leveling kit max tire size?
hey guys!
I have a 2011 chevy silverado LTZ and I have been thinking of putting a Ready Lift 2.25 leveling kit on, would I be able to run 35" tires with 18 inch XD HOSS wheels or am I going to be stuck with 33" tires??? Need some feedback please and thank you

33s on these nnbs (07+) is a stretch even with a levelin kit. Especially when runnin aftermarket wheels. If you stayed with the stock wheels, on a 3" levelin kit, you could run 35s with some metal hackin and trimmin. But on a aftermarket wheel I'd stay with a 33

Sorry for being a pain in the a$$ but it crossed my mind last night if I were to through a 1" or 2" body lift on top of my leveling kit would that allow me to squeeze 35x1250x18 tires without any trimming??? Thanks!

A 3" body then yes with the right wheel you could. Just put it like this, my dad has a 07 nnbs vmax. We did a 3" levelin kit and a 1.25" rcx body lift and on a 20x9 -12 offset rim and a 33x12.5 toyo mt it almost rubs. If you want a 35, run a skinny one like a 285/65/18 or somethin along those lines. And don't get anything wider than a 9" wide wheel and keep it a positive offset to keep it tucked in the wheel well. On my dads his tires stick out a lil for a wider look

Biggest fit for fun.
You mentioned some metal hacking... I have just installed a 3" leveling kit on my 2011. What kind of metal hacking for 35's (don't know what brand). I am keeping the stock wheels as well (17"). Don't need it as big as the 2001. I am not scared to do a bit of body work. Fix it right the first time.
I did all the work on my 2001. 6" Fabtech suspension lift with a 3" Performance Accessories body lift. Sitting on top of 38" Super Swamper Boggers on 16x10 M/T Classics. A bit noisy but fun.

Mainly just the backside of the fender when turnin. Front you can just trim plastic but the back will hit metal. Needs to be cut and bent back. If done right you won't even be able to tell behind the plastic lining
