Lifting a 2019 2500, Bigger Tires

[Crush14]

Tradesman with a Superlift leveling kit, 285/75/18 tires, and 0 offset 18” wheels. I think this setup provides the right amount of looks/function/price. No rub on the tires (34.9”), but they are about an inch narrower than a 35x12.5.

Thanks I'll look into this. Thuren does not show 19-20 for 2500's in their pull downs ... which is fine for me anyways, not really looking to lift ... it's already high enough stock ... even at 6'2" I was glad to get running boards finally installed yesterday ... only good thing about it before the step ups was the in-laws couldn't get in ...

Found this

I put the zone off-road 1.5 inch leveling kit on my truck, it’s on amazon. Installed it in the driveway with jack stands in less than 2 hours. Bought some off brand shock extensions for 20 bucks and it works great. You can easily throw 35-12.5 on stock, I just think it looks better leveled. Also added some more caster to it and it feels so much more nimble now.

Mine has the Snow Chief option which I read somewhere lifts the front end slightly ... I believe it because mine appears to have very little rake ... anyways, based on your opinion and others, I think I'm just going to get some 35x12.5's on 20 inch rims ... what is your opinion on offset ? Could I get a -12 or -18 with those 35's and still probably be ok ... or would you guess I'll be rubbing/trimming a little bit ? I like the stance with the tires outside of the wheel well a little ... right now its stock with those All Terrain Firestone's and from behind I think it looks "top heavy" , would like her to look a little more squatty with a slighty wider wheel base ... not quite "pizza cutters" right now, but close.

I think I am going to be going for 325/60r20s once I wear out the stock, but only likely going to do 0 offset on a 9 inch wide rim. I’m pretty sure the dimensions of that tire are a little wider than 12.5 and will likely push my tires out about 1.25 inches which is enough for me. I doubt that setup you are talking about would rub though, those wheel wells actually make a 35 look small.

Finally ... that is all I needed ... thank you. Think I will try 35x12.5 20's with a 0 to -12 offset and just keep the exacto knife and tin snips close ... I don't go offroad unless doing a U-Turn and I drive on the shoulder a little bit ;-) ... so probably can run things pretty close. Thanks for the feedback.

On the CjC videos they talk about trimming and what to expect to trim and where when going to bigger tires.
