2021 Leveling/Larger tires

[DWSmoot]

I think so

would you say the K2XXs have more room in the wheel well?

Yes a bit. More angled than boxy from previous years.

Yes I had seen this video. I asked my dealer and he said they have been produced in limited numbers and for this purpose, reviews, tests, etc. There is no build option on the Chevy website that I saw.

Thanks for the heads up. Having it done at the dealership. The Z71 comes stock with 275/60/20 which is a 33” tire. I am only increasing .6 inches. Hopefully there won’t be an issue.

Several companies make a 275-65-20, a 34" tire that is stock width and in the 900s and K2s, requires no trimming even on stock ride height vehicles. So they say!

Did this one come with a 3.42 rear axle?

3.42...or supposed to anyway. Max Trailering package. Looked thru my documents but don't even have sticker as it came off the truck to me.

Optons in addition to the Z71 standards on mine are:

Z71 Signature Package
2nd row bucket seats.

It's a good looking truck - I like the running board delete - I hate those things.

Thanks I agree, although it seems a tad hire than previous years. They were not on it when delivered and just told them to leave them off.

Yeah - I noticed not much rake in the stance - almost looks leveled out of the box.

It’s actually a bit less than previous years but also believe the wheel wells are a bit different front to back. Planned on putting a 2” level on this week with new wheels and bigger tires, but might leave as stock if tire clear. Have seen a few leveled on internet that look a tad high in front leveled.

New wheel/tire setup on:
Wheels 22x9 +24 offset, 285/50r22 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. No noticed rubbing yet. Clears by 1/2” on front so did not install level at this point. May add at later date still deciding.

those wheels look great! are they aftermarket as it looks like I see a bowtie?

Thanks. Yes aftermarket GM replicas with OEM center caps.

Has anyone else been looking into leveling kits for these 2021’s? I have a 2” that fits from Rough Country but I did not install due to the ones I have seen with a 2” look a bit nose high. Looking for a confirmed strut extension mount 1” or 1.5 ” fit.

Thanks in advance!

That ride is looking nice already. Good job

@DWSmoot
What a day and night difference with the new wheels, are those 22" or 20s?

Does the leveling lot drop the rear or raise the front? I measured 6" gap in the front 6-1/2" gap in the rear with 285/45/22

Raises the front. Best way to measure is from ground to fender well above the tire.

What size wheel spacers did they use and are they hub centric?
