Tire size, Lifted or Leveled

[Erki]

Cranking stock keys all the way is all aftermaket lift keys will do, but they will allow more crank than stock. So yeah I'd try cranking stock keys first to see how much you can get. If you want more, then get leveling keys. I should have done that first. Probably could have gotten enough out of the stock keys. How much bolt do you have that you could crank? IIRC one turn on the bolt is .25" lift approx.

What I did was find a flat level surface then measured all four fenders to see how far off they were. Then I looked at my bolts and saw the passenger side had more threads exposed to I figured id max out my driver's side and measure it to see how far up I could take my passenger side and keep it level side to side. FYI my fenders are 38.25" inches up front and 39" drivers side rear and 40.25" passenger side rear.

saw a guy on fb, that had 37s under his truck with nothing but a leveling kit and he said the rubbing wasnt that bad......

Mine has a 4" suspension lift and 33" tires and they rub when a full turn going right on the wiper fluid cover thing

There is no way a guy is fitting 37's on a GMT800 with a leveling kit!

I second that, 33s and leveling on one of these trucks is pushing the limits, my friend has 285s and leveling kit on his 03 ECSB silverado and they start to rub a bit before full lock up

I trimmed the plastic fender wells and yes I can turn full lock both ways

Quite a bit of trimming done but I could run these tires I put 75 miles on them but it would be virtually all on the road there's not much clearance for any flex but they looked good

 

[silverado13]

hopefully goat will chime in, he and i both questioned the guy about it

 

[Bonecollector]

The truck I mentioned above rubs at the back of the wheel well by his mid flaps and not at the bumper

It rubs like a bitch but it fucken fits.... ya only actually gain a inch over 35s and 2 over 33s and I got a 3/2 torsion leveling kit and can clear 35s with no rub

 

[silverado13]

which i dont under stand how some people still rub with a 6 inch suspension with 35s

 

[Goat]

Causr people don't understand fitment cause I got 12 inch wide tires on mine. I HAVE NEVER RUBBED

 

[silverado13]

I know, that's what I'm saying. Richard has a 4 inch with 33s and he says he rubs. I don't get it

 

[Bonecollector]

I have 33x12.5 on 18" negative 3.5 inch offset rims with a 4.5" BDS suspension lift, never rubbed
