Changed tires out from Nitto G2 305/45r22 (12” x 32.8”) to Nitto Ridge Grapplers 285/50r22 (11.7 x 33.5). Had been contiplaticing this swap for some time to gain more height. This particular tire is wide for a 285 if any was wondering. Nearly as wide as the 305 I replaced. The ride is a bit better (Softer road feel) with additional sidewall and the overall ride is a tad rougher(expected with a more aggressive tread design) and maybe 10% louder than the G2, negligible. The look, IMO, is soooo much better as far as aggressiveness. I have some trimming/tuck to do on rear of fender well with the 0 offset and the additional 3/4” of height with the 285/50. I have a 2.5”/1” level coming to install which should help slightly. The current 2” RC level is prob really more than 1.75. Current measurements as sits:
Front 39”
Rear 39 3/8”

DWSmoot Sweet ride man. What 2.5/1 leveling kit did you order? I plan on putting the CCM 2.5"/1" on my 2016 Yukon. I'm Curious if there's a big difference in quality between different brands.

They are all literally just spacers.

Thanks. Got the front from Summit Performance and the rear from Suspension Maxx because of the rear load leveling brackets. Personally I have had good experience with the billet aluminum.

Yeah to a certain extent.. There's always going to be a quality difference when you go from cheap no brand ebay levels up to more popular names like RC, CCM, Ready Lift, etc.

Plus some brands have better warranties than others, along with better QC.
