Hey guys a bud at work just got a 2008 silverado 2500hd crewcab lt he wants to put on a set of 20 inch rims can he get away with a leveling kit or will he have to go with a lift kit all the way around.

 

[TELORVEHC]

He should be ok with just a leveling kit as long as the rims aren't super-wide.

How big of a tire does he want to run and what offset us the 20's?

He should be okay as long as the rim isn't over a 20x10 but i would be more comfortable and everyone would to play it say and go with a 20x9. I would go with a 20x9 0 Offset and 33 12.50. Idk he might be able to fit one bigger being the HD's sit up higher than the 1500's he might could get away with a 35 but might have to be narrow... Let us know the rim and tire size.

In this case, to simply go with a wheel that is of a larger diameter, there is no need to make any adjustments to the ride height.

i have a question, but didnt want to start a new thread since its about lifting.... i was thinking about putting a 2 inch lift all around my truck ( 2007 silverado classic) in the future if i want to put a 4 inch suspension lift on the truck, will that work with the 2 inch lift kit? the 2 inch lift kit uses leaf springs and torsion keys, and the 4 inch lift uses blocks in the rear and strut spacers.

The wheels are 20x10 and he was looking at some 295/60/20 nittos

 

[ajarman]

That is a 34" tire and most Nittos run big. I believe the ReadyLift HD level kits only fit 33's so a lift would have to be run to fit them.

 

[Blackout07]

Definately not going to work without a lift.

Tell your buddy to get a 325/60/20 which is a 33 13.50 it should work out good. Well atleast i know in cooper stt's its a 33 13.50 might be a lil smaller in other name brands. Either way a 33 12.50 he should be fine with a 2.25 inch readylift leveling kit!

325/60/20 = 35.35 x 12.8. And there is no way a 33x12.50 is going to fit on a 10 wide wheel with just leveling...even on an HD. It would require a good bit of fender modification.

X2 what Blackout07 said. No way will those 325's fit without a lift.

 

[Rockstarrchevy81]

well i guess it's different with a x10 rim i guess because i ran a 325/60/r18 with just a 2.25 leveling kit when i just cut the plastic fender liner.
