Sounds like it might dictate how much trimming can actually be done haaaaa

Exactly, eek

View attachment 384583 Need to do the leveling kit still - but here is my 23 on 24x10 Lexani’s and 305/35R24 Nitto Recon Grapplers

Oh dang those are some rubber band tires! How's the ride quality on those?

Just added 1.25” Bora spacers.

Did you get spacers for a little poke or did you get aftermarket wheels with a different offset? Great looking truck. Would likes to see more pictures with the wheels straightened.

Thanks, yeah, just going for a little poke. Here are some more pics, the wheels I have are +15mm offset (factory z71 wheels are +24mm), so amount of offset is closer to a 1.5” spacer with a factory offset wheel.

So I’m working on a project here and after discussing this with a friend of mine he has a leveling kit on a truck with 35x12.5x20 what would stop that from working on a Tahoe? I’m getting 34x11.4x20 so if I can go up to 35 I wouldn’t mind…

As good as the stock tires for ride quality - no difference at neighborhood or highway speeds & great on beach sand too.

May have been overthinking the brackets. Poked around on Silverado forums and found the same brackets being referred to as “mud flap brackets” and seem to be commonly removed for additional clearance. Plenty of space at full lock now.

What is under it?!

What is under it?!

Nothing but fender and wheel well, seems to be just a place for the liner and/or mud flap (splash guard) to mount to and the piece sticking out, I was going to cut off, must just support the mud flaps if you have them. Or maybe just a carry over from the Silverado as I think they have a different mud flap than the SUV’s do.

Thats crazy. Thats a substantial bracket for nothing. Very odd. No a/c lines or wiring behind it ?

What I was thinking initially too, but nothing there on drivers side and passenger side does have ac and wiring behind it but it’s not hanging out there, it’s along the frame.

The way the bracket is made, its almost like it was added for additional support for something.

Car manufacturers do not typically spend millions mass producing a bracket and securing it to a vehicle for nothing haaaaa.

Switched from LT KO2’s to Standard Load 275/60R20 Cooper Rugged Treks so I could run at 35 psi. Same size but the Cooper’s measure out taller (had to do some extra trimming). So far I like them, a little hum but nothing crazy, ride a little softer than the LT’s for all the pot holes around here.

@nick14226 I went the same route. Best combination of size, weight and pricing I could find.

Edgymods links raised about an inch. 38" fender height all the way around.

So what extra trimming did you have to do???

I have a 2021 Denali and the plan is a Traxda 2" front lift and 1" rear lift combo kit. Once that is in, I was looking at some 20x9 wheels (+12 offset) wrapped with some Toyo AT3 285/60/ 20's.

I thought I would be okay and have been told that should good but, now I'm second guessing myself?!?!?!

Thanks and by the way......The Tahoe looks great!

That's what I was thinking too, hopefully it isn't.

Thanks!

After removing the brackets and pulling the felt back with zip ties I was good with the BFG’s, but with the Cooper’s also had to trim the L-shaped plastic pieces below. Used a dremel and cleaned up with a file. I’m around a -16mm offset with the wheels and spacers, so you may not need as much with the +12mm even with the bigger tires.

Let us know how you make out and share pics, sounds like it’ll look great!

Sounds great!! and yes I will definitely post up the finished product and findings!!

 

[olyelr]

Yea i bet he would clear a lot better (maybe fully?) with the positive offset.

First off....."thanks" but yes I did find that one and read through before ordering everything.

You know how it is, when you order stuff and are not 100% sure......Just don't want to deal with issues!! LOL

I'm hoping to bolt up everything and we are good to go!!!

If everything works out right, I should have pics and a post with updates come Saturday! As long as the wheels and tires don't get delayed!!
