Is 2" Level enough for 35's?

[deepblack]

2.3" lift clears 35's

It might clear at ride height but it won’t help me clear through the full articulation of the wheel which is what I want.

I put the auto spring 2.3” kit on but the UCA hit the shock mount at full droop

Happy to report the tires fit perfectly with NO RUBBING!

In summary for others out there I did:

2" Autospring level, which left just over 1" rake. Looks pretty much level to the naked eye.

Installed 285/75r18 Goodyear Duratrac RT to my stock 18" rims and they fit great. No issues and the ride still feels like stock.

Thanks again to all who responded to this thread, I appreciate the info! I was nervous about spending $1800 on tires, only to have them cause unneeded problems.

Did you put wheel spacers on?

Do you happen to have a picture of the tire poke from the wheel well looking down the side of the truck? Thanks!

Yes, certainly. There's basically no poke. Sorry for the delay, I haven't been on this thread for a while.

….I’d be shocked if said pic request is posted.
If he does post it, it’ll be quite rare.

Sorry if this is hi jacking your thread but wondering for people that have done 35s, has it decreased performance? Idk if it matters but I have 3.5 engine.

I remember I bumped up tire size on my Silverado at one point and it slowed it way down

This can vary greatly depending on the type and final size of the tire that you’re interested in but yes, a slight decrease in performance, MPG, and braking should be expected with some noticing it more than others.

I haven't noticed much of a difference but mechanically speaking yes. The difference here is you have gobs more tq than the Chevy.
