I have a 2008 Chevy 2500HD Duramax with a level kit and just stock wheels and tires. Planning on putting some wheels on it and bigger tires this fall. I love this truck! I will be putting on a set of air bags in the rear before the first camping trip this year as well.
No they don't rub at all ever. The 305/55 trail grapplers measured 33.39" and the 285/55 terra grapplers measure 32.28. I wanted to try the 295/55 trail grapplers but they were only about a 1/2" less than the 305's which only gains you a 1/4" of clearance really so I went to the terras which...

The kit was really easy to install. I did it by myself. One thing I would suggest is taking the rear sway bar loose. I had to in order to drop the axle down enough to get the coil spring out.
I went...
So I needed up having to get a smaller tire size. The 305/55r 20 trail grapplers were a very tight fit. There wasn't much clearance between the bumper and the tire and I was worried my wife would rip her bumper off if she wasn't careful. I needed up putting on 285/55r 20 terra grapplers which...
The rear coil spring spacers showed up this morning and I got them installed. I did have to take the sway bar loose though to get it done. I cold barely get the spring out without taking the sway bar loose the way it was, let alone put it back in on top of the spacer. It's all looking good! The...
Will do man thanks! It's got a level kit but just stock wheels and tires basically. Like I said I would like to do a 4" lift with 35" tires if possible. I have done a little research and found mixed results on the 35"s fitting. I guess probably depends a lot on wheel selection. If I did the 4"...
Hey thanks! I appreciate the help and the nice comments. I want to take off the side boards and all the decals but she wants them left on so I guess that's fine. After all I did buy the truck for her. Also I would like to shave down the front air dam after seeing you a a couple others do it. I...
Well I thought I would start a new thread on my little project that I am doing to the wife's Yukon. It's nothing major but it will look so much better once it's done!
Here is what we started with
First things first, tint the windows.
I ordered the CCM 2.5/1 level kit and will...
I got the liners pulled out the stock wheels off and the pinch weld on one side cut out. I am just getting ready to bend the lower fender back into place.
I was just wondering if you cut the cab mount tabs off that stick out on the drivers side as well?
I was wanting to trim...
Hey thanks a lot! I really appreciate your help. I ended up getting the 305/55 trail grapplers. After seeing the photos of your Tahoe you had with them on it I couldn't resist them over the Terra's! I am excited to get it all done, if the wheels get here in time I hope to have to finished by...
Well I am just going to dive in I think. The level kit should be here Monday and I will be ordering the wheels and tires on Monday as well. I am going to go with KMC Monster 20x9 +18mm with 305/55R 20 Terra Grapplers. I was going to go with trail grapplers but this is my wife's vehicle and the...
I believe that he is very knowledgable just from lurking around the site that is why I am bombarding him with rookie questions. I really want to do the 305/55R20 with some KMC XD wheels. So by the sounds of it I need to get the +18mm offset. InTruck can you help me out with the extent of what...
For those of you running E rated tires on a 1500 how much more stiff do you think it made the ride? I was wanting to run 305/55R 20 trail grapplers and just looking for a few opinions on ride quality and what PSi you are using.
That looks really nice! I am wanting to do pretty much the same thing with my Yukon XL. Just trying to decide exactly what to do. I wanted to do 305/55R 20 on the same wheels that you have I was just worried about the extent of the trimming that would be involved.
Also wondering if you have...
If I get the +35mm offset wheels how much trimming will be involved and do you think that I will have to trim/remove the front air dam? Also if I dive into this switching from 17" to 20" with bigger/heavier tires is there anything I need to worry about or change as well so I don't damage my...
I think I am going to go with the xd monster with the 35mm offset. I am hoping they will look good and not sit in too far. Stock offset is 31mm from what I have gathered so that would put these in about .16" further than stock. However with the wider wheel and tire hopefully it will look good...
I have done some searching and read everything that I could find on my questions but just wanted to maybe get some definite answers so any help is appreciated.
I purchased a CCM 2.5/1 kit. I am wanting to put on 305/55R 20 (cooper zeon LTZ) and I was looking at getting rims with an offset of...
