I just like how a 35 looks. I came from a Ford and leveling kit and always ran 35's on my stock wheels and def liked the look. 

  But could i fit those other sizes with a leveling kit?

I don't know for sure. My friend had a 2015 2500HD as well but he put 17's on it with 34's and they rubbed at full lock and if you hit bigger bumps while turning. He had leveled the front on his truck as well.

 

I did the tuning for him because his speedo was pretty far off after the tire size change.

Ya the tuner i already know will be off. Goodthing i have my Edge tuner to correct my speedo. 

   Ya my last truck a F250 i had 17's and 35×12.50 and it fit the wheel wells great with a 1.5inch hell bent steel leveling kit.

 But with me comming over to a Chevy 2500,front end and front suspention is def diferent. So hopefully some more guys will chime in with there experience as i did find some good deals on 35×11.50R20's from tire rack as well as Custom Offsets here in wisconsin.

    • I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.    
    • Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.
    • If your connector also has a big lever to get the connector on and off, you don't want to force the lever either way, as it becomes a bigger problem if you bust the lever or the mechanism it works.
    • It's just useful to disconnect the battery to prevent odd shorting out when unplugging/plugging stuff together.  I also  touch the two cable ends together (after disonnecting) to drain the small amount of stored battery energy in various modules.   I believe the main system where you need to be more concerned with, so you need to do the above and then wait some time, iss when you are working on the air bag system, to prevent inadvertent firing of the air bags.   The in-cab switches are just that, plain switches, it's generally not a problem to swap them in/out.  For my '12, I'll get an error message on the dash if I power up the truck w them unplugged, but that's it (power up= turn the ignition on).   The ITBC located above the spare tire is a computer that manages the trailer brake system.  That is probably more important to have the battery disconnected.  It does have to be programmed to the truck, either before or after it's installed, for it to work.  For my '12, I had a very hard time reinstalling the main connector to it (IDK if yours is the same or not), it turned out the silicon seal was jamming up, preventing it from going on all the way.  I finally got it fully installed by lubing the seal with a bit of dielectric grease, then it slid on and latched in place easily.
    • JR ! I just got the truck back from the Dealership today . The technician did a cold remote start on the truck this morning and it made the noise . It was determined that it was a starter issue and replaced it under warranty . Of course   it did not make the sound after a new starter was put in because the truck was not cold . We will we see what happens tomorrow morning when I start the truck cold  . Keep tuned !   Oh I found a video on YouTube of a cold start and it did the same thing your truck and mine do , I will see if I can find it and post it up
