Hello y'all I own a 2008 chevy silverado 6.0l 4x4 and i wanted to lift it up. I changed the tires and I have problem turning because the tires are bigger than the turning ratio, they are 285/75 R17. I instaled a 2" leveling kit with the torsion keys, but saw no difference. Finnally I am looking to get either a 6" inch lifting kit or a 4" kit and get some bigger tires. Any advice?
Thanks

So I take it you have a 2500HD if you have keys? And the tires alone won't make your turnin radius better or worse. Now if they're rubbin then yeah that's a problem. If you've put levelin keys on and it still didn't help, then somethin ain't right. Also are you sure that's the tire size? They make a 285/75/16 and a 285/70/17

Yeah they are still rubbing. I changed the original tires for some goodrich wrangler duratrac. Anyway i am possitive in lifting the truck up when i finish my tires but im not sure which way should i go. Maybe a 4" with some 35". What do you think?

If you're rubbin now with a 2" and 34" then I'd do a 4" on what you have on it now honestly. Did you crank the levelin keys up more or just install em and leave em there?

Yes i did , put the screw all the way. Now what lofing lit or process do you recomend?

Lifting kit*

Are these on stock wheels? That's crazy. Didn't figure a 34" would rub on a 2500hd with keys cranked. But anyways I'd probably a 4" on the same tires and wheels you have now. Or if you can change it up and do a 6" on 35s and either the same wheels or different wheels you have now

i have the same problem, 285-75-16 on my 2500hd and they rub when i turn. im thinking about either extending the bumper out or cutting it and making it a bit wider
