Bought 35/12.5/18 Nitto trail grapplers

[07Z71hoe]

Found a really good deal on some 35" trail grapplers so I bought them today. Now I just have to find away to get the hoe to sit high enough for them to fit

NNBS has coils at all 4 corners.

Body lift in my personal opinion ruins a lot of things on a pretty damn good truck. I say that if you can afford to have that nice of a truck then you can afford to lift it the right way.

PLEASE don't!

I'm not doing body lift, hate how u can see frame and I'm not relocating the trailer hitch

 

[jdpber]

you could get a good aluminum coil spacer and do that for starters.. or a suspension lift.. what is your budget

 

[07Z71hoe]

pretty low budget but i have 2.5/1 ccm leveling kit on now and i have a brand new 3.5/2 leveling kit here at the house i havent installed and im order the Bilstein leveling shocks this week which supposedly add another 1.5-2" front and back.

You are going to be riding on the droop stops if you stack the Bilsteins and a leveling kit. Bilsteins only give 1.7" on the GM trucks and suvs.

Stacked leveling kits? I've heard bad things

 

[07Z71hoe]

Not stacking. Just doing 3.5" leveling kit and new shocks

35's r gonna rub really bad, You probably won’t be able to turn ur steering wheel past one rotation before they dig into the fender or the wheel well... You need at the least 6"s of lift to fit those.. and you will still need to trim your fenders… My buddy has those tires on his 2009 Silverado… He’s got a procomp stage 2 6” lift and they still rubbed so bad he had to trim the metal from the fenders front and back…

Good luck buddy… I have a 2” front, 1 “ rear lift and my 305 55’s rubbed even after some minor trimming so I downgraded to 305 50’s… sucks… the 55’s looked way better

Tanner PM Gonzo or Creto on this forum. They both have 4-inch lifts with proper offsets to fit 35s.

This is KatFish's from GMFS an he has 3/1 leveling kit with 35s. Wonder how bad this thing scrubs

 

[Zed 71]

Hard to tell from the pics, but it looks like there isn't that much room for any suspension movement. IMO needs to level it off (rear is too low).

 

[08z71tahoe]

yeah.. the rear is sagging...

 

[07Z71hoe]

Ya I'm not big on that whole Cali lean thing. Mine will sit even cause its 3.5/2 and not 3/1 like his. I mean I guess I can try to do the 3.5/2 and 35s this week cause I have it all here and then if it doesn't work just order the 2" bodyb

Tanner, I recently inherited the rough country 3.5 inch lift from the dealership that we buy all of your chevys. They put it on my dads new truck but it wasnt the right lift that was supposed to be on the truck so the dealer gave it to me for free, I just have to pay to have it put on. I plan on running 325/60R20 BFG AT and they seem to think they will fit. Im getting done next week when I get back in town. I will post some pictures as soon as it is done.

I know I have posted this in other threads, but I am running a 2.5/1" lift and 34" Terra Grapplers on a 22x9" rim with 32mm of backspacing. I did do some trimming but I do not rub at all moving forward and only have slight rubbing in reverse. The rubbing is on the actual bumper cover, not the fender liners.

I WILL be installing a 2" body lift sometime this winter.

With the right offset and some trimming I am sure that 35s will fit with a 3.5 front lift. I will say that everyone's opinion on trimming is different. My opinion is, if I don't have to trim anything that will be noticable from a couple feet away, I don't consider it "major" trimming.

Looking forward to seeing the 35s on . Please post pics of the front suspension, espcially the CVs.

Hopefully some of you are taking these trucks offroad, and if so please post some reviews on the 3.5" kit with updates as more miles are put on.
