I have a 2013 gmc 1500 2wd nbs. Has anyone cleared a 285/70/17 on a stock wheel with a 2in or 2.25in Leveling kit? I'm looking at the wildpeak at3 or ridge grappler. Lots of replies are related to 4wd trucks I think. Mine came stocknwith 245/70/17.

You have an NNBS  and I believe that should clear pretty easy

Right on. Now that I read your reply, I just thought to myself that there is only one body style for that year anyways. I was kind of zoning out earlier when I asked the question.

So mine came with 245/70/17 and only has an exact 2in rake. I ordered a 2.25in kit, but now need to exchange it for a 2in kit. I don't want to be nose high at all. I wonder if the ones that have a higher rake (2014+ possibly) come with 265/70/18, or just the 4wd come with the larger. I have scoured the internet and half a dozen local shops and get so many mixed answers. I always thought rule of thumb with a level kit was to go up two sizes.

Here are my current measurements before any level. With my math 285 should clear.

 

FR 35 3/4 hub to fender 21 5/8
RR 37 3/4
FL 35 5/8 hub to fender 21 5/8
RL 37 3/4

 

Stock front tire
Back tire to well 1 3/4
Front tire to well 3in

 

Specs from current Michelin ltx ms2 and new ridge grappler

245 to 285
32.76 - 30.52 = 2.24 ÷ 2 = 1.12

I went with ridge grappler 285/70/17 tires and 17x8.5 0 offset wheels. The driver front rubs the rear well when turning left in reverse. The passenger front rubs a little too. I ditched the new wheels today and put the new tires on the stock wheels. They clear with no issues and actually look better than expected. I have a set of 17x8.5 +18 wheels on the way. They should clear just fine. I only tried the zero offset a couple weeks ago because they were in stock and the others have been sitting in the port for 2 months.
