Will 305/55R20 fit with a 2.25" lift?

That looks sick bro. Thanks for posting those pics. Any doubt I had about doing those tires and lift are gone after seeing those.

Good luck!. I do have some vibration at highway speeds due to the larger tire combination. I was told that is just expected with the larger tires and with out chaning the steering geometry at all. I'm looking for ways to reduce the vibration (maybe an aftermarket steering stabilizer???). If you have any ideas let me know. It's definitely live-able for now. But can be annoying on long highway drives.

Are you sure it is not a balance issue? I assume you had your truck aligned after doing the leveling kit?

SW CT,
I have 305/55-20's on mine with 2.5/1 and had to trim, granted I do have aftermarket wheels. I will say that I do not have any vibrations with mine...I would check the balance..if you feel it in the wheel its the front, if you feel it in your seat then the rear..an alignment issue can also cause a vibe, but I would start with balancing the tires.

Do you happen to have any pics? Thaks for the help. Also, where did you have to trim, and if you were to do it again would you still go with the 305/55 or would you do a 285/55? Thanks again

I had the shop who mounted my tires do an alignment and balance. The first time the vibration was awful so I took it back and they were able to balance the wheels a little more. It helped but there is still some vibration at highway speeds. I plan on taking it to another shop to see if they can do a better job balancing.
