Does the 2" standard lift on the Trail Boss not do anything to allow for a bigger tire size?

you can get away with going up to 275/70/18 with no rubbing. Gives you and extra inch

the concern will be up front, I have a 19 custom and put on a RC 1.5' leveling and then went from the stock 18" with duratracs to 35x12.5x20 on an aftermarket wheel. doing this the wheel measurements needed to allow UCA clearance however I had to trim 2/3 of the mud flap and still get a slight rub at full turn in reverse sometimes. I along with many hate the fact that Chevy did not have these leveled at the factory for the type of truck they sold it as.

I wouldn’t gain anything, I’m running 275/60/20 currently, both 33”

i guess I don’t see what the stock 2”lift does…basically nothing

It makes it 2” higher than a regular Z71 1500 truck

I should have asked if you were running 18” or 20” wheels. True for 20 inch I’m not sure on a higher size as I went from stock 275/65/18 to the 275/70/18.

The stock lift does what it is intended to do....add ground clearance.

That's it...nothing to the body for larger tires....just clearance on the tires already offered

im able to fit a 295/70/r18 I think that's about the biggest you can go without cutting and lifting more
