tires

[06max]

I have an 06 2500hd stock height now and want to run 305/70r16 but would like to know if they will fit with a leveling kit installed or will I need a 4 inch lift. With a leveling kit only would a 285/75r16 fit and do I need a special tool take the torsion bars loose if I level it?

The 305's should fit just fine with a leveling kit on the stock rims, you may have to just barely trim a little bit of the fender to prevent the tires rubbing at full lock. Also, there is a special tool to remove the torsion bar keys Leveling kit, Lift Kit, Suspension,MAXX, Leveling Kits,Helper Springs for Chevy, Z71, Dodge, Ram, Ford, F150, Toyota, Truck, 4x4

I have 285s on 16x8 rims and no lift in the front. I only have a very minor rub when at full lock and going over a bump. If you use stock wheels, they work even better seeing that they don't push the tires out past the fenders like mine are now. I did however use a few zipties to tie back the fenderliner on the driver's side. Each truck is slightly different though.

you can fit 305's on a GM truck but you need wider wheels then the stock 7" wheels so i would highly recommend just staying with the 285's and all you need to turn the T/Bars up is a 3/4" socket and find the torsion keys under the truck and give them both roughly 3 turns..if you want something a little taller then the 285's but not as wide as the 305's go with the 295-75R16..

I agree if you run bigger than 285's you really need a wider wheel. some people i know run 305's with just cranking the t bars. no problems if you have a gmc and it rubs you can remove the plastic piece between the grill and bumper and raise the bumper for a little more room and it looks good

anyone know if 285/75R16 will fit 03 stock suberban

[n0useforaname]

Most people who are all stock need to crank the T bars and do trimming. So on a suburban..which has less of a lift....I would say you would have to mod it quite a bit. I might be wrong, but I know a 2500 is quite a bit higher than a stock 1500 or suburban..

I have a 06 as well and i had 285s on it with the stock wheels, it fit just fine i turned the torsion bars up to level the truck, I have a 6 in lift on it now with 35s
