Tire and wheel question???

[Denalimax]

Anyone got a '11-'13 Sierra 2500 with a leveling kit and factory 20's?? What size tires are you running and was there any trimming involved or issue with rubbing??? Going to put a rancho 2.25 leveling kit on with new upgraded shocks then later on get the new UCA's. Also anyone having any issues with the ride quality after the whole thing was done?

Thanks

I am currently running 275/65/20 Goodyear Duratrac's with stock key's cranked about 1-1/4" and stock shock's. the tires will rub a tiny bit on the liner when wheels are fully cranked. Before the Duratrac's I ran 305/55/20 Bfg A/T's and they didn't rub at all. Ride is about the same as stock.

So I ended up going with a 2.25" leveling kit for the front I didn't put the block in the back, I also ordered the upper control arms from cognito and billstein front shocks for a better ride they should be here sometime today or tomorrow. I also found a set of the OEM 20's and am getting some new rubber next week I will post pics next week

I was kind of wanting to steer away from buying one but after I get new bigger tires should I get a tuner?? If so what's the best one without having to delete my stock exhaust??

Can't you do the "small fender mod" just like the LMM trucks. If so it gains quite a bit of clearance in the back

I could, but 99% of the time they don't rub. I think next time I buy tires I am going with a 295/60/20 and will probably have to do the fender mod.

I would say go EFI Live thru Duramax Tuner

I like! How are the tires for road noise?

 

[Denalimax]

Not bad I've this tire on a previous truck, only mud terrain tire in my opinion with the least road noise.
