Put some tires on a buddies of mines truck and they look bad ass but i do have a heck of a rub at half lock while turning right. Again these are 305/50/20 in wich should but this at a section with of about 11-12" will this leving kit of about 2" be good with this new body silverado.

 

sorry the truck had 17" stockers on their and is a 07 4x4 Anybody running this set up

not to answer my own question but i think i had figured this out and this will be good info for any other nbs owners. If i lift the front of the truck lets say about 2" i only raise the point of impact to 2" higher than it was, making things worse, if i use a block to raise the rear of the truck about 1.5 or so along with the spacer up front i recreate the slight nose down style that gm has done with all their trucks. This would kinda work again i still have to cut something.

 

So now after talking to numerous manufactures, most nbs siverados should fit no more than a 11.5" wide tire. My toyo open countrys as stated before measured a 12" with.. So if i went down to a 285/50/20 that would measure about 11.5 with.and put me at 31.3 od wich is .3 smaller than the 305/50/20..still close but atleast you can turn your truck.

 

Anyway just some good info for you guys...thanks to Skyjacker,Keystone,Truck outfitters on this one.

I have a 2" lift on mine, but I have 305/55/20's (33/2") and 12" wide. They rub hard. I think the 50s still might strictly because of the width. It will be close. It will def still rub on like downhill turns and flexes I would imagine.

    • You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling. 
    • You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built. 
    • Diesel hit $6.00 here today at the truck stop.   Payed $2.79 for E85 today too.
    • Thanks for posting, I'm sure it will help someone
